Copped a KOBE GRAIL

[@cagataysucu439]

I love how down to earth you are at all times Chris but I truly have to disagree on the idea that "anybody can do this". Because "anybody" doesn't have the same passion, drive, knowledge and delivery of knowledge as you, as far as sneakers are concerned. It's called "being a master at storytelling" and you excel at that and that's what I am a fan of.

[@essentialjordan23]

Yo Chris, don’t discount yourself, NOT everyone can do what you do.

[@grossbuoy]

Yeah honestly man, you're so comfortable and strong on camera. That in itself is a difficult thing to do my guy.

[@christiandecastro3360]

been watching your reviews since the kicksoncourt days, you're amazing man! best basketball sneaker reviewer out there! all passion for sneakers regardless of hype

[@MisterE2U]

this is the only guy left on here completely unphased by the hype and staying true. a lot of these shoe tubers forget the days when 20 dollars was hard to let go of, let alone 200, maybe they didn't have too but all i know is after 2018 this became about the money for a lot of yall and it shows

[@WearTesters]

Hey Guys! You heard the man, it's Grail Week on WearTesters. They might not have all necessarily been your personal grail but that's the fun thing about grails, everyones pick is different. Let us know your Kobe grail down below. Now, go out there and have a good one!

Kobe 11 elite Bruce Lee Kobe 11 elite Mambacurial Kobe 9 elite Moon Walker Kobe 8 Easter Kobe 7 Christmas Kobe 6 Del Sol Kobe 5 Big Stage Home

[@hanshansen3170]

My grails were the Grinches, I got them last year on snkrs still feels unreal

[@tonyh5092]

These ARE my grail.

[@QuietStorm263]

Kobe 4 prelude

[@tonyh5092]

OMG This was ment to be... I have a size 9 dead stock and I need a 10.5. LETS TRADE CHRIS 😅

[@houseofm561]

Whoop! Whoop!

[@ItachiUchiha-zu6yh]

i have a 10.5

[@Channysupreme]

@@ItachiUchiha-zu6yh u selling?

[@RavenA2K]

can i buy your size 9?

[@johnnykilroy1966]

Just goes to show that a sneaker KZbinr doesn't always need the latest hype or unreleased shoe each episode to have great content. Nightwing's love & knowledge for kicks as well as that onscreen chemistry with Jodi is why we'll always keep watching & supporting WearTesters

[@essentialjordan23]

Any mention of The Crow, and my mind immediately goes to Sting’s crow inspired character from 96-97. Those were the days...

[@VictorELayne77]

SHOWTIME!

[@jbugzy]

Yesss Sting in the rafters my greatest memory!

[@Michigan_dad]

3:00 min mark is exactly how I feel after watching your videos. You got me excited about shoes again. I feel like a kid again. 💯

[@onslaught213]

Anybody can do it but you go into full detail. And through the description and feed back you can tell the love and passion is there. That makes me come to your channel just not watch the new but old videos I never watched since I kind your channel last year.

[@bertossari-sari451]

Two Legends, Kobe and Bruce Lee, great you got them for a retail.

[@thepickle7757]

I appreciate the seller for retail sale showing love for all our love..Kobe Bruce Lee are such a dope collaboration...I love the Kobe 11 Tinker, Bruce Lee are my favorites. The Crow definitely 1 of my favorite movies..

[@amielamarasekera]

Yall immediately had me rolling with the banter at the start of the video 😂 😂 😂

[@06mikerome]

I think the fascination with this channel is that we are watching a true to form OG sneaker head. No collabs, no hype shit, no fluff of sitting or selling or how they will do in the market blah blah blah, just pure appreciation for sneakers.

[@kikosalinas4229]

Shout out to evan for the wonderful nostalgia articles in the site. Enjoyed those too!

[@sal9036]

I’ve read all of Evan’s articles on weartesters.com and they are very informative, seeing as I wasn’t around when most of those shoes were, but it’s really interesting to learn about. Weartesters as a whole unit provide such a great service, from the top class videos (I love the memes in particular *virtual high five to Jodi*) to the in depth articles. You guys deserve all the good that comes your way ✨✨😁

[@davidpeyton5816]

Love watching yer videos guys. Can never get any of the shoes ye review over her but I did have alot of the 20+ years ago. Keep it coming. Ur on court reviews have motivated me to get back on the court so thanks for that.

[@Dezolicous]

Man i really enjoy your content and your perspective on these shoes. I Love your storytelling to these shoes, which makes me enjoy shoes even more. Keep it up!

