Nike usually would've done a new sig by now since it's been over a year since the first AD's released. Wonder what's going on. Are we getting an AD 2?

nice pick up, could we get a side pic? Thanks in advance
 
I don’t understand why Nike releases the new Kobe in January/February. That’s when college/high school and below are winding their seasons down and they’ve already bought their shoes for the year. By the time the next season rolls around, any hype for the Kobe that year is gone. Wouldn’t it make more sense to release the shoe in sept/oct before basketball season starts? It's about to be January, baseball season is starting in a month and a half and still nothing about the Kobe 360.
 
Honestly I'm not expecting any future Kobes to be great. He's retired now. Nike really has no reason to go all out with them and they have new sigs in PG and next year with Giannis. It's time they start retroing the signature line.

Completely agree. The crazy thing is players at all levels still wear Kobe’s more than ANY other players shoes and yet Nike is still garbage right now at doing anything with them.

They do that to stagger the new releases of each brand. We actually lucked out when they switched kobe to February because we got more Kobe 8 releases. Thats why we had two Christmas 8's
