Nike blew it on the Elite lows overall. Aside from the mambacurial 10 and maybe the christmas, the only good ones were the stupid-limited HTM pairs (were they HTM? now I can't remember)...racecars and shark jaws, etc.

I loved the Xs my fav Kobe, I think I got 5prs right now. Mambacurial, Rivals, Gold EXT, Black High EXT, and WTKX low conversion. I was stupid to skip out on all the ID, just freaking stupid

Anybody have any tips on getting shoes their grip back?
I have Kobe’s that I wanna hoop in but I’m constantly gripping the shoe

Double entendre with the 6s. The Mavs swept the Lakers the year of that shoe on the way to the championship. Last time we truly got prime Kobe playoff basketball.

The last image in my mind of prime Kobe in the playoffs in VI's was the way he hung his head after Andrew Bynum hard-fouled (flagrant?) JJ Barea. Later he said you gotta win like a champion and you gotta lose like a champion.

I thought the soles of the VIs were hard to keep clean and the shoe was too streamlined to wear with bootcut jeans in 2011. Regret selling them now.
 
In 2012 Kobe was still pretty much on fire in the playoffs as well, averaging 30 points plus decent rebound and assist numbers. His last playoff game ever, which came against OKC in game 5 he had 42 points and if his teammates would have helped him more, I still believe that the Lakers could have pulled it off and who knows if they would have made it to the finals?

If Kobe would have just listened to his body a bit more during 2012-2013 he would have not torn his achilles and played in the 2013 playoffs and I believe they would have been a problem for the Spurs then!

Of course all irreverible theory here!
 
Just found these in my brothers garage. Except for the tear up front its still in pretty decent condition. Hopefully I can fix it and clean it up.
BHMs just a little dirty.

I have a pair of IX navy/white TBs that I got at Ross for $55 that didn’t look great anymore, even after giving them a thorough cleaning. Started customizing them awhile back and now I’ve finished the job. Will be hooped in soon :pimp:

That they were. It was impressive as the Mavericks were unstoppable that playoff run plowing through everyone including the garbage *** heat. My favorite cw next to the Barcelona's i was never able to acquire.
