It clearly says in that article that those are the shoes that released in February smh... the new blue pair hasn't surfaced yet.

You can do it without jailbreaking. I don't have the shozoku image though so maybe someone else can hook you up with that.

 

[daveyrockit]

kobe say that when he retires he will focus on working the kobe brand..so yes

and yea shoes do sell better when he wears them..like mj I always had a feeling that they 18-23 aren't as popular like the other retros due to him not wearing them

I do remember him saying the same thing although I believe he meant it to be in a way that describes ALL his off court products he is endorsing, as well as everything he associates with and puts his name on. I don't think this is specific only to his brand at Nike, which many may interpret it as. Brand Kobe and Player Kobe exist now, but I think he means devoting himself to brand Kobe when he's done and that means more than just Nike, if that makes sense?

 

[frenchblue23]

Thanks for that. We'll find out soon enough.

According to FL the blue snakes are the blue corals. And those "Red Snakes" look very similar to  the port wines.

In other news, 75% of FL employees couldn't pick a pair of supernaturals out of a lineup.

 

[geoff2005]

So in lebron thread they stated super hero pack more available than the regular home POP elites.

I just checked FTL locator looks like every FTL getting the super hero pack

 

[woody2626]

The description i have for elites on 6/1 is white/metallic gold/black

 

[adt24]

so its looking like the Gradients "Playoffs" are releasing May 11th and the "home" colorway (grey/yellow) on May 25th? dayum looks like im passing on grapes 5s and grabbing these 2 pairs instead! "CANT WAIT!" (Bart Scott voice)

 

[hawkswoosh]

An acquaintance of mine was wearing the Volts yesterday, so I got to check them out up close and personal for the first time.  I slept on these and now I want them for the upcoming city league.  I can give my Sulfurs a rest if I get these.

Purple Gradients would be my choice

 

[jst628]

[CHAOSE57]

Didn't realize the home and gradient's RD is so close. Might not be able to double up on the gradients

 

[djyoung08]

Another shot of the Easters w/ the custom elites for the haters

 

[urn0tlike]

Lol, those socks are terrible. That's why they were give aways.

Max,

Hey Anh and everybody else, thanks!

So I guess it is the purple gradients, black elites, maybe those home elites if they come out and that should be it for me.

Hopefully they will release the ones that he wore during the last matchup with the clippers!

The FC Barcelona pair looks cool too, although I need to dislike that club, since I am German ;-), but the kickz are a must have!

I have never really been into Kobe kickz but these 8s are just phenomenal, wore my christmas once for practice 2 weeks ago and the weight and movability with them is very nice, I was just a bit afraid about the ankle support, but I guess I need to wear them more often to overcome that fear!
