Hope they do a Protro of the "Bruce lee" colorway

[@WearTesters]

💯

[@CYSA2122]

100 percent yes to the Bruce Lee's coming back.

[@PassingTheJ]

I still have og in great shape but I really want the dark knights to return

[@vuks-fj7fl]

those fire ye

[@karlalexisasesor5819]

Prelude 5s. Those were pretty.

[@4ourcorners]

Shoutouts to Nike, they released the KD 12 in Warriors and Nets colorways.

[@KrAyZi3GaMinG]

Chris my man, she have been with you through Chocolate and Garlic, the good times and bad.....she is a queen indeed...protect her with all your might my friend.....oh yeah, great review yo...

[@jonjaaay]

Haven't watched a video of yours in a while but I love the interview-like interjections by your lady. She seems genuinely into your passion. Great job!

[@FlyEaglesFly333]

The Kobe V is one of the cleanest shoes of all time. Beautiful.

[@youngalexito9323]

I need the “Dark Knights” in those silhouette 💙🖤

[@RickDom2345]

Still have my OG Chaos pair from when I worked at Footlocker Valley Fair when it still existed. Right when the best of Nuke Basketball started to happen.

[@Gump-tion]

You guys give some of the best reviews. Love the historical references behind the shoes. Keep it up!

[@brucebale1]

Rip Kobe. Legend 🙏🏼

[@WearTesters]

The Kobe 5 Protro 'Chaos' released today!!! Happy dances are happening over here. Now let us know, what is your favorite colorway of the Kobe 5. Which ones are you hoping make a comeback? Go ahead. Make a list! And as always, thanks for watching!

[@ShaqKicks]

WearTesters check out my comparison video bro

[@Aznboi3328]

I busted my 4s in my first game, should I grab the 5s or would I bust those too?

[@suckmyballsstan]

Dope review as always. And Nightwing gets a shout out in the latest Complex Sneakers Podcast 👍

[@DaReaIJesus]

My first and only pair of Kobes was the Kobe 5 Miles Davis colorway. Liked them a lot back then but looking at them now they look kinda weird. Might go for a different colorway once one I like drops

[@intr33guing]

Hoping for a Bruce Lee and Dark Knight release!

[@marcosolis6249]

Been waiting for you to release this review , my favorite part was when you guys were talking about the price $180 "ouch" what about a coupon.. no "Damn it"

[@jayzson30]

Damn, RIP Kobe Bryant. Looks like this will be the last shoe designed and wore by him. I hope to get my hands on a pair.

[@Cynnik911]

He retired in 2016 and wore the 11's as his last shoe worn in game

[@jayzson30]

@@Cynnik911 Yes, I was aware of that. As of my post, I was referring to the last one he designed and wore prior to his passing. I also know there is another one coming out to commemorate his "championships" but I heard Nike has put those on hold.

[@juliuslolarga4817]

Greetings to Nightwing Family 🥰 I remember Kobe wore these X'Mas game at Staples 2009-2010 against Lebron & Shaq's Cleveland 🏀 Love and Support from your Big Fan from Canada 🇨🇦 🤜🤛 cheers 🥂

[@johnnycage435]

That’s why I’ve always liked Penny’s shoes they come in every color way they just tend to hurt

[@anfer.sneeze]

the del sol colorways for kobes have aleays been my favorite.

[@bobjames2618]

Thanks for all the reviews NightWing!!! Never buy a shoe until I watch the review from you! Got a pair of KD 12 peach jams on the way and can’t wait to play! Keep going brother!

[@SHUTTLEBOY]

I still fiending for the purple Kobe 5s. Sneaker grail of mine I always wanted as a kid!!

[@Ph03n1xX87]

Back in the days it was for me the „dark knight“ CW Today I would call it „nightwing“ cw Love what you doing Greetings from Germany

[@AnthonyWilliams_83]

I’m not the biggest Kobe line fan but these as a low and the colorway are fire!!! My favorite Kobe’s are the 9 and 2.

[@rbkazn1]

These and the 4s look great but one thing that I don't like about these two Protros is that they are heavier than the OGs. I remember being surprised at how light the originals were, especially the 5, but the Protros are noticeably heavier. I grabbed a pair of my old 5s to compare and it's super light. That was one of the cool things about the original Kobe 4-6, how light they were. That Cushlon midsole in the Protro 5 added a lot of weight as well as taking the Lunarlon out the Protro 4 for Phylon.

