Kobe has the best looking and performance basketball shoes ever. Still remember how many people were wearing kobe 4s at the gym when they first came out . Still trying to get Kobe bruce lee version / Kyrie. Gorgeous shoes.
What do you wear them. I’ve personally worn the harden 1 ls, and the traction, and comfort were incredible. Ive also worn the Kobe 8s and 11s, the traction was also very good
Great videos, it was very educational, thanks Max. Hope this video hit 1 mil one day cause this is way better then the hype sneaker content we been seeing all over youtube for the last few years
It’s sad basketball doesn’t look at soccer boots for more ideas. Wild that the Kobe’s were the first low top shoes. Soccer cleats have been low top since it’s inception.
Slatternly Skaghalter fútbol is played with the feet, on grass in wet conditions and arguably more change of direction and they use low top. They must have something figured out .
Also, i remember he said that boxing was the influence behind his Kobe 9 Elite after observing Manny Pacquiao in a boxing training session. Kobe was really thinking outside the box for his shoe designs.
Nice vid my dude but as an old head that remembers Nike coming in the league around 78 with the Blazer while the shell toe/Super star /Pro model waa the best shoe . The Nike AF1 created by Bruce Kilgore had all the top guys, all stars, hall of famers wearing them in 1982, along with many college and pro teams in different flavors. The Air Tech was a first thick sole first mid sole sneaker with a strap to match the swoosh. The Adidas Forum worn by Michael Jordan in the 1984 Olympics waa a shoe 👟 like we never saw thick sole with a meah weave a midsole with a wrap around strap that havw ankle support like nothing else. Patrick Ewing wore white royal and orange Forums iii n his rookie year prior to his own Adidas Ewing Conductor ans the Rivalry… I think those two shoes were very influential and very well made…
Yeah, it was in the series with Portland that he returned to ones. For my 11th birthday i was gifted the ones. Halfway through 01-02 school year, less than halfway actually, the 2s were released. Man these shoes taught me not to fall in to the whole upgrade as yes, I started school cool, but then for 4 months until the post season my shoes "sucked" according to kids on the playground. Basically in the end it was an"amnesty that" moment.
Agree with you iverson questions 1 of the greatest shoes and they are tanks take a beating and high quality materials. I want that A.I. poster behind you!
Youngblood you are wrong about the Concord being the first time we saw patent leather on a basketball sneaker . Do the knowledge ask your man Scoop he is an old head like me, he knows the first patent leather basketball sneaker we saw was the Converse Dr J.1983 it came in red with white star and arrow and black with white star and arrow. I never saw Doc or any of the Sixers wear them, therefore the first true patent leather basket shoe was 1984.The Adidas Top Ten royal with white tongue and white stripes also came in black qith white tongue and stripes. DePaul Blue Demons wore the royal hi tops joints Sxoop definitely should remember that being a Chi town kid. Depaul vs Georgetown 1984 game was on youtube where Kenny Patterson and the Blue Demons wore them. Check around I wouldn't steer you wrong young homey…
Guys, if you looking for any shoes to buy, get kobe's 11. Shoe is amazing, it's light, comfartable, flexible, literally, this shoe is the best i had ever worn
When I was a kid we didn’t have a lot of money especially for shoes. I got to get like one pair at the beginning of the school year and that was it. Nike shoes were never comfortable to me and out of our price range. I remember one year I think 93-94 school year I got to get a pair of converse they were Larry Johnson’s they were black and white with a cover over the laces and I wore those things until they literally fell apart they were the best pair of shoes I ever wore. I just googled them after typing that I believe they were called converse react
The T-Mac 2 was the first shoe LeBron rocked in H.S. on national television so much Adidas thought they had him in the bag. Until that interview about him being a Nike guy. 🤣
Wait, no T-mac shoes? The iconic moment when he wore one bleu and one red in the all star game? And you're telling me this list is about NBA's greatest shoes? What about D-rose? Come on man.
Ever since I was a kid I wanted Kobe Grinch 6 🤧
They’re retroing next year bro 💪

Rip Kobe 🙏🏽❤️
Kobe has the best looking and performance basketball shoes ever. Still remember how many people were wearing kobe 4s at the gym when they first came out . Still trying to get Kobe bruce lee version / Kyrie. Gorgeous shoes.
Kobe 6/7 and kd4 neck and neck for me along with early UA’s like the curry anatomix
The Kobe 8’s, Kobe 9’s, Jordan 29’s and KD7’s are the best performance shoes ever
Big facts.
love kobe but performance wise? i gotta give it to them KDs
Frrrr then Kobe 8s are comfy affff
AJ29
JunZZZ Z - i completely forgot about those!
No disrespect to the mamba....but the Kobe 2 look like clown shoes 😂
Love Kobe but that shoes is historic trash🤣🤣
I bet he thought the same thing but at least you getting paid to wear them
Space boots smh
Kobe 6s gotta be on here they are elite 🔥
i mean they are on the thumbnail so
OMG I wanted the Grinches so bad. Could never get my hands on them though 🥺
*This is for my ballers out there, these are not the greatest basketball shoes in terms of performance.* 🏀
What do you wear them. I’ve personally worn the harden 1 ls, and the traction, and comfort were incredible. Ive also worn the Kobe 8s and 11s, the traction was also very good
Kobe 6 are the greatest in terms of performance
11s & 13s are probably my favorite Jordan ( basketball performace ) shoe.
Just my .02
Jordan xx8’s are #1
Lebron 10’s are a close #1
15:17 YOOOO Dee Brown wayyy ahead of his time with the Dabbing
In my eyes, it was Kobe putting on the Grinches and ruining Christmas for The Heat in true Kobe fashion. 🙏
definitely all in this together, especially for the current state of the world today on the matter.
You are on every basketball video
I love you lebeautiful
I really don't get why people keep saying this
It's not true

