A respectable opinion, but I'll still take the foam/AF1 over the LBJ4/6 all day. It's probably brand loyalty like you said coupled with the fact that I refuse to wear brons, but I respect that opinion. But you also forgot the Kobe 4/5 being some of the coldest shoes out and the Kobe 8 was being successfully sold for 2 years.
Kobe lows and Kobe highs are what if.
you took the straps used for total lockdown off of the Jordan twenty.
then added a high top that was one of the best all time, for a hoop shoe.
while, the Kobe low's are an injury waiting to happen.
in the form of a flywire style low top base model Jordan twenty with a swoosh.
where the Velcro would be and no straps.
like I said earlier.
you, just have brand loyalty.
it makes me laugh. Cause you would have been the same person disisng the Jordan I og's.
in favor of the force's and air terminator boot.
when, the jordan I was and still is the most innovative and streamlined cut of those force model era boots.
also, if I wear some bron xi's a nikka gon ask me what they are and be on my dikk.
whereas, I can't wear no afi's without getting treated't.
if i wear a pair of bron iv's, or air jordan i's in foam,.
multiple nikkaz gon ask what those are and give mad compliments as opposed to the penny foam.
you, nikkaz have brand loyalty.
it is not about cosmetics, or styling.
which is why, i say kd should not move over from nike.
as, it will stifle his permeation and draw.
just like any other guy who moved over from nike saw after the jump.
from duncan to agassi to wade draw and permeation wise.
nike has a draw and brand loyalty like no other on the planet.
get with nike you amplify any and everything about your cause.
go, to another shoe company, no one will give a fukk if you won a ship or not.
as, people are dissing ua basketball shoes when functionality and look/styling wise.
they make better damn good basketball new Gen shoes.
for a company just starting out in the arena.
nikkaz acting like UA put out some STARBury or Stephen Jackson/harrington bobo ass shoes.
when, that is far from the truth.
you, dudes just have brand loyalty to nike.
It is not about the actual shoe, at all.