[@zoom2driver]

I had the blackout colorway of these, and yeah, busted right through them overtime. As far as favorite colorway, Chaos is sick, but for the 5, its gotta be Bruce Lee. I like the Chaos colorway in the 6 better.

[@yeswanyie8857]

Looking forward to the review, the heel compression looks amazing ❤

[@KingLeonidas23]

Your on point again Chris, we both grew up when players had their signatures associated with their team colors, Mike , Penny , Grant Hill, Ewing’s. I’d wish we see more of that now but we don’t (super sad mamba face)

[@variandavid377]

My very first pair of Kobes were the Vs! I absolutely get your “thing” about the signature team colorway. I’m the same way especially with Jordans...I NEED them in bulls blk/red !!! I do miss the home and away team colorways too. It’s ironic because brands will come up with “team inspired” colorways....but you don’t really get actual team colorways anymore....unless they are player exclusives. 🤷🏽‍♂️ I guess the last ones sorta were the KD 12 GSW colorways .....and the Anta KT shoes.

[@jimwhite4270]

Just copped the last pair of size 11 in all of Toronto! So stoked!

[@williamelam6754]

I got mine. Struck out on snkrs app but was able to cop in footlocker. Wasn’t any easy grab but can’t wait for them to arrive. Biggest Kobe fan ever

[@ginoisballer]

Met this dude today. Super down to earth and hella chill. Glad to be a fan, and see this channel grow to what it is today!

[@WearTesters]

🙏🏼

[@therestingmitchface6241]

I NEED these, the Kobe 5 is what got me into sneakers back when I was in high school

[@nouieg667]

That Weartesters logo drop sound while wearing bass heavy earphones is da bomb..

[@weiranjiang2874]

I tried them in store today. Fit is exactly like original which is great. Cushion wise I can’t feel anything under foot. I’m about 160 pounds

[@ilogart23]

I lucky copped one of the 2 size 10 at Hillsdale Mall. Favorite Kobe V colorways 1. Chaos 2. Bruce Lee 3. Dark Knight 4. Inline (coped 2 on release day) 5. Black Del sol (owned) 6. White del sol (owned) 7. Big Stage (both home and away) 8. POP (owned)

[@penndavis471]

the Prelude 5’s are so dope too

[@zone5breezy]

I was iffy about copping but these look sooooo much better in person and your reviews are on point as usual. These are super tight and I thought they sent me a half size smaller.

[@rjayesperon2924]

i hope they protro the bruce lees 😩 that’s a double up.. and the dark knights are dope too.. would love a pair of black chaos

[@doncarlopestanas756]

red all star game V is my favorite... went to the all star game in dallas that year. purchased the red Vs in a footlocker and flew back home to CA wearing them on feet.

[@filipiino96793]

Just picked up some 6s, 7s, and 8s for outrageously low prices. Just need to get a pair of these and the 4s to really relive the elite sock days.

[@kevinwcs]

Been waiting for the Del Sol Vs since the Kobe Protro 1s got released, can't wait to get another pair.

[@RPerez6241]

If you have any Nike sb's or Jordan SB collab shoes... The insoles have a small zoom bag in the heel. Swap out the Kobe insole and boom forefoot and heel zoom cushion 😊

[@nickels317]

I feel you, i like my Kobe's Laker color ways

[@johnw2304]

I remember buying the black/red/white colorway with my own money. That's crazy, I didn't even recognize these

[@yubapofan]

I was in 7th grade when the kobe 5 came out and my pops got me the lakers colorway that u metioned and i couldnt beleive how light the shoe was. Good times

[@shayp3kicks]

Video just made me hype for my pair on the way!!!! Legggggo💪🏾

[@joserod05]

Finally!!!! I love it when they have colors to match the team, that’s why I got the Kobe 4 carpe diem over the draft day ones since I am a Laker fan and not a hornets one lol

[@Muzikman2k11]

Reluctantly passed on these today. $180+tax is just too much for any sneaker. I love kobes but price points are just crazy nowadays.

