THE BEST NIKE KOBE SHOE 

rest in peace to a legend and to a legend in the making kobe and gigi will be missed

R.I.P kobe Bryant.

Dear Kobe, I started watching you as soon as you hit the league. I watched you dominate the league. I watched you get RINGS in the league. I watched you get hurt in the league. I watched you bounce back better than ever in the league. I watched you leave the league. Then, I watched you get an Oscar out of the league. I watched you be a GREAT father, husband and a teacher. Just by watching you throughout your career I've learned soooooo much. To that I say..... THANK YOU KOBE, FOR EVERYTHING! #Mamba #Lakers #GOAT R.I.P....... TO ALL THAT PAST AWAY IN THE ACCIDENT. LOVE!💜💛

That AD "after death" really does have a meaning now :/

Yo man I feel like you really hit your stride with the channel! I like the more chill format with your wife in the background and y’all having more of a conversational vibe going on. It’s dope man thanks for continually providing awesome content.

Kobe 4 - game changer Kobe 6 - best overall Kobe 8 - best minimal b-ball shoe Kobe 9 - best traction Kobe NXT 360 - best cushion (React) and minimal

Agree. 6 and 8 is my all time favorite. Copped my Protro last week but haven't got a chance to break them in. Appreciate all this man...

I agree. The Kobe line is amazing. Loved my 5, 6, 10, and 11’s. Excited for the 4 protro. 👌🏽

Yes. Kobe 6 is also my all time fav hoop shoe. Love these Real Talk series. Keep up the great work!

Another solid video, man. Seeing you look back on these shoes recently has made me realize how long you've been at this and been putting out solid content. Would also love to see a Lebron video like this. Keep up the great work!🤙🏽

Might be tha most honest RU-vidr EVER-BIG Facts!!

Hell yea! Kobe 6 is definitely my all time favorite go to shoe. Bought 4 pairs back in the day and cant wait for the protro. Only negative i have say is that the traction burns out very quickly. But until then you are golden

I’ve hopped in the Venomenom 9’s and the Protro 1’s. I use the Venomenom 9’s more because I wear my Protro’s casually. Love your channel and your laid back approach. You’re super knowledgeable not just about the history of the shoes but the design, fabric, ect. Keep up the good work!

This real talk videos are🔥🔥🔥

I smiled when the Kobe 8 came up. Not only was that the shoe to get me back into basketball after over a decade, it was when I first found Nightwing's reviews. The shoes came out December 2012 and I've been hooping consistently since January 2013.

Man I just started hooping again after 4 or so years. I love your channel. First pair I bought coming back was the PG2 in the mamba mentality colorway. Love those. My all time favorite shoes I’ve ever played in were the Kobe 1 and Kobe 2. It’s a shame they’re not protroing the 2’s they’re beasts. I’m in the process of trying to pick up the Kobe 1 protros. Honestly dude you kill these videos, nobody does shoe reviews even close to as good. Keep it up!

Great vid as always, I personally like how kobe 2's looks on feet, with cargo shorts, 🔥

i love you Nightwing for doing this. Kobe line is the best!

Thank you for everything and rest in peace Kobe and Gigi.

I feel u on all your picks bro , I love 9’s & 8’s , great video

Love yo list bruh. Another dope detailed review! RIP KOBE

Really sad all the Kobe shoes went up crazy in price...was savin up for a pair of protro 1s. Wanted to get them as my first Kobe shoe because he is the reason I play basketball...it will still be worth the $300 minimum that they are now. They will be worth whatever they cost because Kobe was an absolute legend, and we will all miss him forever. #MambaOut

The Kobe 1 will always be my favorite for looks and performance, I've had 2 pairs of the originals and they were best I've ever played in. I now have the Protro but haven't played in them yet but the Kobe 1 will always be my favorite sneaker to play in.

Great vid Chris, keep this fire up 🏀🔥

The kobe 6 is my fav kobe all time, I had like 5 pairs of thoes and love them to death! great video!

