My experience as well...but if they "protro" the cushioning I may be willing to revisit this ranking.

Went straight to voicemail. He's on vacation. He'll be back after the New Years. Press release will come out with info a few days before the release. Stay tuned!

Chaos will sit fsho. Kids hate Kobe. They don’t know. No young generation dude wants to watch non-HD footage so the YouTube highlights of his prime have low view count. Kobe fans all 25+ and getting old in the knees and joints from partying and slowly being less disciplined w the diet. Aside from the one hoop sesh per week, balling is mostly for cardio/friendship. So who is gonna drop $180 for a performance shoe that is outdated. No one. Only Kobe fans. Well if the 81points sat then ..

Sneaker free agent, he wears what he feels like. Unless I missed info on his next step to seal a deal with a brand.

I thought that might be the case, I saw a pic of him wearing a pair of Curry UA
The caption said he was signing with UA....

Still a free agent. He's been wearing Kobes and Currys. Sometimes in the same game. But I highly doubt he goes to UA. They're flagging right now. Nike's probably the best bet if we're going off shoes he's worn.

Bryant coined the term "protro," a hybrid aiming to represent a pro-level retro sneaker that could be worn not only by consumers off the court, but by today's players during NBA games. The brand has added in a few under-the-hood enhancements with today's manufacturing techniques, making it a more reasonable option for NBA players than traditional retro sneakers that continue to use 20-year-old technology.
The decade-old sneaker NBA players can't stop wearing
Kobe Bryant retired three years ago, but he's still omnipresent on the feet of players on every team in the NBA.www.espn.com
So they didn't do anything different with this shoe, yet NBA players supposedly cannot stop wearing them? They are still calling it a protro, even though nothing has changed? Okay. This article is nothing but Nike trying to regain energy behind this sig line, because it really does not have much interest.

those Js are horrible. Clown shoes. Borderline sacrilege to post in a Kobe IV thread.

Oh I didn't realize they only released the mids. They didn't seem to have enough cushion for me to be interested. I think I saw Tatum and one other player in them.

Yes during the FIBA USA time Tatum for sure before the 34’s announced., Blake griffin too. But those were the mids. And agreed they’ve gotten great reviews
