React is an upgrade to Lunarlon. The only protro that wasn’t an upgrade is the 4. Maybe the 5 and 6 if you consider the removal of the heel zoom. We were spoiled by the protro 1 and now people complain when there is no full length zoom.kind of valid though considering protro is supposed to be an upgrade
The react has been more firm, has also made the 8s feel like they fit much tighter/more snug. Slightly heavier as well. Not to mention they eliminated the layer of cushion that was under the lunarlon and the knit isn’t as thick as the OG.React is an upgrade to Lunarlon. The only protro that wasn’t an upgrade is the 4.

Protro was only supposed to mean current tech in old product design, and I feel like it means just about as much as the "Pro", "Air", or "Ultra" marketing jargon in tech nowadays. Nike has been doing this since the Elite line (which is funny since now we have Elite and non-elite protros). Elite models were supposed to be upgraded models for the postseason, but down the line we were arguably inferior models with a higher price tag.This line re releasing was supposed to be a Protro version. Protro was supposed to mean upgrades but same looks. When you are getting a version that was basically the same as the originals, with insignificant, arguably inferior changes, then it is not Protro, but instead a "Retro". That was his point, which is legit since you are also paying more. Funny how a lot of people do not get that basic point. Shows how the level of comprehension of some is at nowadays.
And they have failed to do that.When Kobe first introduced the Protro concept with Nike it was about retroing past sigs with improved tech. That is what Kobe said he wanted for his line.
And they have failed to do that.
There are Retros of past models but have yet to see a legitimate Protro.
Full length Lunarlon, low profile with a slight squish, but not bouncy like zoom or boost.For those who had the elite high masterpiece’s, how was the comfort? Was it responsive cushioning, or more of a squishy firm feeling underneath your foot?
None of the 9s had full length zoom or even a zoom bag including the iD. 11 iD gave the option of a full length zoom bag in the drop in mid sole..They pretty much stopped with the 5 and 6
What's funny is the 8 elite came with zoom in the heel and forefoot and the 9 ID came with full length zoom
and the Zion 3 which is Kobe 8 like comes with zoom in the forefoot, and the strap comes with full length

Your legs get hot. Like I said before, everything above the ankle bone doesn’t do anything.What's it like playing in Kobe 9 Highs? I haven't played in highs in a minute and don't think I'll ever go back to them after using lows but the Kobe 9s are like extra high. Does it affect mobility or make you feel slower??
