How anyone hits snkrs pass is beyond me.

probably be better if the snkr sites ain’t tell everyone and SNKRS just sent a notification

have yet to hit a snkrs pass

 

[D_eezus]

Passed on these. but hey congratulations

Nope, the last hurrah for Nike Kobes (for now anyway).

WOOOOOOOOW

THESE BETTER BE A ******* PREORDER DROP NIKE

 

[senorroboto2k5]

We sure these aren’t fakes or customs? If not then good scoop...
They put the foundation and Kobe and Gigi’s name like a memorial, they better be damn sure everyone can get them and not one cent goes to resellers

 

[pharphresh]

Would be amazing if that's the final sneaker to send off the Kobe/Nike deal and is made as a preorder so anybody who wants a pair will get a pair.

But, it's Nike so we know how that's gonna go.

Not doubting you, but any sauce for this info?

 

[tbrill11]

Also would like to see sources for those Mamba Sports Academy Logo 6s. They look more like a custom/PE situation and haven’t seen anything about these yet

*edit* nvm seeing rumored pics on Twitter now. Cool if true

 

[senorroboto2k5]

It would be bad news for me but the best way for Nike to release these shoes, at least in terms of what they did in the past, is a charity auction like the Mags. They would still end up being resold but at least Nike would maximize $ and attention for the foundation. Of course They could mass produce and do preorders but they’ve never shown they’d do something like that

They better make those pre order or something. If that’s how the Kobe line ends, they better make enough for everyone.

 

[joex]

Looks like people are getting confirmation on the HOF... starting to see it pop up on CL and other apps

 

[grittyman]

I don't know, maybe it's just me but those Kobe 6's look like fakes...

Why would Nike put the logo of a brand they don't own (MAMBA) on one of their releases?

 

[kobehead]

Vanessa and the Bryant estate owns the logo. She approved it.

I know she owns the logo, and sure she'd like the exposure, but that's not what I'm asking.

What does NIKE gain from adding the logo of another brand? They don’t need to, and they definitely aren’t going to out of the goodness of their own hearts

Also, if we’re believing this random guy on Twitter then I guess Vanessa was trolling with the only two more release post…

 

[skaterplayer808]

I guess we just believing whoever these days as long as it aligns with what we wanna believe.

 

[D_eezus]

more than 2 isn’t a stretch rn.

You got Kay Wows/POPs/HOF 5’s that were done already. Who’s to say there’s not more

Great, more L’s!!!!!

 

[grittyman]

We’ll see guys…

Not that I don’t want to see more Protros released, but need to see more credible sources before I start to believe random Twitter accounts. Vanessa said 2 pairs, and DePaula mentioned there was a limited window for releases after the contract expired. So again we’ll see, I’m not getting my hopes up

 

[vettez06]

Great, more L’s

She was probably right at the time but things may have changed. Remember she also she Grinches would be made widely available.

 

[Geats]

Man, what a shiieet show this has become

 

[kobehead]

Anyone size 11 or bigger win the raffle?

 

[joex]

Is it safe to say, if you haven’t received an email for the HOF you’re SOL?

 

[D_eezus]

Not sure if they do it this time but with the pack they sent emails like a week two weeks later.

i think tigo0240 hit his like that

 

[kobehead]

2 weeks later is a fluke. But I remember from the pack the last emails were sent around 2pm pacific time

 

[grittyman]

And there you have it
