    I can openly say Chris is someone who inspires me, I see what he has built from the bottom and I hope one day through the anxiety and depression I struggle with that I can figure out what my place/purpose is. Great podcast and it's always great to see how people in the sneaker community can pull together & have personal or semi-relatable conversation with each other simply on the basis that we love sneakers. I'm from England and I know that there's millions out there around the world who would understand the passion no matter how different our walk of life has been. Also Transformers especially that G1 era is fantastic, I'm an Armada kid but the G1 stuff was what I always wanted as a kid and at 27 I'm happy to say I have the figures I wanted and I still love the feeling I get with Transformers, as Chris said it's nice to look back and know that the kid inside us has that safe space

      @@firefootwearpod well thank you, I m a wide footer and in the reviews of the 2019 models mentioned that they were very tight.

Now there are reviews that mention that they are cut wide 😅

    Couldn’t agree more, seems like there’s a flood of Kobe’s recently. As someone who lost a few raffles on the reverse grinch and girl dad’s, I wasn’t hard pressed to chase them off resell. Bought into the nostalgia factor and they seem great for hooping, but personally can’t see them breaking into my casual rotation.

    • @firefootwearpod
      @firefootwearpod 4 месяца назад

      Appreciate the watch and comment. I know for me I was probably too late to appreciate them as far as my rotation is concerned. From a hooping perspective, no doubt they are worth the money. Over-saturation isn’t solely a Kobe problem, Nike seems to be doing it with everything.
