The Official Nike Kobe Retro Thread

[howdythere]

The 5 rings were a must in my collection. These "Golden State" looking things are better looking than those UA abominations Stephanie Curry was rocking before Golden State became what they are now. Oh and I waited 5 years to UNDS these for my wedding in 2015... FOH with that money talk!

Hey, to each their own. Those black ones are dope though.

 

[tupac003]

Still the gem of my collection. I hope one day they retro these so I can actually wear them.

Can't wait for the proto2s

 

[aron710]

I wonder why they are calling these 'Close Outs' when Kobe and company blew a 3-1 playoff series lead to the Suns?

 

[senorroboto2k5]

I was thinking the same thing... buzzer beaters would have been better

 

[MVP]

Close out the game maybe. For some reason Nice Kicks has them listed as "Final Seconds" which makes more sense.

[thegoldenchild]

why this colorway? there are soooo many others that look better.. i wanted the purple ones!

 

[Smithbeentrill]

Those are going for 350-450 on StockX deadstock. I would’ve flipped those Golden State looking things to put toward something that I liked enough to not let sit in my closet for 8 years.

They’re purple and gold...not blue lol

 

[dmxgod]

Wear them! Just so happens that I wore mine today after 8 years in the box

No sole separation after you wore them?!

 

[tupac003]

Any info on the close out release? Footlocker app? SNKRS app?

From the sounds of things, they will be limited, so my honest guess is going to be SNKRS app, some QS locations and some HOH's only, which is unfortunate.

These have an on-court significance, probably only second to 81 as far as the ZK1 goes.

Those socks from Express b?

[aron710]

[edshoecator]

[aron710]
