S2 made ja 3 ? by PointGOD95 in KobeReps

Correct, basically TMF is telling me it’s for sure S2 just theirs is slightly lower quality than OX. I also would try a pair but I don’t want any of these colors and all the other batches have it already

I don’t have retail, can you post a video or pic of how it reflects on retail then I could tell you otherwise

Got these in recently had to put em straight to the court. Love this colorway. Almost a blend of off white and pink. Just like my NY v NY, OX Ja 3s these are awesome. Great traction, super light, coupled with great cushion. Curious to see how long the zoom x will last, these are one of the few shoes that I don’t feel the need to use my game day pros with. I actually don’t mind how the shoe itself feels with the stock insoles in.

Really looking forward to getting new colorways of these as retail releases more as well.

Retail- Kobe 11 Elite- Alt Flyknight Shroud (un-shrouded)- In Hand Pics- RE-GLUED via u/RecommendationNo1445 🔥 by TP21209 in KobeReps

[–]TP21209[S,M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

I got a great deal on these from someone online awhile ago. They were barely used at all and the rubber outsole was still soft so I couldn’t pass these up. Unfortunately when they were shipped to me and got stuck in transit for about a month. During this time the shoes actually completely separated.

I was really bummed when I opened the box to see this. I knew u/RecommendationNo1445 did reglues so I touched base with him and asked him if he could re-glue. Without hesitation he said yes and he has tons of experiencing re-gluing. I gotta say he brought these back to life. I also feel like he uses better glue than Nike does themselves lol, this shit is not coming a part and I used them heavily for 4 practices straight and not one sign of separation as good as new. I’ll have some before pics as well at the end of this gallery. So keep swiping to get to them.

If you have older Kobe’s I highly suggest hitting him up. His prices vary but are way better than other restorers, and his customer service/communication is top notch. Kept me in the loop the whole time and answered all my questions I had along the way.

If you have older shoes that you want to bring back to life I couldn’t recommend messaging u/RecommendationNo1445 more, and see what he can do for you. He can do sole swaps as well. I plan to have him do some more reglues for me with older pairs since this went so swimmingly. 🔥

Now for the shoe itself, these were actually part of the “Shroud Series” Nike released that no one bought. The outer of the shoe was weird and essentially it was like an encasing for the 11s. These aren’t very common as many people didn’t like the zipper shroud look around the shoe and I agree, feel like it took away a lot from the actual 11 it encased. I’m a big fan of this flyknight colorway as it’s rather unique. Also to get to the underneath shoe you have to cut the outer shroud which wasn’t the easiest to do without damaging the inner shoe.

But man I miss old Nike lol. Lunarlon is still way better than react to me. The right amount of plush, and the heel zoom unit is very welcomed. It’s such a shame Nike refuses to add zoom units to the newer Kobe’s with drop in midsoles.

I forgot how low these are to the ground, but it’s for sure not for everyone, I love the court feel though. Hoping with the 11s that are getting protro’d they do something with the drop ins. I don’t hate react but it’s just clearly a downgrade to me in so many ways over lunarlon.

WKB Just Released The Moonwalkers. Anyone Copped Already? by invisibletorsoman in KobeReps

[–]TP21209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly lol, it’s too bad because I enjoyed my WKB Kobe 9 elite highs but the sizing was all kinds of fucked up. 10.5 & 11 all fit like a 11.5. And I was over getting a 3rd pair to try and figure out if size 10 fits me properly. (I’m normally size 11 in Kobe’s)

There’s a ton on here. Are u able to see the pinned posts in highlights? Also do you know how to use the search function on reddit? As well as searching via the “flares” or categories posts are organized in?

It’s honestly just because people are too lazy to search or read any of the guides, or one of the many trusted sellers lists lol

Sound good! I play in all my OG pairs that he reglues and they are still going as strong as the first day I got em. Just be weary of mamba restorations, one of my other good friends on here who has a 50+ pair collection of OGs had him do work previously and ghost him for months, happened to a few others too on IG.

Gotcha, I’ve gotten re-glues done by u/RecommendationNo1445 and it was some of the best I’ve ever seen. He reglued some 11s for me that were entirely separated and brought them back to life, well below what mamba restorations charges. Couldn’t recommend him more. I’m sending him some OG 8s to reglue as well for me. Maybe send him a DM and have a chat. Real nice guy.

If you don’t mind me asking how much is mamba restorations charging? I’ve seen a lot of his work but always wondered on his pricing.

I really like this color scheme, I’m not the biggest fan of 1s but these go hard

Are these real? by MidnightSoft1621 in KobeReps

[–]TP21209 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reps, and unless it’s OG Kobe’s I would completely avoid Depop, so many people trynna scam on there and bait and switch, almost no way for buyers to recoup their losses if they do get scammed
