    Welty was right, the Kobe grinch had a shock drop a few months ago on the mambacita foundation page, it was the story teller edition that came with the books.

    The Jordan Brand have multiple stories - that always pull the crowd in. Phenomenal marketing! They also pull on the stories of their collaborators too.
    Great stories sell - remember that.

    I love the vomero SP 5's and right now they are giving the women the best colorways so thanks for the information on upcoming pair's

  • @FreeTheColonized
    @FreeTheColonized Před 10 měsíci +2

    Off white vomero 5’s would be amazing. Made just like the black colorway of the air max 90’s and presto’s. I think it would have been a no brainer if Virgil was still here

  • @onmyshyt247

    IMO Best Kobe shoe to play in (as that’s what I used them for) was the 8s. This new 8 has newer features and thats dope.
    Rounding out the top 5 I got
    1. Kobe 8s away colorway (sulfur)
    2. Kobe 1s x undefeated la brea
    3. Kobe 9 masterpiece (high top)
    4. Kobe 5 protro x undefeated
    5. Kobe 11 fade to black
    His USA 2s highly underrated. All star 3s were dope to me too (unpopular opinion)

  • @60tree
    @60tree Před 10 měsíci

    I agree with Welty’s view of the Vomero. I also think people are branching out and finding other runners too. I think the Saucony Omni 9 Premium is highly slept on. They have 3 colorways out, I’ve grabbed 2 of them and they’re great. Comfortable, nice looking sneaker, good colorways and you’re not going to see a lot of people wearing them

    WELTY: You missed the obvious reason why Jordan is so big. It’s not about limited retros. It’s about apparel. All the stuff on Nike with a Jumpman. Backpacks. Socks and sweatbands. Literally everyone is sold with a Jumpman logo and that’s where the growth is

    High quality reps will change the sneaker landscape in the years to come.. it comes in circles… there is a FSR episode where Trinidad says it use to be the wave back in the day… they then mentioned Fab I think having on Gucci 11’s and not so much taboo around wearing them…

  • @Vvec15
    @Vvec15 Před 10 měsíci

    Hopefully they continue the kobe line as well as retros, but I want to see a kobe 12, 13, 14 etc..

    • @joshhutton9534
      @joshhutton9534 Před 10 měsíci

      Well they basically did. Once he retired, they continued his line with the A.D. moniker. I think there were about 3 or 4 different models under that line which would have been 12-15.
