They look like the Kobe’s, still hot though
kicks look official but they need to put a different color scheme on it
Very civic minded.

I think it’s important to send a message to poor folks in the inner cities that you aren’t cool unless you can find $100+ for a pair of sneakers.

Sorry, it’s just one of my pet peeves. It’s a good deal for this guy or the other celebs who knock out the over-priced shoes, but not so great for the kids who are having gun fights in the streets to get their hands on them.
Agree
Nike is so damn corrupt, I swear. Growing up in Chicago and watching two of my friends have their Air Jordan’s stolen right off their feet should tell the whole story.
The shoes are over-priced and underproduced to create a fever of demand. That’s some BS.
Everyone but a Filipino is going to rock those kicks, not that Nike cares, they just want them all sold out at over $100 a pop.
lets go to the Philippines, they go for like 30 dollars over there
