THE OFFICIAL NIKE KOBE FOOTWEAR THREAD: RIP LEGEND 1978-2020. MAMBA FOREVER | 8-24-24

[sdsualum]

Im in for the burgundy dunks. Love the colorway and the details.

 

[SayPokeGai]

So shameless attaching Kobe's name to so many pairs

I don't understand the Kobe Dunks at all.

For years all I heard was "Nike where are the Kobe's"

Now you're getting more Kobe's that you could dream of.

Just don't buy them

 

[nice jahb]

Kobe competed in a high school Dunk exhibition and won an NBA dunk contest in the year he was drafted.

I’m just reaching for some bull for Nike. They should hire me for the spin work I just did.

 

[green210]

Any recommendations on insoles for the 3 lows? Went with my TTS and there is just a little too much room

 

[ap24]

As long as they keep giving us actual Kobe’s, I’m fine with it. I probably won’t buy and of the AF1s, dunks, or slides. Maybe if the colorway was right.

 

[blacklion23]

Both the Lower Merion, and the Draft Day Dunks are cool. The soft yellow AF1 is worth coppin, the others not so much. They just need to drop the AF1s he wore at Rucker.

Man, not Kobe Dunks and AF1s though!!!
Nike trolling.

Is that dunk low “protro’d” with an SB tongue? I’m assuming with all the Kobes that’s had the protro treatment I should half size up for these like I do with all SB dunks.

The "Protro" changes they made are outlined in SNKRS. Tongue and drop-in cushioning setup are the changes as far as comfort. Snakeskin midsole and sheaths on the outsole are aesthetic changes.

Damn, haven't tried mine on yet, hope they run TTS. I tried on the Halo 3 highs and they felt TTS.

 

[Bert.]

Just give us actual Kobe’s

OG colors way too

Not understanding these garbage color ways especially the 3 lows

Nike is so out of touch especially if we’re talking Kobe line. Go back to the OG color ways and call it a ******* day

 

[gwizzle]

Just drop em on Nike by you

Problem solved

 

[johnnyp2k12]

at least we are not getting "unreleased 6 highs"

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

I like that 3 low

 

[jerseysauce]

There will always be a complaint. Too many “OG” colorways and not enough new creative colorways or vice versa. Completely new colorways become classics over time otherwise you have the same staple colorways on every model.

Makes me chuckle because what og colorways should there be on a “new” lowtop III given there was never a low top 3 until now?

Anyway, I’m a fan of the pink quartz!

3 lows hard

 

[nice jahb]

3 lows hard

They are.

They have one size 12 left at Nike Chicago but I’m doing a “No-buy” 2026.

For some reason, these 3's and the 6's are the only shoes I prefer to use without insoles. But I will say these are the first shoes where I can tell my right foot is a little longer than my left

 

[vettez06]

Man, not Kobe Dunks and AF1s though!!!
Nike trolling.

Even though I said what I said, I do agree with you guys 100%

 

[Bert.]

3 lows hard

Hard? Sure for a ****** model the original 3s were

like I said maybe I’m old school, these new color ways they’re coming out with for most these Kobe’s are absolutely trash

Obviously agree or disagree doesn’t matter. My opinion, the grinches were loud enough and worked but some of this other stuff is junk just like wasting time and money making Kobe V with a ******* snake stitched on the side or whatever garbage that was

Yeah the snake stitching is kind of wack

I still want that all black pair though

 

[ap24]

I agree with a lot of the criticisms of how Nike has handled the Kobe line since his passing.

That said, the Gen Z kids running things over there don’t care. This is how they see us…

 

[DSW]

I been on em but no spots by me had em

What size?

 

[green210]

Damn, haven't tried mine on yet, hope they run TTS. I tried on the Halo 3 highs and they felt TTS.

Id say they do. Half size down was way too tight, TTS fits pretty well but just a little more room than id like but they'll work
