Hey Guys! Today we are diving into the Nike Kobe 6 Protro in the Mambacita Sweet 16 colorway. Let us know what you think of them down below. And have a good one!
Hey guys I would love to see you guys do some retro reviews from the Reebok Early to Mid 2000s Reebok ATR line, it gets forgotten a lot but there were a ton of Great performance shoes for Steve Francis, Jason Richardson, Baron Davis etc… I have a some deadstock models I would let you guys use for reviews too if you were interested.
I've always loved the Kobe line, and I have numerous shoes from it. I'm glad that Vanessa Bryant and Nike were able to reach a deal that benefits the family and the academy. What I don't like is the fact that there are people out there still charging ridiculous amounts of money for pairs! Hopefully, people will come to their senses. Not cool to continue to try and profit from someone's tragedy. Thanks for another entertaining video!
I got Three questions how long does it last/ how durable is it, is the traction good and lastly is the sole soft and if it is does it get stiff quickly
u absolutely right, i hate those resellers, prices up to $1000 or higher for a sneaker. They don´t buy it because of the love of the game or just for themselves to wear. Just to make money out of it. But another fact is, that Nike produces too less of em. Sold out in a few minutes. That is not correct. If there would be enough for everyone like in the 90´s. 2000´s there will be no hype on the internet. And Nike earns the money, not a damn reseller.
@@dontmesswithtexas77 first off Nike makes a torn of money already secondly your idea of resellers are wrong claiming that we only care about money is a stereotype we know more than most people about any shoe and sell them to make a living
I was disappointed that these werent mass produced or even pre-ordered (like a one per customer made to order type) especially if the first wave is going to the Mamba foundation - thought it was a huge miss by Nike.
Props to Vanessa Bryant for looking after Kobe’s Estate and advocating for more access to his line. I was hoping for Nike to have mass produced this shoe to have those proceeds donated to the Mamba & Mambacita Foundation. Great review as always!
I believe Nike did step up on the unit produces world wide (not sure about US). At least it was easier to cop than any other 6s protro before. I was able to cop mine via Nike and so as my most friend in Hong Kong.
These are definitely one of my favorite sneakers of 2022 , despite not being able to cop them. The Kobe 6 is one of my all time favorite non-Jordan sneakers and i like several colorways on that silhouette. These in particular are very clean and of course a very nice tribute to Kobe and his daughter Gigi. Great sneaker , though especially with Kobe's global icon status & legacy and Vanessa's fairly recent comments about wide availability ; these should have had much higher stock numbers to get them to as many people as possible. I hope even if somewhat unlikely that they do some online restocks and possibly a few more regional SNKRS Passes as well.
I'm a HUGE Kobe fan and I got EA for the mambacitas, they are my first Kobe in my collection and I will NEVER get rid of them. Also fun fact if you hit the back heel with a black light you can see a hidden Kobe signature
That signature isn’t a hidden detail. It’s molded into the heel counter and is featured on all Kobe 6s including the originals. Normally they color is it so you can see it. But this pair has branding on the heel so they colored the entire counter black for a cleaner look.
Great for you Chris,,, no EA over here 😏 overall how nike did the release totally sucked…. Should have been a draw release and yes now my money is going towards a reseller and only them will benefit… 😤
So happy we are getting more Kobe sneakers! I pray resellers get out of the market and real fans can actually get his shoes. I haven’t played in my protro 1s anymore just cause I don’t want to destroy them. If I do I can’t get another pair for anything less than $500
same I got some 5's and 11's on deck that I wanna wear but am not going to yet because of how expensive it would be to replace them if they were destroyed.
I’m using mine to play basketball in! That’s what those shoes were made for. I know for sure that Gigi and Kobe would want me to use them not to show off but to use them for what they were meant for! To play basketball!
Kobe and Gigi are gone forever and it really bothers me that Nike limited these shoes to this extent knowing very well what that does to sneakers, and shame on you resellers out there making money off these.
