My very first pair of Kobe is the Kobe 5 OG (not the Protro) back in 2010. That was the All Star colourway launched in February, and I was still able to make the Kobe purchase 3 months later in May at the Nike store on shelfs.
Was able to triple up on these at my local retailers here in the SF/Bay Area. Played in them yesterday and they look fire on feet and on court performance was top notch! Went TTS (9M) and had no issues.
Yeah I just picked up my third pair now. For anyone in the SF/Bay Area looking for these Sheikh Hayward still has 7.5M-11M. They close at 8pm so pretty sure they'll all still be available tomorrow morning.
My 1st kobe shoes Kobe 5 Eggplant but im looking forward to kobe 6 🔥 i think kobe 5 and 6 is the best kobe shoes series in terms of performance also and looks 😅
They just cleaned it. You should watch my other videos, it’s disgusting and a community center court where little kids run around every day in it after being outside
Just got a pair in Taiwan. Kobe Protros aren't allowed to try on at the retailer. I normally wear size US11 when it comes to hoop shoes. Honestly, this model's pretty snug, still on the process breaking them in.
How are these for bigger guy im 250. 6'3 guard type /slasher can also play all positions basically i like lebron 20/21 for all the cushion an low topness
@DGHoops hmmm we'll see. Which ones would you recommend. The kobe 5, 6, 8, or 9.Another thing to note im just not with paying 400 to 600 for sneakers cause they're impossible to get
@ bro i already tried the 8's in store. Seeing them just sitting excites me. When i tried it then iunderstand why they're sitting. Hopefully have a hand on those 5's 😞
Hate how hard it is to get Kobe’s now hate raffles and snkrs app is the worst. I had the og Kobe 5 and still have them just want to get them again but damn near impossible for a normal consumer
It’s not impossible as you can see here, along with so many people in the comments. It depends on your area and how many raffles you enter. Trust me I feel you though!
@ I live in a smaller town in Colorado with no real hoop shoe retail stores so i rely on ordering online a lot. But my favorite players shoe just came in the Joker 1 excited to try them out! Our rec league starts tomorrow and I’ll be rocking the GT Cut 3 which imo is the best hoop shoe rn maybe I will hit on the Kobe 6 coming out next month
hit on snkrs. i was worried theyd be too flashy but they are more subtle in hand which i like also Nike couldve removed the sac and made them $180 just like the xrays… but i like the presentation and Nike putting something extra
I'm a Kobe fan, asian (so I can actually read the gold stitching behind the tongue), and born in the year of the snake. These were made for me...
You get them?
@@DGHoops Surprisingly on SNKRS, waiting for them to ship. The red pair does have more presence tho..
Im glad I won a raffle bought these , all 4 of me & my gf and 2 of younger brothers won the raffles. So happy to get a Kobe 5 for retail
@@BabayaGuns Yessir nice bro!

