Can't believe I actually threw away my Kobe 8 milksnakes years back since the whole thing came apart and were super beat to death. Would've kept most of my beat kobes but the outsoles were completely smooth and had gashes in em with how much I played in em. Can't find myself hooping in whatever protros I was able to scoop. Only one I hoop in is the blue/yellow 5 rings

Kobes were going for CHEAP right before he passed. I walked into a footlocker, tried on the Chaos Vs and left with 2 pairs lol.

I made my wife go to footlocker for the chaos v's since I was at work. She found a size 8 and I think another smaller size, but I told her to pass since they were going near retail and wasn't even my size. My friend did hook me up with a 9 for retail at least. But wow, looking at prices now, I goofed by telling her to leave it for someone else

Someone at my gym once said "Hey I like your Golden State Warriors color Kobes. " when I wore my 5 rings. It was at that point I gave up convincing people that it was a shade of purple.

And what would you do with some “Beat to death, completely smooth outsoles with gashes in them” Kobe’s today?

Wish I was into shoes before his passing. RIP mamba

I guess yall didn't see the new Mamba and Mambacita Sports Academy merch. Better pleasing to the eye then the previous garments, as there simple black and white and "more" affordable. Ima cop on the next batch.

 

[the red model]

Sold out QUICK

 

[grittyman]

Saw the hoodies were still over $100… immediately closed the browser

 

[Beeb2407]

They're sponsored by champion btw

Kicks of the day for 2-24 🕊. Also copped a hoodie

These are my fav pair of Kobe’s I own due to the fact that the Jordan 3s were Kobe’s fav kicks, and Tinker using that influence to design these

Leaving the top lacehole unused is not enough for DeMar anymore, now he has progressed to unuse two top laceholes
