NIKE KOBE VI PROTRO - 2021

[kingjay718]

Seen local posts to LA for 400-500...who’s buying at that price to make sellers think that’s the selling point? I’m gonna continue to hold out until sub 350.

Nobody really. Maybe a dope boy or someone who just don’t give a damn. 300-320 is very possible.

Who the F paying $500 for these? They like $300-$400 on StockX/GOAT

that’s when you know the shoes have fallen into the wrong hands. People hit exclusive access thinking they hit the lottery.

they’re not willing to take my offers during pre-release, they come crying back to me after release date,“please, I’ll take your offer now” meanwhile pairs are in hand from the release date and their price is all of a sudden 1-250 cheaper. Kick rocks loser.

I have a wide foot so I went a half size up

So u wear the same size as the protro 5s?

 

[Bert.]

I ****ing need these

 

[theprocess]

I’m never taking the red laces off ❤

Looks good did u go tts or half size up?

TTS. I find them way easier on the feet than the 5s

It’s so funny how high their are on their imaginary pedestal only for it to topple. I love it. Have fun with your brick(s).

I’ve gotten to a point after all these years that I find it funny...Every single release is selling out because these “resellers” are expecting quadruple return on the shoes every time out the gate...Not everything is a Travis Scott collab ...Every release isn’t an auto lottery win...

Perfect example is the neon AM95’s that released yesterday...People are throwing pairs on StockX making like $15-$20 over what they paid after fees and such...How in the world does that make it worth while? By the time you factor in the price you paid for that bot, or paid that store employee a couple extra bucks to back door that pair, you end up breaking even...The only real winner in that scenario is StockX and GOAT...

The only ones making money are the ones who play the waiting game...Most don’t have the free money to tie up like this anyway...OR...The ones who crawl through the outlets a couple times a week buying up those dusty discount pairs on bulk at $40 each, only to throw them up on eBay at retail price...

These hypebeast kids are too thick headed to realize the real money isn’t with getting lucky on the hype pairs...It’s buying low at bulk, sitting on them, then selling them at or close to retail ...

Yeah, everyone is buying EVERYTHING now. StockX and GOAT made things so easy because you don't need your own pictures/have to worry about setting up an auction. I think that alone would make it worthwhile for some people even if they are only pulling $15-$20 per pair. Multiply that across 5-10 pairs of shoes and they aren't making big money but an extra $100-$200 isn't terrible while everyone is just stuck at home.

It’s sad, from the perspective of a sneakerhead that is...People aren’t looking for the cred on what their collections look like, but rather how many pairs of whatever they cooked on a particular release...The fundamental shift in this hobby of ours came when the majority of people buying weren’t doing it to have a particular shoe, but rather to show they copped it, and were going to make sooo much cash off of it...

Your right though...In general this year opened people up to selling literally anything too...Like TP and hand sanitizer...It’s nuts...

If you're desperate for money you would be better off as seasonal help for fedex or ups or stocking shelves somewhere. 10% profit flipping shoes is awful. Spending $2000 to make $200 IS terrible and very high risk.

I totally agree. I just want these shoes to wear. But all we have is tons of people with early access immediately putting them on eBay.

And exactly. This has become the year of flipping whether it's shoes, video game systems, pools, whatever.

I'm not disagreeing with you but with one of those things, you can sit at home all day on your computer.

 

[logic78]

So u wear the same size as the protro 5s?

5s I got a size 11

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, sneaker culture has become so lame.

if i get the grinch, they're hitting the hardwood to play actual basketball games (as do all of my kicks) once the pandemic is over. if i wanted a pair on ice, i'd get a second pair. the first pair is always used to play ball, not even casual.

i’m ok with play 350-375 to hoop in because i copped hyperadapts for that reason

 

[theprocess]

5s I got a size 11

what do u wear for the 6s?

 

[jayocampo]

Haven't really tried to break in my bruce lee protro 5s yet but they're def tighter than the originals. Anyone that got early access wanna comment on the fit of grinches?? Hoping the fit isn't snug like the 5s because 13.5 isn't even sold on snkrs lmfaooo.

 

[theekid23]

Same thing for me. Even tried Sacramento. I wonder if Nike SF will have a reservation for them?

Nike SF told me they ain’t receiving these when I picked up my pair of Jubilees

 

[treez84]

Wore the OG AS for goodluck when I went to go check-in at the store for some head start

I dog walked these! Brings back so many memories. Deserves a retro

 

[arliu]

Kobeeeee

Damn, hope SNKRS has a ton of pairs

Gents--
If this originally released in 2010, that would mean that the NBA was currently outfitted with Adidas Rev 30 jerseys with the mesh numbers, correct?
