Both are dope, just need a 2nd opinion. Which has more appeal?
If you're going to do mostly casual, then Brave Blues will work better on a daily basis. Sometimes you just don't feel like wearing purples shoes. If it's for ball, depends which cut you like better. Just look back at all the brave blue on feet pics and see how you feel.
 
 
For sure. Snakeskin seen on the new official images sealed the deal. The only reason they wouldn't is if people don't know the release date was moved up.
They'll sell out eventually, for sure. Could be quick too, I guess. The brave blue are a way more practical/wearable CW imo, but they have been sitting. Sometimes wild CW's sell out faster.
I got the hero elites. Should I pick up the moonwalkers or the brave blues? Both are at my job
I like the Brave Blues way more CW wise, and I am a personal fan of the high, but a low is more practical. Just don't care for the purple.
 
will the restored sell out

These will not sell out. I have seen them in person, and not only are the colors a weird mix, but the materials (specifically the black snakeskin part around the ankle) look extremely cheap. Once people get these in the mail, or see them in store, minds will be changed. I was never crazy about them to start with, but after holding them and seeing the final product, I can confirm they are a waste of materials.
 
Woonwalkers or Brave blues....... tough call honestly. I'm a laker fan so the purple is a must. If your looking for performance brave blues. Aesthetically I would go with the moonwalkers. I think people will regret missing out on the moonwalkers down the road.

Agreed, especially for Lakers/MJ fans. I passed on them when they released but a couple months later picked them up. Although truthfully, if they were just purple without the moon graphic on the sole, I don't think I would have wanted them as much.
 
For those complaining about Nike referring to the "Victory" as the "Restored", I don't get it. They did the same thing by calling the "Legacy" the "Brave Blue", and no one said a peep.
 
 
What's up pimps!

Today my Legacy's came in the mail. Here are some photos of them in the sunshine, start out the huge box! Good luck to those copping the Victory/Restored tomorrow.
This pic is great. Looks like you have some divine light hitting them. Should be picking up mine today. Can't wait.

Legacy came in from the Lithuania site. Really nice shade of blue. Thought it would be lighter like some pics but just right in person. One complaint is that the Shozoku isn't metallic like the Swoosh. Will wear them for my daily shoot-arounds tomorrow morning. The height will keep my achilles area warm from the cold morning :lol:.

I kind of regret passing on them, but more from the obsessive collector in me reacting to FK low family shots.

The real surprise to me was how much I like the Thrillers. I know some people hated the laces and the GITD hits, but I think they are one of my favorites, period.

Brave blues should be here soon from Kobe's slowpoke site. Can't wait to see them.

Best thing you can do for your photos is give them LIGHT! And yes, Divine at that!

Thanks for the kind words.

Also got the flash on.

amen bro! Let's us know of the performance on the hardwood.

The blue is really dope on these! 

I thought the sole was grey. Too my surprise, it is white. Ol School Lakers CW. 
 
Mine are coming from Lithuania tonight as well, was at Foot Locker last night and took a look at them in-hand, definitely excited to get them.
 
How long till they put a white upper option on the Elite Low iDs?
I rarely buy white shoes, despite the fact I sometimes like them. I think I have 4 pairs out of all my shoes. One reason is I mostly wear raw denim, and they "crock" the top of the shoe. White flyknit would be ruined in like, 1 minute. Even if I wore different jeans, I would guess keeping white FK's clean would be a nightmare.
