Nike continuing the Grinch theme but in the Mamba Rage lol
that colorway would be well represented on the 360 imo...

That Grinch is actually pretty solid.
Kobes are the 'Jeep' of signature sneakers. Even though a lot of people always complain that each model looks the same, they're best when they stick to the 'tried and true' Kobe formula. The second you look at that sneaker up there, theres no doubt it's a Kobe.
They're better off sticking to the old 8, 9, and 11 formula along with 'Protros.'
Just alternate between EM and Flyknit, make em all look like 8 thru 11s, and give us every colorway and pattern under the sun with zoom. Done.

I loaded up on XIs a fair amount, too. I still have at least two pairs of DS multicolor IDs somewhere in my closet. I might even have three. Can't even remember

The last grinch Kobe takedown was nice too. Believe it was the mentality 2.

Yeah, exactly - that February release date, like the Protro I, and in Charlotte makes sense for this colorway.

Looks like they struggle to give those any good colorways so I wouldn't be surprised if they moving on to the Exodus. The Exodus will probably sell more units due to the price and the design allows it for more colorways.

Drop in the inserts from the Kobe XI or AD NXT if you have either of them.

Really wish I made an ID pair now for that full zoom setup ughI loaded up on XIs a fair amount, too. I still have at least two pairs of DS multicolor IDs somewhere in my closet. I might even have three. Can't even remember

Was worth it. I bought all 3 configurations. I actually think the stock lunar/zoom combo is the best of the 3. The "Free" inspired forefoot on the stock midsole doesn't exist on the full zoom version so it's a flatter ride IMO.
Still, I had to have options...

Uhm NO, Just NO!! There is no innovation to that. I don't want the same looking shoes over and over. Might as well be like the Apple iPhones. Look the same, just change the guts. No thanks!
Yes iPhones still sell, but that's due to the apple legionnaires and loyals. Yea I'm loyal to Kobe's but I don't mind change. I loved the OG AD, NXT and AD Mid.
I was able to cop from FTL. Still no shipping confirmation though.

OIC. No wonder I haven't received anything yet. I need to check if I was charged yet or not then. I know I got $7 cashback from eBates. Foot Locker was 7% cash back. #WIN
