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

[D_eezus]

**** SX and all the other sneaker apps/shops that were all noble right after Kobe's passing and said they won't allow sales of his sneakers. A few weeks later it was back to business as usual .

They didn’t even do it because they wanted to, they did it because there was back lash and people were pissed

 

[eltigre]

Took an L but it’s still #mambaforever so I’m rocking these today in his memory! They are so beat but idgaf because I still love this shoe!

 

[icientyouth]

Respect.

 

[wampa]

Respect.

Sounds like some in person thing due to covid restrictions being a factor. The real answer is just produce more shoes.

I can’t knock the hustle, but resellers are taking the fun out of the game. Then again, money always ruins everything.

When I read her post I had a theory that today was going to be an instant sellout.

Why? Because numerous posts talked about how production on the grinch 6 started in July. Remember, Nike didnt start selling Kobe products again in August which was Mamba week. They wouldnt of known or guessed how big of a demand there would be.

If these had a September production start Im sure it wouldve been a massive GR.

@ the title change

 

[Dem0n24]

Respect.

I feel like this means a handful of free giveaways...

Hope I'm wrong.

Right????
Not only that, for these kinda drops, if your first size is OOS then your odds of winning another size is already gone by then since you gotta wait 4-5 minutes for the results.

 

[D_eezus]

They encouraging resell without knowing it

 

[the red model]

They know it lol

 

[eltigre]

Grateful for the pairs that I have... Today.

Nike knows what it’s doing. It’s keeping the hype up. If they did a mass GR where pairs eventually hit the sales rack it’s not there anymore. They want these retros to keep humming. It just sucks because I would like 2-3 more pairs just to play ball in. And I ain’t paying resale for that. I’m just glad my coworker scored for me.

 

[ronaldo nazario]

Another L, Happy Holidays to me. This year has been trash.

 

[joex]

Now I’m just sitting here looking at my phone, checking every once and awhile to see if I have connection. Praying I get a call from SP raffle.

 

[dgoins1]

Looking for a 12 if anyone sees anything

They had a whole ****ing decade to anticipate that one of the most, if not THE most, iconic colorways of his entire sneaker line would have significant demand.

Kobe passed away a full 6 months prior to the production start on this shoe so that’s not a factor either. I don’t want to hear their excuses RN cause I’m hella pissed. Literally 9:00:05 and took a L

If your name isn't Kardashian/Jenner/Hadid, Vanessa ain't giving you ****

 

[imnotnew2this]

I’m so sick, struck out on SNKRS, FTL, Shoe palace and then the Undefeated Raffle

 

[D_eezus]

Cant wait to hoop in these!
