second one was terrible, i actually like the first one, they were super sleek and futuristic at the time, i got the retro for like $25 about 2 years ago and i wish they removes some padding because they do feel clunky these days

i am not sure about the 4d sole but they did try to make some casual version and called 'em adv or something

I was never a fan, especially back when the came out. Yeah it did look futuristic but i believe it was the deciding factor for kobe to leave for nike.

nah i think the 2s were what made him bounce, but 20yrs later adidas has not really repeated that mistake or well design style

Those were terrible when they launched and are still terrible. I remember people saying the silver ones looked like toasters. Adding boost wouldn't save them...

i am not sure if it was the rape case but it seemed like kobe wanted to wear nikes and once his contract was up he just wanted to move(?) but i am not 100% sure on that
but if it was any shoe it was the kobe2, the follow up which was a big wtf of a shoe
the commercial was pretty sick though

one of my all time favorite shoes. the fact that it went from sketch to production is beyond me. for a top athlete to have a shoe that looks like that is unbelievable. still have a DS pair that will never leave my collection.
then you have the Kobe 3 samples...

Hmm even adidas skateboarding implementing boost into their footwear better than adidas basketball.

Sounds good!!Picked these up earlier today...
Reminds me of the Harden Vol.3’s, maybe a little more padding/better fit in the ankle area. Will probably break em out later this week to see how they perform on the court.

The collar of the marque low is such an eye sore. Shoe is otherwise a very nice shape. In person, especially the mids/highs, it looks like a mistake