[@trungbiscuit1]

I loveee it when Chris drops Mamba faceeeeeee

[@alextsiri]

I’ve been watching a bunch of your videos! Love your stuff, you both are so good! Keep it up :)

[@whodatmyan]

I remember getting my Del Sol V's for 8th grade, walked in wanting the white and purple colorway

[@thisguytm3302]

I hope the NEVER STOP releasing the huarache 2k4s period

[@talanlizotte1668]

I was just watching another one of your. ids when your notification came on😂❤️

[@marksantos2691]

Unfortunately, I struck out on this. This hit me right in the nostalgia. Had the Laker colorway back in high school, they're really beat but man i still keep em to remember how insane the 5s were. Can't wait for the performance review!

[@nolastnamejames177]

Dark Knight and POP colorways for me! I feel you on the team colorway aspect. The ‘jet black’ colorway of the Kyrie 6 is a team colorway.

[@therealmarcc.2529]

I am pleased with the upgrades. At least now, there will be no worries about heel zoom popping. Hope the protro the POP colorway!

[@Isaac2.]

I unlocked the NBA 2K20 version of these which is a different color way that is rumored to only have 2200 pairs made and the carbon fiber is better quality than the Air Jordan 11 breds/playoffs. Oh yeah the purple Lebron 17 that your wife talked about was a collab with 2K also that is why Nike did that colorway!

[@WearTesters]

These have a glass based carbon fiber composite shank. It’s lighter in weight and is a little less strong than the spring plates found on the AJ11.

[@Isaac2.]

WearTesters interesting, well it felt like it was better quality

[@brauprx]

Never had the chance to play in the OG V, my first Nike Kobe signature was the 1 and then the 6, but I have always loved the Chaos, Bruce Lee and Finals colorways. I miss those old days too, with every signature shoe released in teams colorways and maybe one or even two non team cw's (like the AJ 13 Flint and Brave blue lows, those were so damn gorgeous).

[@neon8188]

I got the Kyrie 4s in the Boston Celtic color way, one of the best shoes , for a shift player like me, indoor or out ,

[@Phonoodles408]

That’s literally the nicest shoes I’ve ever seen

[@mgs7988]

been waiting for this video! just waiting for the drop here in NZ! awesome video!

[@robertoarmstrong7317]

Hooo-eeeee these are the OG bad boyz

[@mattcortez1694]

I was 15 yrs old when this release 10yrs ago and now that i have the means to buy it i was not lucky enough to get one , hopefully they release other cw and cop one

[@skyward6878]

I still have my originals. Still looks good. Picked these up this morning on the sneakers app.

[@voolian]

as an avid shoe collector you are probably 1-3% of actual consumers. It is partially because of trades and how the sneaker market has transformed over the years. Very hard to generate mass hype for a Team colorway, which is why they offer Nike ID now so they can cover that part of the market

[@andreilorenzocatangay7328]

He already called them bad bois!

[@sysda1]

They NEEEED to protro some Jordan shoes like the 3s, 4s, 11s, 12s, & 13s...now that would be 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@xx_eazy-lee_xx5559]

Sold out instantly?! I actually think that colour way is hideous. The 2k20 isn’t as bad. But laker colour way is 🔥 I need them again!

[@jefferrrson1x]

my favorite shoe of all time. the heel counter system is THE BEST lockdown of all time. The insoles are different though... my video will show it soon :)

[@christianhernandez867]

I am do glad they bring a og shoe back from Kobe

[@beastmodegaming8855]

RIP Kobe

[@fdevera]

Hey Chris, you are man. Love your reviews these were my favorite from the Kobe line and IV’s of course and maybe 6. I use to play a lot of ball in the Bay and a few Filipino leagues up in the Easbay as well. I had my biggest games in the Wolf Grey color way lol. Keep up the good work!

[@RickDom2345]

Really wish we could have gotten a “protro” OG the Kobe 4 “Joker” 😪

[@MartellTrayvonne]

Rick2345 know anyone that needs a sz 12??

[@deoaglinao5136]

KillBell 313 how much for a size 12?

[@MartellTrayvonne]

Deo Aglinao ill do 325 plus ship! Can ship out in the am priority mail

[@kamotecity]

I kept on saying that I'll just wait for other colorway. I've never had a kobe 5 in my life until i ate my words last week. My friend ask a favor to pick up his pair, then when i went home, i still insist that ill be waiting for the other colorway then i saw ur vid then everything just changed hahaha.

