@teng029 2 месяца назад

If I recall correctly, Bryant wanted the design language of his signature shoes to be closer to football (soccer) cleats than anything else.

@bobheyotue9850 2 месяца назад

Probably because he was sick of the bulky design of his older shoes. I do remember that he liked the Nike total 90 enough to put some the features in his shoes.

@bobheyotue9850 2 месяца назад

If you look up the Nike total 90 iii indoor shoes and the Kobe 4-6 you could see similarities between them in the midsoles.

@therealmarcc.2529 2 месяца назад

Nike Kobe’s are actually great hoop shoes because a lot of thought and innovation were put into them. They are no nonsense performers which make then reliable. In my opinion, the Kobe 6 has a very advanced design. It doesn’t look out of place when compared to modern shoes today. A lot of modern shoes and signature lines take inspiration from Nike Kobe’s like the Kyrie’s, PG’s, Freak’s, Ja 1’s, Sabrina 1’s, early Kd’s and the Kd 15 & 16, as well as the LeBron 20 & 21.

@Andre72495 2 месяца назад

I'm a volleyball players and I think the most popoular volleyball shoes - Asics Sky Elite FF2 took inspiration from Kobe 6 too.

@yourhealth4950 2 месяца назад

my first Kobe was the 5. I instantly fell in love with the minimalist fuse and cushion set up. 7’s, 8’s, 9’s, and 11’s are the best drop in midsole shoes ever made. We’d love to see the line actually cut like the Kobe 6

The Nike KB Mentality 2 were my first kobes, used them until they broke apart and threw them out. Shortly after that, he passed away. I still think about how much him and those shoes helped me improve my game.

@ArmandoKozomara 18 дней назад

I played in the Nike Kobe 4, 5, 7, 11, AD NXT. And recently after the accident and it being so difficult to get Kobe shoes, I was finally able to get the Protros of Kobe 4 and 6. Hands down the best basketball shoes and probably even for other sports. Kobe really paid attention to detail, was actually involved in the creation of his shoes and always aimed for the best performance shoes, not just fashion and using his name. As a massive Kobe, I also tried the old bulky Adidas Kobe's but they're certainly nowhere near as good. Mamba Forever ❤

I am a huge Kobe fan and I only wear Kobe’s signature and mentality to hoops since Kobe 8 came out years ago and most of ppl were laughing about low cut basketball shoes. Even I bought Kobe 1 on StockX for less than 100dollar. After the goat passed away suddenly everyone saying Kobe shoes are the best on performance and resell price went up like rocket 🚀 so now I couldn’t get more kobes to hoops with retail price like used to😢

@cristianmuena3990 Месяц назад

Hi Zach I'm a really big fan of your content from Chile. I really like it because you put some of the science world in to the sneakers review content. I got a cuestion Did you got the measurement of the thickness of the zoom turbo unit in some Kobe protro 5 or 6?

@reb349 2 месяца назад

I remember reading an interview of Eric Avar where Kobe mentioned he wanted a soccer-cleat type of low-cut shoe. And he really had to work so hard to get it done for him and that was how the Kobe 4 was designed. Honestly, he's done a great job keeping things consistent. I'm honestly not surprised people play in Kobes to this day. There's not really any shoe line in the past 10 years that has retained its identity as much as the Kobe line did. You knew what you were getting performance-wise as a baseline. Decent amount of court feel. Pretty consistent fit model-to-model (exception being the Kobe 7, probably because they had the tongue as part of the drop-in midsole. My favourite definitely has to be the Kobe 8 though. The 5s are a close 2nd.

I love the 360 nxt. They aren't the most durable. I've gone through 3 pairs. There's not a lot of spring, but I make a lot of cuts and zig zags. They feel quick and light. I currently play in Lebron 20s which are similar in feel for quickness, but have a bit more cushion and spring. Had to move to them because my physical therapist told me no more old Kobes.

My first Kobe shoes was the OG Kobe 6 Avatars, it was by far the most reliable and comfortable in all shoes lineup that I bought, nothing came as close to it. The 1 on 1 fit, zoom air setup, weight, traction, even the color way is superbly cool. Tight budget has switched my purchase sight away from Kobe line, but boy I do miss that perfect basketball shoe. Lace it and forget about it （Drop the mic)

Kobe 9 ES peaches and cream were my first. The lunarlon was sick and it was the most stable low top I ever wore. Lunarlon did delete some spring though.

Zach, I've had many Kobe's but the 6's were my fav...I'm currently playing in LeBron 21's but they are hot and traction sucks on dusty court. I bought some AG4's based on your review but can't wear them do to the thin tongue which pains my foot. Do you want to buy them? they are size 12:)

Kobe 9 fav traction, Kobe 5 fav cushion, Kobe 6 fav support, Kobe 4/8 fav looks I would say my favorite shoe to play in a game is the Kobe 5. I feel unstoppable in those, the next shoe being a kobe 9. GT cut 1 played like a Kobe to me as well.

