The Most DISAPPOINTING Basketball Sneaker of the Year 

It’s my birthday guys! Can I get a like in this video?

I’ve gotten over the no FLZ fiasco; I’m more upset over the lack of OG colorways

really unfortunate, could've been a really special shoe

Dope review. I appreciate the perspective. I love these but the way you put it makes sense. Especially for the hike in price

Hi Jahronmon, been watching you for a couple of years ever since you were making videos alongside Nightwing2303! Still think you’re the most underrated sneaker channel! Happy Blessed Birthday my guy! 🎂

Happy Birthday, man. Posting on your bday. Way to hustle. P.S. They better NOT mess up the Kobe 6's. Those were the best hoop shoes IMO.

I like how you actually played in your shoes, and gave us your honest solid review, unlike some reviewers who got the shoes early played in them for 5 secs and then gave us their scripted reviews

Dude, you're for real my favorite sneaker review channel. Not even close. I've tried others but they get on my nerves a little lol. Keep it up. Just wanted to show some love.

To respect a shoe. It is best to re-release a true form exact retro...Then go PRO-Tro...

I would definitely change the cushion and maybe flywire as well, but I think they might have used that synthetic leather originally to make the shoe lighter in 2009 to begin with.

Shouldve protro'd the price point

Happy bday Jah💯💯have a good one

I'd gladly pay $175 for another pair in 2023

So I've been play in these for a couple months and yes the traction was really nice, the cushioning set up wasn't bad. In my opinion they are good performance sneakers but just... you know, not really "Protro". It's just not making me feel comfortable for asking that much money. Well, I still say it's not a loss cuz they still one of the best from last decade. Paying for good memories lol

So, you rated the original IV as being the best Kobe model, above newer signature models, but then you're disappointed the re-release was pretty much a 1:1? Doesn't make much sense.

Happy birthday to Jah, praying for a speedy heal on those feet

only disappointing for me was the price i could careless the rest, it works for me then it’s working for me now !!!!

nike: forgets theres no full length zoom everyone: peace was never an option

Damn ya voice sounds so more clearer, ion know what Yu did to get that mucus out, but keep that shit up. Yu finally sound clear. Easy to listen to again.

Most underrated channel on RU-vid... happy birthday

With all the retained features this should've just been called a "re-release" lol

Little did he know how much those skyrocketed on resale.

Are you ever going to review the pg 3? You’re the only reviewer that I really trust and the pg 3 has the most mixed and uncertain reviews but they seem perfect for me,except the fit. Hoping you will since you mentioned them in the video

Lol the accuracy. Avery Bradley just got injured today wearing these shoes

Facts...I keep telling myself that I'm just glad to finally have these...basically the equivalent of a Jordan retro for me...I'm hoping they bring back the 6s soon. Favorite performance kobes of all time right there. Ps, happy bday bruh.

how come, yet there are a lot of NBA players using that shoes this season.

Hi mate, how do you rate the fit? Are they true to size or run small?

how come Kobe 4 protro is $180 on Nike and $175 everywhere else

I get what you saying, you would want to have seen upgrades to the IV’s with all the tech that Nike has floating around and also the price they put on them. But from a basketball stand point IMO it really isn’t a disappointing performer. As of rite know these are my go-to shoes to hoop in over my kyrie 5’s. The Disappoint is calling them a protro when Nike did the bare minimum to the tech of these Kobe’s. I hope they don’t mess up the 8’s tho. Matter of fact I would be happy if they would just re-release them as is, ha.

Hey man, can you please make a performance video about the Adidas Probounce Madness (Core Black/Red), I know it's late but please 🙏 I hope you notice this ♥️

Totally agree with you, @jahronmon! There is nothing can explain the significantly increased price for the same tech specs as an original model. P.S. Happy birthday! Wish you all the best!

they really are, they messed up my heels because of the horrible insoles with no support

175$ for a sneakers with a lot of plastic in the upper, especially Nike can update the leather quality in the fore foot area. Synthetic leather on Kobe 4 protro looks really cheap. Similarly with Nike, it seems like you are spending 1000$ on a 64gb storage mobile phone from brand A in 2019

Dope shirt bruh!

I really don't care about the lack of cushion. I'm just happy I got to get a Kobe 4. Didn't get one back in the day. The one thing that was disappointing was the lack of more colorways.

You gotta do a review of the new jordan shoe that dropped!

