Nike Zoom Kobe IV PROTRO (MORE IN 2023!!)

[kg21]

Someone remind me, what was the cushioning setup on the OG 4?

Heel zoom and lunar foam in the forefoot. The lunar foam felt nice the first few weeks but then it would bottom out and that was the biggest complaint about the IVs which is why everyone was super excited to hear these were getting retooled with full-length zoom.

Definitely understand this, it was brought to my attention a week ago the kyrie 5 pe has some sort of plastic shank plate underneath the soul that not found in regular retail consumer kyrie 5.


Nike needs to open up Nike ID basketball not only to cosmetic changes but internal customization. I’ll glad pay more for full length zoom air oppose to changing up a colorway.


Hopefully they take notes and fix this problem cause this bad press for them going forward.

I remember I paid $20 extra for the full length zoom insert on the Kobe 11 NIKEID

Yeah, once a player becomes injured, especially with Kyrie having screws in his knee, the sneaker company must adjust the shoes specifically for his gait, and placing support where he needs it. Full length zoom would be dangerous for someone with Kyrie's injury history, as he needs more stability than bounce.

nothing adding on my end

Here's a segment taken from this article: http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/...-went-wrong-pg-25-shoe-zion-williamson-injury

"However, all shoe brands will custom-make models for NBA players that require more support or other modifications. Joel Embiid, who wears Under Armour, requires added collar foam and padding for comfort, along with added reinforcement layers in the forefoot for lateral support."

I would guess forefoot or full length Zoom.

I remember Kyrie's Kyrie 1 had extra forefoot Zoom for his shoes he played on court.

What do you mean by extra - like there's two zoom units in the forefoot? Because the Kyrie 1s I played in came with a forefoot zoom unit and nothing in the heel.

Footlocker description still says full length zoom smh. Keep that FSR.

Nike looking at the 50k pairs of other protro iv colorways in the their warehouse and like ... “damnit nightwing”

 

[alchemist iq]

Them cw's fire ?

 

[urn0tlike]

Nike needs to redeem themselves by dropping the price on the other colorways. No way should they stay $175 with the minimal upgrade especially after getting bagged like this.

 

[Fozz]

What a waste by Nike. I'm sure they don't care if they take the financial hit. But man, if they actually followed through and did what they advertised, this wouldn't be a problem.

 

[tigo0240]

It's a lose-lose either way.

If it was truly just a typo, then the original product was still NOT a protro in any measurable way.

If it wasn't a typo and they were acting in bad faith, they're scumbags.

 

[thapointguy]

Nah bet $175 gonna stand. Nike just gonna keep some stock (send them to outlets later) and say take it or leave it

 

[ballyeaz]

im actually cool with the real insole setup esp if the price is right

but damn nike...why you gotta lie? smfh

 

[blastercombo]

Really?

 

[vladimir dinero]

might as well cop a pair of PGs if i'm only gonna hoop with a single zoom air unit

blows out knee

 

[Thierry Henry]

what's up with Kyrie's and PG's only having a zoom bag in the forefoot? Nike's way of "cost-cutting"?

yes. nike is known to be *** holes like that

 

[dr damon]

It’s because the current “sneaker head” generation could care less about tech and more about posting on social media... that is why Nike does this. Because people will buy the shoes anyway. They will alienate a small percentage of consumers that know better bit the majority of the public doesn’t know and if they do know they don’t care

From what I recall, the people commenting on the pics said the forefoot zoom unit covered a wider area.

Naw it’s not that. It’s an option of preference in setup. There’s shoes with zoom in the front only, back only, full zoom with a single bag, full zoom with 2 bags, zoom with react, etc. it’s juat another choice

 

[D_eezus]

They give us the right colors we copping though.

Still don’t understand why the did shorts and jerseys like that looks weird

 

[Bert.]

Still confused how sizes are gone on FTL but haven’t been able to add via browser or app the last day and a half


Alright
