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

[grittyman]

Nike said y’all want more Kobe’s we gonna give y’all more Kobe’s … that absolutely no one wants

 

[Kobekobe]

venice beach were def popular here on NT

 

[Blue Mamba]

Yeah those were very popular at the time. Sold out everywhere

 

[cradiulf]

I love 'em personally. My pair is separating so I'm in.

 

[grittyman]

Mostly kidding…

They’re cool, but not my top choice of a colorway in that model. Give me the Mambacurials, BHM, All stars, What The, Pit Viper, etc before those… but maybe that’s just me.

 

[skaterplayer808]

Im in for a pair. Definitely better than the hospital triple white pair. They need to protro the what the, milk snake, and elite cw’s

 

[vnolab]

I think fugazi’s struggled to get the gradient right on Grinches …. So maybe these leaks are all fakes and the reals will have gradient

Sounds like a long shot to me tho lol

I think it's some real truth to that, the slew of images that just came out of nowhere after the announcement was crazy

Also the scales are off too—that upper definitely is not just a solid red

yoooo. noticed this yesterday as well.... his look almost like candy apple - esque

Right!!.... either that or a watermelon colorway....they better off calling these the "Red Mambas" or something....

They've basically been maintaining their bad habit of trying to plug an unwanted product of theirs.

Something that caught my eye in that IG post is how the box is different from the one shown in Nightwing's video on the 8 Protros.

Box shown in IG post is more like the ones used in previous Protros whereas Nightwing's box is the one from the Kobe 11.

 

[spiderjericho]

I liked the Venice Beach. Was a dope flip to the South Beach.

Definitely better colorways like the Purple Light, Sulfurs, etc.

wouldn't be surprised if he got fooled. there are fakes of these that could slip through ebay checks since the shoe hasn't even released yet.

Did he show the box label during the video. Could've just been an 11s box lol

 

[206to813]

NW was transparent that he bought them off eBay with authenticity guaranteed and questioned how could eBay authenticate them already lol

They can’t it’s a joke. Maybe they’re real maybe they’re not

How do the 6 protros fit?

 

[vnolab]

How do the 6 protros fit?

Half size up is recommended I think because of the insole

I actually wear mine without the insole true to size and they fit perfect (still very comfortable) but I also only wear them casually

 

[grittyman]

TTS for me... but pretty much all Kobes fit me the same.

YMMV I suppose

 

[illustrayt]

If they retro the Gradient Purples (not sure of their nickname), Milk Snakes or that Grey/Purple/Volt PE cw, I’m IN!

 

[Blackjesus-23]

NIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How about some Kobe PEs??? Amnesties, Achilles, Laker colorway 8s??????? where they at NIKE!!!!!!???? cmon man

 

[illustrayt]

An Easter retro 8 would be a top priority release for me! How’d I forget about those?!

 

[laced navajo]

Need a legit checked fellas.
