Hey Guys! Thanks for hanging with us as Chris took us down memory lane. Let us know what your favorite Kobe model is. Let's stick to the main line, the first 11 models. Ready... GO!
Traction wise I love the Kobe 9, but overall I love the Kobe 8. Wish I had money to buy the 6’s back when I was still in college. Praying they protro it next so I can save money for them! Great content as always Chris!
I don’t actually hoop so I can’t give any performance related input but my favourite Kobe’s so far were actually a collab. The Kobe 1 Protro Undefeated that came in several oh so sweet camouflage prints. On a side note, I would love additional videos on older shoes and random pickups.
The algo sent me here to say THE PEOPLE WANT MORE THROWBACK KOBE REVIEWS UGH ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ love nothing more than chris reminiscing on his favorite pairs ever!
@@sarabjitsandhu4394 I got some on Poshmark a while back, but I would say eBay or Mercari are a good place. They mostly are gonna be expensive now tho as the contract ended.
I love the 6’s too. But for some reason I fell like the 8’s don’t get their fair due. Like that show can be considered perfect to me. Customizable, lightweight, supportive, great traction and designer with the EM upper.
The 6's, 8's, and NXT 360 are the best overall IMO, or Protro 1 if you prefer a more traditional shoe. 9's have the best traction. 4's are the best in terms of influence/legacy. The NXT 360 have the best cushion.
Man i had a replica one like this when i was in High school. My father gifted them to me and i loved it! I remember the paint on the swoosh easily chips away so i repaint them with nail polish every after i play 😆 but still i balled out with those eventhough they were replicas, such a great memory 😊
Here because I just ordered a pair of the protro edition of these. I read that its mostly the same materials, and increased cushion on the forefoot. I can't wait to hoop in em!
I came here because I won my very first SNKR app shoe and its these Kobe 6 All Stars.. Im so happy and pumped up and I will never ever resell these because these will forever hold a very very special place in my heart
Just wanna say thank you Chris! I’ve been watching your videos since high school and you’ve helped me out A TON. If there was a performance shoe that I wanted I would watch your review first before getting them. Once again thank you and continue killing it man!
Truly does man, I was able to get the red snakes last year for 100 bucks pretty much brand new. Was planning on getting another pair when the tragedy happenes..
Kobe 5's were the best for me. I was always weary of wearing low/mid basketball shoes due to multiple ankle sprains in my younger years but after wearing the 5's it changed my mind. I now hoop in lows, mids and high tops all depending of the performance.
Favorite looking Kobe's are the 9, and they're my favorite to play in as well. I still have my Kobe 9 Pop Arts, and broke them out again for work during the week of his passing
The Kobe 6 is also my favorite pair to ball in. The way it performs and looks on the court is really amazing. The time when you picked the 6s over all the Kobe line, man, I lost it. Was watching something on Netflix earlier, then a notification comes up with the Kobe 6 All Star from Weartesters. Auto click and like.
The most underrated feature for me was the way the honeycomb-like foam/mesh in the tongue felt on foot, you could strap them in so tightly without feeling restricted whatsoever, helps that they are one of the truest fitting shoes I've worn. If they protro these with react instead of phylon and replace the met bag with something that has more coverage it could be the best hoop shoe ever made (and they are already my top pick).
My favorite Kobe the play in was the Kobe 9 elite and thanks to your lebron 11 performance review I swapped the lebron 11 midsole into the kobe 9 elite and it was heavenly after that. I remember both of those performance reviews that was an amazing time to be a sneaker fan. Stay safe thanks for everything over the years bro
I'm with you man, 6s were my favorite to hoop in. The 8s came the closest but all the reasons you stated I agreed with. I just wish I had bought more pairs.
My favorite sneaker ever! I have had 6 pairs in my lifetime, although the most recent ones I have gotten aren’t really wearable on court anymore because of sole separation. I honestly don’t even want a protro of them because I don’t think anything needs to be changed. They could just release them as they already are.
I agree with you on the Kobe 7s. I remember seeing those as a kid in Footlocker and told my dad I wanted them. He said maybe for my birthday. But a kid being a kid. I forgot. Until 2018 I finally got them. (home colorway) that heel counter is sexy asf
So clean Nightwing! Kobe 6 and 9 elite lows are my favorite all time Kobe shoes RIP MAMBA. Hope you and your family are staying safe though great upload as always!
