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

What size that's a steal some what

Probably something like a 7.5

 

[206to813]

Remember copping those for 100 or so on NDC….if only I had a time machine

Still hoopin in them from time to time. 11s were an amazing pair.

Damn I didn’t remember they hit that low on ndc, I thought they actually sold out, that was a clean cw. I hit the pause on Kobe’s when I realized I didn’t like the drop in midsole set ups of the 8 and 9, I had a pair of 10s but they felt so clunky and my pair had terrible traction out the box (eybl pair) so I skipped the 11 also. I really like that cw and remember looking at resale prices

They are in a size 8.5. The guys had 2 pairs and I had to finesse a bit on the deal. Plus I’m in California where there are a lot of sellers on Offer.

Didn’t think it was a deal but I guess it’s kinda a deal.

 

[DadNboujee]

I mean that’s the price of 2 shoes.

For these id hold back on buying some whack retros that id never use.

Wish I can get an update from folks selling in LA. But OU can't be used out of the country

 

[grittyman]

Be careful, lots of fakes of these out there!

please post pics.. there's a lot of fakes out there that look pretty much 1:1 except for extremely minor details that your average person wouldn't notice.

The inner spots designs on fakes are different from them

It’s a beautiful day in so cal today I took it outside for the photos. I’m pretty good with replicas as I seen quite a few. But I appreciate the heads up.
It came with the receipt from the Watts nike store as well.

I plan to rock them with one white and black laces.

And this dude’s crying about $430

And this dude’s crying about $430

Well, if you just sized down 3 full sizes, you could save $350

 

[vettez06]

Too bad they don’t sell infant sizes because I could save lots of money and walk around like this

 

[truth2truth]

And this dude’s crying about $430

Bro I don’t know about you but for me, $430 for a pair of shoes is crazy!

 

[vettez06]

Bro I don’t know about you but for me, $430 for a pair of shoes is crazy!

It’s definitely crazy, but when they’re going for 800+ $430’s a steal!

But it all depends on the size but you’re right, $430’s a lot.

 

[bklyn style baby]

while at work....

 

[James_O]

Bro I don’t know about you but for me, $430 for a pair of shoes is crazy!

It’s crazy for any shoe, but these are running for like $850-$1,100 bro. So I’m a sense, it’s a “steal”.

 

[James_O]

while at work....

Nice whip sheesh

 

[howdythere]

Still in my order history lol. $137.68 with tax

Back when the sneaker world had some sanity, and Nike wouldn’t make every single release goddamn overly limited.

 

[tigo0240]

Damn that guy really ****** up that Mustang

 

[lg88lg]

Man I miss those NDC clearance sales
So many good deals back then.

They use to sit and sit hard, fandom ate it up.
Remembered people saying Kobes cant be worn casually and all sorts of other nonsense now theyre hypebeast favorites for the moment at least.
Anxiously awaiting the relaunch but not getting hopes up until those of us who have been around eat and eat well.

 

[howdythere]

Kobe 7 coming next? I’ve been wearing my Del Sols lately, and I love them. A really good looking shoe.

 

[jordansallday]

I know it's rough getting any Kobes at the moment. But I think by mid to late next year, Nike will ramp up production. It's great timing to replace Kyrie Irving's line, which ends after the 2023 season since Nike doesn't want to deal with him anymore. They signed a long term deal with Vanessa, so it's probably something in between the $15M to $30M range annually. Lebron and KD make $30M annually for their sneakers. It doesn't make sense to limit Kobes because they would be taking a massive loss continuing the limited trend. I think Nike is still trying to formulate a release schedule that will be most beneficial to them.
