In your opinion what is the best or most comfortable basketball shoe to play in and just wear in general? Is it Kobe?. Is it maybe melos puma shoes?. I've been wearing those they are really nice and comfortable but they take some getting use to. The toe part is off the ground and when you walk its hard to explain it feels like a step up on the toe part and when you walk feels weird. Lebrons I think are the worst basketball shoe. Also kyrie I love them love the way the look but everyone I know has sprained there ankle in em. Even youtubers talk about it cash a d jesser from 2 hype said they always strain their ankles In em
@@mumble97 nah he’s cut open thousands of dollars worth of shoes. Plus he’s used these and so they lose resell value instantly. This was more of a respect thing
Hi Zach! Loved the review and thank you for not cutting these up 🔥. Just a quick note, the shoes you did ended cutting up is actually the regular kobe 6 from way back with heel zoom and the the met bag in the forefoot. The Protro 6 midsole is different as it is made up from full length Cushlon and forefoot zoom turbo a la Kyrie 7
@@FootDoctorZachkinda late, but the Cushlon and Zoom Turbo in the forefoot weren’t the only things changed, but the heel Zoom was removed completely in the Protros. So now the official set up is full length Cushlon and forefoot Zoom Turbo, and that’s it.
We all were like “nooooo” when we saw the thumbnail because of the shoe cutting 😂😂. I knew Zach was gonna respect the Mamba family. Obviously it’s just a shoe, but I love how thoughtful Zach is.
Great review Zach! I agree, these are possibly the best basketball shoe ever made. So many people want to hoop in the Kobe 6 but the aftermarket price is so high. Thank you
So glad you did a Kobe review. As a hooper myself I can say that the Kobe line is by far the best Performance basketball sneaker ever made. The low top feel with crazy materials and grip. Just all around a dope shoe
The thought you put into this and the consideration you gave is the reason Im subscribed to this channel and keep coming back here for your reviews and information. Thank you.
I’m really torn about whether I’d like to see the shoe cut in half. I have some Kobe 6 OG’s in great condition and I can’t wait to get the protro’s to compare. Great vid
Mad respect for this and great video as usual. Need a 6 in general but Nike makes it hard to get any of their basketball shoes which is just madness to me. Still need the GT Jumps but I’m not paying resale.
My heart almost sank when i saw that knife next to them!!! Then a sigh of relief when i saw you bring out that older pair. YES!! i have some Kobe 6 ID and yes! When you wear them its like they want you play in them. As a stocky guy almost like you....i knew what you meant when you said it wants to make plays. One of many things Mamba left behind for us to enjoy and remember him.. RIP Gigi and Kobe!
ZACH. You are a REVELATION. You have helped me so much in the last couple weeks, and I think I know what shoe I'm getting, all thanks to you. As an overweight guy, I would really love a more in-depth breakdown on the best shoes for heavier and lighter players, like the small one you had in the Spring '22 shoe guide!
The Kobe’s you cut up aren’t protros but actually OGs, protros only got the zoom turbo and cushlon while the OGs got the forefoot met bad and heel zoom with phylon midsole
As a huge Kobe fan and one that tries to embrace his mentality every day, i was super disappointed when I couldn’t play in these just because I didn’t get exclusive access.
I love this channel! I always wait for your uploads, Doc. My favorite part is the midsole teardown because I can see if the offset of the shoe is neutral or not. Thank you for your informative content!
So respectful i love what you do man only place i go for reviews can you review older classic hoop shoes also i think i speak for a lot of us we would love to see you review all the kobes from the past that would be a amazing moment
Kobe 9 low!!! Best basketball shoe ever in my opinion. As an avid hooper and Kobe line collector to me this has the best heel lock down, traction and midfoot support. I would love to see you review it.
Thankyou for reviewing this, even though I wouldn't have a chance of grabbing this pair because they sell out very quickly and the resellers taking advantage of the situation. Thankyou for sharing your experience.
I can’t tell you how many angry messages I got from people just seeing the thumb and assuming it was cut- I guess that’s a good thing people recognize them so we’ll they start seeing things haha
Love these videos and respect for not destroying those grails, however the blue Kobe 6 is from the orginal 2010-2011 release, the rubber on the protros outsole is much softer. The protro kobe line is a retro Kobe release with some new nike techs like replacing the original zoom with the new turbo and a stronger shank plate.
Compared to the og the proto is just lackluster because there are no zoom at the heel(something i really liked in alot of the shoes ), and since it does not that combined with the zoom turbo forefoot it might cause arch pain because the forefoot sits too high and the rearfoot sits lower to the ground. And there are no major changes to the shoe that actually really upgraded the performance, and in some perspectives downgraded the performance
First thought I had when I saw this video was “Man I hope he doesn’t cut those up” and I don’t know why I even though, the man respects the shoe game👏🏾👏🏾
Great review... as usual! Would like to se review of Kobe 1 protro, those were released couple of years ago and it would be great to see those available again. One of the all time great performers.
Glad you got a pair I’m a straight Kobe head when it comes to basketball shoes. I didn’t get access for these. 💔 but yes. These Kobe’s are by far my favorite shoes to play in of all time. I have some originals from 2010 that I still play in along with the protros. It takes time to break in but once they do that bite is super aggressive. Even had to return a few back in the day because the outrigger would rip on hard lateral cuts. I currently use the all star protros with the move pro insole and that’s a whole elevated experience.
Awesome review! I just wish the Kobe 6 Protros are widely and easily available. Sadly I'll most likely never get to try a pair because of scalpers who want to profit from the shoes
I always wondered why I loved playing BBall in my Nike Pegasus 39's (running shoes) but the cushioning zoom setup is near identical to these 6's... I don't recommend for other's unless you have soccer ankles like myself...
Is that an actual Pro tro that's cut in half? It doesn't look like a zoom turbo unit in the front and a lot of reviewers are saying there isn't a heel zoom unit anymore.
I wish you would have just cut it open. Nike is notorious for lying about the tech in shoes. Nike lied about the Kobe 4 protro tech, they lied about the Jordan 15 retro tech, they lied about the Kobe 5 protro tech. So at would have been nice to see what was inside
Thank you for the review I love Kobe sixes I play in the All-Stars often I just recently picked up the Kobe seven London Fireberry and the galaxies I hate that it’s so hard to get issues anymore people just want to make a profit they are meant to be encore and to be enjoyed
as a hooper I love the Kobe line. maybe because im a lakers fan. I love my protro 4's and would love to see you do a video on them. I was hoping you would do a Kobe pretor 4 , 5, 6 as these are the most popular NBA shoes
Loved this Video Zach. Can you please do a video of the Nike GT cut and The KD15 I'm conflicted on which one to get of of those 2 since I heard they have a somewhat similar cushioning setup. (The Nike GT cut is not too scarce in Malaysia)
The other shoe is an OG 6- just misspoke -but all the differences are shown in the midsole section from the OG to the Protro
Can we see the tech on ISPA Road Warrior
hope you get to do a video on wade 808 2

