Why Is Everyone Hoopin' In Kobe 6s

Спорт

While watching EuroLeague & NBA, we noticed something. Almost everyone is wearing the same shoe - Kobe 6s. In this video, BasketNews' Gytis Blazevicius takes a look at what might be the secret formula of success behind all of it.

    Just sharing you this, as Romans 6:23 says, for the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. God loves you so much that he sent his son Jesus Christ to die on the cross to pay the price of all our sins. After 3 days after he died,he rose up from the dead. He will accept you not matter what you been through or have done. Accept the lord Jesus Christ as you lord and savior and ask forgiveness of all your sins to be saved from sin and have eternal life and not go to hell Jesus is our only hope for salvation and the if you don’t accept him you will not heaven and you will go to hell if you don’t accept Jesus Christ as your lord and savior ❤

    High cuts feel way too chunky on my feet. Mid cuts are the best. If I need any more ankle protection I'd wear straps/braces but even that'd mean I gotta go half a size up on my shoes. Compression socks are the best.

    Yep, they're supposed to feel stiff, that's what ankle-protection means. Perosnally it saved me from a bad ankle sprain on more than one occasion. Low cuts definitely feel better, no question about it, but less secure. Some people say "just wear ankle braces" or would lecture you about strengthening your ankles, but every foot's anatomy is different and there's no single truth that will work for everyone.

    The Kobe VI are low tops, low to the ground outsole, and barely any heel drop (basically flat) everything from they Kobe V and after are basically a modern Converse All Star. Converse got it right over 100 years ago, you can actually ball in the Converse Chuck 70, the rubber outsole and the cushion insole provides enough protection (don’t try to play in the cheaper Chuck’s though, they are literally defined as slippers to avoid import tax laws). The whole “low cut,low outsole” is genius marketing, Bill Russell was jumping out of the gym every game in low cut Converse All Stars, look at old NBA photos from 1950s-60s, the low top Chucks were just as popular as the high tops. TIME IS A FLAT CIRCLE ⭕️.

    05:18 ...for the same reason that pro bball players wrap their ancles solid with tape while in other sports they don't. Basketball is a sport where you jump among many players and thus you have higher chances of landing on top of another foot and sprain your ancle. Kawhi could say a lot about the matter :P . Of course the low cuts have other advantages but for all the non pros that play basketball out there and don't get their ancles braced by some physio guy before the games, the mid-high cuts offer some protection
