I can't lie, the 2ks are dope, but nothing beats the nostalgia and association the OG colorway chaos has with Kobe wearing them on xmas. Maybe it's personal preference but certain sneakers hold a place with me when they been worn by the player.

2K’s look great in hand. Can’t wait for Chaos to come in. I’m no longer upset over missing them back in 09

4th in line at my local HOH this morning and sold out in my size 9. Dude in front of me got the only pair I’m guessing. Everything worked out cuz i grabbed the 9.5 and they fit better for me with a little extra room.

Anyone gonna protect the shozoku logo on the bottom of shoes so it doesn't fade? Wanna do to mine but gonna have to buy the sole protector stuff. Clear tape would be cheap but also tacky lol I think it would peel the paint off too. Will the sole protector thing do it as well? Or just leave it and let it fade naturally?

They asked him if he went half size up ?
Yeah bro. They also let him know Doncic Kong from Niketalk was wondering if he played 2K for those. Crazy moment in that interview.

Tried my luck in Europe and FL (both online) but just had no luck. Hope the resellers don't charge and arm and leg for those wanting to pay more than retail.
Guess i'll settle for the 34's instead smh lol

Sorry to hear that a bunch of NTers had trouble copping these. I personally had the opposite experience, but it may have been because I'm a size 14.
I ended up pulling an all-nighter so before I crashed, I sat with SNKRS on my phone and FTL on the PC. Added to cart on FTL and placed my order at 10am on SNKRS. Got 'Em after about 30 seconds and emptied my FTL cart, as my double-up days are over. If I hadn't been so tired I would have thought to check NT and try to help someone out

Didn't get these, but I guess it's for the best. Not gonna break my rule of: No more day 1 performance basketball sneaker cops.
Too many basketball kicks in rotation and not enough time to beat them all up.
Only pairs I'm breaking that rule for is the Protro Kobe 6 Grinches and maybe Protro Kobe 9 Beethovens if we ever get them.

Prices seem to be about $40-$60 more than retail right now. I bet they drop in the coming weeks.

Once the online orders roll in then they should get lower

Son. You really think we’re getting two of the rarest Kobe’s ever released as Protros?
I wouldn’t doubt it at all if we get the Grinches at some point down the line. But you might as well buy some Beethovens off eBay cause that ain’t happening.

I just loved how low to the ground the “og” pair felt. Wonder how these compare.

Can't wait to move back to Colorado. Flatirons was just a mile away and not much competition for grabbing Kobes and Js.

Damn, I don't think they compare. The Jordan 34s are my go-to right now.
I think these will be great too but they'll require some break in time for the upper.