The Venomenon 5 is my go to court shoe; sadly I’m down to my last pair. Full disclosure, I use a custom insole for plantar fasciitis so factory insoles and comfort cushioning don’t matter to me at all. I love the responsiveness and the fit, light and locked down. For aesthetics: Kobe 9 EM
Man, this brings me back. As a so cal native, and huge Lakers fan. This time of life I owned at least 3 pairs of grinches. All at different times, wore them, sold them, got another, sold them etc. I don't have any anymore. I remember loving that tongue and the way the insole formed to my foot. I wish Nike would protro the 6 and especially the Grinch colorway
Fantastic video! So glad you did a ‘review’ on these. The Kobe 6 is my absolute favourite to hoop in. I have 7 pairs of them and rotate them as much as I can 👟
These are my favorite Kobe's! Performance AND visually! Your performance review was prolly one of the first few reviews I watched! next would be the 8's
I loved my black Kobe 5’s. They were so comfortable. They made me a believer in low top b-ball shoes. I was old fashioned and have bad ankles so it was hard to trust them at first. I had to learn that it’s not about what’s around the ankle but the proper tooling and fit.
I still remember my first time playing in these. I literally didn’t want to take them off! My favorite hoop shoes of ALL TIME! Nike needs to protro these with full length zoom. I WOULD TRIPLE UP ON EVERY COLORWAY because I love them that much and would wanna have pairs forever
Kobe 6 is my favorite!!! Ever. I have 3 pairs, all through highschool and college I stayed true to my Kobe 6’s, the KD6 elite, and now modern day as an old man I wear the puma Clyde hardwood. Great video👍
I own the POP Colour way as featured here. Bought them here in Australia and they were actually on clearance. (Jordan’s and Kobe’s were often on clearance here back in those days) Beautiful shoe with the added bonus of being by far favourite shoe to ball in. Hard to explain but court feel is second to none in these and you just feel stable and agile even though they’re low cut.
Man! So excited to see these Kobes. I’m sure we all would love to see the other 2 pairs you got. I just missed the auction of this Kobe 6 colorway on eBay 😢 My fav are Kobe 4, 9 and 11 but I haven’t played in all of the other Kobes yet so I gotta say my fav looking is the Kobe 4 and my fav to play in so far is the Kobe 4 Protro. Shout out from Thailand 🇹🇭 ✌️
I only have one pair of 6s, the white Del Sol cw, got them on a sale in 2014, wore them for half a year on rec league and loved them a lot, is my fav Kobe low top. Please give us a video on those 5s too Chris! Keep safe at home and wash your hands.
Agreed. Best performing shoe in the kobe line imo as well and soo comfortable. Only knock is that the traction burns out super quickly even on hardwood. But if they protro these, I'm copping all of them that I can.
Same bro, I had the Del Sol 6's and I hooped in those till they were no good anymore. Probably my favorite pair of shoes ever. The Jordan 23 lowtops went hard too.
Unfortunately, unloaded most of my kobe shoes. (4,6,7,8,9,10,11) Had This exact colourway. Got them 2 years ago , coz 10 years ago, didnt have money to buy them. Anyway, all I have atm are kobe 1 protros, kobe 5 chaos protros, kobe 5 lakers away/mine grey OG’s. Keep it coming bro! I base all my purchases from your reviews! Get this man more subscribers!!!
Fantastic video, love the call back. Looks wise, these are my favourite Kobe’s, silhouette wise I think they’re just perfect and I love the ‘Chicago’ flavour, to play in it would be the Protro 1s, they are absolute beasts.
Thank you for this video!! Dropped on my birthday too! YES TO MORE KOBE CONTENT, and favorites to play in so far is my kobe 9’s but best looking ones are the fade to black 11’s
Congratulations on a fine additions to your collection! Telling about deals, that would never come around again, recently I've got Kobe's 7 Olympic USA for $94 and after that I got 9 Elite High Showtime for $98. When I saw these 9s, I just surprisingly thanked myself for not buying new J's 3 Red (not CHI) with 50% discount, because it saves my moneys for "Showtime".
Very jelly of your collection man. Love these color ways and wish I had these along with my black pair. These are my absolute favorite Kobe's but second to his Huaraches,just because I get more ankle support and they run wider for my foot. I definitely hit/smashed the like button and ready for the other reviews on the others you snagged. God bless and stay safe out there.