Real talk 🤘🏻

First pair of Kobe signature shoes i bought were the KB8 Crazy 8s by Adidas and those were so comfortable and durable. still have them to this day. RIP Mamba.

Dope video learned a lot about each kobe model

Great Video as always 🤟🏼

The NXT 360s are incredible...but I wish they used Zoom air instead of React for the cushion. Traction and durability have not been an issue in the year that I've had them.

omg my father got me a Kobe 6 when I was in high school and I love everything about it. The first time I played in those i slipped as hell but it performed so nice that I never found anything that can beat it (maybe harden 1 is close )I like Kobe so much and I like Kobe shoes so much. Goat for sneaker man

Ah the 6, my favorite hoop shoe of all time! Loved that thing, and had some of my best days in those.

Totally agree on the Kobe VI! Still my favorite shoes of all time.

Love your reviews bro, regards from 🇵🇦😎

1. Kobe 8 2a. Kobe 6 2b. Kobe 9 4. Protro 1 Suuuper curious/excited for the Protro 4's. It's gonna shuffle my top 5 around for sure.

I had the Kobe 10 EM’s and I actually liked them quite a bit. Traction was good and they were super comfy even though they were a half size small at the time

I wish I was a part of this video discussion, so cool and it’s been the only shoe line I have worn with the exception of the Kobe 1

I only ever hooped in one pair of kobes and they were a pair of the suede year of the snake 8s in freshman year of highschool and they were the best hoop shoe i ever had and hooped in (In my area there is no indoor gym unless its at a school so when i bought casual shoes i also hooped in them so what i wore majority of the time is retro nikes or trainers)

My first Kobe shoes were the ZK6 Christmas ones and I loved them so much.

Idk why but I love it when Mrs.nightwing is involved in your video.. u guys looks awesome together =D

Dope vid. So saw this vid a while back but decided to check it out again. You should so more ranking vids like this. Hella entertaining. Iverson or T-Macs should be next 😉

Looking forward to the Kobe V Protro if they ever come out with it, especially in the Black/White Del Sol colourway. One of my favourite shoes of all time.

You got my sub dude. Keep it real 👍🏽 I have what I call the mint chocolate chip Kobe AD. So far it’s my favourite hooping shoe. Depending on how I wanna play I switch between those and my high top drose 5s. (Not really a guy that purchases too many ball shoes until I need to)

Nice vid bro❤️

Hope you get a chance to play in the 3 soon. Pretty sure it'll jump your list to around the Kobe V/IV spots. Very underrated. The 2 felt similiar to the 1 but were more rigid imo despite the use of the Free system. Still an awesome shoe

Great video man! I love your honesty, as always!! Also, Mrs. Nightwing is really "humble" at the end of the video lol

This is what I needed

kobe 4 and 5 are my top 2. Best looking and performing kobe shoes ever!!!

sorry 4 your loss ,i can tell you were truly a fan.

Ive had both the kobe 11s (elite and em) and the ad nxts, but overall I enjoyed playing the 11 ems much more. My feet felt great and it had AMAZING traction and support. I wish I bought more of the EM's while they were still avalible!

Love this list! Nice Video Nightwing!

