Kobe 9s - They’ve gone and done it again - Protro Success!

Grip on insole is genius. Combined with heel cup the foot stays locked in and locked down. Cuts and jab steps are lightning fast and done with conviction. Breathabiltiy of upper is a big improvement. Like the two pair of laces to customize a little further. Does fit a little tight, so size up half size seems appropriate. More colourways please.