@@cillianryan1065 dude off the dead ? I doubt the profit you make off of ONE shoe if lucky will be life changing just go on indeed or LinkedIn find a job with benefits and actually live life. P&L
@@Fittednocap three things first if it’s so wrong to make money of a dead body why is there wills after people die secondly there is no right way of living as long as you feel happy about what you accomplished your doing better than most people on this planet thirdly I don’t understand what you mean by P&L
I hope these comeback again, these shouldn’t be limited so anyone who wants to have something of Kobe and Gigi they can also more support for the foundation. ☺️🙏🏼
Best basketball shoe I’ve ever played in. Bought three different times. Wore through each of them. Snake skin is the most intricate feature. Made a great point about the insoles.
They should rotate his release and make them pre-order or member access with donations calculated and released. Make it like a Kobe Nike Mystery Box that’s monthly.
I love the 6 and 4’s. These never released outside of the US, so hope they will at some point. Resell still too high to cop right now. Congrats on your pair though. You deserve them. ✌🏼
That hoodie is so 🔥 I was lucky enough to hit my size on these on sneakers app. Kobe's are my favorite shoe and I can't bring myself to wear them yet too special. Gonna need a double up for sure
I received Exclusive Access and Ive been a customer far longer than Chris (Im in my late 40s). I was in 8th grade when Chris’s fav Flight 89’s were new. But food for thought. I took a lot of L’s to get to the Mambacita. Never won any Kobe 5 protros’s, no Off whites, no cactus jacks. So Nike giving me access makes up for all the Ls I took from 2020 to this moment. BTW, SZ 10 feels like my 9.5 del sol
I got these but I am a kid who sometimes hoops... I am not too bad but I feel like I have to be one of the best to wear. I like them alot and would like to just were them but I also feel like I don't hoop enougg to wear them... What should I do??
I got early access for these and it was a disaster. Payment was greyed, and went back in and was sold out. Literally soul crushing as an actual Kobe fan lol
@@haoyu16 In this case UA or Op B or whatever really doesn’t do me justice because I actually want to support Kob and his family lol. Whatever. next release I hope
Andrew is a true gent for this. Great questions as to why Kobe did not have one and lebrun does considering Kobe's line carries 10 times more weight than Lebdren.
Your reviews are always the best. It seems that these shoes don't come out in Korea. I'm sad. As someone who likes Kobe after Jordan, it's really, really, really unfortunate.
Never owned a Kobe sneaker in my life, entered raffles and all Ls. I will be trying my best to cop the Mambacita, as proceeds are going to good causes. I agree with you about resellers you mentioned in this video, but I would encourage reselling for charity, as I do if I double up on raffles or know a sneaker is going to have an high resell, although I don't want them for my self. So whatever money is made on top of retail gets donated to charity throughout the year. 👊🏻❤💎
Your reviews are spot on. I have the ASG colorway in TTS which I use for playing ball and then went up half a size for the white Del Sols which I use casually. Keep it up guys, great vid!
glad to know the Kobe line is back, personally it would be nice if they keep releasing all the kobes. I really want to get some kobe 4,5 and 6 protros just like how you can get different kinds of jordan
Exactly what happened to me too! The stupid submit payment button wasn’t popping up to process my payment. Was so mad wanted to smash my computer at work 🤦🏻♂️
Man I got a free pair of size 11 when Amazon delivered them to me by accident in 2022. I tried to get them to my neighbor & they would never respond. Never wore them but hate I threw away the box. 🙄 They are just sitting in my closet taking up space 😂. I came here to learn more about the shoe. Great video. Hmmm...🤔
I had EA and still took the L.. but thinking about it idk how I feel about owning and wearing these, it still breaks my heart to think about what happened 😢
@weartesters Can you do a video of Greatest Kobe's to play in countdown? Would love to see your opinion on all the Kobe lines. Thanks and keep up the great work. I doubled up on the these Mambacita Kobe 6s. Great shoe! My vote for shoe of the year so far
So happy you were able to get a pair. I would’ve loved one but the way the release was set up…I knew that wasn’t happening. I’d just be happy with a GR pair of Kobe VIs…..though I wish these were more widely available especially since partial proceeds are going to the mamba foundation. 🤷🏽♂️
I kinda wish it was more widely distributed though... I miss playing in KB6s ... and it's kinda hard to get em here in the PH. Such a sweet colorway. Great tribute shoe
Got'em! Received Exclusive Access couldn't check out kept getting error message. Shoe sold out. Monday morning I get a notification from FedEx saying I have a package scheduled for delivery. Check my Nike account and says I purchased the shoe! Total shocked!
