Just sharing you this, as Romans 6:23 says, for the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. God loves you so much that he sent his son Jesus Christ to die on the cross to pay the price of all our sins. After 3 days after he died,he rose up from the dead. He will accept you not matter what you been through or have done. Accept the lord Jesus Christ as you lord and savior and ask forgiveness of all your sins to be saved from sin and have eternal life and not go to hell Jesus is our only hope for salvation and the if you don’t accept him you will not heaven and you will go to hell if you don’t accept Jesus Christ as your lord and savior ❤
The 2010's was the best era for sneakers. For me, the best were the Hyperdunk, but that's because I prefer higher kicks.
Nike should retro those 2011 hyperdunks!
I remember when people wore lebron 13s off court
@@jjcornelio7741 They already retro hyperdunk 2017, so hopefully one day
accidentally left my hyper dunks in a hotel room and they “couldn’t find them”
I wore my 2010 hyperdunks for damn near 6 years 🤣🤣 no tread just vibes
the traction from these shoes is top notch. they provide really good ankle protection and manoeuverability when changing directions.
They do not provide good ankle protection 😂
Kobe 9s weren’t about ankle support at all it was a low top that looked like a high top. Kobe designed it like a boxers shoe after watching Manny Pacquiao boxing and was impressed by his footwork
I’m all in on the KB9. Still have the black,red,and Bruce Lee. All for gym only. I’m a 14.5 and they’re still my favorites.
The KB6 was great. But the 9 is best for me.
I think some boxers even wore them in the ring.
Kobe 6's are so good and also so popular that they made a volleyball variant called the Hyperattacks, which literally share 1:1 designs with the 6's.
That's just to not piss off volleyball purists. Many volleyball players openly wear basketball shoes. Aside from Kobe 6s I see KDs, Lebrons, and Currys on volleyball courts.
@@toskiemail1371surprised you didn’t say WoW… way better volleyball shoes than any of those
You gotta talk about the Huarache 2K4's too man! I know they weren't Kobe signature shoes but they became iconic because of him.
Really liked this video! Would love to see some more with signature basketball shoes (Air Jordan 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.)!!
I've never understood why people like a high top shoes.
They say it's for the ankles, but whenever I've worn them, my ankles just feel stiff.
It's actually true that it's for ankles. But you're actually right about it being stiff. Your knees would get compromised because of it. That's why I'm wearing mid cut shoes lol
i think they’re more comfortable
High cuts feel way too chunky on my feet. Mid cuts are the best. If I need any more ankle protection I'd wear straps/braces but even that'd mean I gotta go half a size up on my shoes. Compression socks are the best.
Yep, they're supposed to feel stiff, that's what ankle-protection means. Perosnally it saved me from a bad ankle sprain on more than one occasion. Low cuts definitely feel better, no question about it, but less secure. Some people say "just wear ankle braces" or would lecture you about strengthening your ankles, but every foot's anatomy is different and there's no single truth that will work for everyone.
@@gobbledygookie there is no such thing as ankle protection from a sneaker the protection comes from how strong your ankle is ankle protection was marketing Strategy think about how many soccer players where low cuts and how much cutting they do if you need protection where an ankle brace not tryna debate just tryna educate
I had the same blue camo ones when I was young, and man they were awesome. My favorite of all time for sure. We called them the avatars, because the movie released short before they dropped.
My top 5 Kobes: 1. Kobe 6, 2. Kobe 8, 3. Kobe 5, 4. Crazy 8, 5. Kobe 11!
Whats your favorite colorway of the 6s?
No Kobe 9 is WILD
Kobe 9 is truly overrated. Clunky, stiff, heavy. Great traction and decent cushion. I got 2 bethovens and they are not good performers. Haven't tried 9 EM yet but it makes sense why they would create one.
Remember hooping in Kobe 6 and Lebron 8 back in high school. I got the concord colorway first and later grabbed a pair of blue camo.
kobe 6s are my favorite shoes of all time period. so nice on the court and they look amazing and got so many classic colorways
To be honest the VI, VII and X are the bests basketball shoes that I ever worn, they might be not having the catchiest colorway and materials at the time but, they are the comfiest and even fit nicely on the forefoot. Making it easier to move around the court
My theory is that low - to mid-cut bball shoes are better for your ankles because they allow your muscles to actually work.
High-tops limit your ankles to depend on the sneaker.
You’re hundred percent correct and there’s studies to prove it
I still have 12 pairs left from my old basketball days. Best shoe ever for me.
