In 2015, Nike and Kobe Bryant will bring you a top notch performance model for an affordable price.
The Nike KB Mentality looks as if they’ve begun to release overseas, and we can expect to see them hit the States in early 2015. This model will feature Fuse along the upper, a thick rubber outsole that will last both indoors and outdoors along with a drop-in Lunarlon midsole for cushion. You’ll get all of this for $100. Not too bad if you ask me.
I was able to check these out during the Summer, and they were really cool, and I was surprised with the price point. The tech (upper) is becoming ‘outdated’, in a sense, with everything shifting towards woven and mesh uppers so it’s not a huge surprise that we’d get something like this as a budget option. From what I was told, Kobe actually had just as much input on this shoe as he does his signature model, so they’re still up to his specifications, and Mamba approved.
Take a look at some upcoming colorways below and share your thoughts on them in the comment section.
black all day! with anything and for any occasion! good thing i did not get the 8 and 9
what, full length drop in lunarlon midsole?! i’m going to have to investigate….
not for me, but this is good shoe for all the people asking whats a good outdoor low top
still lovin my kobe 9 ems, cause after they retire from the court, they’re going to be in the everyday beaters rotation
well, that’s how i rationalize spending $150 on shoes lol
Looking good! Leaps and bounds better looking than Run The One, a very similar shoe IMO. Full length lunarlon for this price, I might cop the all black version.
All black looks dope. Drop in lunarlon midsole, and for $100. I’ll grab these for outdoor ball. Almost a guarantee they’ll be better than the venomenons.
Looks similar to the Kobe 8 in terms of performance and looks.
Well from my perspective, this shoe is perfect if you are one of those players that have to transition from wearing it for casual looks to on the blacktop. That’s the beauty to most of the balling on a budget sneakers
I’m really surprised they’re releasing another Kobe model. Does this mean the Venomenon’s will not be sold anymore? I’m not complaining as any model with good tech and low price is music to my ears!
Best Looking $100 pair of basketball shoes I’ve seen in a long time.
Black CW is dope
That black color wary looks pretty good. I’m sure that even more will be dropping. This shoe looks like a nice option for those balling on a budget or anyone really.
way*
looks kinda like a indoor soccer shoe..nice price point though..
Blackout!! Definite cop!
I might be overreacting, but the traction pattern,full length Lunarlon…NW does this remind you of the Kobe 8? If so is it possible this will be the best bang for buck model for 2015? Lol 100 dollar Kobe 8,a kid can dream.
Clutchfit Drive lows will probably be $99.99.
Also, the Under Armour Anatomix Spawn lows were $99.99 on release, but they’re even cheaper than that right now at most places.
I also prefer both UA shoes to these aesthetically.
I’d say no to your question. I think both those two UA shoes would be much better for indoor play. If the Clutchfit Drive lows are priced at $99 (just a guess on my part, but one that is based on past models), I think they’re going to be the best bang for your buck shoes by far.
Having said that though, these might be better for outdoor play, so I will probably get a pair if Nightwing reviews them and gives them a decent score.
Lol when you click the link for signature model it takes you to a golfsmith page for a driver
looks like Kobe 8….
Not the best visually but that traction tho…
Yeah, I don’t like them much visually, but the traction looks great for outdoor play and if they also have a full length drop in Lunarlon midsole, I’m definitely interested in these for outdoor play.
Can these be worn indoors? Or is that totally out of question?