Kobe 6 is my favorite, I had 2 pairs when they released back in 2011. I beat up those sneakers because I really love them so much. I used it for almost everything, casual or working out. Up until now, I still wear them inside the house, can’t risk it to wear outside because it might fall apart. So if Nike decided to protro the Kobe 6, I’m really up for it!!!
Love your videos, Chris! Would love to see videos on everything, buy please promise you'll drop everything to do a review on Kobe 6 Protros if they ever release them.
love to see the other 2 pickups. I like the 8s and 9s. Love the elite high for the 9s but the 8s killed it with colorways. So many dope looking cw's on the 8s
Great review as always and bring on the Kobe shoe videos👌🏾. My favorite Kobe’s are all of them except the 2’s and 3’s. The Kobe 6’s were definitely in my top 3 for performance in my opinion.
Unguardable Unforgettable RIP Kobe, my idol Favorite looking: Kobe 6 Favorite performing: Kobe 10 bc it’s the only one I ever played in (I’m a broke hs kid, found em at Ross when I was still grade school size, played in them outside even after the zoom popped) One day I hope to own at least the protro 1, 4, 5, 6 hopefully all of them tho Mamba Face
My favorite Kobe lookswise is the 11 . I copped the Kobe 11 ALT from a Nike outlet , (that was the pair you could remove the shroud to expose the multicolor upper ) . It’s probably my most worn shoe and still looks good . The Kobe 11 Nike ID “Northern Lights “ option is still my grail Kobe still looking for a pair in my size for a good price . I couldn’t afford to cop at that time .
YES!! These are the best hooping shoes of all time. I think I ended up with 4 pairs of these. Like you, I wish I got all of them. Unfortunately all 4 pairs I had all fell apart. I would buy these every time I need new shoes to ball in. Hopefully they give these the protro treatment!
I remembered watching your review of this Kobe 6 way back when that convinced me to get a pair. Totally agree - this was the best low cut shoe ever. The closest I’ve come to this level of perfection is the UA Curry 3 lows. Learnt my lesson, bought 2 more pairs once you’ve discovered Bball shoe nirvana. Wished Nike re-released the Kobe 6s
Please keep these coming!!! Thanks for keeping content going during challenging times. These are my favorites to play in. I destroyed my black and yellow joints. Favorites to play in 6, 4, 5, 11, 9, 8 not in that order. Again fa-sho give us the other two pick ups!!!!
I bought the black and yellow ones on a drunken birthday Friday night and all I remember was telling the guy at footlocker was that I was going to jump so high in those shoes 😂.
Fav Kobe model for performance is the between the 4 and 8 like u said the marketing behind it was great with the “Ankle Insurance” commercials. And the 8 was super light. Fav Kobe for ascetically is the 9. And just watching this video inspired me to go cop these bad boys u just got. And yes please give us a review of the others u copped. Thanks Nightwing 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Kobe 6 also my favorites. Mine were stolen last year but found and returned, unfortunately in less admiral condition than when they left. I wear them for work now.
This is one of those videos I didn't watch in one straight go because I didnt want it to end! In terms of colorways (and I know you had almost every single CW) the Kobe 8s were the best. It had unique CWs and the pattern on each CW were different. In terms of the silhouette the 6s and 4s just look good. The 3s were also good but because they stimulated you visually the most among the Kobe line. Like the 3s made you say WTF but not necessarily in a bad way. Also, can you imagine if they protro the 6s with full-length zoom?? Damn.
Missed out on a chance to grab Kobe 6 All star for 200 last year, regretted till this day :( My fav pair to play in is the 3. That shoe introduced me to the world of sneakers but outside of nostalgia reasons, its so lightweight for a high top and supportive. The fit was awesome and the net design looks so unique while making the shoes breathable. It offered great cushion with the forefoot + heel zoom too. I played in my OG pairs till the soles fell off. I really hope nike would protro them so I could hear your thoughts on them. 6 is the most stand out Kobe shoe with the snake skin but my favorite looking one is the 5. I love the overall design and the reflective fuse mesh. It was the first time they introduced the heel + small meta Zoom, which offered both court feel and cushion. And man the colorways... I usually buy my favorite colorways of a shoe and would end up with 1 or 2 pairs for a model. But with Kobe 5 I cannot decide, theres just so many. Bruce Lee, Big stage away, Da Vinci, Chaos, prelude, Lower merion, duke etc. Even some of the protro colorways look awesome (Kay Yow & big stage home with the split look). The release date is unknown due to Kobe's passing. I can't wait for those to come out. Please make videos about the other 2 pairs you picked up! I just enjoy hearing you talk about shoes, not to mention its gonna be about one of my favorite models of all time.
