Cancel culture....not a fan.
Given the way Nike has been taking customers for granted, and also how they turned the Kobe line into a complete sh*tshow...
I could definitely get behind a mass canceling of the swoosh.

We need some other brand to knock some sense back into Nike like Adidas did in 2015-16. I think Puma and New Balance have the potential.

I think what’s different from 2015-16 is Nike was actually *** back then while adidas was killing it. Nike had the audacity to put out $180 Kobe 10s with fuse uppers, other shoes with stick of gum zoom units in hard-as-rock foam, and translucent outsoles that worked inconsistently.
Nowadays, aside from Kobe line supply issues, the Nike models you can get are all pretty solid.

I haven’t posted in here in forever. And it’s occurred to me that Nike’s horrendous handling of this line has made me stop even caring or thirsting for Kobes. And I say that as a massive Kobe and Kobe shoe fan. It helps that I still have a fair number of pairs for sure. And if a pair eventually comes back that I want, I’m sure I’ll try to get it. But after all this time without being able to get anything, it doesn’t seem to matter as much to me anymore.
And that’s a shame, really. Way to go, Nike

Yep that's why some people don't even mind reps anymore. And the reps are so good that I wouldn't even buy for resale because I would prob get a rep pair for all I know.I haven’t posted in here in forever.

This popped up on my ig. Looks like a couple tiny sizes for sale lol. Made me wonder if these are the stock from 2016…. I googled them and yeah nothing else out there, besides Goat… so I guess it’s from 2016. Wonder if they’re just like the 6?

For those that don’t know these were supposedly a volleyball shoe
Nike Air Zoom Hyperattack (Multiple Colors)
Nike Flywire technology and a tough outer shell provide a durable upper, while the Phylon-foam midsole offers ultra-lightweight cushioning and comfort.

They did this to a few bball models, most notably the Hyperdunk series. The 2017 HD lows became the Hyperset and the 2011s(?) became the Hyperspike (pic below)This popped up on my ig.

Daughter played volleyball until freshman year in HS. Caught off guard with these because they came out a few years later.

Interestingly the Kyrie infinity is easily the most common shoe with girls volleyball this year. Kyries always were common but for some reason the Infinity took over

Word probably got out at the camps and travel clubs. Supposedly it’s the Infinity, KD 15s and Lebron XXs that are among the most popular. I have yet to see one JB product on the courts either.Nice

My girls currently are in travel seasons and I can’t remember seeing any kd15s, definitely no Lebrons. Most teams have several infinities though. I think half of our team is in em.

We watch our niece play who wears KDs. One team had a mix, another had all Lebrons. Caught a few Grinch 6s on court too.

It was never this year. It was fall 2021 but then the deal was scrapped. And they haven't been spoken of since

Unfortunately that generates clicks. Selling the shoe to people that actually care about the brand doesn’t.
