- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ส.ค. 2024
- Just when you thought my year was over - I'm back with one final video to close out 2023. Nike Basketball released a brand new take on the Kobe 4 Protro, nicknamed "Gift of Mamba". This premium rendition of the Kobe 4 opts for genuine nubuck and leather construction, in a blacked-out colourway. Check out my detailed review and on feet look to see more!

I really wanted these but SNKRS only dropped around 800 pairs in my size (14) and I took L’s on all raffles. Glad I can live vicariously through your reviews, Sean! 😂
Same smh I was hurt
I feel your pain brother. Also wear 14. The struggle is real....
Dope review! You are the first person I've seen to mention the 24 in the perforations😮 Never would have caught that! BRAVO. I STILL can't believe I hit on a size 8. Holding onto these for a while. As a fan of all black kicks, these are a perfect example of black sneakers done right, like the Black TS Low. This unique style is what the Tiff AF1 needed.
Much appreciated!
If Kobe were still alive, he’d definitely approve of this great shoe.
Mamba mentality is wearing them 24/7 - Mamba Out!!!
🐍🐍🐍
I don't think there's a cleaner aesthetic for silhouette reviews I've seen yet.
Great content bro.
FINALLY got a pair of these so I had to revisit this review. Great shoe in hand.
I have been watching your videos for quite a while now , It helps me a lot especially on understanding every part of the shoes since I am also doing some short vlogs here in the Philippines , thank you so much you are a very big help 😍🥰😘
🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝 🇨🇦 🇵🇭
The detail on this review, sheesh!
These are better than reverse grinch really wanted them.
agreed, 10x better, even wearable off the court
@@AljomarJularbal exactly!!
@@mitchellgarcia857 Thought I was the only one haha, you got the shoe right? congrats homie
Just got my pair and yes, its better than the reverse grinch for sure.
Got my size 11.5 from snkrs. I can't wait to get them in hand. These will forsure be a casual wear shoe for me. After seeing reviews i'm even more excited to get them in hand
Hows the fit bro?
Got lucky and hit on a SNKRS pass😻 great way to end the year
Dope review as usual. I was surprised that I hit on these and looking forward to getting them on feet.
These are the only shoes I wanted this year and nike got me good! Couldn't even get a t shirt.... yeah... I don't like Nike. I'll keep buying new balance.
Sean you have a toddler now, get ready to be sick off and on for the foreseeable future 🤣. Great review
Hahaha it’s true 😔
Great review as always Sean! More support to you! Happy holidays! 🎉
Happy holidays!
I was able to get a pair from a raffle. Maaaan the "black mamba" snakeskin detail on these shoes are so dope. It's also light on the feet. I know an all-black shoe doesn't pop, but rocking these outside in daylight caught some attention.
Got the W on snkrs. Can’t wait to have these in hand!
My fav sneakers TH-camr 😊
✌️✌️🫡
Would’ve been insane if they put 8 on the left shoe instead 24 on both. Nevertheless this is 🔥!
These are so beautiful!!
They are!
What a pair 🔥🔥🔥👌🏻 awesome video
I was lucky to win for retail on SNKRS. My first Kobe snkrs win ever
Very nice video, my brother those are🔥🔥🔥
Such a super simple colorway. Cool to see nice materials instead of synthetics used throughout but a heads up: the collar and toe rand portions are Fish Suede. That's why they're not at all diamond shaped/angled like snake skin is and look literally like fish scales. adidas and aSiCS have both used fish suede on some of their collabs (Pusha T Ultraboosts / BAIT GL3 2015s) and isn't embossed cow/pig suede.
good to know!
These would be my version of black Air Force Ones
Got em for retail. Sweeeeeeet!
Nike retail: $180
Nike: sold out/currently unavailable
StockX: rubs hands together like birdman
Thanks for providing sizing on the 4s,5s,6s
I felt like a kid picking my pair up 😊
How I wish I was able to cop these. Materials are nicer than the synthetics to play ball in.
Happy Holidays, great review as always 👍, unable to cop it in retail,same with the Kobe 6 reverse grinch
onto the next
Congrats on the pick-up
As a kobe fan, im glad i hit on this for retail. #thatsmamba
Great video, my friend I’ve been trying to get my daughter a pair of Kobe’s. To play basketball and she is a huge. Kobe fan. But for some reason, Nike never let me purchase them.
Wouldn’t mind if I hit the retail for this pair. I won’t pay resale price for it though.
Great review as always! Wondering how many shoeboxwalls are behind you 😂
Had to pay resell on these. Size 9.5 aftee fees $407. Where you think they will be in a couple years. Im holding for long haul
Gotem on Snkrs Pass but I’m not really into all black kicks
Sean, what pair of pants are you wearing with these?
Also I was able to pick these up via SNKRS pass yesterday and I’m ecstatic to wear these for the new year (casually for walking lol).
Amazing review as usual.
Nice pickup! They’re under armour adjustable joggers
🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’m curious if sean now decides to rock kobes casually or just for his bball. Even tho i frequently see him here in toronto, never seen him wore bball casually.
These def could be good casual shoe in my opinion.
👀👀👀👀👀
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
🔥
dope! you should definitely review the powerpuff girls nike sb dunk!
Very nice all black pair of kicks that happens to be Kobe’s. Thanks for sizing info. Sean of course it took a L..
