My response was to all the flash mob robberies in CA. That particular Nike store in East LA was getting robbed multiple times a week. Thousands of dollars of items from clothes to sneakers were stolen weekly. They just walk in with trash bags and walk on. With my luck if I win, I'll get hit with bear spray like those other flash mob robberies.

Just noticed the swooshes are embroidered. Also no snake around the Kobe logo. Interesting. Hopefully it’s just a one off for this pair.

Mambacita 4's had the embroidered swoosh as well—definitely like the OG styling a lot better

They are definitely making more pairs than what is reported. just look at the EU stores receiving these and then compare it to the Kobe 6 Grinches for example! The fact that they are producing pairs in kids sizes as well speaks for itself with regards to the quantities.

What's funnier is the typo in the previous paragraph about the Kobe 4 Protro having "new foam and articulated contour Zoom cushioning". It's like the PR people can't make up their minds if the Protro 4s have full length zoom or zoom turbo, oh wait: they have neither.

foam just has to be much cheaper and easier to produce than zoom air. Let’s keep it

The foam compound itself probably doesn't cost that much more than the zoom air units (unless we're talking about a brand new foam or a brand new shaped zoom unit). Zoom air is also decades old tech while React is still relatively new.foam just has to be much cheaper and easier to produce than zoom air. Let’s keep it
What costs more is creating the new molds for slightly updated tooling (like the newer traction on the Protro 5s and 8s), but then again, they literally do this every year for every new shoe, and Protro models are iterations on existing ideas so

I guarantee these aren’t harder to make than Foamposites or LeBron 4s, and those are GRs.
