Happy belated Mamba Day to everybody who celebrates. Jacques was in attendance for the Mamba League Invitational and got a chance to try on the Nike Kobe 3 Protro and the improvements to the sneaker. Meanwhile, Juan has some thoughts on the upcoming Hyper Grape Kobe 9 Elite Protro that may or may not be an homage to Michael Jackson or Prince, Nike’s long-awaited preorder strategy, and why Tommy Fleetwood’s win at the Tour Championship isn’t treated as a big deal by Nike. And for this week’s Sneaker Mount Rushmore+, it’s the Kobe Bryant edition.
