Nike Zoom Kobe V PROTRO - Dec 2019

[mister friendly]

Nike really took out the heel zoom and raised and the price by 50% and some of y’all are cool with it?

I’m more cool with that than I am paying, oh I dunno, $200 for Jordan IV etc retros ...

 

[mister friendly]

I don’t recall buying retro Jordan’s at full price since they did price hikes. Buy used or on sale for those types of shoes.

I’m not cool with it. Adding forefoot zoom turbo is nice, but taking out the heel zoom sucks. Charging 180 s sucks too. That said I will consider grabbing a pair to try out on the court IFF I can grab a pair closer to 100...

Ah. Well, you asked if other people were cool with it. Considering these basically sold out in a day, and considering the popularity of OG colorway Jordan retros and the ancient “tech” in them—combined with some of the highest MSRP prices on the market—I guess it was a rhetorical question

I want this pair of 5s too.

so the OG's had forefoot and heel zoom?

To be fair, they increased the forefoot zoom and upgraded the traction.

Also improved the cushion foam

 

[D_eezus]

As long as it has more cushion than the FTB’s

the forefoot zoom was a very small zoom bag in the OG, could barely feel it.

they made it much bigger now and got rid of the heel zoom.

IMO, these feel more comfortable than the OG due to the enhanced forefoot cushioning.

I was salty because I didn’t think these would be a problem and my wife would be able to cop on SNKRS as an Xmas present but she took a fat L. Ive been in the PH for the last week (wife didn’t want to do the long plane ride) away from civilization so I’ve been stewing for a couple days keeping my hopes up I’d be able to find a pair online when I got back to some WiFi/ service. Came back to Manila today, bone dry online, hit up BGC Titan and had no luck, they directed me to the Nike store down and the way...

They sold out because they were limited,we’ll see how they sell when they are at retailers like Di cks.

The Jordans and Lebron have close to full length Zoom or Air Max cushioning for around the same price. Heck KD have it for $150 These have the same tech as Kyries but cost around 45% more. They still have the cheap **** upper that’s going to rip.

I was over the no flz thing but the turbo in the 5s has kinda got me angry about it again.

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

I was hoping to get them on discount from the jump

Nike made them slightly limited tho smh

 

[urn0tlike]

Was it confirmed in that tear down the upper is actually thinner?

 

[crz777]

I tried the kd 12s last summer n they were trash. Nothing compares to a Kobe comfortability wise

what was trash about them? i feel like they have better cushion than say, the kobe 4 or kobe 11. first time i put on a kd 12 it felt like ultraboosts.

Not exactly. You can actually buy it brand new. Not terribly expensive.... only thing that I know from experience is they take a long time to ship them out to you
