THE OFFICIAL NIKE KOBE FOOTWEAR THREAD: RIP LEGEND 1978-2020. MAMBA FOREVER | 3 Releases 4/13

[Warrior415]

Received my Yellow strikes the other day and tried them on with I guess a "thicker" sock..and it's tough to feel comfortable in..anyone feel that way?

**Edit**

Nevermind..I took out the insole and put it back in..and now they feel a lot better

If I still played ball I would definitely hoop in these..

They definitely do not feel premium at all..glad I paid $129 as opposed to $200+

$129??? Where?

 

[Warrior415]

Just got the black pair. They’re snug from the knit but length and width are good. Does the knit actually break in some? They might be too tight on top of the foot for me.

$129??? Where?

I believe he has a Swoosh account. Lucky

^Damn, hook a fellow Kobe fan up fam

 

[Mamba.Max]

i wanna see Nike do different color insoles.. so we can swap them about a little, the color fade through the outsole and the visible part on the flyknit could be cool to customise.

any1 swapped insoles with the yellow strikes and the mamba days yet?

 

[gundamzaku]

checked out a pair of lakers colorway, it does felt like gauze, not the soft knit that i expect. even the KD8 flyweave feels softer.

Sizing on these is weird. I bought a 9 & 8.5 in the yellow, and the 8.5 is actually much bigger then the 9 .

The 9 is too tight and short. When I put them side by side, the 8.5 is noticeably longer.

 

[dragicon]

8.5 on the left/top; 9 on the right/bottom

 

[brian blades]

No wonder the sizing recs have been all over the place. Seems they’re only producing full sizes and labeling the half sizes on some cost cutting ****

Hopefully this is an anomaly or nike gon’ have some splaining to do

nike basketball is getting worse and worse.

8.5 on the left/top; 9 on the right/bottom

WTF? I went my TTS for the Kobe 360 and it fits perfect thinking that's what I'd need to go for if I choose to get another colorway. I'd hate to order TTS again next time and find out it's .5 size longer or shorter

Hasn't been good since 2014 IMO. 2015 was ok and then since 2016 it's been crap

 

[Blue Mamba]

Also why were the Mamba Days not black and gold? Seemed like a no brainer to me.

 

[ziggyhtx]

 

[Blue Mamba]

Plain, boring, uninspired.

 

[urn0tlike]

Terrible.

 

[Jacob86]

And these are a first day cop for me

 

[therefill]

Damn, that colorway is a bit weak, in my opinion. The first 3 colorways makes this pair look kinda plain. Also reminds me of the Kyrie 1 'Dungeon' colorway. Please just give us ID already.

 

[mister friendly]

 

[ventureblake]

Love those. Will definitely be my first pair. Simple n easy summer banger
