Nike Kobe 4 Protro Philly

[@davidv.2991]

Chris knows his kicks well. I always tune in to see how the shoe sizing are on certain shoes. It helps when I know what size to buy.

[@ernestotorres1211]

Thank you for keeping the real honest reviews since 2009! I’ve been a subscriber/fan since 2013 and I love every single video!

[@theletterkei]

I sprained my ankle about 4 weeks ago and been off the court since but I religiously watch your videos to still feel something LMAO love how hard you guys been grinding and I really appreciate y'all

[@DinoStackszSpartankicksz]

You literally hit the mark every time I watch your reviews, bro I had to personally tell you that the reason I pick up a lot of kicks and will be going to pick my eyes up tomorrow finally Kobe’s in the collection! 💯🖤🦖⛹🏾‍♂️🐍🥵

[@LordBass10]

I told myself going into 2024 i was not going to buy anymore shoes till i started selling some of the ones i dont wear. Yeah that idea went out the window. Mainly bc the sneaker market is slow and people are not buying as much anymore. I have sold a few pairs but not nearly as many as ive bought XD

[@Yooooo91]

Same brotha, it’s getting a little crazy and it’s not even close to the end of the year

[@michelangelooliver2590]

Same!!!!!

[@mTchongo]

Same. 😅 4 pairs and counting

[@edsonrodriguez4475]

I can relate 😂

[@jessyjaedesignz]

I’m a 9.5 or 10… what you got? 😊

[@BobbyObado]

These look amazing. The added vibrancy in the colour is welcome.

[@rccharger21]

I wish they'd release the black del sol colorway of these! I had them in high school and someone stole them from my gym locker... They're pretty much a perfect shoe.

[@hitokiri7868]

the reps of those are decent, but even the best 1s don’t compare to retail

[@rojinsamurai1]

Love this content 🔥 Your reviews just give the real deal (and some education) much appreciated!

[@DanielMartinez-fu3pb]

Every few years I sell a number of shoes to pay for a trip with the family. As a lot of people have mentioned, shoes are selling as much now, so no trip!! Keep grindin'!!

[@DrkRydrProductions]

Not suckung up or trying to get cool points. But you two are really putting in work, Thank you. Really enjoy just hanging with the channel. Such cool vibes, and to top it off, you actually provide fire content. Eat that algae rhythm

[@WearTesters]

Much appreciated!

[@smashleybreaks]

Can't tell you guys enought but I really enjoy watching the reviews on this channel. The reviews are straight forward and no gimmick without a bunch of clapping or other distractions.

[@WearTesters]

Thank you 😊

[@johnrivera1036]

Your review of the kobe 4 was the first vid of yours i watched now years later im still watching ❤

[@172L-Boogie]

I need a pair!! Kobe 4 is my favorite

[@joshhutton9534]

$190 for heel zoom all the while people were up in arms about the Book 1s setup. People forget that the two shoes he played in most were the 4 and AD both of which only have heel zoom. All that to say i love the 4s 😂 I try to keep it at a "reasonable" sneaker guy number and then once it gets to be too much, they go up on eBay or donated depending on the shoe. And yes, a reasonable number is still far more sneakers than anyone actually needs.

[@davidgurganus3466]

The fact that Nike hasn’t hired You and the Mrs’s is a major fumble on their part. Every video is educational and a straight up honest review from Legit sneakerheads, I hate that term btw 😂 keep up the good work 🍻

[@GreekSneakCollector]

Out of these 3 Kobes, these are the best looking. Fingers crossed to cop a pair!

[@ericvaldehueza6651]

You always have really good reviews. Thank you. Very Helpful.

[@officer9757]

Man keep it up guys! Been here for years and its always my best choice ‼️luv from Germany 🇩🇪

[@rodneyfeldman9545]

Those reflective details are dope. 👍🏽👍🏽

[@rolandorobles6375]

My favorite sneaker channel ❤

[@Drew.Whitcomb]

This colorway is 🔥. Love that 3M.

[@kulachartkongkeattikul9631]

The question at the end of the video was one of the best so far.

[@eustarez5]

I love the stars on the shoe!

[@Jerz2MIA]

My fav out of all the drops tomorrow. LET’S GOOOOO!

[@bigc2626]

So I don’t really buy sneakers at release day, but I really liked these. I joined the draw at 11am, waited the 10 minutes for the draw to close, then they tell me “sorry you didn’t get them.” Now I know why I don’t buy the damn things on release day. I shouldn’t have to beg a shoe company to take $190 from me for a pair of shoes. It shouldn’t be harder to buy a pair of sneakers than it is to win the goddam lottery

[@uRadarr]

Welcome to the real world, limited supply and high demand means you don't always get what you want. Toughen up buttercup, enter the next RAFFLE and see what happens.

