NIKE KOBE VI PROTRO - 2021

[vinnuendo]

Unless the brand states or confirms how many pairs released, or the shoes are numbered, there is no way of being certain how many pairs were made. Even so, numbered shoes tend to have separate allocations in the sample/production stages and for f&f

Numbers pulled from monitors mean nothing

saw sz 13 on ebay for 575. I bit. might be the lowest I see them for.

Probably

I’m tryin to be done giving resellers and the apps my $. I can live without em, what I got is plenty

Yeah numbered shoes are always false too. You have several b grades that hit outlets or other stores and other things. For instance the Kobe V Da Vinci, supposedly only 17 pairs but people found them in larger sizes at Ross. Hell I had 2 myself, you mean to tell me I almost had 12% of them? Not a chance in hell

I just got my pair in and man the quality on these is terrible. I can definitely see these being justified at $130 back in 2010. I’m upset I paid $209 for these and to think people are buying for around $500-$700 for a size 12 and for hoop? Definitely not worth it.

Sell them then

A lot of people have promoted reps of Kobe's in the last 2 years.. they're apparently "solid" compared to the real thing and sometimes better with added tech. I know a few people that ball in reps and openly say they're reps. Don't have a problem with that personally when they're artificially limiting the supply. Nike and other companies could easily wipe out the reseller market overnight but they choose not to. This is on them and not these "influencers" IMO..

I’ll take them for Retail! I’ll pay for shipping

 

[aceofjays]

Are there folks(non professional athletes) paying that much to hoop in them?!

If they wiped out the reseller market none of you would be paying retail for sneakers. You dudes really need to either buy or don't buy and move on.

 

[kilroythedon]

Y’all still crying.. pay resell.

 

[vinotwofour]

wipe out the fakes and reps, idc.

wiping out resellers is basically wiping yourself lol, its part of the sneaker game.

 

[cedric ceballos]

In an ideal world they would be readily available. But if you really want them, is paying resell really the end of the world?

A lot of people in these threads are getting a lot of their purchases throughout the year for less than retail, not just sneakers, but other purchases as well. Between promo codes, cash back apps, sales etc. The majority of purchases are less rush

reps will be around forever, nike ain't stopping anyone in china from producing reps.

resellers are already starting to feel it in general. hype has died down on most sneakers, not as much money to go around with how poor the economy is, etc.

Shout out Vanessa for letting me hit on SNKRS. RIP Goat

Nah I guarantee after 2 hoop sessions they’ll be detaching sole issues

Didn’t realize until this photo they went with more of the apple green laces. Thought they’d be volt like the regular.

Same. Definitely different greens but I’ll swap for the red since I haven’t used them yet!

Even more of a reason to go red. I was gonna do it anyway but interested to see volt in them now. The Shozoku is volt right?

For me it’s nostalgia. My most memorable years playing ball at my highest level were 2009-2013 playing in kobe 4-6s. The 5s are my favorite basketball shoe ever to actually play in.

Glad the retros are coming just wish the volume was higher. I was able to score the 2020 grinch retros too as my coworker hit for me and are my favorite pair I have now. But as we talked about before, my basketball playing days are over because of the knees. Being washed sucks because I miss it.

Damn, are you me? 4-6 are the GOATs in the Kobe line for me.

Thankfully I’m still able to hoop and that’s all I want Kobes for: to go 2-5 for 5/6 points in my rec league.