[@rolandsnaglis6302]

Super excited for kobe 6 protro

[@kelvin108]

Awesome review once again. I still have my og pair that I balled back in the day. Can't wait for these to drop in Australia.

[@tizianobruni4865]

Totally agree! Used to love the “team” shoe colorway I think NBA removed the shoe color restriction for players. That’s probably why we lost team signature colors..😒

[@godlevel5495]

I know it haven't been that long but seeing those brings back memories lol

[@seaneubanks4380]

These are dope. Didn’t cop but maybe in the future. Great review & story time as always. We need the Bruce Lee’s, Mambacurials (both in a full sz segment pls), Grinch (have a pair but w/ better materials 😭😭😭) & the Barcelona kicks ASAP pls.

[@seaneubanks4380]

Oh! Dope ass hoodie Mr. Wing. Straight 🔥🔥🔥

[@herculesplayinguitar]

I got the black and purple ones for christmas as my first basketball shoes... the sad thing is that I stepped on a nail one day when there was renovation going on at my house and it punctured the heel cushion..

[@seanjean941]

Same here. I always go for the team colorway.

[@LordBass10]

the kobe 5 was my first sig basketball shoe. i remember getting the navy and white but wanting the all blue upper one. Also i agree on the idea of the first color or one of the first colorways of a sig shoe should be in the athletes team colors.

[@LordBass10]

the colorway i wanted is apparently being called "miles davis"

[@initiald911]

I totally agree with you about the home team colorway. I cannot believe like 6 Curry 6 colorway had been released and not a single Warriors colorway. The suppose Dubnation colorway look more like Sea Hawks.

[@Civickid96]

Awesome review Chris! I ended up picking up a pair from Nike and was surprised these sold out everywhere online. Can't wait to see this in performance. Imagine if they brought back Dark Knights!!!!

[@disgraced101]

Not going to lie, came for the Mamba face gimmick. I was not disappointed.

[@rioserik4]

Is the fit the same as the Kobe 4?

[@KarateStanceConor]

Love this shoe. Love the video. Love having your wife join at the end.

[@RockytheDoggy1996]

These are beautiful

[@polardog2396]

ill be waiting for the kobe 10 protro

[@joshuaguo1974]

great video! appreciate the hard work

[@vgvamediaOFFICIAL]

totally agree to bring back more team colorways for the sig models especially the initial launching colorways. top Kobe 5 colorways (OG) for me personally 1. Aston Martin 2. big stages (both) 4. bruce lees 5. dark knights 6. these if overall the preludes will insert at 2 and dark chaos at 4th

[@channingbanks5786]

Kobe 11 Em’s are sooooo underrated💯

[@franalations]

Fire! Had to cop first thing this morning! Great vid as always

[@indianathainon]

I can’t wait till the colors drop!!!

[@michaelganter8952]

Probably my top 2 Kobe’s!

[@jonbrodes1290]

always loved the kobe v..cant wait for ASG cw

[@dreadlock17]

Damn. I'm hyped. Hooped in these back then. Gonna cop another pair

[@danielhuerta1506]

Until these the only other Kobe 5 I own is the USA colorway...really got into the Nike Kobe line towards the tail end of the Kobe 5 releases. Love all the subsequent models in the line. Great review and content.

[@joeycastaneros445]

Thankful got to cop this bad boy..hard to cop here in Philippine s

[@jflight4]

Fantastic shoe, absolutely loved playing in them back in the day, I had the Bruce Lee colourway, though I really wanted the Lower Merion Aces Home colourway but that was a PE that was impossible to get in England. Really looking forward to hear how this slight update performs...

[@rickygeorge1017]

I wish they wud drop a bred colorway of the 34s

[@Rama1996ss4]

Man I had these in the USA Olympic colorway and used it until the sole tore off

[@traydizzle7721]

I got lucky on that 2k20 snkrs drop last week.

[@bjmethyusjohnson9043]

My all time favorite Kobe shoe. I believe the lightest Kobe shoe I believe. I think they weigh less than 10 ounces...I had about 5 colorways

[@haozhang6746]

First basketball shoes in my life, and this shoes will always be my first choice!
