Can't do it with this new guy. It's not a calm soothing channel anymore.

Might be an unpopular opinion, but Im glad you cut up even the hype sneakers. Really shows how much of it is hype vs price for performance.

Yeah, while Kobes shoes are certainly one of the best basketball shoe lines around, its a real shame that a lot of them now go for outrageous prices on the resale market.

Agreed. I’ll throw in another unpopular opinion. At the foundation, the Lebron 21 has the same technical features as the Kobe 6 but the Lebron it has more zoom units, better heel cushion referring to the Nike sphere tech, top loaded shank plate vs bottom, but it has a thicker upper…. To me, considering the price difference, I’d rather have the Lebron’s.. more tech in a shoe that has the same foundational features, that’s FAR cheaper and readily available. At that point I would be paying for hype, status, and legacy as opposed to actual technical features. All respect to Kobe, RIP to a legend, but I can’t bring myself to buy scalped shoes like that.

@@hammo4168 GT Cut 3 is also good too. Nike knows Kobe line is desirable so they purposely limit supply to keep that status.

Great stuff! You should do a series on dress shoes. I bought some recently and I was wishing you had some videos on cutting dress shoes in half. You can show the differences between cheaper brands and higher end ones. Lots of leather too. I think it could be an interesting series!

They're actually not built that differently from boots! (Traditionally made like Carmina, Alden, C&J, etc.) Just without the shank. There is unfortunately not much variety except for cheaper materials xd

Basketball shoes seem to come with a lot of added hype around the latest integrated tech, but what makes them so different from shoes meant for volleyball? I wonder how something like a popular asics volleyball shoe differs from a basketball shoe.

You can add tennis to the mix as well. Similar motions and lots of abrupt stop start pivoting. A comparison between the 3 would be interesting. ...now I need to go down the rabbit hole on differences between how a slo mo volley ball serve looks and how it compares to the tennis one.

Your reviews are awesome. Are you planning on reviewing/cutting the Justin Resistor boots?

Awesome addition, keep it up guys.

I had kobe 6s in high school 10 years ago and it was my favorite shoe of all time. Original release was great quality and the zoom was awesome.

Played Basketball for 30 years. Played in these during the original release. The Kobe 5, 6, and 8's are the 3 best shoes to hoop in. Period. Not overpriced 190$ just need more inventory so we all can indulge in the fruits.

played in the original Vs (as well as the IVs, all the way up to the VIIs) and the Vs were for sure the best. I felt like the VIs were a downgrade in terms of heel lockdown, which was perfect in the Vs. That was before the "Protro" though and for sure before Kobe died. These days I can't afford Kobes and even if I could I wouldn't pay the going price on hoop shoes. They're never in stock for retail

I knew that there's other KZread channels doing this type of stuff, but it's always great to see a different viewpoints. I'm sure it hurts taking apart a sneaker that costs so much, but it's really awesome to learn this stuff any the construction and purpose of the parts of the sneaker.

Great video and information man Would like to see those maximum comfort running shoes cut in half as a series. Nike invincible series being one of them

Been waiting for this one, folks!

Really nice content!! What is the thickness of the zoom turbo unit?

Please do a review of the adidas AE1! Nike basketball shoes wre great and all but the hype on the ae1's are crazy rn and i gotta know why

please we need a video on how much to do conditioning and what best products are. plus it is always possible to re-dye a shoes? angelus product for dying are ok?

To compare the danners could you do a video of the Eddie Bauer K-6's they used to be a competitor with danners boots. They are half the price but I think that compare well still.

I played in the original Kobe 1s when I was in middle school and am lucky to own a pair of Kobe 1 protros today. I don’t remember how the originals felt 😅 but thought they were great then. I also love the protros today

you should cut open the new LV timberlands! interested to see if there’s a quality difference

These sneakers are amazing

Haha that infomercial was 🔥

4th Nike in a row, would be nice, if he does the other brands aswell.

I keep looking at this shoe and can't help but think how similar it looks to the fabled Zoom Vapor 9.5 Federer used before leaving for On. Both low court shoes with very similar thread and, by looks, midsoles though quite different uppers. Y'all should get a pair and run them through here.

please do jordan 4 sb. it was the sneaker of the year 2023 and its different from other jordan 4's

I was able to play in both the original and protros. For the most part, theyre pretty similar. I will say while i enjoy the upgraded forefoot cushion in the protros, the lack of heel zoom make you feel like your heel sinks in the shoe while standing. The heel zoom in the originals made the shoe feel balanced and smooth. These new protros irritate my achilles after long periods of time

Can you review/ Cut jordan 4s?

The cheapeat reps has zoom unit at heel n forefoot (WKB) around 50$

The problem with clothing made from recycled bottles is that you take something that can be recycled and turn it into something that cannot be.

A million times yes to Snake Skin 6s. That would be amazing

Can you do an episode with karhu and premiata?

The resale market has just ruined everything. It’s not just Kobe’s. It’s almost every popular collab too.

I copped 2 pairs of these during the holiday.. I have yet to play in them or wear them. With summer around the corner I can’t wait!!! I also copped the Kobe Aquas, I feel like they are a bit long but I will wear thicker basketball socks I guess. Great video.. love the content

I've got a pretty long history of playing basketball poorly. I had the original Jordan's and many others after. I had the Barkley's, Iverson's, and many others as well. The guard on my city league team showed up with the Kobe's first, and he gave a pretty positive review. I bought some the next time I needed new shoes. They are IT, the Kobe's are the only basketball shoe, everything else is just playing.

@nickvoelker7180

Ай бұрын

Context, there is something different about the shoe. I was a D1 athlete in my prime, and I'm still in very good shape and capable of moving somewhat like an NBA player. The issues I run into with basketball shoes are durability and power transfer. I've torn many basketball shoes apart in transitional movements, they don't hold up to the forces I'm placing upon them and the seams split and soles separate. There are others that do hold up, but the materials have too much give and I lose a lot of snap in my movements. The Kobe's hold up, and provide great base to generate power. They're very rigid where it matters.

No, all the Kobe 6 Protros are only forefoot Zoom. Any breakdown you've seen that had a heel Zoom unit are using replica shoes, which still come with both the heel and forefoot Zooms. Look up Kobe 6 WK Batch on KZread for breakdowns of the specific Kobe 6 replica shoes that still have the heel Zoom.

Get back to me when these athletes paid to wear the shoes have to wear them for as long as we would wear them.

Believe it or not, Kobe's line up only sponsors two players with free shoes - Demar DeRozan and PJ Tucker, because of their close connections to Kobe. Every other player is buying them off the resell market to wear, just like regular people, because they want to wear them for clout. You have to realize a lot of NBA players are in their 20s and are big Kobe fans, just like anyone else.

pro tip - don't put your camera on the court (parquet) while dribbling. it would messed up your gear eventualy

Kobe should’ve been wearing Air Jordans in that chopper….would’ve flown right over that mountain.