Thats the reason for kobe to ask for a low top shoe in the first place. KOBE 8/9 definitely look like soccer cleats.
@Slatternly Skaghalter Yeah right, how about all thoes players who got injured wearing high-tops? How about all the football players?
Also, i remember he said that boxing was the influence behind his Kobe 9 Elite after observing Manny Pacquiao in a boxing training session.
Kobe was really thinking outside the box for his shoe designs.
Kobe 🤧❤️
My man knows a lot but everything he says about each person boils down to “So Influential” and “Best of all time”
Yeah what else would you say when discussing the best NBA shoes of all time?
@@yogeshpatel5162 lmaoo
Kobe 6s were the best basketball shoe when I use to play. Bought like 3 pairs loved playing in them so comfy . Also lebron 10s
Nike air zoom 1995. Jason Kidd. Loved those back in the day.
I have never got to the point where I can hoop in my foamposites, and KG had some fire And 1’s that looked like 11’s with a zipper
What a great video, a lot of info and great stories.
Love my Black Concord/Space Jam 11s. Shout out to the Question Mids.
17:01 Big Dog bout to rip out of those beautiful PÉ Jordan 6’s like Zion! 😂
That Kobe II look like when u broke ur foot, but it’s game 7 of the finals & without u ur team doesn’t stand a chance
This was a great video I learned a lot.
The j11 wasn't the first time carbon fiber had been used. That was the shaq attack in 1992.
Great video. But I sprained my ankle 3 times in those kobe 6s 😂
Please do another video like this but with Vince Carters shox, and the T-Mac 4's

Love this video and aint even done watching it, but just a little correction. The shoe at 4:47 are the Hyperdunks not the 4s.
Rip Kobe 🐍
Kobe had some of the best performance shoes.
Looking forward to the grinch drop next year
Max is a legend, at the top of his craft, great info
fr man he killed this
Great list but you're forgetting the DADA Sprewell Spinners baby

Knowledge of tech and culture. Impressive
Kobe 2 = 2k default sneaker
Agree with you iverson questions 1 of the greatest shoes and they are tanks take a beating and high quality materials. I want that A.I. poster behind you!
Kobe 8 my fav signature Kobe
T-mac 1 and 2 are ones of the influential shoes as well
I didn’t know KG 3 was that important. I used it during my junior year and basically ran it through the ground.
Ive always loved the kobe bullet ive owned every adidas kobe
I prefer the South Beach Bron 8s. The colorway and shoe was fire.
So we just gonna forget that everybody and they moms was kickin some KD 6s?
kobe 5 is the best basketball shoe of all time imo

My bank account crying looking at these shoes
Those Garnett finals shoes are nutty, with game 1-7.
Surely gq sports coulda got this guy a camera and a mic we in quarantine not prison
As someone who knows nothing about sneakers (trainers over here in the UK), this was a really interesting video.
Which pairs do you like the best?
Even if you know a lot you learned something🙌🏽😂
Elia Smarius. I have no idea as there were so many.
So there was a Brown in Celtics who also wore #7 before Jaylen Brown lmao
Gary Payton's the Glove was taaaight
Carbonfibre actually was first used in the Reebok Shaq Attaq, years before the XIs…😉
Outstanding Video.
Shocked not to see the TMacs or VC Shox here
The Jordan 11 wasn't the first basketball shoe to feature carbon fiber, the Shaq Attaq 1 in 1992 was.
Favorite Jordan XI (11 lol) color way? I always go back & forth between Cool Grey 11s or Concords
Feels different now that his contract with Nike is up 😔
Guys, if you looking for any shoes to buy, get kobe's 11. Shoe is amazing, it's light, comfartable, flexible, literally, this shoe is the best i had ever worn
I'd take the J13 and J14 over the J11 in terms of performance and the fact that the 14's were the last shoe to be worn by Jordan on the court.
You're missing the Pippen 2's. Straight up.
I believe that Shaq's Reebok's are the first with carbon fibre shank tech. Not sure which model exactly...
Kobe’s Venice beach is the best shoe ever!
I was at the game vs Orlando
Where is jordan 1? The shoe that started it all
The Jordan 1 copied heavily off the Air Force 1…
Jordans didn't really get the identity they have now until the three
Some of the most horrible shoes comfort wise on the court
Where’s the Reebok kamakazi 2s? Or shaq attack 1s?
that list gotta be better, like those reebock pump omni lite shoes are not it
I agree, maybe an honorable mention but not one of the greatest NBA sneakers of all time
When I was a kid we didn’t have a lot of money especially for shoes. I got to get like one pair at the beginning of the school year and that was it.

Would’ve been fire if Lebron switched up the laces
With all these foam runners out im surprised the Adida Kobe’s haven’t made a comeback
WE MISS YOU KOBE
My favorite Air Jordan 11.
Black Air Force Max worn by the Fab-5
We don’t wear foams in the DMV no more 😂
Who remembers Kobe Adidas "Foot you wear."?
The Grinches and Bruce Lees are the best sneakers EVER
let's be honest, flywire 1.0 was just plastic with lines painted on it :D
How’s pippen & the uptempo not make the list
The T-Mac 2 was the first shoe LeBron rocked in H.S. on national television so much Adidas thought they had him in the bag. Until that interview about him being a Nike guy. 🤣
In my opinion Kobe V are the best. And totally gamechanging. Kobe V right now are totally in y everyway.