So sad they are not doing protro for the kobe 2s. I played in one of the 3 versions when they came out, the upper was stiff but once broken in it was actually more flexible than the kobe 1s. The one I had retroed in the fade to black pack and prelude pack was the Ultimate with 1 velcro. The Strength had 2 velcros and the Lite had none. Back in the days all my sneakers were done too quickly as I mostly played outdoors. It was the only option in China as gyms are rarely open to public. When they are open it would be too hot in the summer with no AC. We used to hoop on asphalt and during summer it would get so hot that I felt the asphalt was softening my landings... Or maybe I was just too dehydrated and hallucinated. My personal favorite in the line is the 8s, especially the superhero green ones. The regular lunar ones like the christmas are good but at that time lunar bottoms out kinda quick, and I was also a lot heavier... Not an ideal combination. The scaled ones were bad, like I cannot even look at them bad. To me they were the worst-looking kobes followed by the kobe 6&11 3d, for similar reasons. The ad mid would probably be the worse for me performance-wise, out of all pairs I have tried on. I did not get them as they fitted my narrow feet really poorly being slightly short and wide. But my friend found them to fit very well. And the cushion set up also happen to be great for her. People have differently shaped feet and different shoes fit different people. My two best friends have complete opposite feet types with me and we tend to like complete different shoes. We are still friends and we would suggest shoes to each other all the time.

Nike Kobe 4 Proto Snake and the Adidas Kobe 1 are my favorite Kobe Shoes. I had a pair of both of these when I played Mens League Ball and they were comfortable and looked great. What more can a guy ask for in a shoe .

I'm really surprised that the Protros didn't make your #1, however I can see why the top two were ranked the way they were. You did convince me to buy the Protro 1 and I thank you for it!!

Kobe 11 and 6 are the only signature Kobe’s I’ve owned. I think this list severely underrates the 11 elite. The Kobe 11 elite is the best basketball shoe I have ever owned imo and I have a translucent outsole too lol. The 6 is the other pair I owned and those were very good shoes but the inside wore down on me and that heel cup started coming through the shoe. I think the 11 elite is just better for durability and cushion. Personally I don’t think there is a better shoe ever made than the Kobe 11 for my feet but it depends on what you like.

This was awesome.

My best bball shoe was my Kobe AD Exodus, the grip was tight, the uppers were damn supportive, and shit it felt like it was a part of my feet.

I’ve tried all the Kobe since the Kobe 5, all the way to the AD Mid. Gotta say, you’re right! THE KOBE LINE IS THE MOST CONSISTENT.

RIP Kobe Bean Bryant 🐐 Kobe 6s 👌

100% agree with the Kobe6, i miss wearing those shoes on and off the court. I hope nike they make it available everytime 😐

I like the 7 I'm not mad at u 😁😁 but keep rocking them nice hoodies love your videos keep it up and I like how u got your wife more involved in your videos

7 and 8 are my favorites. Those are the Kobes I would wear even off the court.

I still use my old Kobe VI shoes :) they still rock!

Got a NIke ID Kobe 11 with full length Zoom. The flyknit has started to tear in places though...so I ended up putting the FL Zoom drop in into my Kobe 8. That is a killer combo.

Loved this video man. The only thing i don't like about kobe's, is that most of them aren't made for outdoor use (And that they're hell up expensive). I'm hoping you'll make a video of the Air Jordan line, and the lebron line

Just purchased the Kobe 1 Protro ‘blackout’and waiting for it to arrive! You made my day lol! 😅 Planning to purchase the All Star version, what do you think of those?

I’m shocked! Thought the Protro was the best, but maybe because I’m biased about it. 😅 The only sneakers review channel that will give you real facts, sure knowledge, not opinionated and truly tested reviews also. Do what you do man. More powers!

I hated playing in the 2s so bad I gave them away to a friend. No ventilation and gave me rash. I bought my younger bro one and he is still playing ball in them after all these years. He loves it but he is a high jumper while I am not. Haha shows how shoes are different for different people even brothers.

I dig the 5's. Hooped a good amount in the "Inks". Loved to hoop in them. Had to sell them because my feet widened out a bit. My homie hoops in them now.

Those Easter and Christmas Kobe 8s man I still wish I had a pair

I've got the Kobe 11 TB in purple w/the icy blue soles + Kobe AD TB navy blue w/silver. Love both..

I’ve only played in 1 Kobe . The Kobe 11 alts . I got them at the Nike outlet. They had a gray shroud that I cut off the show the beautiful multicolor upper with a all black tongue and logo. They are one of my favorite looking Kobe’s . But I played in them 1 day for 3 hours and they hurt my toes. I do love them casually though.

