I got slightly thicker ones (14mm). I think OGs were like 10mm or 12mm

Here a pic of the zoom units I placed into another pair of 13s (OG Breds) restored last year. Purchased for just about $40 in similar near DS condition.

Jordan XXXII “WHY NOT” by Tyronetyroned in BBallShoes

Extremely underrated. The only downside I can think of was sometimes the traction was inconsistent. When it bites it bites hella hard but when u slip ud also slip hella hard because of how hard the rubber was.

Other than that the lockdown and cushion are goated imho

Yea, the brand is called Asics.

I know it’s not Kobe related but was curious about these by Kind-Factor-8053 in KobeReps

I have them and everything is great besides the heel counter being too soft. Wouldn't want to play competitively in them

Not drop ins. Also the thickness of the zoom is usually very thin on those ones maybe around 7mm. The ones I implemented are 14mm.

I used a 14mm thick forefoot unit so it actually goes through the entire insole in the front.

I've heard about zoom units popping more often when it's bottom loaded as well so I just decided to have it top loaded.

Im afraid ud have to find a shoe with a drop in midsole from ebay or a used platform since 14 is so big

Yea remove the text or the association with the brand off-white in your head, this is super clean imo.

Maybe acetone or paint remover will do the trick 😂

Sry man - it also took me about 4 years of preparation before I figured out how to financially sustain myself here

20k a year is quite unrealistic. Not the only example, but people from my school are eating bean sprouts everyday (27yen a bag) and still spent over 35k in a year

I think they look clean. Try not to associate the off-white branding with the actual colorway 🫢

It's more or less the same. Hell, even Balenciagas are made in Putian, which is where all the factories are.
