I only doubt you based on personal use.I swear, some of you guys either don't play basketball, have the weakest ankles in the world, or are just massive worriers/hypochondriacs.
High tops or low tops doesnt make a difference when you play basketball.
Lol at the guy who said when he wears high tops he can feel his ankle roll so he forces it back straight. If you are able to roll it like that without landing on it then you have very weak ankles. Try some calf raises?
If you are that worried about your ankles then
a) do us all a favor and don't wear Kobe's so you don't come and complain about rolling your ankle playing basketball
b) strap your ankles or invest in ankle braces
c) go to the gym and strengthen them
d) DON'T PLAY BASKETBALL
As a sports doctor i know says, you aren't a basketballer until you've had severe ankle sprains.
So please, lets stop all this stupid talk about Kobe's making you roll your ankles yet high tops don't.
You guys so worried about your ankles should really look into this.
They are selling the pythons already? or just have them?Check your local champs, mine got a restock of the kobe elite socks in the blk/grey and they dropped the green/yellow. There was 1 pair left of the blk/grey at the champs in victoria gardens in socal. Also, they already received the pythons as well.
Worst Kobe along with the worst basketball shoe I've ever played in..Where's the Kobe 8 comercial?!?!
Also, don't use the kobe 7 as your peg on lowtop sneaks. They're the worst Kobe to ball in.
Use the kobe 5 and get back to us on this...

Best kobe shoe since the 4. Just throwing that out there lol
What do you think the purpose of ankle taping and ankle braces are for? The purpose is to provide feedback so you can help stop an ankle roll.
Look Ive played and been around high level athletics for many years. So all this your know it all talking points is quite funny to me. When in fact in addition to my own experience, other players and trainers have told me the exact opposite of what you are saying.
What I said is Kobes or lowtops arent for everybody just like Lebrons and Force type shoes arent for everybody, For what you gain in one cut shoe, you lose something that other cut had.
Know your style, if youre a guard who mainly shoots and doesnt rebound or block shots, Kobes are great for you but if youre a big or a forward who slashes and rebounding you should beware of making Kobes or low cut shoes your primary shoe.
This is from my personal experience and observations.[/quoteQFT
I like the two stripes on the sulfurs instead of the full shozoku, it makes it look kinda like soccer shoes with an indoor feel, and the fact it's 3M makes it that much better. I'm probably in the minority on that though lol.
After seeing the real pics of the black YOTS, I think I might pass....too plain especially for the price. I don't want to pay high price for 1 color shoe regardless the gimmick is....I might cop this if they drop.....the most decent pair.....NSW or not
Retail >$200 for Kobes is doo doo
The YOTS went from easy cop to easy pass if NSW gets confirmed.
