“Mambacita” Nike Kobe VI Protro coming May 1 on SNKRS Early Access

Brandon King

I had a suspicion that somehow Nike would louse up the ”Mambacita” Kobe VI Protro release.

Kevin Durant officially debuts KD 15 in play-in game

Brandon King

I’m old enough to remember when NBA players debuting new shoes in the postseason was a major thing.