Hey Chris, when dis the Kobe line go to the drop in midsoles? That might be why we haven't seen those insoles since then. I love the fact that you got further than most to show the details of the shoes! Nice work!👌 Oops should have kept watching till the end before I made a comment. 😂
I've been playing basketball for more that 20yrs and I can strongly say that this shoe is the best basketball low shoe....eveeeeeeer !!!! If you can make another video like this with Hyperdunk low 2012 , I would also love it! Keep up the good vids bro....
My favorite basketball sneaker of all time. I regret I didn't buy more pairs of them and Nike ID me a pair. Hopefully Nike will release them as a Protro. We love you Kobe.
I think a video on the other two right now would be cool. We get to see more awesome sneakers. More interactions and jokes and given that we are locked in and can't go ball anywhere it's nice to see something else related to great sneakers and basketball.
RIP to Kobe, his daughter and everybody else that was in that helicopter. A true legend that shaped the game!
he was my favorite rapper when ever i jump on my trampoline I yell kobe because I hit the ground just as hard.
James Fredericks hell’s gonna be really hot for you
Still can’t believe it. RIP
The reverse Kobe are better lol bro 😮
Hey Guys! Thanks for hanging with us as Chris took us down memory lane. Let us know what your favorite Kobe model is. Let's stick to the main line, the first 11 models. Ready... GO!

R.I.P Kobe, his daughter, and the others. 🙏🙏🙏 stay safe everyone. And wash ur hands
@jhen4931 jhen4931
Ok. well I changed pfp since I made this comment so it might not match. So...
Traction wise I love the Kobe 9, but overall I love the Kobe 8. Wish I had money to buy the 6’s back when I was still in college. Praying they protro it next so I can save money for them! Great content as always Chris!
KOBE 6 🐐 HOOP SHOE 🔥
I don’t actually hoop so I can’t give any performance related input but my favourite Kobe’s so far were actually a collab. The Kobe 1 Protro Undefeated that came in several oh so sweet camouflage prints. On a side note, I would love additional videos on older shoes and random pickups.
All Kobe's are favorites. Rest in Paradise to the 🐐🐐🐐
Performance: Kobe 8
Aesthetics: Kobe 11
Facts
Same thoughts
I agree
Aesthetics would be the 5s
The algo sent me here to say THE PEOPLE WANT MORE THROWBACK KOBE REVIEWS UGH ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ love nothing more than chris reminiscing on his favorite pairs ever!
I've ALWAYS wanted to play in a pair of 6's. Never had the chance.
Tellin ya man, Mercari or Poshmark are the plugsss
I think they are better than the 8. It was so perfect. I had two pair and I miss them.
@@aaroncastagnetto9081 where can I get them at??
@@sarabjitsandhu4394 I got some on Poshmark a while back, but I would say eBay or Mercari are a good place. They mostly are gonna be expensive now tho as the contract ended.
I love the 6’s too. But for some reason I fell like the 8’s don’t get their fair due. Like that show can be considered perfect to me. Customizable, lightweight, supportive, great traction and designer with the EM upper.
The 6's, 8's, and NXT 360 are the best overall IMO, or Protro 1 if you prefer a more traditional shoe. 9's have the best traction. 4's are the best in terms of influence/legacy. The NXT 360 have the best cushion.
bgkid14 8’s are my personal favorite, just made my own performance test on them too. Love all aspects of them, looks and performance wise!
4s ans 8s m'y favorite
Personally I felt like the 8's made some minor adjustments to the 6's which was already a great shoe; as if the 7's never existed
Man i had a replica one like this when i was in High school. My father gifted them to me and i loved it! I remember the paint on the swoosh easily chips away so i repaint them with nail polish every after i play 😆 but still i balled out with those eventhough they were replicas, such a great memory 😊
Here because I just ordered a pair of the protro edition of these. I read that its mostly the same materials, and increased cushion on the forefoot. I can't wait to hoop in em!
