Nike Zoom Kobe V PROTRO - Dec 2019

[Kim Fatty the Third]

Pulled the trigger on OG BL’s. I should’ve just grabbed them a few weeks ago.

 

[trackrunner221]

Before you opt for stockx, I would try locally. I’m sure someone would be willing to sell for $300.

those fees are killer

 

[Scat-Pack78]

Was on my wife’s Nike account all day and finally switched over to mine 6 hours later to my surprise I got exclusive access to the Kobe grinches. Of course they were sold out in my size. The one time I have a chance to get some Kobe’s for retail I missed out. Not going to lie this L hurts bad I would’ve rather taken an L on release day than knowing I had access and didn’t get them.

 

[Bert.]

I been looking man, ebay they're expensive, no one selling locally either

prices starting to go up on OG Bruce Lee, might pull trigger next day or two

 

[urn0tlike]

Its def a gamble to keep waiting. You could get lucky and catch another price drop from stockX seller fee sale or maybe another drop during nba all star weekend but it might just be a steady increase here on out.

 

[skaterplayer808]

Might have to off my spare bruce lee for a grinch if I strike out. Cash added as necessary but hopefully not too much 1-2 weeks after release. May just end up being my first purchase in 2021 if I miss out on RD

 

[spoonmanofthehour]

Just checking in to see if GrizzlyAnimal bought his Bruce Lee’s yet.

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

Are you ready ?

 

[spoonmanofthehour]

Are you ready ?

I’ve moved on to the Grinches.

did some lace swaps with the OGs, Alts and Del Sols. i think black looks the best on the OGs and Alts. toss up between the white and del sol laces on the Del Sols. but both are better than the speckled white laces.

still need eybls, big stage and 5x champ not willing to go above $300 so i might just be moving onto the 6s.

Black laces on del sols are

You should just move your double ups to trade for the ones you're missing. That's what I'd do anyway if I was missing a few 5's that I wanted. Maybe even make the other guy add cash on top depending if it was for the OG bruce lee

 

[Sharpshoeter13]

Still need to find a pair of black laces for my BLs. Got a pair of unused laces from my OG UBs but it isn’t long enough

literally what i did too for my lace swap

 

[zoomin6]

Well I did it, bought a pair of Bruce Lee’s of SX this morning. If prices stay around $300 I’ll pickup another pair next year.

OG BLs were one of my grails so i had to double up. i paid resale for them so im already a little behind on a potential trade.

I respect it. I picked up a second pair of the OG BLs so I totally get it. I think I'd off mine for a grinch trade though. Assuming I strike out on that. Or who knows, maybe fork over the cash depending on the price. A good chunk of my Kobe V collection is paid via resell so I know where you're coming from.

 

[theekid23]

should’ve got a local pair for $260 when i had a chance.. now it’s steadily climbing back up.

NOT GIVING UP THOUGH!

 

[po2345]

So what sizes do BL retro owners recommend? 0.5 up? Full size up?

which local groups/places would you recommend?

 

[tigo0240]

TTS is pefect 1:1 for me, but I would recommend half up.

Don't go a full size up. They'll "fit" but very sloppy and not what the V is about.

.5 size up for casual wear

 

[urn0tlike]

Def .5 sz up for casual and even for ball if you wear elite socks.

i had OG grinch’s and sold em. it was the easiest cop ever. back then, eastbay would let you do phone orders on RD. all you had to do was call when they went live and if it was busy just keep calling back. miss those days haha.

never had BLs before and though i like grinch’s, it’s always been BLs > grinch’s and V > VI for me.
