Nike Zoom Kobe V PROTRO - Dec 2019

Mentioned this in the Jordan V white/fire red thread ...
I bought a fourth pair of Protro Chaos from SX yesterday. Hate paying resell prices and especially in the circumstances. Maybe I'm wrong but I don't see prices coming down to a point that it really makes a huge difference, so I just sad eff it.I should have just bought that last pair on release day for retail, and I didn't. It's my favorite Kobe--I went through three pairs of the OG release.
In the end, it stings, but these ain't coming back around again for a LONG time, unless Nike reloads ... which seems doubtful.
Some of you guys know, I have multiples of a handful of certain shoes I love. But I only have four pairs of two shoes: Concords and now Chaos Vs. I guess these are my two favorite shoes of all time. As it should be.

I had a hand in this. :rofl:

I‘m glad you got me to buy my one pair. We are even. :lol:

Remember when you were only maybe gonna buy one pair? Wait, I thought you ended up with two?
Regardless, it IS your fault. You were talking sense at the time and I listened for once. Cost me an extra $200 now. Way to go, dickhead :lol:

Yeah I don't see the Chaos dropping much. Also want a pair but it wouldn't make sense for me to pay resale since I want to hoop in them.
I infer you didn't get a pair on release day? If that's the case I agree. If they aren't your jam in a bigger way and you only want to play in them, makes no sense.
 
I also want a pair for hooping. I'm not too invested in any single colorways, so I will patiently wait until we get some GRs that are easily attainable near retail...
 
if I paid retail, I have no problem hooping in them even if they have a high value. But if I have to pay resale, kind of hesitant to F them up in hoops lol

I really just want some Kobe's to hoop in.

Waited too long when the Protro 1s sat around and hit outlets. Now the prices are way up there to justify paying.
 
I have the og models of most of the kobe line so I still hoop in those. But a fresh protro (espeically 5's) is what I wanna try right now.
 
Dug through my stash and found this DS outlet gem find

I’m gonna end up paying resale for sz 12 pretty soon! Very upset but nothing to do other than b*tch and moan! And I will defy hoop
In them. I’m not into wasting money by “collecting”

I hope this is an old picture. If this is recent the glue in the 5s wasn’t that good and all my OG Vs Separated from the midsole a couple of years ago :frown:
If you do decide to wear them take a back up pair
 
Those look like they held up pretty well. Del sols seem to be one of the worst aging pairs. A lot of parts yellow.
 
Those were the days bros. Most colors were at all the outlets for 70-90 bucks. Then I began scooping pairs at Rugged Warehouse for $40 each. Inks, inlines, del sol, all black. Less than $175 funded my hoop shoes for like 5 years after. Now that won’t get me one GR Protro.