[@therealmarcc.2529]

Man, seriously, you’re making life easier. From where I’m at, you release videos around midnight. I usually stay up late working on papers. I enjoy the time more because of your new uploads. Sometimes, I watch random performance reviews and first look or first impressions and listen to you, just to lighten up and kind of lessen the stress. Thanks Mr. and Mrs. Wing!

[@GhostofMcNabb]

I love this channel and I love the community. It’s really low key here. Been watching since middle school before bed, I’m in college still doing the same shit just because it’s so damn cool here 😎

[@victorgasnier5654]

Weartesters videos are my aftershcool treat before doing my homework,always cool to have this boost of energy and fun. I love you guys, it's so cool that you get back from the community for all you do, you deserve it. Wishing you the best (and a W on a Jordan 1 '85) as always :))

[@zillzultraboy]

17 years? That's beautiful. I look forward to having that one day. & no Chris, everybody CANNOT do what you do. You have the best sneaker channel on KZbin, imo. Accept your drip, bruv.

[@vinnyninja3552]

With that A** Spankin, I remembered why I love these videos, if there's a chance to make content even more great and out of the norm of shoe reviews you see on youtube, Chris will take that opportunity!

[@reueldaniel4995]

So I'm from the Caribbean, the twin island Republic of Trinidad and Tobago and I randomly stumbled across your channel early last and I feel in love with the content and the synergy that you both have. I've subscribed and I watch all your videos, keep up the good work guys

[@WearTesters]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@seth8450]

I love watching these videos and seeing him so happy about shoes, my family can’t afford to buy Jordans or Kobes and stuff, and it’s really expensive to ship shoes to my country, but i feel the second hand happiness from this content🔥🤍

[@skyward6878]

I agree the heel is to soft in the protro V. It needs the zoom back there. The proto VI isnt as bad in the heel. Its more firm and doesn’t sink in so much.

[@marksantos2691]

Glad you got them, Chris! Was lucky to get a pair for retail too. Definitely my favorite colorway out of the 5s. Kobe grails for me are the Masterpiece 9s and the Prelude 5s.

[@TheWacoKidd44]

Completely agree, I find my shoes need to more firm as I get older. I put an insole in my protros and that seems to help with the heel drop. Boost seems to aggravate my Achilles after a while, even if it does save my knees

[@ReedMySole]

Good luck on that size swap. Thats rare now a days because certain sizes are worth more than others. I miss those size swap days. But these are awesome man. These and the grinches bring me back to the best days of nike basketball.

[@splakacheus]

Chris is like your familiar big bro you keep in touch with once in a while.

[@Shawn-ih2dq]

So glad i got my pair in December. Since u did this video, the price will go up now! These are definitely a grail, great video sir!

[@karljustinromero6139]

anybody can do this but no one do it like you guys. weartesters the goat!

[@ralphtree03]

the "And1" article from Evan is a good read and nostalgic!!

[@jetsdead]

My first ever resale purchase. Had to have them. I sold an extra pair of 350 breds to pay for these so it felt like i was getting it for retail. Another great vid!

[@falcongunner33]

I'm not crazy about the change in foam on the midsole of the 5 and 6 protro. The originals had that dual density phylon that worked so well. And there should be a heel zoom unit in my opinion.

[@selfawaredrew]

I watch your vids everyday after work and it totally chills me out, so thank you!

[@baller8184]

bruce lee is a legend, me and my fathers icon

[@bjornolofson5176]

So glad they made a retro

[@variandavid377]

I’ve actually been loving waking up to you guys everyday....granted I’m watching this later in the evening but that’s beside the point! That 90210 reference killed me!! 🤣🤣

[@erock864]

That’s just another reason I love this channel... we’re around the same age (‘82), & we grew up liking the same shit... p.s.: just copped Supreme “Raphael” t-shirt

[@gabrielrippel2250]

Oh maaann, i could spend hours watching your videos, NO ONE does it like you guys!!!!

[@elijahmorrow3834]

I’m watching this exactly 8 hours after it’s release Rip Kobe man ❤️

[@TheDylan9528]

Definitely a GRAIL 🏆.. Nice cop Chris!

[@TheGuidosj]

🔥🔥WING🔥🔥 Another phenomenal and genuine review. I love starting my mornings with y’all. We eat breakfast and drink coffee and talk sneakers almost every morning 🤣 You always bring so much honesty and authenticity to your reviews, love how y’all can always be yourselves on the channel. Ok on the the shoes, these are absolutely beautiful in all it’s glory 🥋🥋 One of the greatest Kobe colorways 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 AS USUAL🔥🔥THE BEST DAMN DUO IN THE GAME🔥🔥CHRIS & JODI 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@SlickShinobiDojo]

I hope they do another release of these! Kobe Bryant and Bruce Lee, two legends! RIP!

