My mom gifted me one of these I know it's a fake but Hey I still love wearing it .... I love seeing her smile everytime She sees me Wearing The grinch😊
Compare these with the 2010s and they look very similar. They’re differences because they changed up the shoe in 2020. Idc if it says 2020 on them or not. I’ll save 6-700$ and rock those
Anybody who takes time to do a video like this I appreciate it. I really do. Cause you learn things what to look for and all that. The sneaker game is WILD these days and we NEED these videos. So thank you for doing it.
It’s easy to spot fakes…butttt people trashing them but who got that kinda money for a shoe??? Collecting has become ridiculous because of reselling! As long as ur not trying to sell them….who cares🤷🏽♂️ the knowledge is great to always kno…but for the people trashing…y? As long as they aren’t trying to get over people…🤷🏽♂️
Thx for this video, thumbs up. You said Protro 5 but think you meant 6. I bought the Protro4 Wizenards when they dropped and see Amazon had fakes, but they're easy to spot as the fakes have a glossy black back, while the real ones have a matte finish. That's only one of the obvious differences.
I would have never gave these the GL tbh. But I appreciate what you do here and that it's not about just buying reps. Nike deal with Kobe is up. Everything is about to skyrocket. And maybe moreso if his family chooses not to negotiate something with the brand.
3:28 right here it’s obvious. The thing I been looking for is the “line” right above the midsole and below the swoosh. You can clearly see the difference. It’s the first thing I notice now. Besides the obvious color differences there. But if you don’t have one in hand to compare it to, just look at that line.
They tell your not to buy the fakes because they feel dumb for spending a car down payment on a Sneaker . The minuscule differences are not worth paying $800 dollars , I have the replicas and they’re absolutely fine .
I don‘t know that, you know that both shoes are the same. But the Kobes of the right box is protro (protro is Performance Upgrade for hoopers) and the shoes of the left box is the OG Kobe
They’re not the same and was aware of the boxes. If you watch carefully the put the production date of the new Kobe in the OG Kobe. The counterfeiters messed up in this one, But I made new updated videos with corrected versions.
They will come down and go up and down up, but eventually they get to a point where they may come down but just not as far as before. So I’m the longterm they will be a 3,000 dollar shoe in 4 more yrs or so.
The ones on the left are the 2010 release of the Kobe 6 grinches that’s why the box is like that and the scales are like that they are the 2010 release but they could still be fake but it’s the 2010 release my guy
Thanks for the video I took your advice and bought my pair on goat about a week after release diffantly got a light pair I asked your opinion and you said the fakes were bad and not many out there at that time glad I took your advice definitely glad to have my pair.
Bruh your information is all wrong they announced three pair of kobes since she had that meeting they still in contract I know most TH-cam people don’t read contract ever so the reverse grinches the hall of fame gold and the white black and yellow are coming smh
They sent the 2010 version with the current production label. If you watch the video in its entirety I realized and explained it. I’m not a Kobe shoe historian I’m a Jordan guy. I do have a part 2 and the with better fake versions on my channel.
I know exactly what you’re talking about but I’m not spending another dime on that mess.🙅🏾♂️🙅🏾♂️🙅🏾♂️. It has nothing to do with ego. Really? The heck ego has to do with it ? 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
There you go drawing conclusions and assuming again 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ . No one is better or smarter than the other. Get a grip Donnie its just a fake sneaker. Its all good 🤷🏾♂️.
No, hopefully the ones are real on amazon. It’s illegal to sell counterfeit goods. It could be an independent seller on that platform. I definitely wouldn’t buy.
Websites don’t make shoes. They get shoes from the factory or factories that they’re affiliated with. I take what they send me. Regardless its a fake and it’s possibly being circulated as real and thats what people need to be aware of. Thats the only purpose of the video.
@@JacobMarcellus well you're buying the lowest quality fake ever I've seen those Kobe's UA look just like your authentic pair you gotta show the identical pair and some websites UA pair are better than others NOT all of them are affiliated because they're Chinese that's just like saying I'm affiliated with you because we're both black on TH-cam 💯 I've been a sneaker head for years probably before you decided to do this you'll see 💯😎
@@JacobMarcellus not Kobe grinches, it's a Lbj witness 7 hyper royal. It does look like the one from the official Nike site with the same price but what puzzles me is that XDR tag.
dude that venomenon box is the original kobe 6 box, and you said my grinch kobe 5s and the grinches are. kobe 6 only. if it was a protro it would say protro on the box. you definitely don't know your kobe shoes!
Number 1 i got my shoe retail from nike exclusive access. Number two theres huge differences between the two especially from the materials look and performance.
I’ve been looking for Kobe steals, and I’ve seen several of fakes. I’ve seen fake Kobe 5 Bruce Lee’s, alternate Bruce Lee’s, what the Kobe 8s, some of the preludes, and some of the newer 6’s. All of these hav been faked
This dude was saying this is bad. Bad, but they look just the same... u can't see no difference in the shoe at all.....and then when u playing basketball at the Gym...u definitely not gob be able to tell.....These dudes just be hating on the REPLICA MARKET....💯💯💯💯
I've always bought Kobe Bryant shoes always and I hate that when he passed away they stopped making them They're still a lot of shoes I want to get tyat i planned on getting before he passed away. I don't get them to resell them I get them to wear them because it's the only shoe that I wear besides Lebron it has to be a laker shoe nothing else will go on my feet ever as far as the gym shoes are concerned. So with that being said I can't lie i'd buy these and I won't bother discussing the shoes on my feet cause I know in my mind and heart I'm representing Kobe and I'm not trying to help nobody capitalize off his death. They should have never stopped making the shoe because people love that man and that's all we had of him besides the TH-cam videos and all the memories That's something that should've never happened. I bet if Michael Jordan passed away they won't stop making his shoes. I'm a laker. I love Kobe, and I can't wear any other shoe if it's not a laker. So even though these may not be the real deal, close enough, so I'll do it.
Hey sir can you send me a pair as a gift, kobe 6 grinches are my dream shoes i know it seems awkward that i am a complete stranger but can you give me even the replica pairs only🥺
Before you commented you should’ve checked out my channel. I have a part 2 with the updated pair. By the way it isn’t a cheap fake it was based on the original Kobe grinch that’s all.
Let me school u sir…these days…maybe there aren’t any UA’s there r only perfects and super perfects! But in the past u could find UA’s and the only difference between a UA pair and a footlocker pair was a QC stamp! Now they’re calling perfects and super perfects “UA” 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
It’s been a whole ass couple of years dawg you had to be under a rock yk what don’t buy no damn Kobe’s especially not no fake ones id beat your ass personally
Lmao sorry for writing it like this, but by any chance do you know if the price will still go up? I got some 2020 release proto grinches and haven’t touched them flight has them listed as 700+ … will it keep going up in your opinion? I wanna rock them low key and cop another pair their one of my favorites
Idk bro I’ve got a pair of think pink reps and they’re comfier and almost as good as my retail grinches. Still better than loads of other shoes you can get for that price for sure lol
@@SHSFencingSquad oh ok ok it really just depends on the quality they decide to put in it. Because the rep factories have the tech to do it. Ive seen plenty of retro 11 reps with real, thick carbon fiber. I was thinking about getting some think pink reps myself tbh
Sorry unfortunately I don’t do individual legit checks. I only do videos for you to use as a reference. I have a part 2 and 3 with different versions on my channel. Thanks