I would love to see Nike “perfect” the Kobe line, or come as close as possible. The 2s, 3s (MVP YEAR), 7s & 10s flaws could easily be fixed. 7s are 1 of if not the dopest aesthetic looking Kobe Eric Avar & the Mamba created, there’s a lot that can be done with the 11 shoes in his line.

@coronareviews 2 месяца назад

@gojira2404 2 месяца назад

Hey Foot Doctor Zach, I just wanted to give you some feedback on your outsole durability tests in your reviews. I recently purchased the Two WXY V4 based on your recommendation that it was good for outdoors, but after playing on a concrete court just once, I noticed that the rubber outsole was already showing signs of wear. I also heard from others that the Way of Wade 10 is not suitable for outdoor use because of the carbon fiber plate cracking and the rubber wearing down quickly. It might be worth considering upgrading the outsole durability test in your reviews to provide more accurate and helpful information to your viewers. Thank you for all the great content you continue to provide, and keep up the good work! I'm also starting to get now why the kobes are not overrated lol. Wished they were durable tho! For you, what shoe/s do you think exceeds kobes?

@franciscogil411 2 месяца назад

I play in kobe reps due to them being impossible to get on my country, but from the reps ive used, which are 4-5-6, and an actual original pair of 11's for me preformance wise, 6 is the best, aesthetics wise are the 4's, more well rounded are the 5's, and best courtfeel 11's

@JeremyGiese 2 месяца назад

I got a pair of rep 6s with more “tech” in them with forefoot and heel zoom units. They play great and look pretty close to retails. But Nike needs to do a constant restock of even basic CWs for hoopers to be able to get them.

@bobheyotue9850 2 месяца назад

Exactly what you said at the end. I believe that Kobe’s have now become the Jordan’s in the basketball community. When players wore Jordan’s 15 years ago they were honoring their game to MJ, now that kobe is gone just about every sneaker coming out now has inspiration from his best (kobe 9) shoe.

@lazzi2462 2 месяца назад

My first Kobe's were the Kobe 8's when they first came out like 10+ years ago. After all this time, they are still my most favorite hooping shoes I ever had. I wish I could get my hands on a protro version for retail. Since I loved those so much, I also bought the Kobe 9 high top versions. I was not feeling those at all, they had no breathability & left my feet drenched in sweat. Ended up selling them after hooping in them one time. Shoes that I've hooped in since then, are Kyrie 1s, Kyrie 2s, Harden Vol. 1s, Giannis 1s, Giannis 2s, & Giannis 3s. None of them compare to the Kobe 8s.

I had the original 1, 3, 4, 8, 9 & 10 elite. The 10 elite had great court feel but the traction was unfortunately not good. I remember coming up on the 3 Asia edition at a Marshall’s back in the day for $30, and they were one of the best shoes I’ve ever played in. The 1s were a bit of a tank to play in but they were beastly. I loved the 4 & 8 because they were on NikeiD (mind blowing to think about now). The 9 had hall of fame traction. Smh I hope Kobe’s become widely-enough available in the future that even the resellers can’t snag them all up.

Which of the other modern line models have shoes most similar to performance of kobes?

@Jeffball610 2 месяца назад

This didn't go quite as far as I'd like, but I enjoyed my Kobe's immensly. I ruptured my achilles shortly after he did, and I needed a shoe that would accomodate that injury and its repair. His shoes were far and above better than any shoe I had worn before or since and well worth the $180 price tag at the time. For me, it was about accomodating the achilles repair area and the interior grip of the shoe. The textured insole was something new for me. The exterior construction allowed my foot to stay planted and transfer the movement of my body to the court. At 6'10" and 250lbs, I still move quite nimbly and these shoes allowed me to do so. I'm not Hakeem Olajuwon, but I like to think my game is similar to his in footwork and movement. These shoes allowed me to play at my potential, and I wish they existed while I was in college and the pros so I could have taken advantage of them. On a side note, Dr. Zach needs to work on his footwork. Get your shooting hand foot further forward on your shot to creat more energy in the jump and release. 🙂

@brianwj5 2 месяца назад

It's crazy how ahead of their time the Kobe line has been. I feel like OG Jordans while he was playing hit immediately when they went on sale because they changed the game. But when Kobe went to nike and switched to lows, it changed a lot of opinions of what was a great shoe for NBA players. I feel like what happened to the Kobe line during Kobe's career is what is Happening to Curry line now. Especially more recent models like 8,9... Have really changed the game with lighter, more grippy shoes... It's slowly but constantly growing as people get it.
