so, let's just look at this:
1. The Kobe I was a successful shoe
2. The KobeTwo was such a bad design, even Kobe stopped wearing it
3. Nike stood by him through his infidelities and trial
4. Nike has successfully marketed an aging superstar right along side their premier lineup
5. Kobe 1-6 have all been successes for Nike and Kobe
6. Kobe 8 can barely stay on the shelf following an arguably poorly fitting Kobe VII
7. Even with the aforementioned poor fit, Kobe VII colorways continue to be highly coveted
8. Kobe and Nike seem to be a good fit
yeah, he should definitely go back to adidas...