Sheesh! What a beautiful pair. Glad to have these in the collection, Nike shipped my pair today. Should be here tomorrow or Saturday
Nike is really doing a disservice to Kobe’s line of sneakers and his legacy. The “Gift” of Kobe would’ve been that enough pairs were made so that everyone could enjoy them. Instead Nike being the “show brand” that it is decides to make every Kobe release limited to extremely rare. Nike doesn’t get rid of the bots, and knows in the end that Goat, Stadium Goods, Flight Club, and StockX are they’re best customers. Thanks Nike for all that you do to keep Kobe’s legacy alive and assure all those that really appreciated him, gets a chance to get his sneakers. 😉
yeah it’s annoying how limited they keep making them 👍✌️
Unfortunately it's a catch 22. Alot of people want those kind of shoes because they are limited. I recently got the Jordan 1 Celadon cause I don't care about hype. I just like a shoe. But all the reviews I watched said it should be bricks cause there is no hype around them. And I heard people saying they'll wait til they'll hit outlets. If Kobe was still with us. The hype for his shoes would not be what it is.
@@JvilleNC I agree! I stay East of the Mississippi, and when Kobe was playing, I was the only person in my city getting Kobe sneakers. I have like 8 pairs of the Kobe 11, with my 2 most limited pairs being the "Pale Horseman" & "Bruce Lee" colorways. Kobe sneakers didn't start to get big time traction until he retired and Nike did the "Fade to Black" colorway in the Kobe 11, which was SUPER Limited. Now that he's deceased, EVERYONE wants his sneakers now. You either have to be Jordan, a deceased athlete, or a thug to sell out sneakers with Nike, and that's unfortunate to be honest.
Most of Kyrie's sneakers were easy to get and at a great price point, but then when Nike didn't want him anymore, they dropped him for a guy that can't seem to stay out of trouble. It's unfortunate that Vanessa doesn't see the constant limitiedness of Kobe's sneakers as an issue, but many people want to support her and keep Kobe and Gigi's legacy going, but I don't blame Nike for wanting to make money, that's the goal of a business. But if you release TWO Kobe sneakers in the same month, and they are BOTH Limited... that doesn't sit well with the kids who want to get A PAIR of Kobe's, but now have to pay ridiculous prices resell!
@thescepterofjudah12 I see no lies told in what you said. But I will give Vanessa credit if she's behind what I'm seeing. It appears that Kobe sneakers are starting to drop in different colorways like Jordan's in 2024. So hopefully people that want to get a pair, can.
@@JvilleNC Hopefully, and thanks for the dialogue as well! Blessings to you in the future.
Good day.. can someone give me an advise. Please.. I wanted to cop this in our city.. i have size 9 kd16 and Vans wayvee size gus heres the thing if i will get size 9 for this kobe 4 black mamb, will it be very snug or Is it okay to go to my size. Lil bit wide footer
I hope for a very positive response
Im torn between 9 or 9.5
What did u end up doing ?
@@richorozco6855 9 but still snug lol but the length has a half inch allowance 😅😅😅 this pair is not meant for me 😅😅😅
i wonder if these have flywire on the sides of the shoe since they are usually visible on the regular Kobe 4s 🤔
Good question, i’m gonna say no lol
nice shoe ❤
Phouk Nike, Time for Reps
✌️👍
Gots me a dub on the draw.
I don't understand why they don't just make enough pirs for everyone. Limited edition is the dumbest concept. You'll make more money of you just mass produce the sneaker. Everyone wants Kobe's he's a fucking icon
yup hopefully that changes next year
Would you compare this pair with kobe 4 girl dad... especially on the court. Which are better?
Thank you Nike for giving me the L once again. Won’t pay resell for these and hope I can buy much less Nike products in 2024
Is it me or these were narrow shoe?
These o reserve grinch?
both? 😂
@@SeanGo I would like to but I can only buy one of the two. Which one would you recommend if I were forced to choose? Also in relation to maintaining economic value over time?
@@antoniobianco3722reverse
@@antoniobianco3722go with reverse grinch since I am sure they will skyrocket in the future. These are nice for casual wear but they might go under the radar compared to reverse grinch. You might be able to cop them later on for about the same price
First🥶
I'm kinda hatin lol I wanted these
These look like a custom job gone horribly wrong....
yikes
@@SeanGo haha sorry Sean! I do like most of Kobe's silhouettes, but these? These ain't it. It looks like a lump of charcoal from most angle, even on-feet.
I'm glad Nike was nice enough to hand me another L before the end of the year!
Well you can get a solid W with a Replica
Yea nobody’s can get them. Main while u get a free pair from Nike what a joke lol
Why would you think he gets seeded these? None of the shoetubers got these for free from Nike. Y’all cynical as hell.
U are clueless I feel sorry for you :(
If he didn’t get it for free how did Nike ship to him a day after the drop ? Come on
@@Toysmitewhat are you talking about? He said he copped them locally at Livestock in Toronto!! Idiot.
@@Toysmite you should feel sorry about how ignorant you are. Damn smooth brain.
Took a L so had to pay resell.
As long as I get white t I am good
Another day, and another unobtainium Kobe by Nike. Just awful.
AJs n Dunks r dead, Nike is gonna play the Kobe card next yr
There fakes😂
Nope, from Livestock
@@SeanGo do you even hoop
Thise are fugayzee fakes tho my guy 😂😂😂😂
lol guess Livestock selling fakes now 🤝😆
@@SeanGoit’s crazy that all these idiots think you either have fakes or got seeded them from the companies. SMH. These kids don’t know sh*t!
Easy cop!