I came here because I won my very first SNKR app shoe and its these Kobe 6 All Stars.. Im so happy and pumped up and I will never ever resell these because these will forever hold a very very special place in my heart
My father bought me a kobe 6 as the reward of 100/100 for a math test in high school, favorite kobe shoes of all time. Love you kobe, Rest In Peace
Literally my favorite Kobe as well. They feel so good on foot. Whether wearing casually or on the court. AWESOME shoe!
Just wanna say thank you Chris! I’ve been watching your videos since high school and you’ve helped me out A TON. If there was a performance shoe that I wanted I would watch your review first before getting them. Once again thank you and continue killing it man!
For me , Kobe 8's are the best shoes ever , very comfortable and light.
Its sad that i cant a get a well care pair of kobe 8's in this days. :(
Truly does man, I was able to get the red snakes last year for 100 bucks pretty much brand new. Was planning on getting another pair when the tragedy happenes..
@@JustWrightHD where do you get those ???
Franco Lanzarini I got a bunch still whats ur size ?
@@dbenz16 12US do you have ?
@@dbenz16 do you still have any size 9
I still have 3 pairs of these worn to nothing but I love them soooo much. By far my favorite Kobe ever
Kobe 5's were the best for me. I was always weary of wearing low/mid basketball shoes due to multiple ankle sprains in my younger years but after wearing the 5's it changed my mind. I now hoop in lows, mids and high tops all depending of the performance.

Chris again proving to be the GOAT by dropping another banger 💯
YES PLEASE! Do the video on those pairs. Since it’s hard to get Kobe’s now, i’ll just admire it from here.
Love y'all chemistry!!

Man, still felt heartbroken and part of me missing whenever thinking about Kobe. IV V VI are the best for me forever.

All at different times, wore them, sold them, got another, sold them etc. I don't have any anymore. I remember loving that tongue and the way the insole formed to my foot.

@weartesters 😲👀🎉
Fantastic video! So glad you did a ‘review’ on these. The Kobe 6 is my absolute favourite to hoop in. I have 7 pairs of them and rotate them as much as I can 👟
Mr. & Mrs. Wing are so cute together 😍
Btw, goodbye Kobe. We'll be missing you.
Thoughts and prayers to his daughter and the others involved as well.
These are my favorite Kobe's! Performance AND visually! Your performance review was prolly one of the first few reviews I watched!
next would be the 8's

Kobe 6 is my favorite!!! Ever. I have 3 pairs, all through highschool and college I stayed true to my Kobe 6’s, the KD6 elite, and now modern day as an old man I wear the puma Clyde hardwood. Great video👍
Idk why but I love the way the Kobe 4 protro “draft day” look
I own the POP Colour way as featured here. Bought them here in Australia and they were actually on clearance. (Jordan’s and Kobe’s were often on clearance here back in those days) Beautiful shoe with the added bonus of being by far favourite shoe to ball in. Hard to explain but court feel is second to none in these and you just feel stable and agile even though they’re low cut.
Man! So excited to see these Kobes. I’m sure we all would love to see the other 2 pairs you got.
I just missed the auction of this Kobe 6 colorway on eBay 😢
My fav are Kobe 4, 9 and 11 but I haven’t played in all of the other Kobes yet so I gotta say my fav looking is the Kobe 4 and my fav to play in so far is the Kobe 4 Protro.
Shout out from Thailand 🇹🇭 ✌️
I only have one pair of 6s, the white Del Sol cw, got them on a sale in 2014, wore them for half a year on rec league and loved them a lot, is my fav Kobe low top. Please give us a video on those 5s too Chris! Keep safe at home and wash your hands.
Agreed. Best performing shoe in the kobe line imo as well and soo comfortable. Only knock is that the traction burns out super quickly even on hardwood. But if they protro these, I'm copping all of them that I can.
Same bro, I had the Del Sol 6's and I hooped in those till they were no good anymore. Probably my favorite pair of shoes ever. The Jordan 23 lowtops went hard too.
Yoo. What a dynamic duo. Love the little extra clips at the end. Is Ms.Wing wearing a Harry Potter shirt?
On a side note, I always love the detail Kobe would put on naming his shoes.. man RIP
Seeing these makes me fall in love with the Kobe 6's all over again. Great video.
Unfortunately, unloaded most of my kobe shoes. (4,6,7,8,9,10,11) Had This exact colourway. Got them 2 years ago , coz 10 years ago, didnt have money to buy them.
