hes a God from above! he can do whatever he wishes!
Players heavily tape their ankles so if he does sprain his ankles, it won't be because of a low top shoe. It'll be because he landed wrong. If your foot lands in an awkward position, a high-top or low-top will not save you.For those that care, here are pics of the Kobe IV:
Only spoiled idiots would wear those for basketball... everybody else knows high tops rock more. of course, when you're spoiled ass kobe, you can just tape your ankle and wear a more protected version of them on court. it's a terrible message to kids, though.
That's the official reason. What's actually happening is Nike plotting on a shoe that people buy for casual wearing on the street. Most basketball shoes are actually worn on the street by people who think they look cool. So with this hybrid between street and basketball shoe, you got a hip Kobe signature shoe without a high top that hinders people from wearing them on the street during the summer or something. You got the ultimate seller. Of course, Nike won't just do such a basketball shoe without the backing of one of the elite players of our time. There comes Kobe in, telling everybody how cool it is. It sends a terrible message to kids who will now think that you don't need to high top, and that they can play faster with those low top shoes. They will go extra fast and emphatic, and roll their ankles badly. A lot of young bodies will be ruined over this.

I knew he wasnt Black. Want to take a guess as to what the most popular sport amongst black people is? in the US which is where I am...the NBA is....Kobe is...and this site is focused around? Id say Football (American) and Basketball.

I think you're being a little over-dramatic man...
