His heels were over the sideline just like Sean Elliot yrs ago in a playoff game...

Nice how the cameras have to focus on his feet or "shoes" over and over again. Now that the highlights were shown on SportCenter, the whole nationwill want to buy the inlines.....

I think I'm one of the only people who doesn't like the bruce lee joints. Waiting for the dark knights patiently

I caught that too, looked like his heels touched the line...but hey, he's Black Mamba, he knows his boundaries, even when they're out of sight

Coach Westpahl got the best look and he says no. Actually he didn't say anything so that's as good as a no.

 

[never wear them]

Inlines are looking good. They'll be copped.

 

[chckboy5]

yeah the sac bench didnt have a reaction that kobe stepped out, i think they were too busy checking out his inlines

 

[never wear them]

They all wanted him to make it in deep honesty. You wana see Kobe do that. Can't deny that

In most cases when I have posed questions to ppl that wear shirts with artists, they barely know any lyrics, so In cases like that, yes it's riding

 

[c4]

The 16th couldn't come any faster.
I ordered a pair of Aways from S.T.'s but those may not show up until Feb. I don't think I can wait that long.

 

[royalflush]

LMAO SHAREEF'S FACE SAYS IT ALL!!

Your not alone. As of now, Aways, DK's, Del Sol's are the ones I'm waiting for.

to me. None of that d-riding stuff, just the logo that represents the guy.

the irony, right?

I dont see how its irony. I like Jordan Brand stuff but I dont wanna wear another mans face on my clothing. like this

Gimme something like this

or this

Logos arent neccesarily d-riding. Some of y'all like products like Livestrong, Tommy Hilfiger, Armani etc but you dont want their damn face on your shirt thats sorta tacky.

Logos, faces, blah blah...honestly, wear what you want to wear. I just don't consider calling those that you find tacky to be a "D-rider" but you're probably going to wear a pair of the man's shoes with the man's logo and walk around calling people a D-rider. that, to me, is the irony.

So if I wear Armani or Louis Vuitton, with their logos everywhere I'm a d-rider? I obiviously appreciate KB24 as a player and love his Nike products but Idont want his face on my clothing.

Some you guys get too defensive when I say I dont want this mans face on my clothing because to me, its d-riding especially if you're a grown man but ifyou want another mans face on your clothing, do you! It doesnt matter what I think.

i think he knew he was close so he shot on his tippy toes, and his heels were out, but never touched out of bounds. still not sold on the inlines.still too plain imo.

Some you guys get too defensive when I say I dont want this mans face on my clothing because to me, its d-riding especially if you're a grown man but if you want another mans face on your clothing, do you! It doesnt matter what I think.

No one said you're a D-Rider, it's just funny that you label others D-Riders for doing basically the same thing you are trying to do. A name, a face, alogo are all ways to publicly announce your allegiance to Kobe, it doesn't really matter how you do it. The irony and comedy is that you are trying tolabel one as D-Riding while acting like the other is totally different and completely acceptable. And the Armani and LV comparison is a bit off because thosenames and logos no longer represent the person the designer, they only represent the clothing label. The Kobe logo is still a clear representation of Kobe as aperson. But it really isn't that serious, just thought what you said was funny. You're the one that's getting defensive.

 

[never wear them]

I think it's dumb for Actually caring what d-riding is.... Just "Do You".

 

[notoriousmj23]

Inlines looking very clean.. good game kobe.. as always. was hoping he got 40, but ill take that "W" and that 39. That play was crazy, just as Ithought the play was gonna fold when he fumbled with it, Kobe saves the day.!!

Aways drop in 14 days.. let the countdown begin.. lol
My job (footlocker) has a full case.. from grade school all the way to Mens..

No I have no allegiance to Kobe. You pledge allegiance to countriesnot Kobe Bryant

I dont feel like explaining what d riding is or isnt. Who cares! I was just asking where I can get a shozoko shirt....geez!

 

[noblekane]

I think Coach Westphal was just too distracted by the inline Vs...

Kobe's performances in these may sway me in buying those, rather than IDing a pair that looks like the IVs.

 

[jam2983]

New Kobe gear up on NDC including the jacket he wore on the George Lopez show, but that one is listed as out of stock currently.

 

[kg21]

Wow you guys weren't kidding when you said these hardly crease. I shot around in these (Chaos) for about 45 minutes and they still look deadstock. \

Still not sure what my second pair is going to be. None of the other colorways interest me. All of them are a bit too plain. Do we really need two Duke CWs?

I might get BLs or TDKs and then I'm done with the Vs unless they put out better CWs.
