I like the OG thin tongue more. The leather used on the Protro tongue isn't that great and not very flexible/breathable. If they really wanted better comfort and padding they could have took the nylon fabric tongue from the Elites. The tongue from the GT Cut 1 also heavily reminded me of the 8s...

A bunch of TB 8s.

It's so much missed potential. The black Lakers away pair could easily have been the Amnesty colorway, while the white Lakers pair could have been the Achilles game colorway. Those were "basic" team colors with solid black/white uppers and no graphic prints, but they had great stories behind...

Because it’s cheap. It literally took Nike the lower cost of mass-producing the all-white Halos and painting the swoosh and heel logo to make those lakers homes.

Okay but that heel shape also reminds me of these Curry's though😂

I'm not even disgusted or disliking it, I'm impressed that someone did it and it doesn't look super jarring.

Bold to assume the 10s will even get a Protro. The way things have been going it seems like we’re just getting more 4s and 6s.

Make it a parody of the Air movie about Jordan and tell the story about Yeezy boosts lol

Kobe made a tweet about it back around 2013. Fun fact: the green Kobe 10 was named the vino colorway.

I like the college PEs of the OG 8s from 2012 better than what they're doing for the Protros. The new ones look like glorified TBs whereas the graphics on the OG Duke PEs have a lot more personality.

I'll add that, assuming both pictures are DS pairs, that the eye stay part of the upper is tighter and more straight compared to the reps. The reps upper looks like it was sloppily wrapped onto the last.

A traditional low cut inner sleeve/tongue sewn to the strobel and eliminating the play-strong mid cut sleeve option should solve its issues.

I liked the engineered mesh, flyknit, and jacquard/performance woven stuff from the mid to late 2010s, shoes like the Kobe 8/9 and Jordan 29. Overlays on the toe or heel made of leathers or suedes are a plus (Kyrie 4 and 6 is a good example). Textiles are cheap sometimes but at least my examples...

Too bad the materials are trash. Putting felt and rip stop for 190?

It reminds me of the later variations of the vice city heat jerseys. It starts out with a dope idea, then a good extension of a dope idea, then slowly becomes overplayed and underwhelming.

now that you mention it, I don’t think Eric Avar was ever involved with any of the protros.

I think Nike forgot how to execute patterns properly on engineered mesh. The sulfurs and christmas lights had complex patterns while the purple fades and easters did gradients beautifully. Now all we get are washed-out black butterflies and screen-printed numbers.

Gives PE a whole new meaning (parent exclusive)😂

I don’t think someone with Kobe in their username would ever pass.
