Wish they would put a better midsole. Zoom X, react with zoom pods, zoom strobal with react. So many options that they don’t give us. It’s really just a retro
My favorite color from the team bank 8s! I don't hate the drop-in set up (first time trying any Kobe 8 with these) but I do agree that adding Zoom would make these even better. I know you talked about the fit in previous videos but how do these compare to the 808 4 Ultra? I went tts with the Kobe 8 and it was fine after break in, for me.
@@damir-r7d I’m using the strength midsole that’s well broken in. Heel stack is slightly lower if not the same. The big difference is the forefoot, SPO is lower with a nicer offset…making running and pushing off more fluid. also being thinner make the shoes less snug, which is personal preference there. I also have lunerlon midsoles from OG 9s that work for these as well. React midsole is garbage….I stuck them in the 9s that I wear around the house to see if they’ll get softer once broken in….really broken in.
In all honesty there’s no reason to get 8s. The 9s weigh the same with better traction. And there are other shoes that weigh the same as the OLD 8s if you know what to look for
Your shot might go in but you got a crazy offhand thumb flick. If you haven't noticed all due respect I'm not trying to come at you or nothing like that. Just giving you heads up. I promise I am

@@TheWacoKidd44 yep
its not even a retro its not even as good as the originals
Super Clean, love this colorway! Sad they didn't release in Montreal! I gave up and getting Kobe's! Almost 400$ shipped from fake-x, no thank you!
They’re restocking the team bank colors on October 1st on NIKE.

I thought the Venice beaches fit and felt better. Maybe it’s the different tongue
I'll customize my own midsole 😅 add a zoom turbo from my old Kyrie infinity
I still have 3 pairs of the originals that fit so much better….i was able to actually get this same colorway and I can’t believe how tight they are
So half size up on the protros? Cause I used to have a pair of Kobe 8s back then and they were sooo comfortable
@@GHOSTGRIM8the protros definitely fit tighter than the originals….maybe the react midsole is thicker…they are definitely heavier 🤷🏼♂️
What drop in midsole do you recommend for this shoe serious player only or is there another company you recommend?
I have a narrow foot went true to size and fits perfect
How about some 6s and 5s
Have you tried putting in the zion 3s drop in ?
Can you put the drop in midsole from serious player one here?
Yes….I immediately swapped the super stiff react for the SPO midsole
@@long8888 how was it? Do they still fit well?

Kobe 8 protro colorways have been so boring. I dont know why they dont just bring back some of the OG colorways. They were so creative and fun
They are providing a lot of new color ways like the what the
These are not worth the price nor the protro name
Are they true to size?
Swap with the spo midsoles 😉
@@BC21beats they don’t quite work, too thick, fills out the shoe too much…
joey?

What other basketball shoes are light like Kobe 8s? cause I used to have a pair back then, need a new pair of lightweight ball sneakers
