Protro - Performance Retro

Shoe looks like the original, however they cut weight by losing materials no longer needed and improved the air bag.

I still have my og pairs in great condition but I'll need this one too. It's cool that they made this one lighter.

Would’ve been dope if the Protro 1s had the flyknit treatment.

Retail better not cost $200! I’ll be ok with $150 or the OG MSRP of $130 back in the day.

don't rule that out just yet...

love this idea of performance retro, would be great if they apply the same philosophy to other nike bball and JB shoes.

Kobe always thinking ahead. This is a bad thing for me though. I'm getting sucked back into the game.

They also need ro release what everyone wants, the 81 point pair.

This and that black/patent/purple colorway he wore when he hung 58 on Charlotte

I’m conflicted on these. I loved the OG Kobe I as it was/is, but then tinkering with it irks me.

But damn, them improving the tech to ‘18 standards and subtracting some weight.....wow. I’m def gonna check them out.

$175 and full length zoom according to bleacher report.

 

[thapointguy]

I think the ASG colorway would be more fitting but I was always a fan of black/yellow colorways so must cop.

 

[werdudu]

can't wait till 4-5 and 8 will be released again

 

[The_Isomotion31]

In there. Been waiting for this to happen. Beat my originals to death!

I'm good unless they release the 81 point colorway.

 

[brian blades]

You guys think this is a one off or they’ll drop more CWs?

 

[Kobekobe]

Put these on nikeid!!

Not taking any chances

 

[VinMillerHearn58]

$175? Meh. I still have the same colorway.

Will use the Nike 30 day trial to determine the $175 price point

I honestly want to know the way people think. When these first dropped back in like 05-06, no one really cared. I’m not saying the black/maize sat but other colorways sat for a very long time. Why the sudden change? What makes these “fire” now compared to 2005-2006?

I love the shoes I still have the OG black/maize and black/purple colorway. I just want to know why? Nostalgia? Hype? The “me too” way of thinking? Just to cop and flip?

 

[1Cn9wL8dg3]

Leggo

 

[noblekane]

[VinMillerHearn58]

Release the all star colorway. Please.

I get what you're saying but what GR basketball shoes were selling out immediately in 2005/2006? For me, I love the idea of a retro style with new technology and I'm not sure why Nike hasn't really done this on a larger scale before. That's why I'm excited about this line. Not particularly for the 1s because I was never a huge fan but I think this is a great idea.
