    I’m sure when Vanessa and Nike renegotiated the deal, it was more about her getting a bigger piece of the pie than it being about making more shoes.

    Here in Europe they’ve just released Jordan Jumpman Pro “Red Bull” bought them but couldn’t find a review: Then found a video from a very young dashing Chris
    31. 01. 2017. Reviewing the Jumpman pro. The shoe hasn’t changed in design or material the white leather as you described it then still the same today. Best wishes from Germany

    I don't think there should be a reason to be upset with this company making a shoe look like a kobe . I'd be upset with Nike for not mass producing enough kobes . If I had money I would create my shoe similar to a kobe . Can't be mad at them and I am excited to try them out . Props to Serious Players only .

  • @vinsanity_1510
    @vinsanity_1510 Před rokem +32

    Brands like Puma and Adidas should be making shoes similar to this. Light, minimal with good cushioning. They should be going after the ‘Kobe shoe’ gap in the market that Nike have created.
    Obviously they can’t straight up copy Kobe’s, but like you touched on Nike opened the door for this because they refuse to make Kobe’s accessible to the public.
    For those that have played in Kobe’s and liked them, we know that they are the best bball shoes for our playstyle, so we’re always going to seek out Kobe-esque shoes (eg Puma All-Pro) until Nike makes them widely available (which is looking less and less likely sadly).

    Disappointed to hear these likely don't cut the mustard.

Thanks as always for the unbiased review!

      I had a different experience with my reps. Used the Reddit forums, grabbed a pair of rep 6’s and I feel like I’m gonna roll my ankle in them when playing ($130 bucks for the pair as well). They’re Fine for casual wear but I found the Lebron XX to be the best pair of ball shoes I’ve had on my feet in a long time.
