lol not even a full minute in, all Qias can talk about is how much it resells for 😂 this man just lives for hype

[@ªªŕđƏ]

Haters gonna hate

[@Bbknuckles]

Two types of people in this game, those who buy to wear and those who buy to sell. Personally I think it’s dumb to hold a shoe and teat them like old school baseball trading cards. Those are the people who messed up the prices for us casual wearers. I got a pair of Oregon aka apple green 5s for $275 last week and my boy said I was legitimately dumb for wearing them without a sole protector, crease guard, and some random ass all-weather spray on them. Maybe I’m missing something…

[@Coasters3356]

@@Bbknuckles the oregons are fire. Jordan 5s are underrated imo.

[@Bbknuckles]

@@Coasters3356 the 5s are my favorite shoe design ever made. I have damn near every colorway. A lot of my friends talk ishh because I don’t really wear anything else. Apparently they’re too big and clunky but man I love them.

[@Coasters3356]

@@Bbknuckles Same. I have thought about purchasing the raging bulls multiple times, and I plan on doing it later this year.

that chinese shrine is crazy! that dude really loves kobe. also you can definitely rock kobes for casual wear or even fashion. i got pairs for exclusively hooping and pairs for casual. its hard as hell ill admit to find outfits that fit, but its possible.

There’s a major difference between Qias and the other collectors for sure. You can tell where the love is.

one of the main topics of this video is the demand/resell of kobes sneakers. Thats why I bring it up. If you truly know me you know i dont buy or wear Kobes for the hype/price.

[@marcusanthonytarsitanogonz8298]

At the end of the day I have love for Qais but the contrast with humble people is not it for me. Immediately you can see the love on their faces for Kobe, they talk about their family they seem so happy but qais immediately says that he paid 1800 and then goes on to comment on how much they’re worth now. It’s kinda cringe

[@ericalaverdyan1666]

Yet he still wears them so how much can you really say about the man

[@jonathancastillo7625]

Why is the other dude keep on bringing up the price? I don’t care, I just want to see the shoes.

[@yvngg_pierre305]

9:21 i felt that statement you have no drip if you can’t wear kobe’s in a outfit, the lows are valid

If they just made the video with Xinjie, hyperdunks24, and David Kohler it would've been better, these 3 have a legit passion for Kobe sneakers, Qias is a fan but to the passion of being a Kobe head? not quite at the level of the first 3. the other 2 is a complete why are they even in the video?