Anyway, all I have atm are kobe 1 protros, kobe 5 chaos protros, kobe 5 lakers away/mine grey OG’s. Keep it coming bro! I base all my purchases from your reviews! Get this man more subscribers!!!
Fantastic video, love the call back. Looks wise, these are my favourite Kobe’s, silhouette wise I think they’re just perfect and I love the ‘Chicago’ flavour, to play in it would be the Protro 1s, they are absolute beasts.
Thank you for this video!! Dropped on my birthday too! YES TO MORE KOBE CONTENT, and favorites to play in so far is my kobe 9’s but best looking ones are the fade to black 11’s
Pls upload vids everyday. I love hearing about your sneakers! Greatest sneaker reviewer on youtube 💯
My favorite shoe of all time!!! I went through 6 pairs. The last pair I had I ran them until the tread was gone...man I miss those...
Congratulations on a fine additions to your collection!
Telling about deals, that would never come around again, recently I've got Kobe's 7 Olympic USA for $94 and after that I got 9 Elite High Showtime for $98.

I still have a VERY well worn pair of 6's in the purple/blue colorway and a beat up pair of 5's in the Wolf Grey colorway. So glad I kept them.
My fav Kobe model too. And def agree with you about the Kobe 1 protro. Sick performance!
Man Kobe’s signature line is so underrated. RIP to the Mamba. Amazing review Nightwing!
Love your videos, Chris! Would love to see videos on everything, buy please promise you'll drop everything to do a review on Kobe 6 Protros if they ever release them.
love to see the other 2 pickups. I like the 8s and 9s. Love the elite high for the 9s but the 8s killed it with colorways. So many dope looking cw's on the 8s
Great review as always and bring on the Kobe shoe videos👌🏾. My favorite Kobe’s are all of them except the 2’s and 3’s. The Kobe 6’s were definitely in my top 3 for performance in my opinion.
Unguardable
Unforgettable
RIP Kobe, my idol
Favorite looking: Kobe 6
Favorite performing: Kobe 10 bc it’s the only one I ever played in (I’m a broke hs kid, found em at Ross when I was still grade school size, played in them outside even after the zoom popped)
One day I hope to own at least the protro 1, 4, 5, 6
hopefully all of them tho
Mamba Face
My favorite Kobe lookswise is the 11 . I copped the Kobe 11 ALT from a Nike outlet , (that was the pair you could remove the shroud to expose the multicolor upper ) . It’s probably my most worn shoe and still looks good . The Kobe 11 Nike ID “Northern Lights “ option is still my grail Kobe still looking for a pair in my size for a good price . I couldn’t afford to cop at that time .
These, along with the 9’s are my favorite Kobe’s as well. I love the Concord colorway, but that all star edition is SICK!
YES!! These are the best hooping shoes of all time. I think I ended up with 4 pairs of these. Like you, I wish I got all of them. Unfortunately all 4 pairs I had all fell apart. I would buy these every time I need new shoes to ball in. Hopefully they give these the protro treatment!

The closest I’ve come to this level of perfection is the UA Curry 3 lows. Learnt my lesson, bought 2 more pairs once you’ve discovered Bball shoe nirvana. Wished Nike re-released the Kobe 6s
I was so lucky to grab a pair on StockX way before the price gouging 🤦🏽♂️. REST IN PEACE KOBE.
First and only shoe I’ve ever camped out for! LOVE the all star Kobe 6! Thanks for the vid nightwing!
These shoes are fire! It looks like the red colorway of the Mamba focus drew from this model.
Please keep these coming!!! Thanks for keeping content going during challenging times. These are my favorites to play in. I destroyed my black and yellow joints. Favorites to play in 6, 4, 5, 11, 9, 8 not in that order. Again fa-sho give us the other two pick ups!!!!
RIP Kobe and Gigi! My favorite Kobe’s to hoop in are the KB Mentality 2s but the ones I like style wise are the Kobe 11s lows.
The Kobe 6s were my first shoes and will always be my favourite!! Als, RIP Kobe and those that were in the accident
I bought the black and yellow ones on a drunken birthday Friday night and all I remember was telling the guy at footlocker was that I was going to jump so high in those shoes 😂.
Yes, I’d love to see more videos of the USA and POP Kobe’s you picked up!
