    Bro, going up half a size in every single basketball shoe, means that's your actual size lol

      ​@yonjuunininjin he says it with most shoes regardless of brand. And only stays true to size when other reviewers have said you can go down 1/2 a size e.g. adidas

    190 bucks for retail is normal for the Kobe line. His shoes would retail for like 200 bucks when he was still playing. I remember getting the Kobe 9’s for 220 from footlocker when they first dropped in 2014

    bro i love these shoes ive had them for 6 months now but the material on the shoe rips easily and the insole makes your feet burn. it literally felt my feet were on fire. also if you have sensitive feet/feet problems, id be careful with this shoe. everything is perfect except the comfort and durability when playing.

  • @amosvane
    @amosvane 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    the added weight probably comes from the new padded tongue and heel. maybe even the stitched swoosh and maybe the react drop in too.
    the original had no padding at all in the tongue, and minimal padding in the heel. the swoosh was printed on, and maybe lunarlon is less dense and lighter than react.
    i didnt mind the tongue on the original, even though it always slipped to the side of your foot and never stayed up, but you never noticed as you were playing so it didnt ever matter if it slipped. but i aint gonna complain about extra padding. i doubt ill even notice the difference in weight anyways. (ive yet to play in my 8 protros)

    I have both the original Kobe 8s and the protros, *unpopular opinion but I actually preferred the tongue on the og felt more breathable and less bulky on the top of ur foot with the thinner tongue and holes.

    Has anyone tried implementing the Zion 3 SE drop-in midsole or the SeriosPlayerOnly Explosive drop-in midsole to the Kobe 8 Protros? react is good but with age and my kness i would need more cushioning - wanted to see if anyone has tried any of these if it fits, before pulling the trigger to not waste money

      I tried with the regular Zion 3 midsole (size 11) putting it into the Kobe 8 protro court purple (size 10.5) they fit but it doesn’t feel as good as the react, I feel like the react might be the best option but that’s my opinion
