I had to do the same. Threw some force fields in them and that helped with the deadspace. Biggest worry for me going a whole size up was the creasing on the plastic upper since more dead space = a lot more creasing imo. I dont care about creasing, but i would imagine eventually it will crack 🤷🏻♂️
Can anybody help me out with a sizing update on BL’s? Specifically compared to the Eybl’s or anything that released on mamba week. Are newer releases still running narrow? Hoping Nike fixed it as finding 13.5 is either expensive af or impossible. Much appreciated!
Heads up for those who are interested in the USA protro’s. Hit up Stock X. I got mine for $110, but looks like a $25 bid got accepted. Beating myself up if that $25 sale is legit. Could have gotten them for waaaaay less.
I can confirm that these do rub against the heel. The part where the pull tab attaches to the shoe is thick stitching and really rubs my Achilles raw. I am not sure if this is a matter of breaking them in, but as I wore them more throughout the day, the rubbing became less. Hoping I just need...
Back in 2006 I was deep into SB's and missed out on the Kobe line until much later. Now with these Protros, I am finally able to purchase the 1's I missed out on.
My Protro Collection so far:
Question: Can anyone confirm if Kobe actually wore the MPLS 1's in game? Also, did he wear the 2006...
After reading all these stories and comments on the undftd shenanigans, i’m happy with my gr del sol 1’s. The fit on them is nicee for being such a bulky shoe. They’re no 8’s or 11’s but weight doesnt seem to be an issue. Break in on these is almost instant and the leather quality is on point...
Best $90 pair i've bought all year. Tried to take it one step further by sanding the tongue logo and painting it gold, but no success.

Been rocking my opening nights all week. Idk why everyone is pooing on these. We finally get a Laker colorway and everyone still complains. Some might argue its not a Laker colorway because it has orange not gold, but to me its close enough. Imo top 3 kobe flyknit. The logo and colors are just...
Are these a custom pair of Inspirations, PE, or just a sample? I'm hoping these release so I can get one more pair of highs before I go into hibernation on the 10's
Got mine today and threw them right on! I kind of regret not getting the exact pair Kobe had because of its significance, but I am still very pleased with my simple design.
I keep reading nothing but negative comments about the midsole, but IMO the most glaring problem on these shoes is the lack of any sort of shozoku or branding on the tongue. With the tongue only featuring a signature, I feel that this is the biggest knock on the shoe as it makes the shoe look...
Randle will ball out and Nike will have him carry on the Kobe line when Mamba retires. Idk why Randle switched from wearing Kobe 9's during the NCAA tourney and now he rocks Soldiers...boooo! Maybe Kobe is making him earn the right to wear his shoes? lol

Dang, those Legacy joints would have looked nuts if they would have mixed in some yellow/gold flyknit or at least hit it with some gold/yellow accents the way Buss' jacket has the yellow letter stitching. Either way, I'm about to add hightop #6 to the collection this Sat!
