see you in the retro thread
Gonna get wrecked for my negativity, but sorry. I'm a Kobe fan. I kinda like these Navy shoes. I liked the last release, the white ones too. But not @ $160, or even close. Maybe I'm just bitter at seeing this line go downhill, and I'm yelling at the clouds. These AD releases are just 'blah'...especially after the barrage of great releases this past year. Both the 11 and 9 were fantastic. 8s to 4s too. Maybe that's the intention? No way to match the bar that's been set the past decade, so just keep it going until the hunger for retros builds.
I'll wait for both of these to be under $100. Then I'll make be a decision. Even then, I'm not sure. This line so far? In a word; uninspired. And yes, maybe I'm a flyknit wh_ore, but that might help a little. Just being honest. Even then, I think I would need to see a Beethoven or HTM type 'work' on this model.
I think this line needs to go 'retro' pronto. So many fantastic shoes to be redone. One every couple months; there are enough to last a decade.
It's just not worth it for me to invest in these anymore. If these are fantastic on court, and I still played; maybe.
