Was able to get them for retail 🙌🏾.. haven’t put on feet yet but did get half size up for the casual wear… thanks for the vid .. always a good time watching
Hey Sean, great review as always. In terms of sizing, unless you have very narrow feet I’d recommend going up half a size even for playing ball, especially if you wear elite socks or other basketball socks. I have slightly wider feet and even going up half a size, there is still quite a bit of pressure and discomfort during the break in period. The protros fit a lot tighter than the OG because it has thicker zoom unit and denser foam, so the inside of the shoe feels smaller on the foot. Shoe sizes are generally measured from the outsole length, not how they fit on the inside!
I had bought the 2020 Grinches, and I sadly had to get rid of them. I bought them in a size 10, and they didn't fit at all. I stupidly ended up letting them go. Fast foward to today, I missed on the shock drop, but I was lucky enough to get Exclusive Access even though i Had bought the Kobe 8 Halos in August. I bought them again in a size 10. This time they fit perfect. I've worn them about 5-6 times. They're really comfortable to me. I'm a teacher, so I've been wearing them with Christmas themed t shirts and brown pants. They look great to me. I think the sizing working out this time was due to me losing over 25 pounds from 2020. If only i had kept the OGs n the collection back then....
@@nniivekkappo7544 for this Reverse pair I went size 10. I do have wide feet. To make matters worse, my left foot measures 9.5 and my left measures 9. I usually got size 10 for Kobe’s. They end up being a little longer than I’d like, but they not too tight. The 6s are pretty snug. Even as a 10.
I wanted these badly but was away all day and missed the 2 cdn raffles I saw. Got the nb 1998 intro though. Looking at resell for these. I own two grinch 6’s so 👍
For the Kobe Protro 4 which is comming : Comparing against Kobe 6 & 8 protro? Should I get the same size on this Kobe 4 protro? I go half size up (I use US 12 in almost every Jordan or Nike) and in Kobes the 12.5 is perfect. When I tried the US12 it fitted me short on the toe, I need that 0,5 cm of extra lenght. Should I do the same for the 4s protro? Thanks a lot in advance
May someone tell me why the original Grinch pair was hyped up a few years back? Because there weren't many neon colored sneakers at that time? I'm not hating on the shoes, I'm just asking honestly cause I'm not really informed on basketball shoes. And it's rare to see a pair of modern basketball sneakers got that much attention, since most of the time people just look for retro Jordan models
Is it even a surprise that once again, Nike refuses to honor Vanessa Bryant's wish that her late husband's shoes be more accessible and reach the hands and feet of actual, long time Kobe fans like me. I refuse to cave in to the resell market peddling his shoes like they are high cost jewelry

do you have wide feet and went true to size then went to break it in to fit perfectly?

My sneaker of the year!!!
One of top 20 absolutely
I like these but I think the Italian Camo next year will hit a bit harder and prefer the original Grinch 6s overall
Dope shoe. Awesome review! Thank you 🙏
Appreciate it!
Smooth review. The best! 👍
Cant wait to get my pair, so happy i copped, but those green laces have to go. They look out of place. They should have come with red laces.
100% agree with the red shoe strings thru 👌🏽 Top 5 of the Year for me 🐍
Good vid I got lucky on SNKRS for my pair and footlocker for my son pair definitely my top 3 pick up
Tried to sell a pair, eBay authentication denied my shoes because extra laces were missing? Very frustrating
Hi sean. How about kobe 8 tts or add half a size?
The shoe was highly anticipated, but the review is not... just playing. Great review as always.
lmfao 😂
Is this better than the Italian camo?
Hi Sean, which store did you get this from in Toronto?
Livestock
It’s a beauty but tough asf to get it!
Hi Sean do you know if Canada is getting the power puff Nike SBs? If so which stores?
Sean how's the sizing of your kith mickey crewneck .. ty 😊
tts but baggy fit
Yo Sean, what are the pants that you are wearing?
They’re Under Armour adjustable joggers
🔥

Since these are a bit tight, happy to buy them off you :)
fire shoe
Fortunate to have both. Got the Grinch on release day in Dec 2020 then the Reverse Grinch on Shock Drop in Nov. while I was at work!! 🐍
Thank God I got these retail. I will be hooping in them like how it suppose to be though lol. The casual wear people can cry about it😂😂
Look very cool but I can't justify it with how rare I'd wear it along with the high resale
Retail win my Guy !!! : 0
whooooooo
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 And Red Is My Favorite Color
R they worth the $500+ that I need to pay right now? Thanks!
Meh probably not.
Ua?
Nope
I took L and paid resell for it.. as it’s a must for me.
you never talked about the box
Yeah, forgot but it’s a scaly plain black box.
Does anybody think that paying resell on these is a worthwhile investment?
These are a 100$ shoe and people are already paying 500 🤦🏻🤷🏻♂️
🔥. after getting all L’s for all the past Kobe protros, FINALLY got EA for these. i guess taking L’s finally paid off 🤣
nice congrats!
@@SeanGo 🙏🏻
Not my thing. 😮
Shocker I actually hit on SNKRS top ten for sure
I just copped off flight club for 600$ 😒🤦♂️ real sneaker head since the 90s early 2000s I couldn’t stand not to have them in my collection
These are easier to rock than the original grinch🔥🔥🔥
Red laces not it imo ruins the point
Never a Kobe release W for me....

Hands down no regrets on picking up a pair especially since I have the 2020 grinch
Before Kobe's death, no one paid attention of Kobe shoes
Yeah it’s wild
Cool but a no for me
As I took my L, this is hard to watch.