Which stores had them sitting?
@@DGHoops Sheikh SF and Sheikh Hayward. They were letting you purchase multiples. Picking up my third pair from Sheikh Hayward in a couple of hours.
3 pairs? That’s a lot haha but that’s fire
that s actually crazy!
Yeah I just picked up my third pair now. For anyone in the SF/Bay Area looking for these Sheikh Hayward still has 7.5M-11M. They close at 8pm so pretty sure they'll all still be available tomorrow morning.
Been waiting for this
Yessir!
Since I can’t afford the Kobe when I was a kid now can buy it with the retail price is pretty awesome
Yessir!!!!
These are still sitting in footlockers - I just picked up a size 12 yesterday 🤯
Lucky to get a pair here in the phillippines my first time getting a kobe for retail keep on grinding man love your vids❤
@@hannahian76 thank you bro much love 🇵🇭
Got one for retail.. Haven't worn it for 🏀 yet thanks for the review
these are sitting rn at our local nike here in the philippines 🥲🇵🇭🐍
Nice
@sobrangitm, is this Titan22 you're talking about? Also do you know if the Philippines are getting the red colorway?
Thats a lie lol.
@@sobrangitm cap they only released in the us
@@norvieYT Bro do we really have the same first name?!!!
My 1st kobe shoes
Kobe 5 Eggplant but im looking forward to kobe 6 🔥 i think kobe 5 and 6 is the best kobe shoes series in terms of performance also and looks 😅
@@olandodinsreyes3290 Congrats bro!!! I know the feeling. My first Kobes were the 4 Protro Gold Medal. 🎉🥳👍
Glad I grabbed a pair but I really want the all star weekend Kobe 6s that are coming.
Same
Mad the court floor looks pristine.
They just cleaned it. You should watch my other videos, it’s disgusting and a community center court where little kids run around every day in it after being outside
@ I was gonna say!!! Gotta take advantage when it’s that clean and empty 😂
@@jasonbuenafe2893 Yup the traction was really good the day I was filming like super good
This was my first ever W on the SNKRS app after years of trying. Can’t wait to get them in hand and play in them
Yessir let me know how they play
Got lucky and hit on SNKRS! Hope the translucent outsole doesn’t affect the traction!
It hasn’t so far
I love them and can't wait for mine to arrive
They're really nice bro
My father just got them for me. They are so cool ( thanks Father).
What fits more snug, the kobe 8s or these?
I'm glad you've still did a review about this one. 😅 I thought you wouldn't.
Yeah man I love this shoe!
Hows the uppers holding.? Thats my issue on kobe 5 og
Just got a pair in Taiwan. Kobe Protros aren't allowed to try on at the retailer. I normally wear size US11 when it comes to hoop shoes. Honestly, this model's pretty snug, still on the process breaking them in.
Yeah the shoe runs a little tighter
First love the vids. ❤
Thanks for the love, glad you enjoy them!
Sizing/Fitting tips for this? TTS or what? Tia!
I talk about it in the video.
Silly question, for shoes with drop in mids do you put the baselines on top or swap them entirely?
No I don’t do anything with drop ins unless they’re from SPO
Can I go to the same size as the Book 1 and the gt cut Academy or half size up?!
I tried to get them from SNKRS app using 2 accounts and surprisingly hit on both. Had to cancel 1 as Im not too crazy about the design.
Nice
I can’t believe I hit on SNKRS I am so excited to get my pair
I don’t like translucent either cause they tend to yellow faster than solid color soles. They shoulda done them in smoke gray solid
It’s growing on me but the red pair should have been red
I copped a pair for 280 bucks i am so exited to wear them
I couldn't go to Foot Locker to grab them, so i got them off SNKRS, so it's my first hit of the year.
Congrats!
How are these for bigger guy im 250. 6'3 guard type /slasher can also play all positions basically i like lebron 20/21 for all the cushion an low topness
@@goatkublack604 Nba Players wear them so you should be fine
@DGHoops hmmm we'll see. Which ones would you recommend. The kobe 5, 6, 8, or 9.Another thing to note im just not with paying 400 to 600 for sneakers cause they're impossible to get
I’m 6’5 270 and I play 3/4. This feel great, just like they did during the OG release in 09-10
When will they come out in europe?
They didnt showed up in my snkrs app
I don't know I don't live there
@ damm I can’t find anything and they dont show up on snkrs
Which is better? Kobe 8's or those?
@@RC0710 These bruh but up to your preference
@ bro i already tried the 8's in store. Seeing them just sitting excites me. When i tried it then iunderstand why they're sitting. Hopefully have a hand on those 5's 😞
If nike just let this have a normal swoosh this would be 🔥🔥🔥
That’d be clean too
@ eggplant colorway then a black swoosh with gold lining 🔥 for sure here’s my money! 💸💸 haha
Did you still go half size up?
No but some Kobe 5s I have in half size up since the resale price was cheaper
🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍
Yessir
L at footlocker raffle . I went to shoe palace Vegas and got my size . Easy copped .
Glad you got them!
Wow damn!!! Bro you used 45000 points sheesh that’s a lot , I used 8000 points just for fun coz it’s number 8 and it worked I won 😂
Got the eggplant. Hoping i can get kobe 6 dodgers( if they’re GR) and then kobe 9 Beethoven. 🎉
Yup I hope you get them
I guess I don't need my kidneys 😆
I don’t know if these are worth that! 😂

Got
hit on snkrs. i was worried theyd be too flashy but they are more subtle in hand which i like
also Nike couldve removed the sac and made them $180 just like the xrays… but i like the presentation and Nike putting something extra
Yup I agree bro!

Let’s go
