Men's Kobe Mamba Rage Basketball Sneakers from Finish Line
Product Details
Web ID: 6112235This shoe is a must have
The materials in the shoe wake it more of a stiff feel, but i personally prefer this. The traction, lightweight feel, and court feel on this shoe is remarkable. These have now become my go to game shoes and I've had them for about a year and a half. If you maintain the shoes in a very good condition, like cleaning the bottoms and the upper, the shoe can last a long time and works well. Plus the materials, a little stiff at first, help make it an enduring shoe. I do have to say that the insole in them does begin to hurt your foot after about 4 hours of playing, and I do some intense workouts in them so they are very durable. The looks of this shoe fabulous the gold and black colorway are my favorite, even though i have the dark grey pair.

amazing
These shoes are very light, the provided rubber sole makes it easier to run and I don't have to worry about tearing the fabric sole of the shoe! Treads are in perfect condition after having the shoes for 1 year, I would highly recommend!

They look good but dont play well
I have 4 pairs of basketball shoes(3 Nike 1 Jordan,) I still use and these are my least favorite by far i actually had to take 2 weeks off of the court because they squeezed my feet like an old tube of toothpaste while i was trying to break them in; I must have tweaked a muscle in my foot or something. The lunarlon sole is alright(still leaves something to be desired,) but only after you break them in, which takes some time. I bought my true size but the shoe is quite narrow i don't know that what i experienced would be different if i went a half size up. Im giving two stars because overall they still look good and are comfortable enough after being broken in for a game or two, the traction is also fine. There are worse shoes to hoop in. Not a terrible pair for the price but if you want to perform at a higher level for longer times i would recommend one of the many exceptional premium pairs nike offers (PG1&2, Kyrie4, LebronXV, there are others i haven't played in.) You can always just get these to work out in

Very uncomfortable, do not buy
Shoes are very uncomfortable. Have played in them several times but are still not "breaking-in". Sides of feet hurt from the pressure of the inside rubber making it tough to run in these at many points. I've had several pairs of Kobes throughout the years, but this purchase was a complete waste of money, very disappointed. These shoes should not be listed.

As much as I love Kobe... these were a no go
I’ve always been an admirer of Kobe’s shoes and have worn a few in the past. Decided to try out these Mamba sneakers but unfortunately, I did not keep them for long. They’re very nice looking, whether you go with the white and silver look or the black and red. Great outer look but the insides are poorly made. I thought maybe it was because I have a wider foot but my friend who has more of a narrow foot said they were uncomfortable as well. The inside is extremely narrow and almost feels like a hard plastic material. Very little cushion for your arch/sole. I had to return these back to the store. Exchanged them for a pair of Nike casual sneakers. Kobe has been retired for a while now and I think he took all of his good shoe making abilities with him lol never even wore these out! Wore twice in my room to kind of get a feel to them, but in all honesty, the only feeling I had was NO feeling in my feet! Sorry Kobe
Not impressed
Would not recommend the product. Looks great, but has below par traction. After the first day of practice, I was already slipping, and rocks were stuck in the bottom. It also catches lots of dirt which makes the traction terrible. The lining is ripping after the first month. TRASH.

DO NOT BUY THIS
The shoes might look good on the outside but do NOT get fooled. The inside rubber sole is VERY uncomfortable. After the first 2 to 3 weeks the lining was already ripping and tearing.

Hard to wear
I bought these shoes because outside they look amazing but then I put my foot in and it was hard to get it in because of the rubber insole. It was hard to not scrunch my socks because of the grip. They felt really tight and I thought it might have been the break in because my nike size has always been 9, but it never changed. I should have gotten a half size bigger, or a different more comfortable shoe.