You should hoop in more shoes. These are good shoes. But outside of them being “Kobe’s”. They are like many Nikes out there you can still get. 🤷🏽♂️

A big thanks to you doc. That shoe is a time capsule/grail shoe for us true fans of Kobe and Gigi. Thanks for the vid.
Mad respect for this and great video as usual. Need a 6 in general but Nike makes it hard to get any of their basketball shoes which is just madness to me. Still need the GT Jumps but I’m not paying resale.
Dear Lord my heart dropped when I saw the thumbnail but of course you never disappoint. Thank you for the outstanding content
You are a 🐐 for not cutting these 🙏🏾 there’s always going to be another Kobe 6 to cut but not another one like this ! Rip Kobe & Gianna Bryant

Excellent review as always. I’d love to see your take on all Kobe protros if possible, especially the 1 and 5
THANK YOU FOR NOT CUTTING IT OPEN OH MY GOODNESS but yes just like you, I am also curious as to what is inside it
As a huge Kobe fan and one that tries to embrace his mentality every day, i was super disappointed when I couldn’t play in these just because I didn’t get exclusive access.
I actually bought these and the grinch’s one to save for the future these are sick👍🏻

When I saw the thumbnail I feared for my life, thank goodness you ain’t cut em up 😭😂 absolutely NEED a Kobe 8 & 9 protro 🔥
Respect Doctor Zach for preserving these Mambacita's, at least you can enjoy and appreciate some sneaker history.
Great attitude from a great person. Congrats bro, you're the man,a big hug from Brazil
So respectful i love what you do man only place i go for reviews can you review older classic hoop shoes also i think i speak for a lot of us we would love to see you review all the kobes from the past that would be a amazing moment
Bro when I saw the knife I was about to scream. Thank god you didn’t cut them cos they so fire 🔥
These are so beautiful! Haven’t played in my pair yet but really looking forward to these!
Kobe 9 low!!! Best basketball shoe ever in my opinion. As an avid hooper and Kobe line collector to me this has the best heel lock down, traction and midfoot support. I would love to see you review it.
amazing review Zach!! I've been trying to get my hands on the 6s, but they are just so difficult to get.
If you liked these you'd love the Kobe 8s
Thankyou for reviewing this, even though I wouldn't have a chance of grabbing this pair because they sell out very quickly and the resellers taking advantage of the situation. Thankyou for sharing your experience.
first time to see your thumbnail without a dismantled shoe.... I know you wouldn't dare hahahaha

Hey Doc do you think you could do more protro/retro reviews? Would love to see the kobe 5, 7, 9 and Jordan 11, 12!
Will you be doing a review of the KD 15s?
I had to check the comments onset, my anxiety level rose soon as I saw those cutters. :'( Thanks for not killing the shoe
I’m not sure if you have a video out already but could you do a video about best basketball shoes for those who have tailor bunion? Thanks!

Definitely need those mambacitas, looking forward for 7,8,9s...

I think the kobe 5s most comfortable basketball shoe ever . Puma melo are pretty good too kobe are the best. Thank god you didn't cut em up
Hey
that model, the older one, it went without the prefix "Protro"
love the video ,do you think putting an orthodic in it will cause issues? (in the 6 protros)
Best Kobes,
I like the 4s as well
Love your content man!! Keep it up!! Just subscribed 🙏
Glad to have you on board
Nice decision doc. DONT cut the new kobes. Respect ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The kd 15 are releasing you should definetly try those
Great vid!
Thank you so much doc, Kobe 11 next review
Am i the only one who hurts my knees when using kobe 6?
Imo this is the best low top basketball shoe ever
at 1:10 wearing them outside is crazy man
A good Operation by the Doctor. Best shoes ever made. Next best and an actual rival is the Hyperdunk 2011 Supreme.
as a hooper I love the Kobe line. maybe because im a lakers fan. I love my protro 4's and would love to see you do a video on them. I was hoping you would do a Kobe pretor 4 , 5, 6 as these are the most popular NBA shoes
I got so scared when I saw this shoe on your channel
i do hope they release kobe protro 1, 4, 5 and 6 again in the future not just a one time thing
Thanks for ur work boss
Loved this Video Zach. Can you please do a video of the Nike GT cut and The KD15
I'm conflicted on which one to get of of those 2 since I heard they have a somewhat similar cushioning setup. (The Nike GT cut is not too scarce in Malaysia)
how i hope i can have one of these shoe
😔