I remember the hate with first low top Kobes. 'Low tops for Bball, hell naw'. Look how far we got
dame certitfied 1 and 2 are great id love to see a vid on that
The adidas Kobe 1 aka Audi TT shoes,where great basketball shoes,the grip was top notch.
I’ve bought a few Kobe 6 protros and they are by far the best basketball sneaker I’ve ever had.
Realistically because Zoom Turbo is the best thing and it’s set up well in Kobes. Also honouring a legend that they desire to emulate in some ways (I’m not sure 😢Nike have done it perfectly but they’ve done it pretty well)
The Kobe VI are low tops, low to the ground outsole, and barely any heel drop (basically flat) everything from they Kobe V and after are basically a modern Converse All Star. Converse got it right over 100 years ago, you can actually ball in the Converse Chuck 70, the rubber outsole and the cushion insole provides enough protection (don’t try to play in the cheaper Chuck’s though, they are literally defined as slippers to avoid import tax laws). The whole “low cut,low outsole” is genius marketing, Bill Russell was jumping out of the gym every game in low cut Converse All Stars, look at old NBA photos from 1950s-60s, the low top Chucks were just as popular as the high tops. TIME IS A FLAT CIRCLE ⭕️.
Way of Wade 808 is a game changer
I got kobe 6 all star OG real other day and the grip is still better than any shoes ive ever wore before.
I’m a nurse and I use 6 pair of Kobe 6 in rotation for work lol. Very comfortable arguably the best sneaker basketball shoe ever
Yo had the timelines wrong nor did you mention the hyperdunks which came out in 2008
Idk, something about the Grinch’s is just amazing, I def play different with these compared to others, but I also did purchase ae1 storm troopers recently so we’ll see
im really missing the hyperdunks highs or lows they were worn by big guards and big men
Kobe 9 were elite as well
Respect and who can be against Kobe fr
Mamba Forever!! ❤
The 1st shoe I ever saved up for and used my own money playing basketball in high school-wore them for 3 years and played in 2 state championships. Retired them after HS but I still have my royal blue Kobe VI's. Not a fan of the crazy color ways really, but I will contend that this is the best hooping shoe ever made.
i love the kobes but for the price i would like harder rubber on the outsole for extra durability
totally agree with you, Kobe 4 and Kobe 6 were the greatest of basketball shoes ever!
Kobe 6s are great shoes and personally I love the Italian Camo color choice
In the past, most of players love the Kobe 6. As a memory for Kobe Bryant, we will have Kobe 6 for remembrance for him. We will give respect for him after his Tragedy in 2020. Rest in peace, Kobe Bryant.
im 45+yo and i dont care much about shoes, however, if i ever come accross one of these i might consider getting them :) I had a pair of nike airs when I was 21yo, for me those were the best shoes ever. my son has a pair of jordans (his second pair), im somewhat happy that jordans are still around and even more popular.
Kobe 6 Was My Favorite Shoes To Ball In , I Wouldn’t Do It Now But Yeah , I Love Them On Battle Field 💯
The OG hyperdunk was a straight game changer. The rereleases a couple years ago didn’t do them any justice. that original release was just different
Is the reverse or camo better?
Herb Jones had like 50 different Kobe’s on this season he almost got a new every game same Witz Naji Marshall
wonder where they get them from
@@TheMilchBroetchen they both signed to Nike I think and I also think you can ask for all the shoes if so
These shoes made me avg 8 pts a game way back in college coming off the bench with just final scores avg 30-40
Besides them looking sick as hell
8 felt like clouds
RIP to the GOAT KOBE
tbh its mainly cause most of the leagues players are signed with nike and its the best option from nike other brands like li ning and anta make way better shoes imo but just have not nearly as much players signed
Then you have to use an ankle brace 🤷🏻.
Jordan 4s, 11s and most recently the Zion ones are the ones I enjoyed the most
Bismallah brother 🙏🏽
The OG 6 are wide and good to play in, the protros are narrow and kills your feet.
05:18 ...for the same reason that pro bball players wrap their ancles solid with tape while in other sports they don't. Basketball is a sport where you jump among many players and thus you have higher chances of landing on top of another foot and sprain your ancle. Kawhi could say a lot about the matter :P . Of course the low cuts have other advantages but for all the non pros that play basketball out there and don't get their ancles braced by some physio guy before the games, the mid-high cuts offer some protection
Plus all the pros are doing so many polymetrics for ankle stability and mobility. Their muscles and joints are on whole another level. Regular folks playing for fun without all those extra stuff, might find use of the mid-cut more.
