pretty much sometimes I play different
0:01
positions okay I'm I'm like a a little
0:04
LeBron James you know what I'm
0:18
saying what's going on guys this is T
0:21
and as you all know I love the game of
0:23
basketball and for the last like seven
0:25
months I've been playing with the scob
0:26
6es and I just wanted to give you my
0:28
honest review of this shoe now prior to
0:31
the Kobes I played with the Under Armour
0:33
spawn four and this was my favorite shoe
0:36
until I met this babies here now they're
0:39
still on like on the same level as far
0:41
as like my preferences but man I just
0:44
want to break this down today so the
0:45
spawn for was great it did it time and I
0:47
love it now in this shoe I had a size 13
0:50
and I killed it so I was on to my second
0:52
pair until I picked this up and I put
0:54
this one in the dogghouse for now and
0:57
this is the one that I've been using so
0:59
I'm not going to talk the design too
1:01
much because the the silhouette the Kobe
1:03
6 silhouette is impecable so that's all
1:06
I want to say about the design I'm not
1:07
going to waste too much time on it now
1:09
I'm 43 years old okay 43 and I play
1:12
about four or five times a week with the
1:14
guys that are like 20 some guys are 18
1:17
there's one guy that's like 63 but
1:18
everybody else is like under 20 and I
1:21
love the game of basketball as you all
1:23
know that now what do I love about it's
1:25
Kobe so let's talk about uh the
1:27
stability first stability and then we're
1:29
going to talk about Chris we're going to
1:30
talk about ventilation we're going to
1:32
talk about durability and also um
1:35
traction now I play in the winter like I
1:38
play inside okay and and I'm telling you
1:41
right now when I the first day I put
1:42
them on like breaking the me was not too
1:45
bad like it took me what I say like two
1:47
games to get used to them like and one
1:50
thing I like about these shoes is this
1:52
it's like it feels like an extension of
1:53
your body okay that's what I love about
1:55
these shoes as well I don't want to wear
1:57
a shoe and I feel like I have a shoe on
1:58
my feet that's not what I want I want to
2:00
feel like the shoe is part of me and
2:02
it's an extension of my body so when I
2:04
want the when I had this on this is the
2:06
way he felt with his Kobe so that is the
2:09
first thing I want to say second
2:10
stability I'm telling you see how white
2:13
these are like a lot of people are like
2:15
why do you play with low top shoes
2:17
that's because I like my stability okay
2:19
I'm like 256 lb that I was now I'm like
2:22
I lost about 12 13 so I'm like in the
2:24
low 240s now so you see this wide uh
2:28
next to the 4ot you see how wide is like
2:30
when you jump and I don't jump that high
2:32
I I I can't even jump over a quarter all
2:34
right so I don't jump that high so when
2:36
you land you want to make sure your food
2:38
is not wiggling these shoes are stable
2:40
I'm telling you right now stability is
2:42
on point I never felt like I was like
2:44
scared to like do any moves cuz I like
2:46
to like slash I like to play in the low
2:49
post and I never felt like oh I need to
2:51
watch out see I never felt that way so
2:54
again I'm talking about my experience
2:56
okay second thing is this my ankle was
2:58
stable again a lot of people think it's
2:59
because this is uh like low top you're
3:02
going to hurt your ankle no the T the
3:04
the plate on the back is pretty solid so
3:06
it keeps it's sturdy so it keeps your
3:08
fot stable in there you're not going to
3:09
wiggle your fot is not going to wiggle
3:11
okay next thing is let's talk about
3:13
ventilation again I play in the winter
3:16
winter I put them on I was fine the Y
3:18
has like uh um air not air conditioner
3:21
the heater in the in the winter and
3:24
didn't bother me at all I didn't feel
3:25
like my feet were steaming didn't have
3:27
that problem so good mesh material here
3:29
so ventilation is on point and again if
3:32
you look at the inside of the shoe
3:33
there's like a some kind of a inner
3:35
booty there so it keep your foot stable
3:36
in there all right now again as far as
3:39
like tear the shoe did not tear again
3:41
I've been playing for 7 months and my I
3:43
have a wide foot so when I put my foot
3:45
in the shoe when I make my moves I do a
3:47
lot of like moving sudden movement never
3:49
felt like there was never like I put a
3:52
lot of strain on them you see like the
3:54
glue is pretty solid like look at that
3:56
like no break no nothing and I I know a
4:00
guy who plays and usually drags his foot
4:02
