Ya pretty sure this isn't the 9. We all know Eric Avar has been doing the Kobe's and they've been a success so pretty sure they wouldn't get someone else to do the shoe.Does Brett Golliff work for Nike? (serious question, not trying to be sarcastic) http://www.brettgolliff.com/nike-zoom-kobe-ix/
yea i kinda posted it on wrong threadNice but there is an ID section for a reason.
What does when you started hooping in Kobes have anything to do with when the sig line actually started getting popular though?Doesn't matter what you personally thought of the Vs or the sigs before, the line still took off with the IVs, and every Kobe sig since has benefitted from the IV's success being the first successful low top in the line. For the Kobe line, Nike didn't really start pushing 20+ colorways per sig and making more QS colors to mark different occasions/themes (Xmas, MLK, Draft Days, Chaos, etc) until the IVs, and them going that route definitely contributed to the collectibility and increased popularity. Before that, you mainly still just had your 4-5 GRs per year with much fewer QS colors released to the public, and that's that. Sure, you get longer threads when there's more cws out there than before. But the KD Vs this year have probably just as many if not more cws than the Kobe 8s, and the Kobe thread is about triple the size. You can't explain that big of a difference in thread length just off of there being more cws alone.
I definitely agree with you though that Nike SB (and maybe also AF1s) was the one that started the collecting phase, and the sneaker culture's also just gotten bigger. But if Nike stuck to their old system of releasing 4-5 GRs per year like they did with Jordans, these Nike bball sig lines wouldn't be anywhere near what they are today. It's a twofold thing, Nike recognized there's a demand out there for collecting shoes, but they still gotten put the product out there and feed into what ppl want.
I can already see grizz eating up the entire Wisconsin stock. lolMy spot will have the fades, but they said the shipment was late, and they wont have them in till tuesday..
i figured all the kids will be in school, and the first shift people will be at work.. so it shouldn't be that hard of a pick up.. ill see what happens, but i think my brain is allready programmed to wake up on saturdays at around 6:00 so maybe ill just copp online
no, the VIs is when i started hooping in kobes, Vs hurt my feet when i tried them on, and earlier models werent any better than the basketball shoes i already used to hoop in so it was unnecessary to buy them, we started seeing 1000 page Kobe threads because there were more cws available to the public, lower merion 3s were ridiculously limited and expensive, but VIs were much more easily accessible and could be had at retail, and GR cws selling out in a couple months time??? you say that like its not a long time and then on top of that, thats not true at all, 4s and 5s sat for about a year and a half after release
The lVs was when the Kobe's really started to get traction. The biggest issue was the bottoming out of the lunar foam. I personally didn't like the V ( looks like a painted block of foam) as well but I know a lot of heads that feel the opposite. I liked the VI more than the IV and V ( primarily worn to play outdoor ball ) but to say it started with the VI is nonsense.

The popularity really started with the Kobe IV and definitely with the Kobe V. Thats when we started to see the beginning of 1000 page Kobe threads on here. Thats also when I noticed some GR colorways would actually sell out in a couple months time.
Shoes are selling better than they ever have because Nike revamped their lineup and marketed in new way.Also Nike helped cultivate the market by making energy colorways and releasing them in House of Hoops. Basically it made it fun to collect shoes.
again i have to disagree, shoes are selling better because the sneaker scene grew to what it was by itself, the whole sneaker thing was already growing fast, especially with the rise of hipster and indie styles, nike sb pretty much started the whole collecting craze, then people just started getting more into it, nike didnt do anything but create more shoes for people to buy, their marketing and whatnot didnt pull anyone into buying shoes that they didnt already wantDoesn't matter what you personally thought of the Vs or the sigs before, the line still took off with the IVs, and every Kobe sig since has benefitted from the IV's success being the first successful low top in the line.
