Can someone please post a screen grab if they were extended this offer?

You have a specific quote of Bryant saying he likes his sigs better than the Hyperdunks? I never heard him imply this. Unless you take that one game where he switched the Hyperdunks at halftime to his sigs.. I didn't see it that way though. Coulda been something else that caused him to switch it up.

I know that Slim Solejer posted months back that Kobe wasn't too thrilled about the Hyperdunks or wearing them.. not because of looks but because he didn't want it detracting from his line.
I asked about that from folks close to Kobe and the situation and it was in fact true. With so much stuff being focused around selling Lebrons Product, they never really have a plan for Kobe's line. Thats being worked on, but from where I stood, it didn't look like the greatest plan. I still think the Spring Releases are just silly.
If you are going to reduce the # of signature shoes coming out, why not slot Kobe in the Fall when the season starts?
Also, Kobe is a Rhythm type of guy, meaning when he really likes a shoe, as he does the III's, he likes to keep things the same. It was a little different when he was shopping shoes and wore everything from A to Z. Who else wouldn't love shoes just showing up by the droves?

Interesting. That makes a lot of sense, but any word on how he feels about his sigs and the Hyperdunks in terms of performance?Originally Posted by RockDeep

It's great that Kobe is still sticking with the GR maizes on the road, it's gonna help the shoe sell but it would have been nice if they made a Finals edition. It's also so stupid how they released the hyperdunks with a special case and 48 pairs, guess what? More than half of them are on ebay fetching for more than 4K.