The main differences between the Original and the Replica is the quality ,the details and the sharpness of colors .
Honestly, I don't care if they're fake or real, I just want to have those sneakers
Bro i actually think about buying the fakes one, be honest are the fakes comfy?
Think I’ll do the same
They tell your not to buy the fakes because they feel dumb for spending a car down payment on a Sneaker . The minuscule differences are not worth paying $800 dollars , I have the replicas and they’re absolutely fine .
No way I’m buying real ones for $1500
AND there’s no substitute for having them in your hand and actually feeling the difference besides what you can see.
I got fake grinches but they look exactly like the real one
bro in what web did you order the fake ones?
The snake skin scales are a dead give away
No need to look at anything else
The XDR shoes are original here in Asia they even sell it in legit malls. Haha
For people who can’t afford a thousand dollar shoes. Those shoes are worth it. even thonthey are replicas ❤️
Not these . Check out my part two video with the corrected version.
The fake ones on the thumbnail got to be the real ones.
If you say “medial side” you’re in the game heavy! 😂😂

@@JacobMarcellus link? Been searching for a min and didn't find nothing
th-cam.com/video/Es03LyiOZtk/w-d-xo.html
This one is actually giving them props by the way
Why are prices going down in Kobe’s they used to be selling 750 now 716? Any reason why they are slowly going down rather then up?
Im not sure. That’s usually what happens
They will come down and go up and down up, but eventually they get to a point where they may come down but just not as far as before. So I’m the longterm they will be a 3,000 dollar shoe in 4 more yrs or so.
Fire review . You do thr best comparisons hands down I like how you use the black light and scale !
Kobe 5 grinches 😂😂😂
😂😂 yeah I messed up . Oh well 🤷🏾♂️
The ones on the left are the 2010 release of the Kobe 6 grinches that’s why the box is like that and the scales are like that they are the 2010 release but they could still be fake but it’s the 2010 release my guy

Glad i was able to help
Is it fake that comes with the xdr tag?
So wait, I’m sorry for all the comments, but did you buy these ones under the assumption that someone was sending you an authentic pair?
No
Just got mine and my friends were all telling me they are fakes to mess with me, they are not, thanks.
Those are spiking or no?
The fakes are closer to the older pair
Yeah thats what it looks like

Ok make your own video with the correct info. Hind site is 20/20
Are you comparing the protro with the 2010 version or are you comparing the protro with a rep protro

That’s not fake.. it’s the grinch OG the one you called it fake.. the other one is the protro
Its still fake. I know that its the og but they put the 2020 production date on it. Its in the video

They’re back to $700 boss. I’m so happy I got my grinches for $350 when I struck out on SNKRS.
Nice
Why you keep saying original protro? I’m lost. Protro is the retro version. Original is original.
where do people buy these? i see some on amazon, are these the same ones?
No, hopefully the ones are real on amazon. It’s illegal to sell counterfeit goods. It could be an independent seller on that platform. I definitely wouldn’t buy.
Is that 2020 realease?

Didn’t wear them
Kobe’s on the rise. Haven’t even touched my Grinches!
Me too. I never planned on it either.
Wear them, idk but kobe probably wanted people to wear them instead of have them sit in a box

its still shoe thoo.. you can still use both
