    Hi Chris and Jodi!!! Thank y’all so much for being my favorite UA-cam channel for the past 8 years that I have been watching! Weartesters continues to evolve and improve even in the difficult world we find ourselves in. Fire new intro! Also, thank you for dropping a new video on my birthday! Y’all dropped a video on a Kobe shoe, with Chris rocking the matching Since Apparel shirt, with me rocking the same exact Since Apparel shirt, and matching WAU Kobe Tributes on my 24th birthday. How perfect is that?! Thank you again so much for everything y’all have a fan for life in me. If I had one question it would be, could we please get another Peter cameo in a video???

    I remember the commercial with Kobe and these shoes. I thought man those are cool looking. I had to beg my grandma to get me a pair. Thankfully she got me the black pair and I loved them. They arrived the day before a basketball camp I was attending and man I was on cloud 9. About 7 or 6 years ago I got the black and purple pair. I will say the lock down for me isn't the best and I am too scared to play in them again. So I just pick them up from time to time and think about the day I got them in.

    Shock Dropped in the PH last month.. Was fortunate enough to cop a pair.. Sold out in minutes.. Retailed for 6500Php.
    Always been wanting to have a pair of these colorway since H.S.
    Hope they release the Crazy 8s in the all star colorway.. 🙏

    Played in these back in the day and loved them! I went to TTS back in the day. It's kind of a funny story how I stumbled on these too. My housemate was moving back to Alaska and he left them. Hahaha. Real excited to see Adidas bringing this back. I will definitely cop a pair.

    I had these exact shoes and the exact white colorway! I played in these as my first real basketball shoes outdoors back in the Philippines. I loved them! I cleaned them after every use as it got really dirty playing outside in the streets of manila so I would scrub them down with water and laundry soap after every use. I miss these shoes and I definitely would buy a pair when they come out. Hopefully they come out in Canada.

    Those are beautiful, that white colorway is also the same that Kobe wore in the adidas commercial for the shoe. I have that same purple retro, they're very fun to play and, with the right insole (I wore the Crazy 8 thick rubber insole every time with these and made them way more comfortable) they're beasts for outdoor hoops.

    I remember wanting these and only one store in the area I live in had them and only one pair in my size because they had to dig for them in the back. My parents wouldn't even entertain buying them or helping me buy them for HS basketball because they were "pricey". So I got the new Converse after the Allstar2000s and they were terrible. But a year later we happened to be by that store and they had a huge inventory sale and low and be hold that one pair sz13 was still there, snatched them up and paid for them before my dad saw them. Lol, ended up one of my favorite pair shoes.

    I had the black OGs back in '98. Copped them from the clearance rack at Sports Authority for $50. The fit was amazing and they were comfortable as hell to play in. I was probably 160 then, so they're great for lightweight players. I couldn't hoop in them now. I'm like 230 and they don't have much impact protection.

    The first Adidas (Antoine Walker's) Kobe briefly rocked were super underrated... These are cool looking and I also liked the 1st KB8, The Kobe (Audi ones) but the rest of Kobe's Adidas models were pretty much trash. But for me personally, the whole 'Feet you Wear' tech was terrible and used to just KILL my 1st MTP joint.