6,7 and 8 are my favorite love them

The kobe 6’s are definitely THE BEST!! I got 6 colorways. Hope they would retro soon coz I’ll buy them again.

The 9 is my favorite low shoe of all time like hands down! But with a rubber sole tho!

My son loves the original Kobe AD, swears by them, and has had his best shooting games in them.

Kobe V Varsity red is my first ever shoe I ever bought with my own money. I was grade 6 that time

I remember them Kobe 6 man. It was the time I started hooping and it was first sneakers I have ever got. they rocked really hard and made me think that all basketball shoes are nice like Kobe 6.

I got 2 kobe X's and i love them man. On and off the court. I have a Kobe XI draft day but i havent worn them yet. I just dont feel like playing with it because the sole can get dirty in a heartbeat.

Yes u said it I came up on leather shoes I really can't rock these shoes I play in retro basketball shoes because that's all I played in back in the late 80s to my senior year of high school 1994 all different brands and converse had a lot of models to so I'm Happy u said that you can play in leather shoes

My Favorites Was The Kobe 9 Elite High And They Were The Best Basketball Shoe To Hoop In back In 14-15 And Had The Best Damn Traction Ever. The Engineering Mesh Version had It Too. And The Low Elite And High Elite. So That's My Best Kobe Sneaker.

I have the Kobe 9 gumbo, bhm’s and Christmas edition to me the best Kobe’s ever made 💯 I rock em to the gym to workout in

Kobe 1,2,3,4,5,6 amazing shoes!!! My favorite is the kobe 3 especially outdoors kobe 3 is the best👌hope they bring it back!!!

My Kobe Mentality 2s creased and tore after just a few months of play. Great fitting and nice traction though.

Good video; now my question is would you put any of the Adidas Kobe over your Nike picks and or formulate a list that includes the Adidas Kobe line?

Yo i was like YES NIGHTWING POSTED! KYRI- oh mamba. Works too i guess... But still impatiently waiting for kyrie 5 review to drop 😂😂

84 pairs of the Kobe VI since they hit. I’ve never played in anything else since. Best shoe ever made for my foot. Have you found anything that you can put on par with them in a low top? I’m still buying them used whenever I find them on EBay at a fair price.

My favorites are the 4s and 8s. I played everywhere in my 4s and they lasted me over a year which no shoes can now. The 8s were just a little below the 4s for me.

Looking forward for lebron line :) No doubt the best shoe tester.

I agree with everything you said about the Kobe line. All the later models are shit basically with the exception of the 9's. The best Kobe's were the 5 through 1. The other thing that's weird is that the Kobe's went from a heavy duty boot like sneaker to slippers!! My favorite Kobe's are the 1's hands down!

Yeah I'm kinda like wtf when it comes to waiting around for the Kobe 2's....I need them Kobe 2 Carpe Diem .....totally a grail that i need not to mention those were the shoes I watched Kobe play in back in 2007 against Boston....Such an awesome night I'll never forget!!

Right, right there with you, Chris. Kobe 6 all day.

kyrie line been my go to, but the kobe 9's are my favourite all time. i got rid of all my kyries and been growing my mamba collection, just picked up the 4 protro's (undftd black mamba colorway) and the traction sucks :/ on dusty courts any way

Will You do another in Memory of Kobe? Much Love man #RIPMAMBA #MAMBAOUTBUTNEVERFORGOTEN

still miss this legendary man, rip kobe, mamba 24ever

The Kobe 9s hands down the best basketball shoe I ever played in everything about that shoe is Great. Nike bring that shoe back please

Just got a deal on the kobe ad mid and it's my first pair of kobe's ever

I love when Ms. Wing talks in the video it adds a lot of personality and it's just really chill

More hits then misses 🐐🐐🐐🐍🐍
