I know I posted this pick up not too long ago. Broke them out again yesterday. For a while I kinda regretted it because I spent a lot on them and was thinking of selling them. So glad I didn’t. I would of never had the chance to own the again. I still can’t believe he’s gone.

This is the closest I ever got to him. sat 2nd row right behind the lakers bench during a pre-season game. I took so many pics and was excited to see them when I got home. Then I realized my camera was messed up and every pic came out blurry. I was so damn pissed. I’m just glad I got that experience at least. It’s so surreal seeing him up close.

WOW that's nice : )

thanks man for the added info/details

 

[itsonlyright]

Threw these on today. One of my favorite pairs. With those dumb *** resale prices looks like my collection is going to have to last for awhile. I unds my 60 point game ids on sunday. That was the last deadstock pair that I had.

Problem:
resellers, the bad look by selling his shoes right now for profit, giving fans what they want to help them grieve.

Solution: flood nike.com with kobes and donate the profits to KVBFF

If it takes up the entire fall /winter release schedule then so be it. As far as i know the F/W drops are a mystery to us anyway. Do the whole site, just kobes. It might be too extreme but this loss is unprecedented in the life span of nike inc. There are wrong moves but inaction is the worst. Do something.

I mean I would definitely wear them. Just don’t sell them unless you’re really strapped for cash at some point.

I was going to get those last week for just under retail. They’re probably 3 million US Dollars now.

Wear your shoes.

 

[theregothatman]

Wear your shoes.

Nah these going straight to the man cave next to his jersey. I always told people from day one this is a Kobe house! Don’t come in here with that Bron or MJ talk

Hey I can’t be mad at that.

 

[donotreadthis]

This isn't footwear, but I still have these from the early 2000s. I always wanted to get one of them framed, but never thought it would be under these circumstances.

I found them on eBay in my size awhile back. Best Kobe 2

#RIP #MAMBA I'm a YOTS baby so these YOTS 8s will forever be in my collection.

 

[kvu27]

Still feels unreal...

 

[jiffyl00b]

Posted this in the Lakers thread but whatever.

Man, I forgot about the Air Force 25 commercial. I listened to this Juelz joint before every game my senior year in HS. I even bought the shoes.

Don't know why, but seeing Paul Pierce on The Jump reminded me of this.





I drove thru downtown last night and just seeing everything lit in purple and gold and seeing Kob's name and face everywhere...still surreal
