I wasn't referring just to this shoe, I meant in general with the insole remark
To be honest Kobe used the original insoles that came in the shoes that last few years and did NOT wear special insoles
Tell me what is not true tho. Almost everything I wrote was facts.such a pessimist point of view![]()
I wonder how much the shoe companies pay. Or if it's just free shoes and the occasional flight to media events
Well let's all just butter up questionable products and reviewers to keep you out of your feelings, shall we.Starting to look like the Lebron 14 thread now![]()

Dont get offended by banter. I can only assume I said something about someone you are a fan of.
Chill.
I agree with this above. I don't think this shoe is a $160 shoe either. This, along with the 11 EMs should have been at the $120-$130 price point. This is a shoe that could have come out 7 or 8 years ago. It almost seems as if there are two teams working 'Kobes.' The A team did the 9s and 11s, and the B team did the 10s and these ADs.
true that , majority of these people reviewing shoes hasnt even hit the gym once to improve their physique but they care about the performance of a shoe compared to another to improve their game by 0.000001 %I never realized there is such a big followers of the show reviewer game. I think it's kinda funny to me. If I like a pair of shoes I'll buy it to try it out. If I don't like it I'll return them or won't buy shoes with that kind of setup. I guess I don't ball enough to require shoe knowledge before buying a pair of shoes.
Appreciate the review boss! I'm playing in mine Thursday & we're about the same build so this really helps. I could already tell from trying them on that I could play in them so wasn't concerned. Thanks again for your input.
Played in mine for the first time today...black/white colorway.
Initial thoughts:
- Traction seemed really good (like 8/10)
- Great fit, normally I like to lace my shoes extra tight but with these I didn't really see the need to do that
- TTS for me, no extra space in the forefoot like the Kobe 11
- Materials felt good, didn't feel overly stiff (like fuse for example)
- Cushioning did feel on the firm side, especially in the midfoot area (didn't mind that, I keep a pair of Kyrie 2's in my rotation and those are fine to me)
Overall I really liked playing in them...saw some reviews where guys mentioned they got blisters or soreness from the upper but I didn't experience any of those issues. Only pain I felt was when I had them laced up super tight and that went away once I loosened the laces up a little bit.
IMO, they fit better than the 10's but the cushioning isn't as plush
FYI, I'm 6'2/200 lbs if that matters.
Why isn't it a good thing?Hearing these feel like the Kobe 10's which isn't a good thing for hooping. Any other opinions?
I love the silouhette and would love a pair to play in.
