I’d decided that I was going to buy a pair of them once I got the money. Finally Christmas rolled around and I ended up with $165. I started looking for a new pair of shoes and by then the 10th generation of the Kobes came out. I really liked those also. Eventually I found ones that were very similar to the pink and black Kobe 9s I love(ed) so much. They were at Champs for $160 from

Have you ever had many friends that were wealthier than you?
