I'm sure they were confused... didn't u get some crazy info from them about the vapormax ids? Wouldn't rely on them for any upcoming releases... they know as much as us

these derozans sold out on release day.. whats going on with em? i didn't even expect footlocker would let you use coupons on em
 
My DeRozans got cancelled after it said I got em on SNKRS app release day....then I saw em at local HoH 2 weeks ago so, idk
 
Tempted by the reds for $83 on Nike clearance

but I might just wait for the triple blacks to go on sale

Still a couple months before we should see a new Kobe, but thus far IMO the 'quintessential' ADs would seem to be Ruthless Precision, Oregon, Compton, and the Next Up NXT.  Would be curious what others have.  I would add Time To Shine if they ever released.

what do you like about the oregons? Too loud for me 

I like the ruthless precision and comptons out of the general releases. If we are counting iDs then the bhm and the premium iD in a blackout colorway. And I also like the time to shine as well as the upcoming white/golds

Same here. The Oregon pair is too loud and green for me. I have the CPT pair and I love that color way. Prob my fav pair of AD.

Was also able to grab the Black and the Blue Navy pair for the low.
 
I also like the flip the switch and blackouts as well

my ranking

1. premium blackout iD 

2. white/gold iD

3. compton 

4. time to shine 

5. bhm 

6. flip the switch 

7. ruthless precision 

8. blackout
 
I got Oregons in the top 5 cw's. I absolutely love that pair. I just wish they weren't associated with Oregon since I'm a Washington fan. Hard to make a top 5 with these because I like the basic colorways as well (blk/white, navy/white)

1) Compton

2) BHM

3) Precision

4) Oregon

5) Blk/White

Just off the top of the head, the only pairs really stuck up in the top 5 are bhm and comptons

for some reason some of the pics online if you search kobe ad oregon, show a similar shoe but it looks volt/lime green instead of yellow.. the logo on the back has a duck too instead of the O logo.. not sure what those are 

looking at the oregon kobe ad again it is pretty cool I just don't like the yellow midsole

If you are referring to these, they were PEs for the Oregon Men's basketball team.

I've been pretty tough on the AD, but this may be the best GR AD to release.  The 11 Black Space was just off.  This 'Black Mamba' AD is nailing it.  There are some nice details on this shoe for a triple black kinda colorway.

Oh I see. Yeah that's what I was looking at. Thought maybe the other person saw those as well

which details are you liking on this pair? This pair can be iDed can't it?

And yeah, with the 11 black space, the outsole just looked odd to me on. was too bluish imo.
