THE OFFICIAL NIKE KOBE FOOTWEAR THREAD: RIP LEGEND 1978-2020. MAMBA FOREVER | 3 Releases 4/13

[Geats]

Hit on the Lemonade Off-White AF1s earlier today. Been debating on whether to keep or flip 'em and cop either the Laker Camo Protro 1s or FTB 11s.

Flip for either. Virgil is caca

looks like canvas

 

[blastercombo]

I wonder if Vanessa signs with Adidas and Jerry Lorenzo is in charge of making an all-new Kobe model.

Ewww yikes. No

 

[kaz109]

Sheesh Devin Booker with another PE. Undefeated x Kobe 4

Sweet baby Jesus!!!

 

[jordansallday]

Ewww yikes. No

If it does happen, kept that same energy and leave pairs for others.

 

[jordansallday]

Lmao that he said he ain't seen PJ with this pair. Just watch till tomorrow's game haha

Not yet. Even PJ disappointed he doesn’t have a pair.

Oh I will. Don’t worry. Anything new won’t be a “Kobe” in my eyes. Just cash grabs

Wore these the other day…

for anyone that has FTB 11s, do they fit way tighter than your other 11s? just got a pair in and they legit feel 0.5 to 1 size tighter than all my other 11s. they're authenticated by ebay, but the tag doesn't even bring up the item when I scan it. just says authenticated may 2021.

You can get away with going up .5 a size. depending on if you ball or go casual. I stuck with TTS because I feel that everything will stretch over time. I currently own my TTS & previously had a pair .5 up from my TTS

Is your TTS noticeably tighter than other 11s? I can barely get my foot in this size 12 pair while my other 11s all have a bit of space up front.

 

[Geats]

I had Eulogy's a while back and the FTBs are tighter in comparison. But not to the point where I couldn't get my foot in FTB

 

[thejisback]

Figured that I would start here. In regards to the AD NXT 360 Mamba Day colorway, were there differences between them and the other colorways? I'm trying to determine if I received a knock off pair. I'll post pictures later on as well.

 

[tigo0240]

Aside from colors and slightly different swoosh materials...I don't believe so.

I have the mamba days. If you post pictures and explain your concerns I can try to help out.

Wore these the other day…

Imo the best performing Kobe to date with the protro. Materials on point too. 10/10

Best materials, cushion, built like a tank. I love and wore the hell out of my Final Seconds pair but it really plays different than what I've come to know of a Kobe shoe (the 4 onwards). To me the Kobe 1 Protro played like an Air Jordan 11 or 12 on steroids.

 

[johnnyp2k12]

so its gonna hurt my pinky toes even more than aj 11?

My pinky toes were fine when I played in my 11s, no problems with the Kobe 1 either. I don't know if the midsole teeth thing on the lateral side would hurt pinky toes for those who had that issue with the 11s.

[charles 1]

Need the crazy 8s

 

[gwizzle]

Y’all can have those lol

 

[D_eezus]

Ehhh not worried unless they got “Kobes Branding” on them

 

[brian blades]

Probably going to pass on all of them maybe some fyw or whatever those are called if I can get for retail...

What I’m really wondering is how long this contract is and if Vanessa is out here playing Chess and Nike is going to go all-in when negotiations open back up or is Nike going to go full heel and release some unbranded joints Either way I’m looking forward to see what happens.

 

[thejisback]

Please take a moment and legit check these. I feel like things are off. The Volt Green on the bottom looks thicker than normal. The UPC numbers on the tags inside the shoes are NOT the same as on the box. The shoe tissue paper is way different and feels like some generic print. These are supposed to be DS, but yet black is already scraped/rubbed off on the top layer of the back and tongue on the shoe on the right. The box is smaller than my peach and Lakers colorways pairs. Again please give me your take. Always appreciated NT Fam!