👏 I am Kobe fan great review. I have my pair but I don't know about playing in them due to Ja Morant had these on when he had his injury. I love the Hoodie with the actual shoe no disrespect to your other half when you showed the Reebok but I never cross shoe brands except for Supreme with some regular Nike. If you are a true old school sneaker head you get it but to each his/her own.
Brooo so awesome you got those! It's rewlly rare for that. I'm just worried that Nike will disappoint the Mamba team again. But can't wait for the Kobe 7 Protro system supreme to come out soon. Hopefully they release it soon 💯💯
Love Kobe….I switched my Nike profile pic to a Kobe one several days before these launched and got special access - I received the Kobe’s but i never got the GOT’em page or on my purchases it doesn’t show up…..so weird mambaforever
I traded away some 700v3s, Foam Rnrs, and something else that I don't remember, for the Kobes. Lol. Whatever that 3rd pair was, I probably wasn't gonna wear it anyway. Lol. Im not gonna wear these either, but I'll treasure them forever.
I've got a wide foot and I literally couldn't wear Kobes as a casual shoe. Unbelievably tight. I go a full size up in all Nikes but I'm not even sure that'd be enough to get into a Kobe.
Chris are these much tighter than the 2010 original kb6 ? I feel like the og kb6 accommodated my slightly wide foot well and was very comfortable going true to size. Seems like the protros are more narrow… why is Nike trying to kill our feet?
im very happy that kobe bryant shoes are back i grew up watching kobr bryant so im one of his addicted fans 😂😂😂 well the kobe 6 protro for me is more like casual use and if ur playing indoors these are 🔥 but if ur an outdoor hooper please don't please don't because that kobe 6 are not playable for outdoors trust me not to trashtalk i just say this because i think its the truth #Respect to my boy hood idol i think the kobe 5 protro and the kobe 1 protro are better than the 6 if u ask me just saying
I love these shoes! I was very surprised I got these. My first win on snkrs for kobes. These will be on feet for the fall. Beautiful sneaker in person. #kobefan #mambaforever
I want them to release some Kobe Mentality II again :( Being in the Philippines, most of our courts are outdoors. Mentality II was the best one for me.
Do we have any idea when the next Kobe shoe will drop and will they have youth sizes. My daughter (7 years old size 2) refuses to get new basketball shoes in the hopes that she can get a pair of Kobe’s.
I'm very happy that Vanessa and Kobe's estate found a satisfactory set of terms for a new contract, purportedly because they resolved whatever issues she/they had about the accessibility of the line. I'm a little weirded out that the first shoe to come from that supposedly newly accessible line of Kobe's was more limited than any pair I've ever tried to get, and that, once again, genuine fans of Kobe who want to play basketball in, you know, shoes made to play basketball in, are either shit out of luck, as usual, or forced to pay what...$800? for shoes that we can't even feel good hooping in because who can really afford to hoop in shoes that expensive? Anyway, they're very cool, and I'd looked forward to these because I've been a Kobe fan since I was 6 (33 now), and I've always wanted to play in a pair. Kinda depressing looking at these and wondering about what "accessible" means or meant to Vanessa, to the estate, or whoever.

I'm so happy that Nike is continuing Kobe line. It was too legendary to get cut off like that in the first place.
When do they release again?
@@kiesport they might not. So resell is gonna be ridiculous 😞
I’m glad but I also have a feeling Nike will still limit Kobe production
Who cut it off? It ended and Vanessa Bryant didnt renew it because the sample Mambacita somehow got out
Nike is continuing the Kobe because those shoes sell like crazy. If they didn't they would stop
I've always loved the Kobe line, and I have numerous shoes from it. I'm glad that Vanessa Bryant and Nike were able to reach a deal that benefits the family and the academy.

There is always Option B, you don't have to let Nike/Retailers tell you when you are good enough to spend money on a pair of shoes.

Hi Chris, what size is your mambacita hoodie? Looking to buy one but I'm not sure if I need a Medium or large
glad to know the Kobe line is back, personally it would be nice if they keep releasing all the kobes. I really want to get some kobe 4,5 and 6 protros just like how you can get different kinds of jordan
The Kobe 7 Invisibility Cloaks are GOATd & the Kobe 7 Galaxy
patiently waiting for the Kobe 8s protros
Kobe was deciding on going away to create his own brand and i believe he was discussing nike about his deal before he passed away.
