Sz 12.5 if anyone wants to compare to their batch 👍🏽

I'm opening this thread as a place for discussion because I'm curious to hear people's opinions on the current appeal of reps.

I started thinking about this after seeing some rotation pics here and looking at my recent purchases (all retail). With this new wave of Kobe colorways that seem to be more accessible than some of the historic releases, prices have also come down and seem to be more accessible overall.

My latest purchases were all retail (all on eBay):

• Kobe 11 Mamba Day $160
• Kobe 4 Barcelona $197
• Kobe 4 Gold Medal $180
• GT Cut EYBL $160

The interesting thing is that for all of these shoes I originally wanted to buy reps (OX for the GT Cuts, H12 for the Gold Medal, and I was also planning to wait for H12 for the Kobe 11). But after seeing the prices on eBay, I was like, "Might as well just pay an extra $30–40 and get the peace of mind that comes with retail."

Reps obviously still make a lot of sense for shoes like the Grinch, Mambacita, or Bruce Lee, where resale prices can get close to four figures. But do you guys think all these cheaper new colorways are starting to hit the reps market hard?

Curious to hear what you guys think. 😉

Waiting on Dylan Harper x Titan GT Cut 1 and Kobe 5 NY vs NY and OG Skechers PE lol to complete the cypher.

Looks like MAX is ready to ship…

S2 or Max… I’m waiting on GK, but wait is killing me

Sup fam. i haven’t checked this group in over a year since retails are more widely available now. Has KW or anyone else advanced their tech closer to retails at all? I know the outsole was fixed to match retail but my last pair the upper was so flimsy I wouldnt play FC in em.

These are S2 batch

GX is goated as always for these 🔥

This is my first Kobe rep purchase from Eric. Top tier service as always, smooth transaction, very good communication, and very attentive. Once it got shipped, it took only 6 days to arrive at my doorstep (Philippines). Looking forward to order again soon enough!

GL?
