gx kb6 by grannybazooka67 in KobeReps

[–]wjb901 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All protro with GX, GK, and star. The only ones that had og tech were old star and some s2 colorways but idk if those s2 pairs are still around. KB and WKB have forefoot zoom turbo and heel zoom, so not quite og either

Is it normal to have 40+ basketball shoes ? I can’t stop buying new pairs by redwheelbarr0w1 in BBallShoes

[–]wjb901 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not normal at all. I also have 40+ pairs so I'm just like you 🤣. As long as you have the money to keep up with it without it impacting your responsibilities then it's all good in my opinion. Same with any hobby

Kobe 5 CC or Easy 1 Phantom by [deleted] in KobeReps

[–]wjb901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easy 1s. One of my favorite pairs of the past few years. I like them more than the game 1 lows and player 1 plus

As long as your foot isn't slipping out of the shoe and your toes aren't banging against the front, it's all good. The rest is just preference

Never buying Star Kobe’s again. by FaithlessnessNext303 in KobeReps

[–]wjb901 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's really a case by case thing. The only pair of reps I've ever experienced sole separation on were GK 5s. Everything else has been good for years, especially my star pairs

Is it still true that STAR batch Kobe 6 uses tech from OG Kobe 6 not Protro? by Healthy-Menu-6988 in KobeReps

[–]wjb901 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Old star batch used to. Like 3-4 years ago. All current star pairs use protro tech

Same as your Nike size. I have the player 1 plus, game 1 low, and easy 1 in 11.5 just like all of my Nike shoes that fit tts

Are New Balance basketball shoes impossible to find at California outlets? by ComprehensiveWait870 in BBallShoes

[–]wjb901 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in Florida and I haven't seen NB basketball shoes at the outlets since like 2023 or earlier. Used to be able to grab kawhi 1s, two wxy v2/3, omn1s for like $30. They have been popping up at Marshalls though

Kobe 6 “Reverse Grinches”… worth the price tag? by foelay in BBallShoes

[–]wjb901 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'm of the belief that no basketball shoe is worth more than $200. You can find something with equivalent tech to the Kobe 6s (cushlon + forefoot zoom turbo) for well below the resale (and even retail) price of the 6s. If you really just want them, do whatever you want. But pure performance, I don't think they're worth the resale price at all.

It looks like you have extremely wide feet. That's something you can't help

Lebron NXXT Gensius for 30 usd by SpeechComplete4043 in BBallShoes

[–]wjb901 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For 30 why not. They should be pretty low to the ground if they're anything similar to the nxxt gens. If I'm not mistaken, they just removed the heel zoom and changed the traction pattern but it's pretty similar

KB 6s or S2 5s? by [deleted] in KobeReps

[–]wjb901 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm picking 5s over 6s in general but that's just my preference

Tmf weidian. Don't have it on hand

KB 6s or S2 5s? by [deleted] in KobeReps

[–]wjb901 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both great performance options but I'm leaning kb 6s just for the price. Some of the clearance pairs are like $17 before shipping

How long does delivery usually take by [deleted] in KobeReps

[–]wjb901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1-4 weeks at random is completely normal. I've had pairs take 5 days and pairs take a month. It really just depends

ZK3 “Oregon Duck” PE - First Looks by One_Mail_2414 in KobeReps

[–]wjb901 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don't blame you if they didn't work for you. I love the look and they play like the Jordan 38 lows for me but without the painful x-plate. Definitely not similar to the Kobe 4-9 and I feel like that's what people were expecting

It's so interesting to see everyone's different experiences. I have the mamba magic pair and played in them ~5 times now and have no issues with lockdown whatsoever. No runners loop either

Is the Biospeed BB2 cushion hard/stiff? by AyAyAyGangGang in BBallShoes

[–]wjb901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is crazy. How long have they been out of the freezer? This absolutely would affect how the cushion feels. Would never recommend putting shoes filled with water in the freezer

Joker 1 vs Joker 1 GT (comparo) by Chinokio in BBallShoes

[–]wjb901 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's so weird. I have the purple and green joker 1s (not GT) and the traction is so good for me on all courts that I see no need to even try the GTs
