I heard Kustoo posted a mini review after playing in them and said they feel really nice. If I can get a pair, this morning, I'll be hooping in them either tonight or tomorrow.

whats the sizing like on these TTS or .5 up ???????

 

[mindmarathon]

Business has just picked up! February going to kill my pockets at this rate.

This. FML. Just got a new job and i wont notice the raise because i'll be continuosly copping more Kobe's

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

LOL sucked back in? I never left and still going to be hurting

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

hell yea and the Kobe 4 60 point game, but im getting to ahead of myself. One day, one model at a time

Anyone rockin ZK1’s casually? I can’t see it

Shiddd I rock all my Kobe's casually. To each his/her own.

i wear em casually... the fuq... who balling in ZK1s with so many better options today?

Well, you know they did update the tech on these so to say there are better options, these are updated bruh

if the -tro is from retro, are you sure it's not "pro" as in professional? With what you're saying, shouldn't it be pertro?

Exactly my thoughts but oh well

Still have mine DS. That I got 2 years ago

So clean. I need!!

man i haven't been into kobe's in a min. if they ever retroed the dark knight and chaos v's.
COUNT ME IN.

Everyone has their faves lol

Yes! Staying true to the aesthetics and updating the materials. Imagine if they did this with a Jordan 3. Kobe is THE man for this.

Heck yea i 2nd that

Should've made the toe guard black Too much branding around the heel No orange laces?
Elbows too pointy

LOL died at the elbows too pointy

Haven’t worn these in awhile. Nostalgia kickin in this week so brought em out. The V's are still my favorite ball shoe to play in. What would they do if they "protro"-d em? More flexible upper?

let's hope they can make a way where they wont bend and that mold stay in that bent manner, at the top by the ankle like the 5's have been notorious for. That would be the only improvement I would ask for as the V's were solid.

TTS

 

[agrizzly21]

My whites just arrived, agree with TTS. I’m a 9.5 in Kobe 5 and these as well. Posting pics and my on court review in the other thread.

 

[mastralf]

Are there anymore Kobe 1 protro’s coming out or was that it?

There will definitely be more but it's a matter of when

 

[ballyeaz]

need new kobe 8's for balling....anybody know if the FTB 8's have the same specs as the old ones?

 

[cgs37]

Grail pickup off GOAT. Used but in great condition for $120 shipped.

 

[bestintheworld]

^those are awesome! I hope they retro the 4s or the 5s next. In no way shape or form am in the know by any means, but to me the next logical release would be the 4 because it was such an iconic transition for his sig.

 

[thatboydrew]

wore my chaos V today, made me wonder if they will put some react foam in future protro models

 

[buddhashark]

Played in some 6s the past two weeks. No need to protro those. Perfect just the way they are.

 

[MVP]

These are pretty much DS. Feel like I got a steal at $300

do you at least wear them?

 

[xxpizzo]

Prelude 5s are my Rainy day kicks

love theses things man.

 

[mindmarathon]

Someone once said:

"if you cop Kobe's to collect but not wear, then you're really planning on reselling at a later date, which means you're not a collector but a reseller."
Is this true? Chime in on your thoughts about this.

 

[truth2truth]

I have over 150 pairs of kobe. I plan to wear them later down the road. Not planning to resell.

 

[MVP]

do you at least wear them?

Haven't got a chance to wear the 3s yet but I'm wearing them to the Laker game tomorrow night. Wore the 5s to the game vs the Heat a few weeks ago. I have worn all my kicks except the FTB XIs which will stay on ice until i have spaceto display them.
