OFFICIAL: HOH: HOUSE OF HOOPS THREAD

Kobe Asia being ugly as hell with the $200 price tag makes me

All the best PEs (Zoom BB, HS Soldiers) cost retail $110, haha.

 

[sarteaga0408]

yea they are Asia's hence the price tag, just like the China lebron V's.

 

[never wear them]

i just saw the commercial. and im in l.a... why would they show it over here?

 

[slimsolejer]

Exactly. Show the commercial all over and not to Phone Orders. That is just strange.

I think with Inventory building up, there could be a pardon allowed to have phone orders from outside the NYC area. Problem is, everyhing left isn't wantedby those outside of NYC either.

And the Saga continues.

^^^ I think we can pretty much all agree that if they really think they're going to be successful by opening 50locations nationwide, they're flippin nutty. I hope the one location they have works out, but I guess they underestimated how much business the old peopleand average customer brings in who look for 2/$89 kicks, 5/$20 polos, etc. I think 3 or 4 nationwide would be a reasonable cap, given that the flagship onesurvives.

Being a native and then with fam who work in the area, that store is gonna have to be seasonal in order to be effective.Also the economy in that areais down. With regentrification going on and people losing jobs, the main audience they target are not going to spend the dough, nor are they wanting to befollowed around a store as soon as they walk in. It's insulting. Especially when you walk down the block to the other stores, and they have the same junk,at half the price.

I've stated this before, Nike and Footlocker didn't think this thing through and quite obviously didn't do the research.

I am thinking about going on Saturday, just to ask Kobe 'wth' is up with these ugly shoes he's been wearing.

 

[blackcat23mj]

^^ you go do that. even better take a video of it and post it for us all to see, unless you are all talk.

 

[vulkanthekrusader]

To be real the LEbron China was worth it because of the great detail and awesome box it came in..with this we get what? an Orange box and some small patent ?blah..

 

[kid lebron]

You're assuming that I have a camera. I'll do it, I've even asked MJ as to why his shoes are so expensive.
His response? "The market demands it." I asked him why, he said, "we have lower priced team shoes for those on a budget."

If I go, I'll def ask Mr. Bean, " what da' dilly 'yo?"

"Dem joints look like Totes! And for two billz???"

Wow, a lot of kobeheads in NY that are willing to spend 2 bills and meet Kobe. I would too only because I can meet Kobe. So it is first 14 people inline and you can get them autographed?

 

[kobekid24]

^^^^^^ I'm pretty sure it's for the playoff VIII midnight release and not the kobe 3..
