NIKE Kobe VIII PROTRO - 2023

[brucefan74]

iwilwin do the lakers home and aways have lesser inventory than the others? If thats the case, I'll need to enter more draws at DSG from my other account.

 

[iwilwin]

^^ 12 pairs each

 

[brucefan74]

Wow. According to DSG app, only one location will have the red and navy pairs for pick up. The rest have multiple locations in LA. I live in SD and NONE are getting them.

 

[g-time]

Only three stores in Houston getting a few of the colorways.

 

[spiderjericho]

From the last few posts, I can expect shenanigans lol.

No Hibbett or DSG have them nearby. So it’s DSG online and SNKRS okie doke.

Sizing wise, the VIII protro definitely fits snug compared to other VIIIs (FTB in my case). For casual wear, I would advise going up .5 size.

FTL raffle up

 

[Mr_Unbiased]

Wonder how easy these will actually be to get. Not trying to enter a bunch of raffles and hit on multiple pairs of every colorway. Stock is big but is it that big?

Gigi restocked in LA area last week, size 8 sitting

Dang still need those, both 4s and 8s.

Man those Laker homes start at size 9 on the ftl app? Oh boy. No ftl in SD either.

I’m in for Navy TB, man, even not many DSG have those, only 1 around me

 

[laced navajo]

hopefully these 8 sit. Especially the GS sizes

I’d sure love the grey pair for the 2-3 times I might hoop
This winter


Of course even a basic grey shoe is going to sell out somehow

Didn’t see DSG was doing in app raffle

Entered for grey and navy. Hope I don’t hit on both

 

[skaterplayer808]

Dumped all my remaining points on FTL for the hollywoods. That's the main color I want out of the collection. Wouldn't be mad if I hit navy's too I guess

 

[ap24]

Entered for Lakers Away on DSG to hoop in. Haven’t been able to hit on any protro 8s since they were released. Would’ve grabbed the VB on secondary market (since they seem be less sought after), but promised my girl and myself that I was done with resale.

Let the actual hoopers have these, nobody should have to pay over retail for these and to me these are way too plain.

There’s hardly any profit to be made in Kobe’s anymore.. the resellers are slowly leaving.

Even if you gotta pay extra it will be $50 max

 

[toneloc2002]

Use 50 boosts between the home and away’sonly ones I want

 

[jaynev]

Don’t see any demand for these at all

Way overpriced for what u getting performance wise

For me personally, I wouldn't size up. They're slightly tighter than the OGs but sizing up would make them too long IMO. The Venice Beaches feel fine to me TTS as long as I don't lace them up tightly or wear thick socks.

There was some documentation somewhere saying they'd added cushioning, right?

This isn't true. There wasn't demand for some all white kicks that are hard to wear.

and especially when it comes to sizing, since a lot of people are going to hoop in them.

They just removed the lunarlon and replaced it with react.
