While watching EuroLeague & NBA, we noticed something. Almost everyone is wearing the same shoe - Kobe 6s. In this video, BasketNews' Gytis Blazevicius takes a look at what might be the secret formula of success behind all of it.

Just sharing you this, as Romans 6:23 says, for the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. God loves you so much that he sent his son Jesus Christ to die on the cross to pay the price of all our sins. After 3 days after he died,he rose up from the dead. He will accept you not matter what you been through or have done. Accept the lord Jesus Christ as you lord and savior and ask forgiveness of all your sins to be saved from sin and have eternal life and not go to hell Jesus is our only hope for salvation and the if you don’t accept him you will not heaven and you will go to hell if you don’t accept Jesus Christ as your lord and savior ❤
The 2010's was the best era for sneakers. For me, the best were the Hyperdunk, but that's because I prefer higher kicks.
Nike should retro those 2011 hyperdunks!
I remember when people wore lebron 13s off court
@@jjcornelio7741 They already retro hyperdunk 2017, so hopefully one day
accidentally left my hyper dunks in a hotel room and they “couldn’t find them”
I wore my 2010 hyperdunks for damn near 6 years 🤣🤣 no tread just vibes
the traction from these shoes is top notch. they provide really good ankle protection and manoeuverability when changing directions.
They do not provide good ankle protection 😂
Kobe 9s weren’t about ankle support at all it was a low top that looked like a high top. Kobe designed it like a boxers shoe after watching Manny Pacquiao boxing and was impressed by his footwork
I’m all in on the KB9. Still have the black,red,and Bruce Lee. All for gym only. I’m a 14.5 and they’re still my favorites. The KB6 was great. But the 9 is best for me.
I think some boxers even wore them in the ring.
Kobe 6's are so good and also so popular that they made a volleyball variant called the Hyperattacks, which literally share 1:1 designs with the 6's.
That's just to not piss off volleyball purists. Many volleyball players openly wear basketball shoes. Aside from Kobe 6s I see KDs, Lebrons, and Currys on volleyball courts.
@@toskiemail1371surprised you didn’t say WoW… way better volleyball shoes than any of those
I've never understood why people like a high top shoes. They say it's for the ankles, but whenever I've worn them, my ankles just feel stiff.
It's actually true that it's for ankles. But you're actually right about it being stiff. Your knees would get compromised because of it. That's why I'm wearing mid cut shoes lol
i think they’re more comfortable
High cuts feel way too chunky on my feet. Mid cuts are the best. If I need any more ankle protection I'd wear straps/braces but even that'd mean I gotta go half a size up on my shoes. Compression socks are the best.
Yep, they're supposed to feel stiff, that's what ankle-protection means. Perosnally it saved me from a bad ankle sprain on more than one occasion. Low cuts definitely feel better, no question about it, but less secure. Some people say "just wear ankle braces" or would lecture you about strengthening your ankles, but every foot's anatomy is different and there's no single truth that will work for everyone.
@@gobbledygookie there is no such thing as ankle protection from a sneaker the protection comes from how strong your ankle is ankle protection was marketing Strategy think about how many soccer players where low cuts and how much cutting they do if you need protection where an ankle brace not tryna debate just tryna educate
Really liked this video! Would love to see some more with signature basketball shoes (Air Jordan 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.)!!
You gotta talk about the Huarache 2K4's too man! I know they weren't Kobe signature shoes but they became iconic because of him.
My top 5 Kobes: 1. Kobe 6, 2. Kobe 8, 3. Kobe 5, 4. Crazy 8, 5. Kobe 11!
Whats your favorite colorway of the 6s?
No Kobe 9 is WILD
Kobe 9 is truly overrated. Clunky, stiff, heavy. Great traction and decent cushion. I got 2 bethovens and they are not good performers. Haven't tried 9 EM yet but it makes sense why they would create one.
I had the same blue camo ones when I was young, and man they were awesome. My favorite of all time for sure. We called them the avatars, because the movie released short before they dropped.
Remember hooping in Kobe 6 and Lebron 8 back in high school. I got the concord colorway first and later grabbed a pair of blue camo.
kobe 6s are my favorite shoes of all time period. so nice on the court and they look amazing and got so many classic colorways
To be honest the VI, VII and X are the bests basketball shoes that I ever worn, they might be not having the catchiest colorway and materials at the time but, they are the comfiest and even fit nicely on the forefoot. Making it easier to move around the court
My theory is that low - to mid-cut bball shoes are better for your ankles because they allow your muscles to actually work. High-tops limit your ankles to depend on the sneaker.
