I might be in the minority but I prefer the Adidas Kobe line over the Nike Kobe line. I’m not saying that the Nike Kobe line doesn’t have great shoes but I just like that Adidas brought more creativity aesthetics wise.

Nike kobes (except the x elites) are very boring aesthetically, people don't wanna admit it cuz of the name. You take the name off and they're Walmart vibes. Tooling is the opposite story

Yes as a 90s kid - Adidas kobes look way better with an off court fit. Nike kobes are for on court style only.

Kobe in the Feet you Wear launch, they had a cross trainer for Keyshawn Johnson, a runner called the Equipment Salvation and the best shoe in the line actually a boot was the EQT. Katmai was a beast of a boot….. I had a pair of each from adidas for the launch, and I liked the Salvation and Katmai never tried the Keyshawn’s and sadly the Kobe (top Ten 2000) blistered me up bad, so I went to the EQT Instinct low and surprisingly they were pretty nice shoes that got no respect…..but being a fab 5 fan when the air max CW (sensation for the younger crowd) was released I quickly went to that shoe, loved the design, aesthetics and feel…….this could go on forever, I was constantly getting new shoes and my Brother-in-law who wears the same size as me was loving it lol……I love reliving the shoe journey I lived, your videos always take me back…….thanks.

4:18 nah, those aren't fans. Those are just bandwagons/hypebeasts. Same like those people who wear football (or soccer) jerseys but they both own/wear jerseys of rival teams (ex: wearing a Barca shirt today, and tomorrow they'll be wearing Real Madrid's). They're only doing it because it's a trend but they don't know the history of the club and the shirt that they're wearing.

I love those! Have the retro that you reviewed a while ago and is a decent shoe for outdoors, but they lack many of the details and tech that these have back, like the silver lines on the tongue or the purple patch in the logo. Still haven't released in Mexico but I hope they will soon and in the white colorway because I always wanted those back in 98-99. Shoutout to you guys!

Holy shit I just got the last pair of 10's! These were one of the first pair of name brand kicks I got as a kid. Still remember going into Lincoln square mall footlock with my mom and seeing them on sale for around 50 to 60 back in 97 98 and being blown away that we could actually afford them. I was so happy I think I shed a tear. These are definitely the grail of all grails for me!!

I bought these on release day in tts and .5 up, and I had to return them both. The fit in the toebox was way too narrow and wedged my toes together from the sides and the top. My feet aren’t wide but I do prefer wiggle room. The fit was generous everywhere else but that toe box was a very disappointing dealbreaker for me!

I absolutely loved the adidas "feet you wear" I'm not sure what I originally had ( I swear they were red and black) but absolutely had this sole, they were brutal on your feet at first with the raised ball/edge , but then we're awesome. I also had the hiking low shoes and wore them till the sole was absolutely flat.

I bought the OGs in '99 in purple for $40 off the Marshall's clerance rack when I was 14 yrs old. They were a size US 10.5 and way too big but I had to have them. Eventually, I did play in them and at that time I thought it was a decent shoe despite not being a big adidas fan to begin with. But I totally agree with the sentiment that a true fan doesnt care if Nike or not. These adidas are part of Kobe's legacy. The very beginning of it...

I had a pair of these when they released. They were pretty comfy but i remember the side window turning yellow very quickly, and that wire-ish mesh around the shoe started fraying on the inside on the right shoe. Honestly, i kinda liked the version released 5-6 years ago with the BYW X outsole-midsole. I appreciated the less "Shar Pei" look haha

I just wanted to add that I really miss that Adidas does not put polyurethane insoles like they used to... The first retros of the KB 8/Crazy 8 and the Real Deal still came with PU. Insoles. I think they were thinner than what was given originally, but that made a huge difference in comfort compared to later retros.

I have them, I also had the originals from '98. Whatever corners adidas could cut with this retro, they took them. The midsole used to be a separate piece of white foam, not a solid molded piece painted white. The outsole actually had leather running along the bottom of it, now replaced with more foam. The insole is twice as thin, they couldn't even give us ventilation holes in the window. This isn't a $150+ shoe by any means.

I have the 2012 retro and the last size they had was 9.5 and I really wanted them. So I got the 9.5. I like to have a little bit of space from my toes to the shoe. They felt really snug. Did you mention the little window with that plastic piece to see inside the shoe? I had the original when I was a kid and loved them. These retros didn't grip well. It could of been the court but my other basketball shoes didn't slip and slide like the retros did.

Agreed. If you really are a fan then you shouldn’t be cherry picking. I’m not the biggest Kobe fan, but I’m glad there’s still attainable Kobes out there, but coming from Adidas. Those Crazy 98s actually look dope, might try to grab a pair. Also, I just love playing in Kobes. My Kobe 11 from 2016 are still in good condition to play in but I regret not buying more Kobes back when they weren’t selling out. So yeah, I’m still mad that Kobe prices went way up after he died, cause resellers just seem to have no soul. PS. I would also take my chances with a serial killer hunting me instead of the police hunting me for a crime I didn’t commit. Easier to get away with self defense if you manage to kill the serial killer because dude’s already got a track record, than trying to prove your innocence to a police force that’s convinced you did something you didn’t do.
