did nike scale back on production for the protro 5's more than the protro 1's or 4's? It feels like that lol

If they did, you can blame the consumers who let the 1s and 4s sit and go on sale for that

usually a 4-6 month lead time for production and distribution. that doesn't take into consideration sourcing materials etc. in a normal year i'd think they would have time to produce more, but with COVID i'm sure it's impacted supply and manufacturing. its not as if they have a ton of manufacturing capacity available, adding something has a domino effect on other releases as well. not as straightforward as it might seem.

SNKRS pair arrived. I think a black sole would look so much better.

That’s a very good point. We let 1s and 4s hit outlets. Nike could’ve just scaled back production because they didn’t think we’d be buying. The 5s were all produced prior to his passing.
Of course they could’ve went back and increased the number of pairs after his passing, but that’s not like Nike.

Kobes have always sat and gone to sales/outlets though. Can't blame that on it.

This is false. Several colorways of the 8s and 9s never sat long enough to be discounted

How the **** does a raffle bot even work? Don't you need to have a load of different e-mails and addresses? Or is that just proof that raffles don't check for duplicates?

several colorways of all his shoes never sat. but there have always been a portion of his shoes that had. I myself went all in on the 8s. It brought me back to the line. I personally didnt go after 6's and 7s.

the gist of it is the raffle bots, you make a master email account and it generates tons of emails that all link back to the main email. The raffle bots also help you jig your name and addresses so everything is unique. Unless these companies are sifting thru every entry manually (highly doubt that), they are not going to be able to catch most of these extra entries or maybe they just don't care to catch them. The raffle bots also provide the option of entering raffles with proxies so that each entry doesn't come from the same IP address, so again, the shop's "bot deterrence" can't filter out the extra entries from the same IP.

Damn, that's pretty smart with the master e-mail. And I just realized people who live in houses can just add a unit # to the end of their address and it'll be unique. For example somebody who lives in 123 Fake Street can just put 123 Fake Street, #(AAA-ZZZ). Combine that with the generated e-mails and you have a ****load of entries
The game is ****ed.

I'm not 100% sure but they probably can add that extra part to your entry to submit. Thats why the longer the raffle is open, the more time it gives bots to push an update to add the question and answer to their bot to submit entries. CNCPTS and Undftd adds questions to answer to submit raffle, yet the bots are still winning on UNDFTD and CNCPTS

That's false. I've collected kobes since day 1. 2005 kobe 1 black yellow. I didn't pick up a lot of the protros on release date for full price because I was waiting for them to hit outlets which they did.

a lot of GR cw kobes sat and hit discount if it didn't hit outlets. I bought the original chaos pair for under $100 from footlocker.
even most of the models from 4-11, a lot of GR colorways hit outlets. I bought the ASG XI's at an outlet and that was the last outlet kobe I purchased. Its the limited stuff that I always paid retail for as soon as it released.

Jersey came in. I want to put the KB patch on, but I’m not sure if I should iron it on or stitch it on.

Do it right and stitch it.
The iron on one will get toasted with multiple washes.