You’re hundred percent correct and there’s studies to prove it
Kobe 9 were elite as well
I remember the hate with first low top Kobes. 'Low tops for Bball, hell naw'. Look how far we got
Way of Wade 808 is a game changer
I got kobe 6 all star OG real other day and the grip is still better than any shoes ive ever wore before.
The adidas Kobe 1 aka Audi TT shoes,where great basketball shoes,the grip was top notch.
Reverse grinches are around $400 now. But the grinches? Different story 😂
The Kobe VI are low tops, low to the ground outsole, and barely any heel drop (basically flat) everything from they Kobe V and after are basically a modern Converse All Star. Converse got it right over 100 years ago, you can actually ball in the Converse Chuck 70, the rubber outsole and the cushion insole provides enough protection (don’t try to play in the cheaper Chuck’s though, they are literally defined as slippers to avoid import tax laws). The whole “low cut,low outsole” is genius marketing, Bill Russell was jumping out of the gym every game in low cut Converse All Stars, look at old NBA photos from 1950s-60s, the low top Chucks were just as popular as the high tops. TIME IS A FLAT CIRCLE ⭕️.
My main gripe with Kobe's shoes is that they fit way too narrow. I can never find comfortable shoes that have a wider toe box.
@@bball3048mmfr Yea, that is the problem with Signature Shoes, they are made for a specific person then sold to the masses. Luckily I have a narrow foot so Kobe’s work for me, while Lebron’s feel like work boots. Also love those Converse Pro BB Eclipse in low, which I know is based on one of the Kobe’s.
I’ve bought a few Kobe 6 protros and they are by far the best basketball sneaker I’ve ever had.
dame certitfied 1 and 2 are great id love to see a vid on that
Realistically because Zoom Turbo is the best thing and it’s set up well in Kobes. Also honouring a legend that they desire to emulate in some ways (I’m not sure 😢Nike have done it perfectly but they’ve done it pretty well)
im 45+yo and i dont care much about shoes, however, if i ever come accross one of these i might consider getting them :) I had a pair of nike airs when I was 21yo, for me those were the best shoes ever. my son has a pair of jordans (his second pair), im somewhat happy that jordans are still around and even more popular.
I’m a nurse and I use 6 pair of Kobe 6 in rotation for work lol. Very comfortable arguably the best sneaker basketball shoe ever
Different colorways in all 6 pairs?
The 1st shoe I ever saved up for and used my own money playing basketball in high school-wore them for 3 years and played in 2 state championships. Retired them after HS but I still have my royal blue Kobe VI's. Not a fan of the crazy color ways really, but I will contend that this is the best hooping shoe ever made.
im really missing the hyperdunks highs or lows they were worn by big guards and big men
1:48 how do you not know that😂😂
i love the kobes but for the price i would like harder rubber on the outsole for extra durability
Mamba Forever!! ❤
Is the reverse or camo better?
It's kinda sad that kobe isn't alive to see how well his shoes have been doing these last couple of years
8 felt like clouds
Idk, something about the Grinch’s is just amazing, I def play different with these compared to others, but I also did purchase ae1 storm troopers recently so we’ll see
Kobe 6s are great shoes and personally I love the Italian Camo color choice
Respect and who can be against Kobe fr
totally agree with you, Kobe 4 and Kobe 6 were the greatest of basketball shoes ever!
The OG hyperdunk was a straight game changer. The rereleases a couple years ago didn’t do them any justice. that original release was just different
Herb Jones had like 50 different Kobe’s on this season he almost got a new every game same Witz Naji Marshall
wonder where they get them from
@@TheMilchBroetchen they both signed to Nike I think and I also think you can ask for all the shoes if so
Besides them looking sick as hell
There is only one (stupid) thing I dislike about Kobe Grinches… and it is the fact that they are being overused all season long, not only at Christmas! I mean… is like singing christmas carols in summer… or wearing an ugly christmas jumper in March! 😂
It's because they're too beautiful to only use them once a year, trust me, if I had them I'd be using them in most games
RIP to the GOAT KOBE
These shoes made me avg 8 pts a game way back in college coming off the bench with just final scores avg 30-40
tbh its mainly cause most of the leagues players are signed with nike and its the best option from nike other brands like li ning and anta make way better shoes imo but just have not nearly as much players signed
In the past, most of players love the Kobe 6. As a memory for Kobe Bryant, we will have Kobe 6 for remembrance for him. We will give respect for him after his Tragedy in 2020. Rest in peace, Kobe Bryant.
The Kobe 6 is my dream shoe. I really wish I could get a pair, but I don’t wanna give up both of my kidneys just to get a pair.