[@bigc2626]

@@uRadarr why do I have to be tough when it comes to buying a pair of shoes?

[@cesarolivares6177]

Can’t wait to cop these!

[@thomaswhite834]

Love all your reviews!

[@styezg2316]

So enjoying reviews from this channel 🥰🥰

[@WearTesters]

Glad you like them!

[@JeremyGiese]

Fighting the Aggie Rhythm! Appreciate the hard work and reviews. Also great being apart of the discord channel!

[@WearTesters]

Much appreciated!

[@-g-9459]

I have two rules, 1) if I don't wear them in a year, they get sold. 2) I made a maximum of 5 pairs. If I want something new, and I already have 5 pairs, I got to sell 1.

[@Nsane1]

Thanks again for another dope review.

[@WearTesters]

Thanks for watching!

[@Musicman-ct3bl]

Paid resale for these. Had too they’re too nice

[@JayDeposits]

Don’t blame you, I’m thinking about doing the same. Shoe is awesome

[@by_run]

Awesome review as always. 🔥 Hope I can get a pair of these.

[@spencerkogut107]

These are so nice! Also hyped for the Girl Dad

[@stephenyervasi6246]

Although your awesome content and great personalities lead the way, I truly appreciate that your channel is self-funded. You’re not beholden to anyone or any corporation. You guys are real, simply put. Question: do you get FOMO on any of the newer releases, or do you just roll with it if you don’t get a new release?

[@MM-x6c]

QOTD: Thanks for the answer, Chris. It's good to know you're willing to be transparent about how this channel works. You are definitely my first resource for figuring out the quality of each release--like I've said before, that makes the difference for me between a buy and a pass. I'm happy to support you with my likes and my comments and my middle fingers to that ma hunchy algorithm. If I could guarantee myself one draw win this weekend, I think this would be the pair.

[@beejuggs8254]

This is the best colorway

[@uspatriotstigmacher134]

These are the ones I would get if I was going to get a pair. I'm a wearer though and can't justify the cost. There's a price point where it only makes sense to purchase if you're only going to hold them and resell them later... these will be there. Great to hear you're independent. Big+ for independent reviews... and you've always come across that way. Thank you.

[@clinthonvasquez5427]

Appreciate your reviews been watching your channel for some time now so insightful every time, great job, also where did you get the Cyclops shirt from?

[@briandobson8608]

I won one of the holidays pairs. Weartesters always gives back.

[@enriqbarra2768]

always go half size up unless u want a snug fit

[@jaydeeventura3131]

These are growing on me

[@rauldingle]

aLLLgorithm! When I amass too many I take mine to Sole Supremacy... and basically start all over again! The only things that really stay with me are performance models and Curry's.

[@WearTesters]

😂

[@rellswrld]

I've sold about 30 pairs over the last 6 weeks on ebay just to get rid of the clutter. I love kicks but the older i get the more i dont need 20 pairs a year just to hoop in anymore...I'm 43

[@lxele]

Great review and still torn on if I want to go after the 4s or 6s on SNKRS. 🤷🏻‍♂️ But I am a little disappointed that the number on the back is 24. The original pair it was “23”.

[@TheSnkrPimp]

The 3M is cool! Had no idea either! 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@frogtofall]

I’m a little mixed myself. Some I keep some I donate some. I sell when I’m bored of them. In total I have about 40 to 50 pairs of shoes. Some are for display/collecting the others I wear.

[@AlexanderKunDesu]

Glad to see a fully funded channel like Weartesters out here. You’ve been honest with us since you started doing this instead of selling out like some other channels. My collection has fluctuated over the years. There was a time when I used to buy 2-3 pair of some of my grails when given the opportunity. When times got financially tough, I was able to sell some of my collection, but I would try my best to keep my grails. Fast forward a few years later, I liquidated most of my collection, and kept about 20 pairs that I know I couldn’t live without just to get a decent down payment for my house. At the end of the day, sneakers come and go, and brands like Nike/Jordan Brand will eventually retro/re-release things we bought and sold. I’ll just sit back and wait until I can see some of the things I’ve let go come back for me to possibly purchase in the future.

[@1of1podcast21]

Make more Kobe’s John Donahoe!!!! Not just more colorways but make them in large numbers period! Tired of not being able to get any of his shoes! Been a fan of his since I was a kid man and all these pairs now we are adults we can’t get man it’s sad!!!

[@watchthesix]

i peaked at 63 pairs in 2017, now down to 7 pairs as of today. for the question of the day: what is a shoe model (colorway optional) that best matches your personality?

[@No_Hype85]

Dope question bro

[@leaderchang84]

True to size for wide feet as well?

