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

[thapointguy]

WTF? How many AD models are there?!

 

[madgame87]

So like a KD11 upper with a different cushioning setup..

The outsole resembles the Kyrie 3 and Kobe 8.

 

[witthemoneyteam]

Those new kobes are crazy man look like the Kobe v and the Kobe x

Full length zoom and I might be in

 

[Kinfolk]

These are nice. Dope color way.

They look like a one bootie upper and I'm kind of over that but whatever.

I'm guessing segmented zoom in heel and forefoot.

They also look kind of stiff...

 

[howdythere]

Kobe day? How many days are there devoted to Kobe? Haha

 

[dru812002]

This has to be the new Kobe AD model! It’s $140 which is cheaper than the AD Mid which is $150 retail. It does not say MID in the title. Plus the AD Mid released the same time last year 8/24/17.

I knew it!

 

[little mac]

Kobe line is officially a mess. They need Eric Avar back at the helm. It's not that the above is bad. It's nice that it's $140.

But it looks like it was a team interns that sat down and said..."Off-White is 'lit', Element 87 is hyped...so let's go with that vibe." Again, they're not bad. But Kobes used to set the path, not follow it.

 

[revan]

Really like the way these look, but I just bought the 360s.

 

[goldmember]

Rolled my ankle just by looking at that new shoe

 

[howdythere]

So much trash. Focus on one shoe and make it great, not 12 mediocre models.

 

[jaynev]

Zoom heel and forefoot would be nice. But the narrow heel shape and midfoot got me worried. Looks somewhat surprisingly high off the ground in the heel.

 

[dru812002]

Please give us a Carpe Diem colorway!

 

[datsevil2]

Please give us a Carpe Diem colorway!

I think if they did a chaos color way would be better. The shoe looks wild.

 

[tigo0240]

I can't wait for the one-piece bootie phase to be over.

 

[little mac]

Can't agree enough with one of the above comments. The current offerings (non-Protro) seem to be all over the place, and they're not doing any of them great. Regular AD, 360, Rage, NXT. They need to go back to basics with this line.

I'm just glad they're doing a solid job with Protros.

 

[Blue Mamba]

The Protos are how Nike should be doing basketball shoes.

 

[tigo0240]

I just wish they'd make more protro 1s without that "crinkle" leather. Looks like crumpled up paper.

 

[hoosier bad boy 11]

I like these they look dope can we get some ID options.

 

[Naruto]

They should protro Jordans

 

[Blue Mamba]

They should protro Jordans

They already tried that with the "remastered" versions and it went terribly wrong

 

[alchemist iq]

They should protro Jordans

Man they should stop doing retros all together . The redundancy is what's killing Jordan brand.

Jordan brand has done something like protros. Think the .5 series/lineup.

 

[dru812002]

They already tried that with the "remastered" versions and it went terribly wrong

That wasn’t “protro” which tries to upgrade by improving performance. JB claimed to be making them closer to OG but with better quality and materials. Which Failed...smh

 

[dru812002]

I like this colorway, reminds me of my favorite and only Air Presto “bitter honeys”.

 

[therefill]

There is another sneaker with a very similar design and colorway. I can't remember if it's a AF1 model, Jordan 1 model, or a SB Dunk model.

Edit: It might be the LeBron Stewie Griffins that I'm thinking of actually. But it might also not be