Another thing I’ve noticed besides so many players wearing Kobe’s/6’s, is that players more so then regular folks have Kobe in their goat discussion more often. I personally have always said MJ, Kobe, then LBJ. The average person it’s MJ or LBJ 95% of the time. I think what the players think speaks volumes
Kobe 6 Was My Favorite Shoes To Ball In , I Wouldn’t Do It Now But Yeah , I Love Them On Battle Field 💯
Yo had the timelines wrong nor did you mention the hyperdunks which came out in 2008
The OG 6 are wide and good to play in, the protros are narrow and kills your feet.
Everyone in they gym rocks Kobe’s wen they play ball
Can someone tell me the name of the shoe that amongst other PJ Dozier wears. The light blue adidas shoes?
harden vol 7, great shoe
@@mr.ore13 thanks👋👋👋
Q
The Kobe 6's was the BEST shoe I've ever owned.....I hope Nike makes these every year
Nice Weartesters shots!
2:50 The Kobe 1 was suppose to be the Air Flight Huarache.
I don't understand it tbh. Because i only read things about the shoe breaking within 10 uses
Aye your eyes looking a lil red 420 🎉
Personally think the XI are the best kobes ever made. They are so comfortable
Kobe 8 is the way to go
Then you have to use an ankle brace 🤷🏻. Jordan 4s, 11s and most recently the Zion ones are the ones I enjoyed the most
Yep I only see team sneakers, the brand a player belongs to. Or Kobe’s or Jordan’s
There was no need for the ankle rolling segment 😭😭😭
Are the Kobe 6's actually lighter than the Kobe 5's?
This guy’s casualness about sneakers and his Zangief accent is wonderfully humorous and cringe😂
2:21 what you mean its like Harden vol 7
Because people make trends. Just like we're still wearing Jordans from the 80s.
Kobe 6 is the goat shoe
Kobes are all over nba
Bismallah brother 🙏🏽
kobe 8’s🔥😮💨
title is “why is everyone hooping in kobe 6s” but takes 6 minutes before he talks about the kobe 6s lol. literally 2/3 of the video isnt even about the 6s
If u tried a pair u would know why it's a best seller
I still have 12 pairs left from my old basketball days. Best shoe ever for me.
I have a really bad heel balance…And Kobe signature shoes are not for me..
kyrie 4 is the GOAT hoop shoe
Looks like Lebron gonna have to copy Kobe’s shoe a little more to sell more lmao
05:18 ...for the same reason that pro bball players wrap their ancles solid with tape while in other sports they don't. Basketball is a sport where you jump among many players and thus you have higher chances of landing on top of another foot and sprain your ancle. Kawhi could say a lot about the matter :P . Of course the low cuts have other advantages but for all the non pros that play basketball out there and don't get their ancles braced by some physio guy before the games, the mid-high cuts offer some protection
Plus all the pros are doing so many polymetrics for ankle stability and mobility. Their muscles and joints are on whole another level. Regular folks playing for fun without all those extra stuff, might find use of the mid-cut more.
Been liked em🤷♂️
kobe shoes are a pain for wide footers
Kobe 5 is the best of all time
Lots of replicas be aware what you buy!! BEST sneaker ever.
Because they got the money.
Nice video but you should give credit to the Weartesters and the other channels you took footage from....
Because it’s Kobe’s year bruhh
Kobe 6*,5*,8,11 😎👍🏼
Kobe is the goat thats why
I just cannot comprehend why they did not put a zoom air bag in the heel. Wake up ppl, Nike is cheapskating in EVERY shoe nowadays. A zoom air bag costs them maybe 1-2$ in production and they still wont put in one of the best cushion tecs ever just to increase their margin by a few thousand dollars.
I mean these arguments for low shoes would like them to make sense but they don’t as nba players ever since they weear these stupid low shoes have increased in injures hundredfold
because its a system.
Nah I had Allen Iverson reebok answer 5 low in 2001! Just saying those where low
im trying to sell my kobe 7( never used it), I wished this video would be about 7 hahaha
How much

ein Beitrag des 3. April 2024 (der 1. Mittwoch nach dem Ostersonntag der Westlichen Kirchen) Who are the ancestors of Kobe Bryant?
Everyone’s hooping in Kobe 6’s because a lot of them mf hooping in fake Kobe’s 😂 and 6’s is just the one that have reps
Why not Genius?
Because they wanna destroy their feet
Li ning gamma
The 9 is better 😂
… wtf did I witness!?!😊
“Kobe thinks you’re soft, he said take his shoes off”
🤣😭🤣
It’s because it’s hypebeast trend… ever since Kobe “died” and his shoes got inflated it created an artificial rare value. I love Kobe but most who wear those Kobe’s are fake fans ❤
