Nike Zoom Kobe 1 Protro February 17th 2018

Definitely hope the undefeated colorways that dropped re-stock..I would love to cop a pair at the 300-400 range..hell even retail would be lovely :lol:
 
I would be extremely happy with anyone of these at retail. I really dont even know which one I would want most. The lakers fan in me says the yellows but I really love the red and greens

In a stroke of luck, the guy who flaked on me hit me up with shipping confirmation.

Only problem is it's a size 14 vice 15. For the price I'll take it.

What color? Yeah I wouldn't try to wear them if your a true 15 lol I had to take insole out of my 13 to make the og camos work and even then they hurt after a while.

Yellow. I'm a 14.5. My foot just feels more comfortable in 15's.

I'm gonna see what the fit is like.

The red Lebron DT's 15's actually fit well in a 14 which surprised me.

Hoping for the best but will hold and see what happens.
 
My guess is undfted will drop the ‘seized’ pairs at some points in-store after staff had their picks.

I wore them lightly for about an hour or a little more and found them to be very comfortable. I can only imagine after a nice break in period what they will feel like then. I know the All Stars didn't have the hype like the first release but they were the ones I was waiting for ever since the Del Sols. I know I'll love the final seconds too but so far the Kobe Protro 1 is my favorite release in a good while. Gonna try to get the next AD release and I'll be content until the Blackout 1's come thru

I love my Final Seconds/Close out. This was the one I was most excited about, pretty much a game worn PE from the 2006 playoffs vs the Suns aka the game winner by Kobe. The shoe in the lakers colorway with that "8" on it when he was a straight savage. I don't know how anyone cannot like these!

It's really too bad how the "value" of a shoe dictates the look of the shoe to some people. I know a lot of the new ""sneaker heads" will say these are trash and garbage because they're going for under retail and theyre " super bricks" lol. I may be guilty of that sometimes too but other times there's just a shoe like this you can't deny that it's super dope regardless of worth or availability.

Sell the 14 then use that $ to buy the 15 when one pops up.
Only option I can think of given the circumstances.

PO
 
Seller accepted my bid for a size 10 on StockX, not only was the price ok, shipping is free, due to "buyers reward"!

I bought two pairs of Final Seconds and none of the others. By far the best colorway to me. As you said, it's a Kobe PE from a very memorable moment/in-game highlight from his career. I don't care that they are readily available and for under retail, either. It is funny to me as well how there's this large sub-group of the culture that does seem driven solely by availability and/or price/value. Not that one is right and one is wrong, it's just a difference in what motivates people in terms of their interest in/desire for any given product.

Maybe if I was younger and grew up in this era of super-limited editions, collabs, etc., I would be different, too. I grew up in the '80s and '90s, and my love of sneakers started with MJ and basketball in general. So to this day I only buy shoes I actually want and that I think are cool for whatever reasons, looks or otherwise. Never does a shoe's availability/rarity factor into what I buy. But that's just me. Now, I'm not going to say that, when one of the shoes I actually want happens to be more rare and I get them, that the "exclusivity" factor doesn't add slightly to the fun factor. It does, and that's just human nature. But it's just a silly little bonus. I also find that the older I've gotten, the rarity factor--even if I wanted it to matter--is of no consequence in my actual life. By the time I hit my mid-30s, basically no one I hang or associate with gave or gives a **** about sneakers. So I won't be impressing anyone in my real life no matter what I rock. They wouldn't even know what they are in the first place. And at 40, I sure as hell don't care whether or not some 19-year-old kid on the street notices my shoes. For me to really impress anyone in my world, I need to buy a $3M house, or a new 911, or a new ceramic Rolex Daytona. I am failing at those goals LOL
 
do these run tight? I am a 10.5 but a size 11 is going for less and want to make sure it fits good. Any help is appreciated

Just need the 81 points and maybe the Grinches to retro and I can get out of the game for good.

These a size 13? If they are they were probably mine. I just sold a pair on StockX last week. Glad it went to a niketalker if so
 
I hope Nike has plans to GR these (or at least the yellow) Resell is NUTS and that’s the pair I would love the most

they actually run TTS for me, when most retros run a little more spacious to me, but i guess these aren't retros, but protros :smile:
 
Well a 15 just hit stockx for 4k....lmao

I can sell the 14 for 500 more than I bought it for right now on stockx but I don't have it in hand yet.
