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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had to purchase this unique Kobe EM because it’s hard to get once they are sold out. These shoes fit comfortable and make you want to hoop. This color shoe reminds me of the WNBA and what this league trying to do! Great choice to buy!