[@AddOnKicks]

I usually keep shoes for a period of time. If I like to wear them casually, I keep them longer. Now that I'm playing again, if I get a pair and just find that I'm not playing in them much or don't like playing in them, I'll sell them and put that toward something new I want to try.

[@adriangreer4116]

Great video. But question: Can you hook us up with some weartesters merch. I like the other merchandise you have. But I want something with that red "W" logo and the circle. Just simple, clean on a nice white t and not too big but not too small of a logo.

[@zacharypaddock2954]

Great review!

[@mitchbeee]

What a shame that they don't release a Protro of this with full-length Zoom. That would be as good as it gets. What's your favorite Kobe Protro? I remember that you really liked the 1; I can't remember how you felt about the 5.

[@dietherjohnperalta5900]

I wish nike can also protro kobe's budget line, or the Huarache 2K4 since it's been 20 years since its first release.

[@IAmInfinitus208]

Yeah, when is Nike going to retro the 2K4s again?

[@noxtanagnes]

Same snug with GoM kobe 4??? Im playing size 9 with gtcuts lebrons and kds... should i go to TTS??? Please response

[@magmatizer]

For the algorithm! This is probably the most wearable of the upcoming Kobe pack for me.

[@theplague86]

These are so nice, I really hope I can get them 🤞

[@coakersme]

Great video, thanks @WearTesters. My question to Nike though: how exactly are these a PROTRO, when Nike basically dowgraded just about every tech spec in the shoe that actually matters? The midsole is a darn downgrade of the original (not even a React pad in the forefoot, really?), that’s for sure, and no upgrade in the materials department either. Remember Nokia? I bet that’s how we’re going to remember Nike sometime in a not-so-distant-future, with how they are acting lately…

[@reallygemenii]

Hit on snkrs first Kobe 4 🙌🏼

[@trunkz55]

Funny how the phillys and camo's sat back in the day. You could get them under retail now they are selling out.

[@NortromElf]

Some of the big brands should really invest in Chris and let him cook a shoe or two with full creative control. Would love to see that one before I kick the bucket

[@alonzoeras2020]

For all the Sneaker Heads who are 30 years old or older and who are Kobe fans, the shoes that matter to us are the ones that Adidas is going to release, I'll explain why... at the end of the 90s it was normal for you to ask your mother the Last Kobes or the last Vince Carter. At the beginning of the 00s, wearing skateboarding shoes began to become popular, so kids asked their parents for Osiris, DVS, DC, etc. No one asked for basketball shoes anymore, so the Adidas Kobe Bryant collection was the last great sneaker from the time when we all wore basketball shoes for our best outfit. Kobe's line with Nike is very relevant for those who love basketball and know about the sport, but for popular culture they are just another basketball shoe, totally contrary to what Adidas achieved by making Sneakers for Pop Cilture.

[@No_Hype85]

I agree! I was this kid.. and literally wore all the shoes you named in 98-2000 lol awesome comment my guy!!

[@pepito_5815]

I got em !! I got em !!!

[@mwairaphael7317]

I hate red, white and blue shoes, but these are beautiful

[@Ace-3.]

God bless and much love to all ❤🙏

[@angel-hernandez25]

Anyone else hit on the military blue 4s ? I can’t wait for the review!

[@vrijpatel6561]

Let’s see a full shoe closet review!

[@pleasethankyou3869]

I have just over 30 pair of kicks and I rotate. If funds permitted, I'd buy more cos love me some SBs and AJ signature line with a smattering of one or two other pairs but it is what it is so am grateful for what I have 👍

[@rayrawket]

Love it and hope I cop something Saturday Dope shoe. I usually just sell off what I’m not really tripping on keeping esp if it’s close to another colorway I rock often.

[@khoibui4300]

still kinna sad that they dont have full length zoom

[@greendro6410]

These are 🔥🔥🔥

[@Standdividedfalltogether]

I love the protro 4. So light and fits is perfectly snug with just enough ankle support. They are def top 3 for me

[@mattlang8946]

I usually take shoes that haven't been in my rotation for about a year and sell them... so I can buy new ones. The circle of life.

[@ericodeocampo]

The original Kobe 4 Philly has the number 23 on the back. ❤

[@masterjohn5]

thank you!

[@Vinoisthename]

I need the protro of this pair. This is my first ever nike kobes. Still got the OG pair

[@dukestarfighter]

I think it’s great we’re getting 3 offerings all on the same day. But man, if you were trying to get all 3, good luck! I have what I feel like is a lot of shoes. Like more than I should and I’m not a huge content creator lol

[@Scott.A.Hettenbach]

Currently at about 250 pairs organized and a whole bunch that are not yet organized. Luckily I have lots of friends with a similar sized foot so they always get first dibs if I'm "downsizing"

[@lillee7236]

Are these tts?
