I mean that'd be annoying but somewhat understandable if that was the case, if he simply communicated it. The problem is the regular folk have not just been pushed to the back of the queue.... at this point he's taken customers shoes and money without any further communication. It doesn’t take...

Confirm I've also have shoes with Mamba Restorations for over 15 months (end of 2023) and haven't heard from him despite repeated attempts reaching out on various channels (email, phone, IG). I know of many others in the same boat (via IG and that FB group). This is definitely not an isolated...

I was pretty concerned with all this discussion of sizing up as all my OG and protro Kobes (V, VI, VIII, IX) were US9 (TTS) and I bought US9 in these but didn't have the chance to try on last few days. I use them all for hooping not casual. I put the All Star 2.0s on first time today and they...

Just returning here to say the Year of the Mamba and X-rays are the biggest monstrosity to ever be released in the Kobe line. It's honestly one of the hardest shoes to screw up due to the colorblocking available but Nike managed to do it - they managed the impossible! do they have 5 year old...

I feel bad for kids these days. simple fact, nike needs to make more shoes and make them widely available in brick and mortar. enough to kill the resale game. i might be showing my age but remember in the 90s and you could walk into a suburban footlocker OUTSIDE OF THE US and buy the latest...

Yeah **** resale. Was gonna pay a small markup for 5 rings locally but decided no last minute. The more you buy resell the more it encourages resellers. I know it won’t make a difference but it’s all about principles.

Haha same, I have OG chaos and they're fine. Must be a Dark Knight thing. Same because IMO they're a top 3 CW after Chaos and OG Bigstages

Weird question. I have OG dark knights and the heel section of the sole rubber has “dried out” so it’s hard and won’t grip on hard wood. Has this happened to anyone else’s OGs and any way to fix ie using conditioner/chemicals...? Just asking otherwise I guess I’ll just keep them on the shelf for...

5 rings seems like a pretty wide release compared to other releases. How many colorways made it to Eastbay?

Also looks to be available on Malaysia Nike SNKRS. Asia only?

In all fairness Kobe V Chaos is a top 5 Kobe model/colorway combination of all time. But also agree, Nike dropped the ball on the new Protro designs like Protro big stage, undftd etc. It's like they don't know how to color block it. Dark Knights, OG Big stages, 5 rings, Lower Merions, All...

They're slightly even more narrow than OGs

What's your top 3 colorways so far (of the protros)? For me: 1. Chaos 2. 5 rings 3. EYBL Girls Personal opinion: Big stage mash up is vulgar. Just give us the damn OGs man. TBH praying like a mf Dark Knights happening but doesn't look like it.

Vote with your wallets kids. These colorways are trash and everyone here knows it.

There will be a boatload of the Lakers colorway dropping within the next few weeks. I wouldn't worry.
