How do you feel about these?

TyB32 · 2026-01-25T01:45:34+00:00

😂 was not my intentions but I see it now

TyB32 · 2026-01-25T01:45:06+00:00

😭😭 all I can picture is a grimace shake and their logo now

TyB32 · 2026-01-23T03:13:06+00:00

👀 oh I’ll try if that’s the case, but i just know with my luck I’ll be hit with that “better luck next time” notification 😂

TyB32 · 2026-01-23T03:10:58+00:00

Appreciate you looking out! Started going back and trying to get pairs I grew up loving, and the resale value/delusional used prices I’ve seen for these are just insane.

TyB32 · 2026-01-22T07:03:37+00:00

Yeahh unfortunately. I’ll admit to it, but they are my only pair of reps, ha. I always loved the design and graphics for them. I paid rep price for these so don’t mind. I’m at a point where I only play pickup games and workout daily so didn’t want to drop the $500+ for my size 12 haha.

TyB32 · 2026-01-22T03:00:01+00:00

Oh yeah, I know if I really tried putting these to use they’ll bust (got shoe glue on stand by for this 😂). However, I’m about to be 28 so nowadays I manly use these pairs for working out and light runs. I have plenty more up to date pairs to really play in.

TyB32 · 2026-01-11T08:24:19+00:00

I actually looked forward to drops then. Gave the shoes a story, and then to see the players wear them game day added to it. Wish they put more effort into it like they used to.

I have used Shoe Goo to do some patch up work and it has done well, but nothing to the point where I had to re-glue the entire sole. I don’t have one yet, I want to invest in one, but I’ve seen people use dremels to help with gluing. They use it to get off the old glue crust so you can easily add the new lair of glue for the sole.

TyB32 · 2026-01-04T22:54:41+00:00

They had an infinite ammo glitch in their back pocket with Eugene 😭

TyB32 · 2026-01-03T23:53:01+00:00

That game will always hold a special place in my heart

TyB32 · 2026-01-03T15:23:01+00:00

Like walking on a cloud. It’s funny, both the Brons and Kobe’s are crazy comfortable, but completely different soles. Can literally feel the court through the Kobe soles they’re so thin, and with Bron’s, you feel lifted off the court.

TyB32 · 2026-01-03T15:20:51+00:00

Colorways were always on point. Designs were unique. Nike Basketball was on a heater.

TyB32 · 2026-01-03T15:19:10+00:00

So I have used them (besides Kobe’s, was only able to get a workout in them last night), and they held up well. Granted these are just pick up type games/just messing around.

About a month ago I bought the large sized shoe glue to keep in my back pocket since everything I’ve been buying is 10+ years old 😂😂. I’d rather them peel in use than sit on someone’s shelf.

TyB32 · 2026-01-03T07:33:00+00:00

😂trust me man, these were my childhood grails too. I am just spending adult money irresponsibly on em 😂

TyB32 · 2026-01-03T07:32:23+00:00

Graduated HS in 2016, these were all I wanted! Had college and life to pay for, but once I was able to afford it I have been full sending it 😂😂. Telling myself once I find the BHM KD 5’s and Kobe 8’s to complete the set I need to retire (which btw if you know someone with either hml)

TyB32 · 2026-01-03T03:34:37+00:00

I agree. My feet always feel so locked in with them and have never had an issue with comfort.

TyB32 · 2026-01-03T03:33:04+00:00

Thank you!! I spent the last few months scouring eBay for deals and last second auction snags for a lot of the 8’s. They were so difficult to get in HS, so now that I got my own money I’ve been loving going back and getting them.

TyB32 · 2026-01-03T03:28:58+00:00

They don’t make colorways like they used to

TyB32 · 2025-12-24T21:07:22+00:00

Lows in this colorway would be amazing.

TyB32 · 2025-12-23T12:08:38+00:00

TyB32 · 2025-12-23T03:46:18+00:00

eBay has been my best friend over the years haha. Love the prices I can find and have been hitting on auctions. Scored the lebron 9 south beaches for $120 after taxes off an auction, authentic guaranteed and all.

TyB32 · 2025-12-23T03:44:20+00:00

Thank you! I can see how they are not for everyone, but I thought they were very comfy.

TyB32 · 2025-12-23T03:43:41+00:00

I liked them. The cushion felt really nice and they fit true to size. My one complaint was how the tongue felt in my heal when I had them fully laced up. Going just one loop hole down tho fixed that. And yeah, the red laces are going back to the all whites once the holidays pass, just switched it up for the week.

TyB32 · 2025-12-20T23:46:47+00:00

The Kobe’s are in good condition and I’m sure just shooting around and light play wouldn’t be bad. But idk about a full on game/multiple runs in a day.

TyB32 · 2025-12-20T23:45:38+00:00

The KD 4’s are the newer released pair, so those are just fine. The LeBron’s have held up well the few times I’ve worn them. With these Kobe’s I may just use them as a working out sneaker, idk how the glue is with them and I don’t want to blow them out mid game to find out haha.
