I got the University Blues and I was confused with the tongue looking very similar to yours. I'm glad to know it's "normal"

Me watchin all ya'll nikkas getting your Hyper Royals in.
This is so accurate right now. I haven't wanted a shoe this much in years, but I ain't paying them resell prices. Hoping stories about a restock are true or I can come up at a store with a unclaimed raffle or return since my size ain't as in demand. That happened with the Concords like a week after the most recent release.

According to a source, Bryant and the estate had grown frustrated with Nike limiting the availability of Kobe product during his retirement and after his January 2020 death in a helicopter crash. There was also frustration with the lack of availability of Kobe footwear in kids sizes, according to sources.

Nike, sources said, had presented an extension offer that was not in line with expectations of an ongoing "lifetime" structure similar to the Nike Inc. contracts held by both Michael Jordan and LeBron James.

"My hope will always be to allow Kobe's fans to get and wear his products," Vanessa Bryant said. "I will continue to fight for that. Kobe's products sell out in seconds. That says everything.

"I was hoping to forge a lifelong partnership with Nike that reflects my husband's legacy. We will always do everything we can to honor Kobe and Gigi's legacies. That will never change."

It is believed that all future releases of Kobe Bryant-branded footwear and apparel manufactured by Nike will be halted. The Kobe Bryant estate could enter into negotiations with outside brands to form a new partnership.

Vanessa Bryant also confirmed to ESPN that the Kobe Bryant estate owns the rights to both the "Mamba" logo and his signature. The "Sheath" logo often featured on the tongue of Nike's Kobe sneakers is mutually owned by both sides, according to a source.
:lupe: Could this mean the Adidas Kobe line could come back...I need those

Anybody got experience with On Cloud shoes? I just copped a pair of Cloudswifts to use as slip on walking/travel kicks. If I like them I'll probably cop a pair of Cloudnovas once they drop a colorway that I like
