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

[D_eezus]

I was gonna but the Yellow AD mid but after seeing these. I’m good

 

[alchemist iq]

The grip concerns me. Those little nubs look like they are going to wear down quick.

I said the same thing, this is definitely not a outdoor shoe. But the traction looks decent and intesting. Only thing translucent soles has a short life and can easily Lose grip from dusty courts.

I'm excited. Will be ready on release day.

 

[passthatjawn]

In the past, seemed like about 3/4 of the comments were negative the first couple hrs after new Kobe pics dropped. Seems like Nike might have a hit on their hands with this one

 

[D_eezus]

NIKE BETTER DROP ID THE SAME DAY!!!! DONT MAKE US WAIT PLSSSS

Dope

 

[little mac]

5 pages on here tonight. Seems like the good old days! Good to see some buzz back with Kobes.

The sole kinda reminds me of these Kobe Venomenons

Kobe A.D. NXT 360 release date early April via Slam

These look god damn gorgeous.

I love how these look futuristic yet the toe box looks like a shoe from the late 80s/early 90s.

 

[goldmember]

I hope Nike should just do a new Kobe sig instead of calling it AD NXT 360 or whatever. Sick and tired of the similar look from the previous ones

 

[ballyeaz]

React insoles and real Flyknit...I want to cry.


Tongue looks un padded too like the ad mids and Kobe 8s

 

[therefill]

So is this completely flyknit? Or is it like the other Kobe flyknits where it's backed by some mesh and the flyknit is essentially just for show?

 

[little mac]

That snake on the bottom of the sole

 

[gwizzle]

April 13th is mamba day so this has to be release date for new Kobe A.D. NXT 360

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

damn these are not bad at all

 

[jiffyl00b]

So the Mercurial soccer joints, the first shoe to use the Flyknit 360 is dropping at $275...they're gonna charge something absurd for these I feel like

 

[buc em]

I wish they’d keep it simple and drop the stupid names. Kobe 13 is all they need to call it.

Agreed...have they gave any type of explanation as to why they started going with these stupid names?

 

[bigj505]

I need at least one colorway. Looks great so far.

 

[madgame87]

IMO who cares about the stupid title

People need to focus on the potential tech and innovation in the shoe

 

[buddhashark]

So is this completely flyknit? Or is it like the other Kobe flyknits where it's backed by some mesh and the flyknit is essentially just for show?

The 11s weren't backed by other materials.

 

[buddhashark]

Boo lunarlon. Boo react. Bring back the ZOOM!

 

[wtfarabbit]

Why no zoom? The shoe looks like it's gonna play high off the floor like the AD Mids. Traction looks great though for a solid pair.

 

[senorroboto2k5]

So is this completely flyknit? Or is it like the other Kobe flyknits where it's backed by some mesh and the flyknit is essentially just for show?

Heel area looks padded like usual. On the medial side near the arch it looks pretty thin and porous. Middle part of the upper looks “welded” or fused like the new Mercurials. Hard to tell for sure but it looks like the upper will probably be a lot different than the 11

People can focus on the technology in a shoe while also thinking the name change is stupid.

 

[urn0tlike]

I wonder how much input derozan has on the shoe if any at all seeing as he pretty much is the main “Kobe” guy now.

 

[Bert.]

Make a grey pair and I’m all in RD

Not into black kicks butnwith flyknit gotta be a grey colorway please!
