Niceeee Fit!!!

Very nice fit, I usually get these in a 9, but very glad I went a half size up.

Snug And Stiff, Get .5 Higher

These felt stiff and narrow when I went true to size. The insole feels undersized. When stepping with them it’s like the inner ankle is stepping over it if that makes sense, almost walking lopsided leaning to one side. The .5 increase made a big difference, just need to make sure shoes are tightened. I love the sticky insole for less movement while playing. The stiffness will require a week or 2 to break in. Not the best Kobe but serviceable. The outsole has great traction.

Improve The Kobe Line.

All these protro rereleases have been really underwhelming. Kobe’s vision was about improving, yet after his death his shoe did the opposite. Zoom units were taken out in some models, This very model that I bought pretty much made a lateral movement from a cushlon drop in midsole to a react drop in. For the price point can we get at least one zoom units in the drop in midsole?

Sleek

Sleek, love the "resilience" label. Forgot how Kobe's fit a bit too snug. Order a half size up and you should be good. Comes with 2nd set of laces, purple, cool.

Finally No Bots

Love the shoe. The most comfortable Kobe I have gotten so far. I go up a half size on all Kobe’s and Jordan’s. Nike just needs to release more Kobe’s like they did with this one. Also add captcha to their limited releases. Should not be that hard to buy a pair of shoes you want to actually wear. And you fans need to stop paying resellers above what Nike actually charges for these. You are feeding the beast.