I'm glad I got the access to buy a pair of this.
I’m so pissed about this release. I got the “exclusive access” but the app wouldn’t accept my payment. Then it was gone. 😭
There is always Option B, you don't have to let Nike/Retailers tell you when you are good enough to spend money on a pair of shoes.

Teasing a 2k4 review!!! Looking forward to that
We reviewed those years ago.
Man I got a free pair of size 11 when Amazon delivered them to me by accident in 2022. I tried to get them to my neighbor & they would never respond. Never wore them but hate I threw away the box. 🙄 They are just sitting in my closet taking up space 😂. I came here to learn more about the shoe. Great video. Hmmm...🤔
And you are right a person that brought Kobe’s and everything we didn’t get no access
Great sneaker. R.I.P Kobe and Gigi.
So mad I missed on these. I was in the park playing with my little girl during the drop tho. Also mamba mentality ✊🏽
Wow! I really love the mambacita kobe 6 protro.. 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Are u guys gonna be reviewing the Green Beans?
I wish i can cop some kobes anytime in the future
There is always Option B, you don't have to let Nike/Retailers tell you when you are good enough to spend money on a pair of shoes.
Didn't even get a look in Australia, these should have been a wide and general release. The profits for the foundation would be amazing
If only every legit Kobe fan can have this.
💯
I got access and my payment was greyed out by Nike. I have a Kobe tattoo on my wrist 😭
There is always Option B, you don't have to let Nike/Retailers tell you when you are good enough to spend money on a pair of shoes.
I always don't like kodes at first then I just appreciate it
So happy to see this in the market again, although I can't own a pair on these. Envy to people who cope & own a pair on this. 🤣
I had EA and still took the L.. but thinking about it idk how I feel about owning and wearing these, it still breaks my heart to think about what happened 😢
Same here had EA still took the L 😩
Always lived Kobe’s and these are sweet! Hope new ones soon
Never thought I would see these on here
@weartesters Can you do a video of Greatest Kobe's to play in countdown? Would love to see your opinion on all the Kobe lines. Thanks and keep up the great work. I doubled up on the these Mambacita Kobe 6s. Great shoe! My vote for shoe of the year so far

So happy you were able to get a pair. I would’ve loved one but the way the release was set up…I knew that wasn’t happening. I’d just be happy with a GR pair of Kobe VIs…..though I wish these were more widely available especially since partial proceeds are going to the mamba foundation. 🤷🏽♂️
I kinda wish it was more widely distributed though... I miss playing in KB6s ... and it's kinda hard to get em here in the PH.
Such a sweet colorway. Great tribute shoe
Got'em! Received Exclusive Access couldn't check out kept getting error message. Shoe sold out. Monday morning I get a notification from FedEx saying I have a package scheduled for delivery. Check my Nike account and says I purchased the shoe! Total shocked!
Hate the fact they won’t mass product them so everyone can try on and get a pair … why don’t they just make them 130-150 and mass release it
👏 I am Kobe fan great review. I have my pair but I don't know about playing in them due to Ja Morant had these on when he had his injury. I love the Hoodie with the actual shoe no disrespect to your other half when you showed the Reebok but I never cross shoe brands except for Supreme with some regular Nike. If you are a true old school sneaker head you get it but to each his/her own.
They should have made these a GR since it is for a cause. I’m pretty sure that everyone really wants a pair.
Not sure if everyone knows this but if you use a blacklight you can see Kobes signature on the back and the flywire 😳
Brooo so awesome you got those! It's rewlly rare for that. I'm just worried that Nike will disappoint the Mamba team again. But can't wait for the Kobe 7 Protro system supreme to come out soon. Hopefully they release it soon 💯💯
I got access but slept didn't realize till an hour after the notification came through and I was too late when I tried .
There is always Option B, you don't have to let Nike/Retailers tell you when you are good enough to spend money on a pair of shoes.
The only option is retail. 5 to 8 hun is ridiculous!
Still my fav Kobe shoe.
