That's so true about the Kobe line. Nobody wanted them until he passed. I remember seeing pretty much the entire line on sale at Academy and thinking "no thanks"

[@Dipset415]

Which numbers though😭1-3 where def at outlets and where on sale

[@judebarrera576]

@Dipset415 I honestly don't recall but it was around 2008 and a few years after.

[@DrakeBruh-p9s]

nahh Kobe 6-9were always out of stock then the 11 after that yeah they mostly sits in the store unlike today where people go crazy for every kobe releases

[@jakobdee3274]

@user-ym3kw5qh4c facts for sure. I remember kids in my school, and just even some of tue vacations I went on wit my fam, seein MAD kobes 6-9. Amd even the 5s tbh

[@Drew.Whitcomb]

SPO's trajectory is really looking good. Exciting to have them in the basketball space.

[@dmarr4941]

I’m glad to see a brand giving the players options. Thanks for introducing this shoe to those of us who wouldn’t have seen it otherwise.

[@FreeTJ]

They added a lil og hyperdunk seasoning to the aesthetics 🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@iShiftIn2Turbo]

I miss the Hyperdunk 😂

[@FreeTJ]

@@iShiftIn2Turbo thee pivotal shoe in the lineage 😭

[@iShiftIn2Turbo]

@@FreeTJ I played in that shoe every year I was glad that they made them when I was still hooping competitively. They knew what they were doing when they stopped making em 😅 they can't waste money paying all these players or making the more "premium" models.

[@FreeTJ]

@@iShiftIn2Turbo man I’m younger so I caught it late with the 2012 hyperdunk and had who knows how many colorways I had of them. It sucks that the business politics got in the way of good product. Just praying atleast one of the og models get a protro 🤞🏾🤞🏾

[@TIGERFPM]

The 2010 Hyperdunk is what put me onto shoes. The design is so good

[@rodneyjackson1598]

Reminds me of the 08 hyperdunk low with the Kobe 7 cushion two of my favorites. Definitely appreciate the lacing system

[@reyorbci3398]

That solid pink-ish colourway looks amazing! The concept of these and player 1 are super intriguing. Totally agree with you on the kobe take, as others already commented. Def interested in the Game1's. Great content as always - thanks

[@shayp3kicks]

1st minute 44 and I'm sold!!! Lol Nightwing responsible for so much of my Sneaker-debt 😂😂😂😂

[@Amkodo]

I personally own both the Plus model and the Game 1 model. Both shoes are amazing but yet different in some aspects, the lightweight feel and perfect balance of court feel with cushion in the Plus has made me fall in love with them. Then the Game 1 has been my go to as of late, the traction is as good as the Plus model and just to be able to feel the support and lockdown it has is truly amazing. Love this brand, just wish they would release more colorways for all their shoes.

[@seriousplayeronly]

Glad to see that both models are resonating with you in different ways! More colorways are dropping out soon!

[@smchurry9251]

How's the outsole for rubber durability, is it really stiff enough / like XDR & thick/deep enough to play in outdoors?

[@jordanmaliksi1021]

How’s the sizing? Pretty much what Chris said in your opinion?

[@RohanDeal]

I wish they would bring high tops.

[@NathanBrantley]

hey Amkodo, or @seriousplayeronly, I'm not a bball player (anymore) actually thinking of getting these for outdoor pickleball, there's no jumping in pickleball, lots of lateral lunges, curious which shoe model would be more accomodating to that.

[@shanghaisole2305]

been with these guys since day 1, great journey

[@tonyguilliams5849]

Those are dope! They remind me of a mix of the Air Jordan XI ie and the Kobe. Two of my favorite models ever! IMO the Jordan XI ie is kinda slept on and underrated. Keep on creating great content! Love your channel!

[@Bojeezy]

It be cool if they came out with a Nightwing color way.

[@JoyDas-fc8sm]

Wow!This Kobe 7cushion is amazing.That's so true about the kobe line was grateful.

[@willigeek2013]

I bought the purple one ... getting them tomorrow. I can't wait to try them on. Great review

[@christiansaldana7457]

Great content. And i'll be Waiting for the low tops. 😊❤

[@YOURAURAISYOURAURA]

i bought the lavender colorway. had to adjust the show lacing and definitely break them in, but after that shoe performs very nice. only thing is i like my shoes to have that court squeak but that's just personal preference.

[@kuyacruzraps]

exactly my experience too!

[@gurwinderkhandal8880]

How long did it take you to break in? Also, before fully breaking in, did playing in them make the bottom of your feet sore? I bought them and have worn them like twice and couldn’t stand how sore they made my feet. Hoping it’s just them needing some breaking in

[@gerardrobert758]

Wasn't gonna waste my time looking thinking they wouldn't have my size like most overseas brands, but to my surprise they do now! #bigfootgang

[@seriousplayeronly]

Great to hear, we extended our size run based on many of your feedback!

[@ThommyOcho]

I am glad there are “new” brands that are actually interested and investing in bringing good basketball shoes to the market/consumer/fan.

[@mrallende007]

I agree with you about the Kobe shoe dilemma.

