Simply loving these.
Beautiful no-nonsense colorway and an upgrade on the mids for me - zero break in time thanks to just a little extra room in the toe area. My favourite performance model since the Kobe 8s.
Anyone know if the black/golds will release properly? If not I may double up on these.
I slept on these (and so did others judging by the fact there’s still a FSR available), but I make you right.
I’ve been waiting for the elusive black/golds for so long that I’m just gonna call it a day and purchase these.
I’m old school and completely agree if speaking generally.
Creases, discolouring, paint chipping over time, I can dig that.
But one hour’s wear and the blue trim is already messed up on both sides of both shoes?
I’m waiting for another model where the midsole paint isn’t as shiny/chippable...
My guy, if I wanted a shoe with an all-white midsole to play in I’d have bought one.
One game in my Sport Blues and they already have more paint chips than my 2012 Bred 4s 🤣
Late to the 36s party.
Wore the Sport Blues for the first time.
A beautiful shoe in many ways.
But my oh my, did my right pinky take a beating.
And sadly even after one wear the blue paint on the midsole is getting scuffed up and looking ugly.
Disappointing.
Not sure it can be any worse than the 18s honestly.
LeBron not wearing the flagship sig model once in 7 postseason games was rather fitting.
I miss the days when LeBrons looked great casually, played great on court, and came in numerous great CWs. It’s been a while.
I play professionally in Europe. Playing in thin socks is not an option, and was never needed for a single other Kobe shoe prior to these. I don’t understand why the protros don’t fit the same as the OGs - if it ain’t broke, why fix it?