Agreed. Had the same colorway also. Best model ever
Fav Kobe model for performance is the between the 4 and 8 like u said the marketing behind it was great with the “Ankle Insurance” commercials. And the 8 was super light. Fav Kobe for ascetically is the 9. And just watching this video inspired me to go cop these bad boys u just got. And yes please give us a review of the others u copped. Thanks Nightwing 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Congrats on the pickup cause the Kobe market is still crazy. Favorite model to play in is the 1 but my favorite model astectically is the crazy 8
Kobe 6 also my favorites. Mine were stolen last year but found and returned, unfortunately in less admiral condition than when they left. I wear them for work now.
This is one of those videos I didn't watch in one straight go because I didnt want it to end!
In terms of colorways (and I know you had almost every single CW) the Kobe 8s were the best. It had unique CWs and the pattern on each CW were different.
In terms of the silhouette the 6s and 4s just look good.
The 3s were also good but because they stimulated you visually the most among the Kobe line. Like the 3s made you say WTF but not necessarily in a bad way.
Also, can you imagine if they protro the 6s with full-length zoom?? Damn.
Missed out on a chance to grab Kobe 6 All star for 200 last year, regretted till this day :(
My fav pair to play in is the 3. That shoe introduced me to the world of sneakers but outside of nostalgia reasons, its so lightweight for a high top and supportive. The fit was awesome and the net design looks so unique while making the shoes breathable. It offered great cushion with the forefoot + heel zoom too. I played in my OG pairs till the soles fell off. I really hope nike would protro them so I could hear your thoughts on them.
6 is the most stand out Kobe shoe with the snake skin but my favorite looking one is the 5. I love the overall design and the reflective fuse mesh. It was the first time they introduced the heel + small meta Zoom, which offered both court feel and cushion. And man the colorways... I usually buy my favorite colorways of a shoe and would end up with 1 or 2 pairs for a model. But with Kobe 5 I cannot decide, theres just so many. Bruce Lee, Big stage away, Da Vinci, Chaos, prelude, Lower merion, duke etc. Even some of the protro colorways look awesome (Kay Yow & big stage home with the split look). The release date is unknown due to Kobe's passing. I can't wait for those to come out.
Please make videos about the other 2 pairs you picked up! I just enjoy hearing you talk about shoes, not to mention its gonna be about one of my favorite models of all time.
KOBE 6's is my fave shoe EVER!!!! I have the purple gradient I love them! Wore it till the end! I love Kobe 6's
Kobe 8 is my favorite one which also has multiple great colorways but those kobe6allstar is hella fire men
Hey Chris, when dis the Kobe line go to the drop in midsoles? That might be why we haven't seen those insoles since then. I love the fact that you got further than most to show the details of the shoes! Nice work!👌 Oops should have kept watching till the end before I made a comment. 😂
Watching this after just securing my pair of the 2021 version.🔥
I've been playing basketball for more that 20yrs and I can strongly say that this shoe is the best basketball low shoe....eveeeeeeer !!!! If you can make another video like this with Hyperdunk low 2012 , I would also love it! Keep up the good vids bro....
Give us alllll the reviews, you guys make the best sneaker content on YT! Be safe 🙏
Great video content Chris! I really wanted those Nike Zoom Kobe 6 "Supreme Rice" most of all (number one in my wish list).
Yes please I would love to see you going over all kobes again!!! Biggest Lebron fan here but honestly Kobes shoes are just better
Just woke up, 7 15 here in Kazakhstan, about to go back to sleep, saw a weartesters vid, I clicked, Kobe 6 all the way, the grinch colourway dope
Yes always love a video on older Kobes!
My favorite basketball sneaker of all time. I regret I didn't buy more pairs of them and Nike ID me a pair. Hopefully Nike will release them as a Protro. We love you Kobe.
I like throwback joints and with Kobe it makes it great thx bro
The Kobe 5s were my favorite to hoop in.. was never lucky enough to get a pair of 6s. Can’t wait to get my hands another pair of both.
Yeesss!!! I love this video!! Thank you for this sir Nightwing 😊🙌🙌🙏
I think a video on the other two right now would be cool. We get to see more awesome sneakers. More interactions and jokes and given that we are locked in and can't go ball anywhere it's nice to see something else related to great sneakers and basketball.
Kobe 1’s and 11’s are my favorite! Rest in Paradise Mamba & Mambacita🐐