[@tambokingkong]

Where can i get these in australia? Their website doesn't ship them here 😢

[@edmalone7374]

I’m a wide footer and tend to go up half a size on hooping shoes. Curious to try them out.

I'm a 2E wide and I went up half a size, fits great!

[@RampagingChipmunk]

The pink pair looks fantastic.

[@JoshHOPS]

I have he Hornets...my one complaint is that the collar really irritates my ankle...everything else seems solid...still love the player one plus the most

[@WLVFX]

Where are Serious Player One based and where do they shipping from? Because I'm in Europe and I'm wonder if I can get these?

[@kuyacruzraps]

US and China, but I know they have distribution in the Philippines (they actually get all the product a month before US). I'm not sure if they have a Europe vendor.

[@jermboomin]

Definitely Kobe 7 inspired !! Especially with the double insole option

Dame 2 on steroids

[@thelatehooper]

I’ll never trust that company again. I received the player 1 plus with the quick midsole missing. They would not refund me full If I return the item. And yet they would not send me the missing quick midsole. So I was forced to accept their $10 refund for the missing midsole. They sent me a document that showed the midsole was just worth $10. And the shoes cost $180 😅

[@seriousplayeronly]

Sorry to hear that. We are investing a lot on improving customer experience all the time. We'll escalate your issue and look at where the miscommunication went wrong. Thanks a lot for raising the issue to us.

[@thelatehooper]

@@seriousplayeronly seriously? It was a long email thread beginning 9/19/2023. I just gave up and accepted your $10 offer. I would have returned it unused but you have one of the worst return policy. It was your mistake and yet I would shoulder the return and the original shipment cost.

How does it compare to the 808s?

[@riskydawn2864]

Does its mid sole fit the kobe ad mids?

[@flat-out]

I actually shoot and move better wearing my well worn running shoes the Asics GT-2000 9 when playing a little bball in the gym after work hahaha...I tried putting on my Dame 5, Harden 4, Jordan CP3 VI to shoot hoops in doesn't feel as good as my Asics running shoes funny. My Kobe Zoom Venomenon 4 is the only shoes that feels as good playing with.

[@Modality]

I remember buying Kobe 11 Achilles heel at work when I worked at Nike. Got them for $60 😂 best hoops shoes I’ve ever worn. Unwearable now and the prices for pairs now even used are ridiculous. I shied away from Nike for basketball shoes and been hooping in new balance. I wanna give these serious player shoes a shot since everyone says they feel similar to kobes

[@snkrtechtalk6005]

Let’s go!!!!! Love it

[@naionesix]

Was looking at these for my next pickleball play. I play all outdoors in SoCal. Would u feel confident these can last close to 12mo of weekly play of 4-5hrs?

[@Isof99]

I like all the tech i just hate the way they look 😅

[@goand37]

I brought the Game 1’s for volleyball after watching this video and I would say they are a bit overrated based on this video. They have awesome colour ways and the quality of the shoes are pretty good but I have been wearing them for a month now and I still feel I have no broken them in. My feet and my ankles especially are always sore and ache. I considered getting their other insoles but that would just add to the cost.

[@francistrey]

[@Rei-0403]

Player 1 Plus feels more lightweight compare to these, Game 1 is an all-rounder shoe, better for bigger players

[@veryproudfatherTN]

Dope looking shoe… unfortunately, I don’t like any of those color ways.

[@tyleretiz9951]

These or Way of Wades!? I feel like the all cities are the best shoes I’ve come across in a longggg time to hoop in

[@israelnascimentodeoliveira3482]

Hello guys. I'm looking for a shoe to hoop I'm a guard, I have a good explosion and jump too much. And, my knees aren't so great anymore, so I want to keep them protected I have one zoom freak 4, and when I play hard, I feel pain in my knees, just like today. I saw some of your videos, and from other channels, but some of them are a bit old, and I can't find some of the shoes you recommend anymore here in Brazil. I was thinking about the harden vol. 7 or maybe the Wade AC 11. But I'm a bit afraid of them don't give me enough impact protection and comfort. Other options would be the Dame 8 extply, maybe. Have you any other good option? Those two cushions setups are enough for hard impacts (both forefoot and heel strikes?) I don't care too much about court feel. I just want absolute comfort and impact protection and G. T jumps and LeBron (are in general) are too expensive here (can't afford them)

[@btnichols77]

The Dame 8 extp I’ve used for two weeks now and the cushion still seems hard. My comparison is to the Dame 3’s though which is supposedly the same cushion but, the 3’s feel so much better. The Wade’s use the Li Ning BOOM cushion which I have there Power shoes from a couple years ago and that cushion feels amazing. I can’t speak on the other shoes for you.

This may sound bit harsh but rest his soul, I feel resellers are jacking up Kobe shoes just because he has passed away. And yes back then you can get Kobes on outlets, clearance. Heck even around 2018-2019ish there are some protros protros sitting in outlets. I feel like if Kob was still alive, none of this crap would happen. Maybe protros would be more attainable, or maybe the "Kobe" brand would go on since there were news back then that Kobe was bout to start his own brand and leave Nike something like that.
