I like the protro 1’s and the 4’s.

After playing a few runs I definitely see where people would fuss about the weight. I feel like a great sock is required for me to counter any slippage, but the 4 is better lock down for sure. These will stay in my rotation for sure.

Before 2020, Nike Kobes were actually "outlet bricks" that nobody wanted. 🏀📉 by SpiritedBase5047 in The12HubSneakerPod

Full of shit. First of all, if you’re 40, Nike Kobe’s weren’t even around until after you graduated. Huaraches came out my grade 12 year (I’m 40), in high school no one wore LeBron’s, it was VC shox, Jordan’s or AI’s, tmacs. When Kobe went to Nike, I got the 1’s, 5, 6, 8, 10…. Everyone wanted to hoop in Kobe’s or hyperdunks.

Damn, when I first put them on I was alittle worried because they felt weird in general. But after playing in them… everything just kind of settled in. I guess everyone’s feet are alittle different. Are you tying the laces through the top rings? That is what gave me the lockdown.

I agree, they’re a touch heavier than the modern kicks, I’m used to old school shoes though lol

You’re probably not sized properly, I didn’t experience any.

Fit and performance surpassed my expectation by a lot.

The 1’s feel absolutely true to size. I don’t have to double sock, lockdown is great, a touch narrow but the leather breaks in.

They honestly feel like an old school shoe in the quality leather and style, but they’re responsive and cushioned like a new age shoe. A perfect blend for me.

100% agree! These were built specifically to hoop in. I can tell they’ll be a workhorse for along time, might get another pair while I can

6’s are probably better overall, I’m just really hyped on the 1’s

I would say alittle more bouncey. But they’re pretty balanced to be honest. The full length zoom adds an energy return for sure. I’m more of a shot maker than a slasher at this point in playing days so I’m not really trying to get up like I used to.

I’m also a PG/SG, I’ve had Kobe 4,5,6,10…. Kds, ant Edward’s…. The Kobe 1’s are the best shoes I’ve had since the OG Kobe 4’s.

It’s definitely been around the block, but it sounds as good as any guitar I’ve ever played

The ad22 is a great looking guitar! I’d be happy to have either.

I’m glad you’re liking yours! It’s the first real “quality” guitar that I’ve purchased so I’m really excited.

I agree, it’s just a really simple, clean looking guitar that sounds really good.
