Yea they were called playoffs as well but since he got hurt right before them and didn't wear them in the playoffs, purple fade took over

I found the Sulfurs, VB's and Milk Snakes on Goat. Just searched everyday until I found a good deal (in my opinion). I guess luck also came into play. But the BHM's I found on directkicks.com, for $80 with shipping. I couldn't pass up on that.

Thanks man, I really appreciate it. I have been wanting a pair of Sulfurs for the longest. And I sold my first pair of Venice Beaches a while back but have missed them ever since. I came up on the Milk Snakes by pure luck. I actually liked them a bunch more than I thought I would

Hopefully you'll find something sooner than later. I think I had the hardest time coming across a pair of the VB's in really good shape at a good price. I've seen some crazy prices on those.....Sulfurs had some high prices too

Finally found a pair of the Purple Gradients on Goat, near DS. And then while I was browsing on Mercari (no intention of buying anything) I came across a pair of Area 72's in excellent condition for $100. Was really happy about that. Will post pictures when they arrive

Miss these. Imo the last kobe worth a damn. Had a couple CF plates break on me though.
Only pair I have left are the mambacrules or whatever they’re called.

these were my favorite shoes to hoop in so I doubled up on the ASG colorway and still have a pair deadstock but I also had the CF plate crack on me on the pair I balled in so I still have these in the box - been debating giving them another try for hoops or just selling on the bay - I kinda liked the Nike jump recording tech was super innovative at the time but nothing came of it

don't think we need these with updated performance. MAYBE the traction so just change the rubber used.
overall, solid Mamba shoe.
wow, checked Mercari and found my size. damnnn.... I'm guessing you bought the 9.5 listing for $100?

Awesome colorway, great pickup. I don't wear mine enough. I remember people were hating on them back in the day calling them the pizza pies or something

yeah they definitely aged well. at the time they were hot but some people thought they were ugly.
I personally like them now, especially if worn on court. super fire

Definitely man. They're one of my favorite 8's. It's hard to pick a favorite bc I like so many of them. The Christmas, Purple Gradients, Sulfurs, Venice Beaches etc are all up there on my list
