man you got me hype for no reason. He's doing retro's or revamping older models?

I'm interested none the less.

 

[gwizzle]

Y’all been sleeping on Kobe and Nike lol. Yall really thought Nike was just going to throw away the kobe line? @mindmarathon you ready Homie? Can’t wait

 

[alchemist iq]

I'm ready, hopefully we get something going with these NXT laceless line. Cause i'll still like to have laceless shoe that quick to slip on and go.

 

[Blue Mamba]

So he means... retros

He's sounding like Kyrie Irving trying to make something sound more smart and sophisticated than it actually is

Updating older models.

 

[alchemist iq]

Updating older models.

basically "were doing Retro's" like Jordan and the rest of the sneaker industry, and he taking some of my money. Np,Kobe just make sure you drop something that's not funky or unreasonable prices.

 

[Blue Mamba]

RETRO THE 8's PLEASE

From the Nice Kicks pod Kobe didn't just want regular retroes, he wanted them to be updated to the latest tech

 

[dru812002]

Give me to Carpe Diem 4s and any 8s. Actually any 4’s! Keep the 4s the same but use real leather and the flywire panel make it Flyweave!

 

[alchemist iq]

wtf, their was a triple black nxt???



******************Never mind their fake but this was posted on nicekicks.com**************

Not unsual since nicekicks.com use to sell fake sneakers back in the day.

 

[jerseysauce]

JS”

 

[little mac]

FINALLY! The Birds win a SB, and Kobe retros. All in a 24hr window! Man oh man.

 

[thapointguy]

Anybody got the correct answer yet?

Tried looking it up, and the only thing that gives the meaning is ancestry.com which you need an account for

 

[gwizzle]

Protro = retros lol

 

[alchemist iq]

prototypes idk..

 

[D_eezus]

pro = trust
Tro = beliefs

Could be professionally putting your trust/believing in something or when you google it it just corrects it to retro

 

[alchemist iq]

I know kobe speaks multiple languages.

i think its something in latin but i don't know crap about latin.

Italian was the first language I checked too

What if Protro = some sort of retro with upgraded tech?

Not too sure how efficient that'll be manufacturing wise.

IMO the NXT was probably the best tech/innovative shoe in the Kobe line released post retirement

Seems to work out fine with models like the Vapormax Plus. (manufacturing efficiently). They are even more colorways in the pipeline for that model.

 

[alchemist iq]

I'm gonna assume again Proto meaning "Prototypes" the sketches and designs/tech they couldn't use at the time due to manufacturing/engineering limitations,

"Tro" meaning Re-Tro" a re-imagined/ re-engineered shoe. It will look like the originals but have new tech. Like flyknit, flyweave, react foam etc..

Kobe probably wants his line to surpass anything on the market. By using the latesest and greatest tech Nike has invented or innovated in recent years and what they have tucked away in their patent portfolio.

Sounds expensive to me hopefully nothing to crazy like a $300 shoe.

 

[gwizzle]

alchemist iq you nailed it sir!