[@antonbabiera3335]

Brooo!!! The most dope Kobe V colorway! Two Legends in ONE SHOE! 🐍🐉🔥🔥 Great Vid Chris! Keep it up! Got mine last November in a Resell Price 😭 I should have waited to get the resell price to be down Bruce Lee's also my favorite especially in Martial Arts! 🔥🔥

[@taytranada7]

Born in 1995 but growing up my grandma randomly had The Crow on vhs & I probably watched that movie at least 20+ times growing up that movie is LEGIT

[@OctavianGreculetz]

U guys are super fun to watch! :)

[@retrocny5625]

100% my favorite Kobe 5 colorway. Hell probably my favorite kobe colorway period.

[@adamlee6010]

hey, I love waking up with u guys in the morning.

[@skymorawe3734]

Chris just seems like a really nice guy

[@lucasmayobasketball]

Great as always! Looking forward to the next one

[@nataliomartinez5151]

Your channel fuh king ROCKS! Been a fan for a min but I always watch on my tv and it doesn’t have an option to comment. Great pick up man! Took an L on these like most releases nowadays. I do have an og pair but my air insoles are blown out and they are tore the F-up from rocking them since day one. I actually wear them for sparring now. Anyway keep up the awesome work and just wanted to let you know that every time I watch you with your wife I think to myself “you know what man that was a good time” lol

[@WearTesters]

🙏🏼

[@Scott.A.Hettenbach]

We need more grail videos! Woop woop!!!!

[@GhostofMcNabb]

Had to watch. I recently got one of my Kobe grails for an absolute steal, it’s a great feeling 💪🏾

[@DK_Raiders117]

These are awesome! I wanted them as well but couldn’t beat the bots. Happy for you!!!

[@JXsneakerhead]

Another dope vid by the best KZbin couple! My Kobe grail with Adidas is the KB1 Sunshine 98 AllStar..got the OG and retro..and Nike I have to go with the KB1 81 points joints no doubt! Greetings from where it's not cold in the land lol!

[@osmanayguen]

Ma boi getting one grail after another and I am happy for him! Keep doing the great work! U deserve it. Making us still love sneakers these days✌🏼 #bekind #beyourself

[@jianjian2323]

I hope they make a protro of kobe 8 soon. I remembered myself wanting them so bad but back then I didn't have the money to buy one. Love that model specially the black and yellow one.

[@tsunamipapisvybes5222]

Kyrie’s line is similar to the Kobe line and tbh I love your guys videos every morning plus before I go to my basketball training

[@joserod05]

I’m a 10.5!! I’ll buy them off you! And as for the 7’s the Galaxy colorway is amazing too

[@JJcDAmAn1]

Finally got my pair a while back too. It's such a nice looking sneaker

[@argo60]

It's really weird, isn't it? I too, being older, find that the more the cushy the cushion, the more my knees hurt. Had to get rid of a full mid-sole Boost shoe a while ago since I couldn't even walk around in them for an hour. I too, have gravitated to newer shoes that either have Bounce if adidas (or Bounce-like), or a firmer set-up cushioning. Btw, I can walk around in my retro New Balances (old school foam, ie, DEAD cushioning) ALL day with no joint complaints even though I have clinically BAD knees...

[@flightschoolcustomfootwear]

Finally a custom!! That's a clean custom too!! I wanna do a Wear Testers custom for you guys! Whatever silhouette you want, I'll make it happen!

[@EdCervantes93]

CHEERS FOR CHRIS!!!!!!!!! The "Bruce Lee" color way is a GRAIL! Keep It Up man!!! - Eddy OUT!!! #nightwing

[@TLEE1977]

You deserve these my guy. SN: Your grey is coming in way cooler than mine did.

[@QuietStorm263]

Love these Kobe’s, been wearing them a lot 🔥🔥

[@tnogrey7877]

Had the white ones, but sold them because of the white sock liner. I plan to get the og color way

[@Ervinisafanofmj]

I'm stuck between getting the alternates and the bruce Lee's, in your opinion,which one looks better in person? I was kinda feeling the white ones but sometimes they look iffy to me

[@CF-ks8zw]

I know you are gonna drop a T Mac 2 vid! We need one from ya!

[@aaronhensley5359]

Nightwing is the hero we need and the not the hero we deserve.

[@ryansim1492]

I got a size 9DS because the gyms are still closed. but Im over here at Brentwood CA.

