Kobe IX Elite 低筒 EM Protro

Seriously when it comes right down to it, Nike is my life. Everything I wear from top to bottom is all Nike. I’m very very lucky that I have a family member that allows me a special gift each year and that’s to come to the Nike outlet store in Oregon and be so privileged to come on campus and take a look at every special thing that the Nike family is doing. It honestly makes me feel like if there was something that I could do within the company I would quit my business that I’ve established for over 15 years and I’ve become with a Nike family employee. Nike is absolutely the best and as you can see through all my spending, I spend literally over five to $10,000 a year, enclosed shoes and gear. This will never stop and I will always be proud to be apart of Nike.

I recently got these for competitive dodgeball and had one of my best seasons. Lightweight for easy jumping and an excellent grip. Thankfully have a pair that's half a size up than I usually get. Slightly hard to put on with the grip and my big feet but worth it.

I wanted to love these, but the durability is awful. After roughly 10-15 light uses, the outsole tore open and split in a way I’ve never seen before. These shoes were hardly worn. They still looked almost new. For a company known for performance gear, this is a huge letdown. I really hope Nike stands behind their product, because this should never happen.
