The fact that they want these to be “limited and collectible” pisses me off so much. If anything, after Kobe’s death, they should have made it easy for any and all Kobe fans to obtain his shoes. What a shame.

Motherfuckers run THOUSANDS of bots to get into queues for these drops

Collectible? Kobe’s are meant to hoop in, got bought up by bots for people to resale to people that aren’t even gunna lace them up for runs is annoying

there will be more general releases, obviously this is a special themed colorway so it’s gonna have a limited stock. unpopular opinion to some, but not everything should be a GR, its how you kill a shoe

They tryna turn the Kobe line into Jordan line. They tryna create hype first

Just these ones specifically kid. Relax. They will make plenty shoes for you to be able to get. Vanessa made sure that was the deal when re-signing with Nike. Nothing wrong with a limited release.

My momma said if you don’t got nothing nice to say then don’t say it all.
I think ima apply this logic to Vanessa. We know what nike is. I think Vanessa’s real colors are starting to show. I also don’t want stans reporting me or getting me kicked out this sub for calling it how I’m starting to see it

I don’t understand why they do this, they know that the shoes will sell, why make them so hard to get when you can make more and they will all still sell?

If there isn’t a massive GR for Kobe’s at some point, I’ll be hella pissed. Screw this limited bs.

So many people love to play ball in Kobes. They should never be limited with Nike’s standard promotional BS.

I have this fear that they’re all going to be “limited” … hopefully Vanessa can change that bc that was not Kobe’s dream! Freakin Nike….

Just buy reps holy shit, it’s not that hard. You’re saving money, getting an identical shoe, and you’re not giving Nike any business.

Fuck Nike and all of those fuckers charging so much for a damn shoe made for super cheap in a repressed country.
And I’m NOT a college kid that is idealistic. Old self employed dude busting his ass.
Just super greedy shit.
On a positive note, go Lakers!

Ngl these are the worst Kobe’s I’ve seen.
Straight up hospital shoes

Mann it’s stupid. It eeally frustrates me. Basketball shoes and being limited sucks!!
Hilaveli
These, in particular, were never going to be easy to get. I think we knew that from the moment they were announced. It is what it is.
But yeah, I fully agree that Nike needs to do better.

Yeah, but you’ll still try for it anyway.