There is only one (stupid) thing I dislike about Kobe Grinches… and it is the fact that they are being overused all season long, not only at Christmas!
I mean… is like singing christmas carols in summer… or wearing an ugly christmas jumper in March! 😂
It's because they're too beautiful to only use them once a year, trust me, if I had them I'd be using them in most games
Yep I only see team sneakers, the brand a player belongs to. Or Kobe’s or Jordan’s
Can someone tell me the name of the shoe that amongst other PJ Dozier wears. The light blue adidas shoes?
harden vol 7, great shoe
@@mr.ore13 thanks👋👋👋
Q
Everyone in they gym rocks Kobe’s wen they play ball
2:50 The Kobe 1 was suppose to be the Air Flight Huarache.
Nice Weartesters shots!
There was no need for the ankle rolling segment 😭😭😭
Personally think the XI are the best kobes ever made. They are so comfortable
Kobe 8 is the way to go
Aye your eyes looking a lil red 420 🎉
kobe 8’s🔥😮💨
2:21 what you mean its like Harden vol 7
This guy’s casualness about sneakers and his Zangief accent is wonderfully humorous and cringe😂
I don't understand it tbh. Because i only read things about the shoe breaking within 10 uses
Because people make trends. Just like we're still wearing Jordans from the 80s.
I have a really bad heel balance…And Kobe signature shoes are not for me..
Are the Kobe 6's actually lighter than the Kobe 5's?
Kobe 6 is the goat shoe
Nice video but you should give credit to the Weartesters and the other channels you took footage from....
Lots of replicas be aware what you buy!! BEST sneaker ever.
Kobe 5 is the best of all time
kyrie 4 is the GOAT hoop shoe
Kobe 6*,5*,8,11 😎👍🏼
kobe shoes are a pain for wide footers
I mean these arguments for low shoes would like them to make sense but they don’t as nba players ever since they weear these stupid low shoes have increased in injures hundredfold
Nah I had Allen Iverson reebok answer 5 low in 2001! Just saying those where low
If u tried a pair u would know why it's a best seller
title is “why is everyone hooping in kobe 6s” but takes 6 minutes before he talks about the kobe 6s lol. literally 2/3 of the video isnt even about the 6s
I just cannot comprehend why they did not put a zoom air bag in the heel.
Wake up ppl, Nike is cheapskating in EVERY shoe nowadays.
A zoom air bag costs them maybe 1-2$ in production and they still wont put in one of the best cushion tecs ever
just to increase their margin by a few thousand dollars.
Because they got the money.
im trying to sell my kobe 7( never used it), I wished this video would be about 7 hahaha
How much

Who are the ancestors of Kobe Bryant?
Kobe is the goat thats why
Looks like Lebron gonna have to copy Kobe’s shoe a little more to sell more lmao
It’s because it’s hypebeast trend… ever since Kobe “died” and his shoes got inflated it created an artificial rare value. I love Kobe but most who wear those Kobe’s are fake fans ❤
Why not Genius?
Everyone’s hooping in Kobe 6’s because a lot of them mf hooping in fake Kobe’s 😂 and 6’s is just the one that have reps
Kobe 1 and 2 look better than all the new hyped trash, look at lamelo shoes, foam runners and 100s following the same concepts, them adult toddler shoes, like wtf….to name a few. 🤦♂️
Li ning gamma
Csn any of lebrons shoes be talked about like this?lol...MJs shoes are automatic..but kobes are iconic also..no one wants a pair of lebrons..haha
Because its a good shoe. Its that simple and the man died as well
For appreciation. When you wear Kobe 6 you that mean you ate on the court and he’s #24. So 2,4,6,8 who do we appreciate??😂😂😂
i didn’t understand any of this comment at all
Because they wanna destroy their feet
... because LeBron shoes suck hard like the Lonzo Ball sneakers.
The 9 is better 😂
… wtf did I witness!?!😊
Kobe shoe is the reason why AD always injured
Adidas made kobe shoes so ugly..Kobe actually paid money to kill it.. and end contract with adidas..
Kobe was great but he's wrong about high tops they're not there for ankle support. I like his shoes but this low top craze has made some garbage shoes.
in 2031 people will be wearing lebron 16 low, most sleeped on shoe
Because they are all sheep
Adidas dropped Kobe due to rape allegations in early 2000's
Don’t lie, Kobe chose Nike after contract expiration. If you don’t know just shut up
