Kobe 1 = Air Zoom Legend Kobe II = Air Zoom Double Take and recently Kobe III = Air Zoom81 wow each one sucks
I think the marketing sucks with the positioning of this second Kobe line. The direction is going nowhere with these "take-down" versions. I'm sure Nike can offer better value at a less-expensive price for those peoplewho want a Kobe shoe but aren't willing to shell out the money. Just that the idea of a team shoe, no technology, poor craftsmanship and cheesy names seems out of whack. I was thinking more of the lines of Lebron- having a battleground shoe or playoff shoe (20.5.5, soldier I & II's). Something that Kobe can actuallyendorse on an NBA court.
team kicks...... those 'll be on the clearance rack this summer ..... the Hyperdunks however are much better... Best in the Business
These Take Downs aren't really part of the kobe line though. There are take downs of Lebrons shoes too.
i have a pair of mpls 3s and imo these look better than the 3s...id cop these. loving the colorways too.
