I don’t get why it has to be so damn hard to buy some shoes. I have the SNKRS app but all this **** is confusing. So normal people can’t just log on and buy them when they drop huh? Lame

 

[nikekid6]

OMG WON OFF SNKRS

 

[NCtwin]

OMG WON OFF SNKRS

Congrats!! My coworker hit, but no luck for me.

 

[James_O]

OMG WON OFF SNKRS

Congrats bro. I don’t have exclusive access, so I never had a chance to hit anyway. Screw SNKRS

 

[Benny Hinn]

2 L's on Nike Store and Undefeated

 

[nikekid6]

Thx Yal. Really hyped about these. Will pick up abs put em straight to the court

 

[martymcfly]

Well, I got my reservation, so did my dad and cousin.

As 3 die hard Lakers fans born and raised in L.A., definitely feels good. No reselling here. Just straight to the feet.

 

[MVP]

I didn't win, but my boy just texted me he did and didn't even know about them until 2 min before the pass dropped... I'm salty as hell

 

[jordansallday]

0-2. Feels like the Lakers season.

 

[vettez06]

Glad to see that the shoes are going to the right place.

Thanks nike

 

[vettez06]

Thanks again nike you guys are the best.

 

[skaterplayer808]

Thanks again nike you guys are the best.

I mean it's pretty inevitable that people would flip em. Don't know how the hell someone and his family members go 3/3 though I'm just salty I don't have a shot at em since most of these going up are LA only.

Oh frick, well, we still have a chance.

 

[mastralf]

Man I hope I get these....I was too broke to be a collector when the 6's came out. The first pair of Kobes I had was the 5's (Lakers home cw) thanks to grandma on my bday. Once I got a ft job I turned into a pretty big collector. I started with the 8's and never stopped!

As a lifelong Kobe fan I hope the sneaker gods bless me!

 

[larfboy]

I thought Vanessa wanted all of us to have Kobe’s…wtf

 

[James_O]

Mine as well just get 2 pairs of Grinches at this point

 

[vettez06]

I thought Vanessa wanted all of us to have Kobe’s…wtf

And she still does. She has hers and she wishes us “Good Luck”!

 

[nikekid6]

These finally separated on me (may get em reguled) so happy to have some more in the rotation

 

[Serp1075]

Was lucky to get these . Very thankful

 

[T0INE]

I for one am absolutely shocked that Nike would make Kobes damn near unattainable for us lowly consumers.

 

[marlee]

I don't get this whole thing. Before Kobe died I was able to get some releases from Nike. Once he died, forget that, couldn't smell anything but L's. Vanessa leaves because Nike wasn't being fair. She now comes back and to honor her late daughter and husband, they are selling these sneakers to people who have been able to get on Nike. as opposed to us who had to buy on Stock X and eBay. Come on man. I want one pair to wear, not sell, not to keep in the box. I want to wear it. Help us real fans out. Shoot my dog is named Kobe.

I wouldn’t say 3/3… I and my cousin where trying on multiple devices(they are accounts of other family members who weren’t interested in this drop) Dad is the only one with one device. We all picked the same store, though different shoe sizes. From the people I personally know that aren’t family 2 got in. On our season ticket holders discord more than I thought ended up hitting. So it seems they went into the right hands. But some pictures here prove otherwise .

I mean how do you affectively get these in the right hands ? Go to the Christmas game at the Staples(Crypto lol) Center and offer them to fans with Kobe shirts on ? Have a pop quiz on the SNKRS app? And if you answer all answer on Kobe correct you get in ?

Ultimately this will all be solved by… you guessed it! Making them in masses and available to everyone!….. but brands love exclusivity, it drivers their brand up. People get into FOMO, prices go over the roof… and they can release anything they want, ugly or not and people will gobble it right up.