so for him like abrasion can happen but
4:06
again they put this like tape like
4:07
parior here this like is I don't it's
4:09
plastic so that's for that protection so
4:11
this is not going to tear so you can
4:13
move however you want no fear of like
4:15
turn up the shoe at all now the next
4:18
thing I want to talk about is the carbon
4:19
fiber here the carbon fiber so what does
4:21
it do the carbon fiber for is for
4:24
portional rigidity so you can't really
4:25
bend that shoe you see how hard it is
4:26
for me to bend it that's what you want
4:28
cuz if your shoe can bend so quick
4:30
you're going to have an injury so you
4:32
want to make sure your shoe does not
4:33
your foot does not B your shoe does not
4:35
bang so this didn't do that so I was
4:37
pretty great it was pretty great now as
4:40
far as like cushioning cushioning now
4:42
the insole you have an insole in here
4:46
that gives you a lot of padding it's
4:47
pretty thick right and then now the Eva
4:52
Mito the Eva MSO that so that that core
4:55
of EV is amazing I'm telling you like
4:57
I've been like I'm heavy so I'm sit
4:59
there like running around running around
5:01
and it still kept his shape there was no
5:04
I would say there was no like deformity
5:05
or none of that stuff you can see some
5:07
wrinkles here that's because I press on
5:08
them a lot and then there Zoom unit at
5:10
the back now I think it's a zoom turbo
5:13
1.0 okay so that that felt great for my
5:16
weight I felt great like cushioning felt
5:19
amazing all right so no problem at all
5:22
now the biggest problem I would say is
5:26
our instraction was not a problem I
5:28
destroyed the shoe as you can see at the
5:30
bottom here you see what I did to this
5:31
shoe why because I played outside I
5:36
played outside and people were like come
5:37
on man why are you using this shoe to
5:39
playside you going to ruin them and a
5:40
lot of guys don't understand like guys
5:42
my age if you're 40 like I don't use
5:45
shoes as uh I would say like this is not
5:47
for me it's not for style I'm playing
5:50
like I'm playing basketball with this
5:51
shoe so when I play outside with them it
5:53
was great I mean traction was amazing
5:55
but then even though like this the fish
5:58
scales like the the rep chillion skills
6:00
are pretty much gone I still think they
6:03
I can still play outside with them like
6:04
pretty fine now when I went to the Y I
6:06
play indoor there was dust on the floor
6:08
even though there was no traction left
6:10
the threads left I didn't have any
6:12
problem I didn't feel like I was kind of
6:14
like sleeping all over the places it was
6:16
great like I still play inside with the
6:17
shoe now you can see from playing
6:20
outside you going to quickly this is
6:21
just 7 months of uh me going out and
6:24
playing all right so you see what
6:25
happened to the bottom that's what will
6:27
happen to yours if you use them outside
6:28
but as as far as like the fit is
6:30
concerned I wear size 13 and these are
6:33
size 13 so they fit through the size I
6:35
have a wide foot I never had a problem
6:37
like I said all it took me was pretty
6:39
much two games to get used to them and
6:41
they felt like an extension of my foot I
6:43
never felt as if uh the shoe was like a
6:46
shoe on My Feet Again I felt like this
6:47
was just part of me so I absolutely love
6:51
the Kobe 6es if I was to give them a
6:53
grade I would say
6:55
99.999999 out of 10 now unfortunately I
6:58
pretty much killed the outsold I'm still
7:01
going to be using them but I'm telling
7:02
you this is amazing ventilation is great
7:05
and playability anybody can wear this if
7:08
you're a guard you can wear this if
7:09
you're a big guy you can wear this so
7:11
it's not like this are these are made
7:12
for like shooting guards or like more
7:14
powerful with anybody can wear this cuz
7:16
I'm I'm like 256 and I play pretty much
7:20
sometimes I play different positions
7:21
okay I'm I'm like a a little LeBron
7:23
James you know what I'm saying but
7:26
anyway these are also great they the
7:28
spawn four I love the spawn for man so
7:31
that's all I wanted to say about this C
7:32
is I hopefully if you were on defense
7:34
about buying the shoes I know I hope you
7:36
are not anymore because these are
7:38
amazing you don't have to buy the
7:39
reverse grinches you can buy any Kobe
7:41
6es love the silhouette and these again
7:43
are amazing one of my favorite shoes I
7:46
swore that I was not going to wear Nike
7:48
shoes anymore because of the spawn 4 but
7:50
now I'm back to wearing these Nikes and
7:52
I love them all right thanks for