Same reason I don’t buy Doernbecher Air Js resale. None of the money is going to the hospital or the patients. I thought I was the only one.
Nike gave me EA for these but I was too late...still sick about it 😭
Love Kobe….I switched my Nike profile pic to a Kobe one several days before these launched and got special access - I received the Kobe’s but i never got the GOT’em page or on my purchases it doesn’t show up…..so weird mambaforever
This shoe is very nice and the colorway is unique
I got exclusive access on these on SNKRS and slept through the notification. 😕
Do you think going up a full size would be okay? I like a little room in my shoes.
I traded away some 700v3s, Foam Rnrs, and something else that I don't remember, for the Kobes. Lol. Whatever that 3rd pair was, I probably wasn't gonna wear it anyway. Lol. Im not gonna wear these either, but I'll treasure them forever.
love this shoe. hated the fact that it's so hard to get. i hope kobes are easier to cop in the near future.
I'm soooooo envy of you! These look so fresh!
hey, im about to get my first pair of kobes. would you preffer the kobe 6 sweet 16 or the kobe 6 grinch?
Or maybe a history of non signatures Kobe wore!! Kb824💜💛
I've got a wide foot and I literally couldn't wear Kobes as a casual shoe. Unbelievably tight. I go a full size up in all Nikes but I'm not even sure that'd be enough to get into a Kobe.
been planning to buy those but i dont know what size i would pick im normally a size 9
Chris are these much tighter than the 2010 original kb6 ? I feel like the og kb6 accommodated my slightly wide foot well and was very comfortable going true to size. Seems like the protros are more narrow… why is Nike trying to kill our feet?
I love this shoe i bought it, the protro, but one problem, it's folding on my right foot pinky toe how can i fix this problem
Jesus died for our sins so that we can go to heaven. He payed our price. Put your trust in Jesus Christ and he will grant you the gift of heaven. 💯
@@lilstump5539 this is truth. Amen 🙏
im
very happy that kobe bryant shoes are back i grew up watching kobr bryant so im one of his addicted fans 😂😂😂 well the kobe 6
protro for me is more like casual use and if ur playing indoors these are 🔥 but if ur an outdoor hooper please don't please don't because that kobe 6 are not playable for outdoors trust me not to trashtalk i just say this because i think its the truth #Respect to my boy hood idol i think the kobe 5 protro and the kobe 1 protro are better than the 6 if u ask me just saying
kobe bryant pardon me not watching what im typing
I love these shoes! I was very surprised I got these. My first win on snkrs for kobes. These will be on feet for the fall. Beautiful sneaker in person. #kobefan #mambaforever
Men i miss those days that you can grab it on a nike store😔
Kobe didn't want a lifetime deal he was thinking about starting his own brand.
I want them to release some Kobe Mentality II again :( Being in the Philippines, most of our courts are outdoors. Mentality II was the best one for me.
Man….. I really wanted a pair. Nike didn’t grant me exclusive access. 🙍🏻♂️
There is always Option B, you don't have to let Nike/Retailers tell you when you are good enough to spend money on a pair of shoes.
Do we have any idea when the next Kobe shoe will drop and will they have youth sizes. My daughter (7 years old size 2) refuses to get new basketball shoes in the hopes that she can get a pair of Kobe’s.
Excellent volleyball shoes.
I'm very happy that Vanessa and Kobe's estate found a satisfactory set of terms for a new contract, purportedly because they resolved whatever issues she/they had about the accessibility of the line. I'm a little weirded out that the first shoe to come from that supposedly newly accessible line of Kobe's was more limited than any pair I've ever tried to get, and that, once again, genuine fans of Kobe who want to play basketball in, you know, shoes made to play basketball in, are either shit out of luck, as usual, or forced to pay what...$800? for shoes that we can't even feel good hooping in because who can really afford to hoop in shoes that expensive? Anyway, they're very cool, and I'd looked forward to these because I've been a Kobe fan since I was 6 (33 now), and I've always wanted to play in a pair. Kinda depressing looking at these and wondering about what "accessible" means or meant to Vanessa, to the estate, or whoever.
Maybe you get what you pay for.
I’m wondering if the Kobe shoes going to be more available at retail due to the re-signing…
My gut feeling is - NO
How to tell what is real or fake based the crease on the side. Help