I got the UNDFTD Black Mamba colorway and they feel cushy. This is my first non full length zoom bball shoe in about 2 years also

they canceled the lunaron on the protro

Cant wait kobe 8 re-release

you can’t change the upper, the upper has to look exactly the same as the og. changing up the material on the upper with a fly kit or mesh is not a protro... just a new version of that shoe. but they could’ve changed the cushion or changed the leather to real leather.

happy birthday jah

Couldn't agree more especially because of the price, I have these and because of the no forefoot zoom I have ordered the new Jordan 34's!!

Protro 1 still the go-to

I used to like these when It released first time. This clip lets me re-think again.😭In your opinion, Should I play on Kobe 4 protro or try the Zoom Freak? Thank you if you would give me an answer😊😊

Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday jarron!

Didnt Kobe said that he wantes it to look eactly the same as 10 years ago for all the protros? Isnt that why he agree the retro idea? I feel like the only way to upgrade would be cushion and some materials in some area that would still look the same

Lol

how mamy times you take it before you got it haha

i love your shirts men! i love that movie one man cant jump

Got a pair of those myself. Could not agree with you more. Cushioning on the forefoot sucks

Putting the lying issue and the price aside, would you consider the shoe itself a top performer in the market today?

Why don't sneaker reviewers understand the need for professionals to nee good heal impact protection? On step back and fadaway jumpers, players NEED good heal cushion for impact protection. There is nothing wrong with the Kobe 4 other than the name that suggests its different to the original. If you liked the original then why should this be so disappointing? It may be disappointing to you, but to the market and players, I don't think so. It just didn't match your expectations J.

I 'm agree with you... It's only a piece of plastic. Nothing else for 180€.

Even though there isn’t full length zoom; Nike added injected phylon instead of the infamous bottoming out lunarlon in the forefoot, and a better rubber compound for the outsole. They enhanced a great shoe, get the recently release FTB version for premium materials.

The originals in 2009 were great, and still are the best....they didn’t need full length anything to be the number 1 shoes ever produced.

RIP KOBE

A damn shame.

Best channel ever

Why do you play so good in the clips where you review kicks while you don’t play good on the NBA Playmakers channel?

Playing ball against MIT scholars??? Haha

Use to love nikes all they're shoes are narrow. And they come apart after a couple months like adidas pro bounce better support then again im 6'5 240lb. Size 16 shoe nike dont make alot of big sz shoes always gotta get a sz. Up with any nike shoe

Don’t mess with the tech in the IV...it was and still is great!

Agree! Shame on you nike :(

now that is a rare kobe. kobes gone

He doesnt like the shoe because its not for him its for kobe. For his information nike dont care about him unless kobe said something about it. Tell him to talk to nike to have own signiture shoes not complaining about other people shoes

0:36 he has Kd / curry range.

I have these from 2008 or 2009 I’m not 100% but I also got the Kobe proto 6 black del sol from 2010

Kobe No-tro's are like Kobe's last season in the league. Yikes. Nike portraying their best rendition of the Peoples Republic of North Korea on these revised 4's = take it or leave it, even if you have to suffer and be famished.

Damn! Dude. I just remembered your Curry 5 Intro. You nailed that long 3 in your first shot. But in this video I see you taked "many" tries to replicate that intro.😅

I wish Nike won't bother to proto the waffle shoes

Nahh bro. You aint dissin these again.

Happy birthday. So I grabbed the zoom gp.

Yes. 🙂

jahronmon what is your height

Two things ... what brand shorts are those? And number two, that comp you’re playing looks like trash haha

Don’t blame Nike. Blame the hype beasts and resellers. Nike knew the moment Kobe died (RIP) they could have used ground up styrofoam cups for the cushion because regardless, they would sell out seconds after they released. So why cut into their margins with updated tech when they will sell anyway... Kobe wouldn’t have let that fly.

Wait so is it a bad shoe?

Hell yeah i bought the undefeated and there awful

RIP

they look fine and the are good i have a pair and have no problems

Cool

I love the kobe 4!!!

U trippin

Overpriced and disappointing 😔

1st ?

Kobe 4 mà phế nhất ?

First

Oof and now he's dead😳

Đánh mày đấy

trying too hard with clickbait Mr. TrueSize8.5not10

i feel like u be hatin on every shoe that comes out

Don't grow yo hair man, you look sick.

Stop crying, plenty of NBA players prefer this shoe. There is not anything wrong with it. Why take the risk with your awful ideas. If you can't afford it then don't buy.

jahronmon its my birthday on oct 3 could you send me something

Kobe shoes is an ugly shoes too much expensive but not a performance shoes.
