Nike Zoom Kobe IV PROTRO (MORE IN 2023!!)

[Declan]

The sad fact is the 4s look way better with a less shiney upper and nike has given us literally all shiney uppers thus far.

That is an excellent retro, nothing more.

 

[anhhuy88]

These are super light weight.

 

[ballyeaz]

Love the shiny uppers

 

[Geats]

I didn't remember them being that shiny either but I never had the OG Carpe Diems in hand. Man, I know they screwed up the protro but the retro is dope lol.

The glossy snake skin material loses its shimmer over time.

This.

My DS OG pair has dulled over time as well.

My pair came in today, and outside of the lunarlon being gone, these are 99% identical to the original.

At least they made them the same. No lighter or darker shades.

 

[Declan]

You'd think for $175 and to flz nike would at least throw in another lace option.

carpe diem growing on me

Nike is so cheap and lazy sometimes.

I remember buying a pair of Adidas basketball shoes about five years ago (Crazy Light? Crazy something), and it came with 6 pairs of laces. SIX.

There is a size 9.5 POP at the Great Mall Milpitas Nike hash wall for anyone local. Half size big or would have been mine lol. There is a 7.5 too.

My package from DSG got sent back to sender because of a wrong address. I went on the chat and told them my problem and I told them I want another pair sent to me because I had a 20% discount and the chat person said they would give me an additional 10% discount for my inconvenience and a free 1 day shipping code. I said well ok I guess. I asked them just to be clear "So I'm getting a 30% discount and free 1 day ship?". He said yes that is correct. I said ok. I hope I get a nice pair because I was able to get them for $122.49 before tax and $134.13 after tax. Let's see what happens. DSG has excellent customer service.

Was just there. My son was so happy to see his size. Too bad there wasnt a 9 for me.

How do you guys feel about the sole discoloration on the CD.
Looks like that blue ages bad. Is there a way to prevent that?

 

[Declan]

Keep getting compliments on my CDs.

Honestly I think they look better when they discolor.

So when are we gonna see you in AEW?

Sole protectors

What a great year! I'm watching that 2008-2009 season video now on Amazon Prime! It's so weird how long ago that season was and it doesn't even feel like it was that long ago.

My CD 4s were supposed to land at my office today from DSG but the address was wrong and I had to call the post office and now they aren't getting delivered until tomorrow. Oh well. I'll be here.

That it was, the Lebron faceoff in Carpe Diems that grueling seven game series in the Delsols vs the Rockets? Great memories indeed. Really would like Nike to drop us the Finals but the way these are sitting i cant see them seeing a good reason to invest the time and resources but who knows.

Nothing some Sole Bright cant handle, also imo Nike has done something with the rubber the last couple years where the clear/translucent soles have held up really well over years. In the end all material breaks down at some point, could convert to being a Jordan head they get a retro of the same damn shoe eight times over a five year period. Appreciate them while we can, wear em to the movies...the gym...next date...family BBQ...Royal Rumble anywhere but sitting in a box collecting dust.

I do get worried seeing retros sit sometimes. It also seems Nike mostly gave up on Kobes clothing line

I wish I could get this hoodie. I never bought it because I thought it was too expensive, but I would buy 2 of them now if I had the chance. Kobe had the best hoodies.

 

[xbiker47]

need to grab a pair of those carpe diems

 

[tigo0240]

I just saw an older Kobe hoodie I wish I had bought a couple years back. Same thing as 888sneakerst said...thought it was too pricey so I never copped.
