    Sorry y'all, but I don't think that I've ever liked any Kobes I've seen.

    I get compliments on them all the time from non-basketball fans. And my white ones.

    I don't like that burlap texture.

    I guess I'm too old school

    Strange upper heel "piece/shape" on these new ones. Will give them a closer look when they hit the stores ;-).

    $90 at Foot Locker right now. $160 on Nike.com These are the shoes Kuzma and Lonzo wore in the 3rd game of Summer League.

    www.stockX.com

    You can buy or bid on shoes. The seller sends to them. They confirm they are new and authentic. Then they re-send to you and at that point you are charged for them.

    I bid $90 on some Kobe Carpe Diem's because the pair I wear are getting worn out. We'll see if I get them. at that price, I'm not hopeful, but I set the bid date to end tomorrow (you can pick 1 day, 30 days, etc).

    That website is amazing!

    I don't know the name of any shoe I like other than it's brand, but I love that I might be able to find a shoe I loved from years ago

    My latest purchase.

    [​IMG]

    Jordan 12 retro low.

    I'm not the biggest Jordan fan (player or shoes), but they are more comfortable than any other basketball shoe (IMO).

    I love looking at sneakers, but not buying them.

    Today Lavar Ball said they're revamping the ZO2s for release. Basically they used Summer League as a testing ground for their product with Lonzo. He asked for some adjustments and they're making them before actually shipping the shoes out. They opted for more functionality (lighter).

    Big improvement IMO. Still not paying $500 though.

    Still looks like a Kobe shoe, but I like Kobe's shoes so I like it.

    Funny thing is, you buy these at $500 now. If he blows up, these things will be worth a lot more than that afterwards.

    Agree. Especially the $1000 signed pair. Imagine having a pair of original Jordans that were signed and he never sold the Jordan 1's ever again after the initial sell. Obviously I don't expect Lonzo to live up to Jordan, but if he's Hall of Fame at the end of his career, those $1000 shoes are worth big money.

    BBB apparently didn't ship the glass boxes w/ the LED lighting with them and got caught. Apparently, they're sending the boxes later this month to the buyers.



    Anyone going to steal these? :Kobe Snickering:
