The passion and knowledge on this one made it a great watch even if you’re not super into Kobe’s. Y’all should keep bringing in passionate collectors like Darryl
Growing up basketball never had the same impact as football to me over here in the UK - but we all knew about Kobe! Very interesting to hear Darryl speak about his passion with such knowledge, definitely would like to see more collectors/experts/enthusiasts in the future.
Great talk about growing and maturing with a collection. I’ve been personally been feeling this way for quite some time. It’s good to hear how other collectors go through their journey. Great episode
my man D! good job representing us Kobe fans on here. LEGITTT!!! I don't agree with the selection of the top 10 Kobe's but we already got a list ourselves. Good stuff!
This was perfect timing in terms of Kobe Brand relaunching, I would like to fully admit that I have only been paying attention to snkrs since 2020, so this was a great introduction into the kobe shoes that matter. I have a lot to learn but Im enjoying sneakers and enjoying the show.
I went to the states in 87 (from Australia) and bought the field generals to play cricket in. I would have been one of the first kids to play cricket in Nikes - even though they were made for American Football but we all played in astroturf pitches.
The Kobe 6 FC Barcelona in the mango colorway is my all time favorite in his line, I have the matching away kit from that year. I believe it was the 2009/2010 season
I had a few moments of retrospect and admiration of Vanessa during this podcast. I can't imagine how difficult it is to carry on the Legacy, but something tells me that it will be done with a great deal of Care, Class, and of course, Honor. I am excited to see what the future brings!
Great episode! BUT……….It lowkey bothers me that the boys had a Kobe sneaker convo without mentioning Eric Avar, Jason Petrie, Sonny Vaccaro and others behind the scenes of this phenomenal line. Obviously Kobe’s legacy is what make these sneakers important BUT I needed more insider info and knowledge on this episode.
Just want to share I loved this ep, Kobe's are my favorite shoes. In college (early/mid 2000s)I was on our University salsa dance team, and I would wear my Kobe's on the dance floor. But they're basketball shoes and not dance shoes(dance shoes have a felt/suede bottom for spinning/turning). Because the basketball shoes had so much grip on the dance floor I would tape the bottom of the toes on the outsole so that I could spin and dance in my Kobe's lol. I had the brave blue 9, showtime 9, and black and gold Kobe 6 that were my go to's when dancing. Even took the 6's on a hike and absolutely cooked them but I loved those shoes.
As a kobe huuuuge die-hard fan n I'm 41 years old at that, it's such a blessing to see/hear how much we as kobe supporters keep his name alive period...God bless u all.....mamba out✌🏽
It always makes me smile when you hear real sneaker heads talk about how the culture was when I use to be obsessed with it, shout out D, been a cool brotha for a long time.... shout out the homie Frank Nitty too, all solid brothers I've been fortunate to break bread with over sneakers.
I find it so funny that it's spectacular that "Dunks sitting on shelves at JD! 😮" - that's what everyone wanted and that's how it should be. Enough supply to meet demand.
I’ll be honest the Kobe 11 was the first Kobe shoe I liked I never really paid attention to his sneaker line until that one came out… the grey pair was crazy
Daryl, you hit it dead on. Not all Kobe heads' number one pair is going to be the Grinch 6s. It's all hype nowadays with everyone blindly following the next sheep declaring the Grinches to be the best pair of Kobes.
Kobe is my favorite player of all time I think him alongside MJ are the best basketball players that have ever existed, nobody above them for accolades, resume and especially for the actual game. However I love to wear sneakers casually and majority of Kobes are lowtops and they don't go with my style plus the Kobe line happened during the unfortunately era of transition from real materials to synthetics. And as I said I don't love low tops aesthetically they look good only on an actual sporty/performance vibe, so they're limited on a casual style, having said that my list is not set in stone, I speak only for myself and to me exclusive sneakers definitely count: 1_ Kobe 1 Prelude 2_ Kobe 1 x Stash 3_ Kobe 1 81 points 4_ Hyperdunk Kobe fade to black 5_ Kobe 1 blackout 6_ Kobe 1 x undefeated, flight jacket 7_ Kobe 1 Devin Booker PE 8_ Kobe 1 x premium goods, atomic 9_ Kobe 1 MLPS 10_ Kobe 11 fade to black 11_ Kobe 2 prelude 11_ Kobe 1 sharpshooter 12_ Kobe 2 lite varsity purple 13_ Kobe 2 lite antracite 14_ Kobe 9 premium volt 15_ Kobe 3 prelude 16_ Kobe 2 fade to black 17_ Kobe 8 SS Christmas 18_ Kobe 6 Grinch 19_ Kobe 5 Bruce Lee 20_ Kobe 5 prelude 21_ Kobe 5 chaos 22_ Kobe 5 alternate chaos 23_ adidas crazy 2 KB purple 24_ Kobe 1 x undefeated, purple Kobe 10 elite gold rose, Kobe 9 elite hero, elite details, black elite krm, adidas crazy Crazy 2 away are honorably mentions, no galaxys, no what the, and no htm Milan... At least not over my top 24. Very unpopular opinion, I know.
I think we have to realize that stateside Air Maxes are slept on… most air max drops sit unless they’re a collab.. I’m hype for the obsidian Big Bubbles that are about to drop tho
What do you think is the best Nike Kobe sneaker of all time?
Beethoven, Grinch, or Bruce Lee
Easter Kobe 8
Zoom Kobe 5 Lower Merion
Grinch is hard to argue with (for the masses).
Hard to say but I couldn't argue against the kobe 6 grinch. 6's are my favorite. Kobe 9 detail
Couple of weeks without this show, were so sad! Glad to have it back with such fresh energy!
The passion and knowledge on this one made it a great watch even if you’re not super into Kobe’s. Y’all should keep bringing in passionate collectors like Darryl
I’m one of them !!!!
Great Episode, Shoutout to Darryl for dropping all that Kobe knowledge and for having a genuine love of the sneaker game!
Growing up basketball never had the same impact as football to me over here in the UK - but we all knew about Kobe! Very interesting to hear Darryl speak about his passion with such knowledge, definitely would like to see more collectors/experts/enthusiasts in the future.
been friends with this dude on Facebook for 13-14 years… real OG
Great that you guys had him on the show, shows a lot
THEY ARE BACKKKKKK
Great talk about growing and maturing with a collection. I’ve been personally been feeling this way for quite some time. It’s good to hear how other collectors go through their journey. Great episode

Love this!!! A real deal community voice & Kobe collector! Well done!

WOWWWW THAT GRAPE 5 TAKE WAS WILD!!! 😂😂😂
I went to the states in 87 (from Australia) and bought the field generals to play cricket in. I would have been one of the first kids to play cricket in Nikes - even though they were made for American Football but we all played in astroturf pitches.
This show keeps getting better and better. I think Matt Welty actually has likable qualities. 💯
The fact that this show still exist is amazing...
😂
The Kobe 6 FC Barcelona in the mango colorway is my all time favorite in his line, I have the matching away kit from that year. I believe it was the 2009/2010 season

THEYRE BAAAAAACK

Gotta meme that Welty “Nike! What are you doing?” Moment lol
The Kobe grinch and Beethoven will always be my favorite

Awesome episode. Love hearing anything about Kobes

the jerry buss sunglasses is crazy 😂😂
Welcome back boyz !
One of the best podcast! A real
Collector, also the older I get the more I relate to Welty
Barcelona/Mango Kobe VI are still a grail for me and this episode was special 🙌🏼
OOOOH that extra bar in the beginning. Crisp
Super good episode!! Salute to Darryl Glover 🐍👟🔥🔥🔥
My Fridays are back!
Ok, you had your three week break and now you aren't allowed to take another week off, ever! I genuinely missed you guys.
Personally, the What the Kobe 8s. Been wanting those since middle school and finally secured a pair🙏🏻

Ayyyeee!!! I grew up in the same place as this guy! BIG shoutout to him! Seems super chill and definitely knows his stuff
The prelude videos really went crazyyyyyy
I
Love
This
Podcast
💯
Respect
To
All
You
Guys
8 day camping for shoes is insane! Bruh.
I just love it when I get a notification saying "Someone liked your comment!" or "Someone has just subscribed!" That really makes my day!👀✌🌝
A feel you. Sneaker community is cool. It’s the $ that brings in the greed and politics
Attention seeking? Or the need to feel needed?
@@Resist_Oppression I don’t mind hearing other experiences. Makes your un make a lot of sense
@richf4283 neither do I. I simply asked a question. Next time, use English, please. Thx.
It always makes me smile when you hear real sneaker heads talk about how the culture was when I use to be obsessed with it, shout out D, been a cool brotha for a long time.... shout out the homie Frank Nitty too, all solid brothers I've been fortunate to break bread with over sneakers.

Kobe 9. Great performer shoe, traction + drop insoles was special
the kobe 5 bruce lees have been my favorite since they debuted them against the nuggets on February 5th 2010
i like how welty is talking about getting rid of pairs... this is a good convo always bring up!
Ayeee South Jersey getting some love! Only the real ones know about camping at the Cherry Hill mall 😂
Fresh episode!! Gang is back
Great episode. Best show out
Them Nightmare Before Christmas crazy 8s are TOO underrated
Darryl is a real one, awesome choice on the guest speaker
You kept it 💯 thanks. I found it weird how smooth & early the drop was I had a feeling something was up!
1:17:30 NT days I bought some Columbia 11’s in 2006 or 07. I had to just trust the dude and send the money order, they were in great shape.
We’re so back
I've missed you lovely gents!
This bloke is a legend
shout out to Brendan for taking the time to have a conversation when he visited the Adidas headquarters!
Yoo Brendan those shades are🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’m searching in the comments for the brand bc I need them.
Bro I was like where YALL AT ?! no sneaker world w out y’all ❤❤❤❤❤
Congrats Brotha D, well deserved 🙏🏼
So glad y’all are back
The “Draft Day” Kobe 11 is the most slept on sneaker that should’ve made the list.
It’s so refreshing to not have to see Trinidad James on this show.
Kobe 5 Chaos is my all time favorite Kobe shoes
THE BOYS ARE BACK!! 🔥🙌🏾
Kobe 3s are one of my favorites cause it was the first pair of Kobe’s that I hooped in
Putting “Kobe Expert” without putting the guys actual name down with it is really messed up.
I’ll be honest the Kobe 11 was the first Kobe shoe I liked I never really paid attention to his sneaker line until that one came out… the grey pair was crazy
Kobe 11's most underrated number
Love your content fam! Keep it up! Can't wait to see what else you make in 2023! 👟🔥🎥
Kobe IV “Venom” PE is the best Kobe ever
WONDERFUL EPISODE! So have to see a sneaker friend on this! Well done Darryl!
This series is largely remembered for the stylish clothes Detectives Brendan Dunne, Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs wore
Missed yall
one of the better colorways for sure. you have been pretty generous with the ratings for a bit tho lol. Nike must have figured out the formula!
We back baby…!!!
Love this episode so far.. didn’t finish. But it’s definitely ok to get rid of pairs here and there and slow down with buying new shoes 💯
those Purple Hyperdunks with the case were dropped at HOH LA, a lot more pairs out there, many samples were made...
Can't wait for them olive 5's to drop I'm definitely gonna try and get 2 pairs if I can love um!! 🔥🔥🔥
Daryl, you hit it dead on. Not all Kobe heads' number one pair is going to be the Grinch 6s. It's all hype nowadays with everyone blindly following the next sheep declaring the Grinches to be the best pair of Kobes.
6.30 pm in Amsterdam. Y'all making me cancel my social plans and devour this pod.
Shoutout Brother D….609 stand uo

Dark times w/out this sneaker show..
It’s about time you guys came back next time prep us for three weeks have the videos premade and release while your on vacation
I support this take.
I think we have to realize that stateside Air Maxes are slept on… most air max drops sit unless they’re a collab.. I’m hype for the obsidian Big Bubbles that are about to drop tho
Welty is on point with the container store boxes.
Another H2C, another season of complex sneakers show
Anyone know where Darryl's shirt is from?
We need a trivia episode where we test everyone’s knowledge Fr 😂
I've just turned 29 and gone 1.5 sizes up in the last year too
I worked at Foot Locker , Kids and Foot Action lol 😂 that Insole and a pair of socks 🧦 😂😂
Double swooshes always do it for me. Barcelona TN great colorway
Another One 🫡
How rare is the Zoom Kobe 4 'Metallic Silver' I don't see it for sell very often. So is it just not a coveted shoe or not much inventory out there?
Burgundy Jordan 5s are sitting ducks. Olives prolly will too. Appreciate the 5, but I never wear any of mine. Don’t like they way they look on feet.
My Top 1 kobe is the Kobe 5 Lakers Away colorway... just to share
Kobe 7 Christmas Day are so tough. Top 10
Low key a hot take. Those snakeskin Kobe 9 were insane.
KOBE!!!!! 💜💜💯
I’ve missed you.
kid hollywood 5s were my favorite kobes.
