Very nice fit, I usually get these in a 9, but very glad I went a half size up.

Snug and stiff, get .5 higher
bluedragon05 - Aug 23, 2025
These felt stiff and narrow when I went true to size. The insole feels undersized. When stepping with them it’s like the inner ankle is stepping over it if that makes sense, almost walking lopsided leaning to one side. The .5 increase made a big difference, just need to make sure shoes are tightened. I love the sticky insole for less movement while playing. The stiffness will require a week or 2 to break in. Not the best Kobe but serviceable. The outsole has great traction.
Improve the Kobe line.

All these protro rereleases have been really underwhelming. Kobe’s vision was about improving, yet after his death his shoe did the opposite. Zoom units were taken out in some models, This very model that I bought pretty much made a lateral movement from a cushlon drop in midsole to a react drop in. For the price point can we get at least one zoom units in the drop in midsole?
