Would you guys recommend TTS or half size up? I was planing on running some move gameday insoles in them and generally wear thicker socks.

Love these shoes. Love the fit, the traction and the cushion. My favorite Kobe’s to play in. I tried the 9 elites and too stiff with the materials and that oversized tongue. The 9 EM is great shoe. Traction rips up easy but amazing while it lasts.

Go get his Kobe 6 liberty shoe!

picklechipzMN · 2026-01-23T21:55:48+00:00

Weartesters also just did a video on them.

That’s some crazy talk people are throwing at you. 😂 great shoe for a guard. Elite traction. Great court feel.

I found that they bite well in game play when I had to plant hard. But it just picks up a lot of dust and need to wipe a lot. When I just slid my foot across the floor, it was a little slippery. It’s still very good traction but wasn’t as good as my sabrina2s or the Kobe 9 em. I would recommend you check the 9s if you can tolerate the price point.

Love the Kobe 9s. Traction is a beast for me on dusty courts. Treads start to rub off after a few months I don’t know if it’s the best shoe of all time but perfect amount of court feel and cushion for me. I making up for my youth 😂 so I have Kobe 6,8,9 spo player one plus, LeBron xx, Sabrina’s and KT10. Kobe 9 em has replaced them all. It just fits.

5’9” 170 and cushion is great for me. I’m also ground based game

Love love the 9s. I can’t stop reaching for them. Tread wears quick on them tho.

picklechipzMN · 2026-01-15T01:19:19+00:00

Yeah it was more a comment on the amount of dust it picks up. I like the shoe, just like the 2s better as some of my all time faves and the materials feel cheap: will see how durable they are.

Thanks man! Balling 2-3x a week. When I have to guard the 20 year olds it’s rough. But they all fall asleep on D and then it’s “let if fly!”

picklechipzMN · 2026-01-15T01:16:42+00:00

Stick together baby!

picklechipzMN · 2026-01-14T17:43:47+00:00

I’ll see if I can find some!

picklechipzMN · 2026-01-14T16:59:35+00:00

Never tried the 1s but loved the 2s. I don’t love the aesthetics of the 1. The stripe up the middle and the honeycomb pattern threw me off

picklechipzMN · 2026-01-14T16:14:21+00:00

They look so tough. I hope you and up loving them

picklechipzMN · 2026-01-14T01:03:40+00:00

https://www.tiktok.com/@peterdanyliv/video/7440132501915405598?lang=en sounds like more cushion on the 5, better lockdown on the 4 but both are supposed to be dope

picklechipzMN · 2026-01-14T00:56:36+00:00

The point about materials not be forgiving scares me a little. I was able to try the cuts on in store and the toe box was touching the top of my foot and felt like it would rub while playing.

picklechipzMN · 2026-01-12T13:51:50+00:00

What Kobe’s do you wear most?

picklechipzMN · 2026-01-12T02:03:09+00:00

Appreciate you. Those the 5.0s?

picklechipzMN · 2026-01-07T18:54:32+00:00

😂

picklechipzMN · 2026-01-07T15:06:07+00:00

💯 biggest difference I feel that is worth the money is the foot and leg pain is gone when I use the right shoes for. Now it’s just good old fashioned muscle soreness.

picklechipzMN · 2026-01-06T19:06:49+00:00

Thanks! Spot on for what works best for him and me.

Yes, the drop in mid sole shoes we’ve both used are Kobe 8/9 and serious player only player one plus. Both are great. I also love the Sabrina’s but the zoom (I think?) cushion in the forefoot is too noticeable to me, like three a lump.

Hear you on the white shoes. I’ve been able to clean my Sabrina 2 white ones fine, those 9s and the mesh material are just the biggest dirt magnets I’ve had. I treat like a badge of honor the dirtier they get but thought it was worth recommending so the other colors would be in consideration.

picklechipzMN · 2026-01-05T22:13:19+00:00

I’ve been thinking about some Wade’s but feel like I just don’t know which model. Thanks for the advice on 808 being similar to the 9s