[@afielde11]

Picked up this when StockX had discounted seller fees in December. Wish I would have gotten the alternates as well

[@sdawg4834]

I dont particularly care for the alternate bruce lee 5's.... Maybe if they flip flopped the original bruce lee colorway but just keeping all that white out. Basically, a reversed up color scheme on the bruce Lee's would've been cooler than all that white on the alternates which are a pass for me

[@LikeTheChile]

Love those, just bit the bullet on resell before it shot up but my nostalgia got to me. Hate these kobe resellers

[@james352]

my favorite kobe is the Adidas Kobe 1. The storm trooper colorway goes crazy.

[@TryOnKicks]

Already have my Kobe Grinch & Bruce Lee coming in a few days🔥🔥

[@jmd20k71]

Same thing happens with me the back of my foot feels weird when I wear these too long. And ultra boost for being a running shoe I cannot wear them more than 30 minutes. I still absolutely love them tho

[@jthewei]

i see kobe i click. nice pickup Chris! These kobes are top 5 for me ever!

[@PaladioBlaze]

We love when y'all randomly ramble on

[@InZaneKicks]

Hype or no hype it doesn't matter. Kobe's Bruce Lee colorways are amazing.

[@johnlindsay7301]

There’s nothing “weird” about an infatuation with Bruce Lee. He was the 1st GOAT of humans.

[@puyotthegreat2]

Hey Nightwing! Idk if you know the shoe retail Sole Supremacy, but I had contacted them a while back when I had bought a pair of Kobe V Chaos but they were a size too small, and asked if I could trade mine in for a size up. Depending on the condition of the shoe they might ask you to pay a little, but for my shoes they were brand new and they did an even trade. I had to pay for shipping, but I felt like it was worth it to get one of my grails! Hope this helps!

[@Drew.Whitcomb]

Love Sole Supremacy

[@rchow4100]

i feel the same with boost, ive switched over to hovr and its just right cos its abit firmer than boost however when i run in them they are still a little bit too bouncy so i might have to switch back to a pegasus or new balance or something lol

[@M3ballcity]

I love grail week idea

[@eduardsondeguzman9421]

I wanted the Kobe 5 Bruce Lee so bad but I wasn’t lucky enough to cop. Broke my heart. 😢

[@mrhassour]

Hey quick question hopefully you can help. I’m going to pick these up but want to know if I should go a half size up or not. I got the all star 6s but they tight and could have gone up half a size. Not trying to make the same mistake. Especially cause these a so expensive.

[@WStar4Life]

I never hit on Kobes but recently hit on the Protro 6 All Star and hit on the Undefeated 5 Hall of Fame today. Can’t believe I hit on the Undefeated Hall of Fame 5s

[@jmg387]

After watching this video. “You know what man. That was a good time.”

[@aleslupisan9076]

I know it's been out for already a month, I hope you do an Adidas Forum 84 review. Thanks!

[@medicmikerelf3309]

Now I Paid Resell For The Kobe Bruce Lee Alternate I had to that 1

[@reelessential8973]

I was staring to wonder when some hot shoes were gonna be tested. 😅 can we see notre dunks. Bodega dunks, AJ1 neutral greys?

[@mikeh.9954]

Jodi with the shade!! :)

[@carmeloantonio9690]

Still waiting for the dark knight to retro. Those are 🔥

[@thedude3140]

These are my favorite Kobe’s it’s between these and the BHM 9s or the showtime 9s

[@bigdawgjd]

The reverse Bruce Lee was one of the two shoes I actually tried to get last year... and of course LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

[@FallenRaven]

Missed out on both this and the alternate color, even the Kobe 6 Grinch. Too bad I won’t get them anymore for retail. I just wish Nike will keep creating these Protros FOR THE FANS. It will be a total disservice to Kobe if resellers keep making money out of his shoes.

[@michaelquitasol9487]

Jodi is relationship goals!

[@DariousK1NG1]

I could always tell those weren’t the Bruce Lee 5s on the back wall because of the hell counter, I just didn’t know what they actually were

[@Egodynamic]

I’m a 10.5 but don’t have a 9 to trade. I do work for Nike and can get you anything online in a size 9 as a trade (if you get desperate 😉😂)

[@raygun2021]

I picked up the bruce lee alternate on Christmas eve on a restock, when I missed out on the grinches

[@kuyajay01]

Had me and my wife dying! I do that Bruce Lee hand/arm blocking thing to my wife all the time when she tries to hand me stuff.

[@gerardoaguirre8439]

The alternate version are def the White Ranger kicks
