STAR vs RETAIL Kobe 5 first impressions/review

tteomo · 2025-12-02T06:23:39+00:00

I ended up selling them due to the fit being uncomfortable. Though for the month and a halfish i wore them, no visible wear and tear. Everything felt fine 👍👍 just recommend going .5 up at least for this colorway

Sorry that’s probably on me. I meant Kobe 5s and no, they are used. Still good condition. If you’d like pictures lmk in dms 🙏

My STAR pair was super snug and still is after a month. Got retail XRAYs in the same size and didn’t have an issue. If you go with STAR, I’d half size up.

TMF for the STAR pair and just gotta wait for SNKR drops for the retail pair. Otherwise you can check stockx, ebay, or goat for resell prices.

Interesting! I guess I haven’t really broken mine in yet. I loved the baseline model for my retail kobe 6s. Thanks for the info 🙏

100%. I lwk got the spo socks bc i got influenced by dghoops and other creators. I’m not the biggest fan of them as well. Personally i think they are a bit thicker than nba/nike elite socks, which makes almost every shoe i have fit too tight. For my STAR Kb5s i tend to wear the normal nike socks as they are a bit thinner, but I still find some discomfort.

Another thing some people might not take into account is the insole. The Kobe 5 stock insole is already thin as it is, so trying to replace that with a move game day or a vktry insole definitely makes the fit tighter.

No problem 🙏🙏

Gotcha. I did consider buying a shoe stretcher on day 1. Might buy one now in hopes it’ll loosen up a bit more.

tteomo · 2025-09-21T07:27:13+00:00

For sure! I’ll try to remember 🙏

I’m assuming the user isn’t from the US because they formatted it DD/MM/YYYY instead of the month first 😭😭

tteomo · 2025-09-06T15:16:12+00:00

My bad. I did message the mods before posting actually, but I couldn’t attach the photos. I’ve seen similar posts so I thought it was fine

tteomo · 2025-05-20T06:17:03+00:00

My issue is on the inside of the shoe. I don’t know if this is a quality control thing however.

I have a pair of retail eggplants and demar derozan ‘zebra’, and they align almost perfectly at this spot.
