That's just nightwings opinion though he thinks the Kobe 11 doesn't stick, it does for me. Prb depends on the court

Good luck bro. Personally I went and ordered mine and had to pay $80 extra for the tax. I should be getting mine tomorrow or the next day.

I'm sure there are a lot of different variables as far as how shoe performance...depends on the individual size, playing style, court conditions, etc.
I played in them twice...once in a rec league game on a pretty well maintained floor, and another time on a dusty LA Fitness court. Of course there were no issues on the clean court, but at LA Fitness I felt like the shoes were picking up dust quite frequently and required constant wiping.
The traction pattern on the Soldiers has those little nubs like on the Kobe AD except the material on here feels much stiffer, and don't seem to bite the court as well...could just mean it requires some break in time.

Just like the Cavs being down 0-2 I'm not quite ready to give up on this shoe just yet...
I ordered the white ones because I could not find the prototypes. should be here soon. I've been only balling in Adidas for a while now, low tops at that. interested to see how these are. worst case scenario I'll just use them for my upcoming plyometric workouts I'll be doing twice a week.

Had no idea they are so hard to find. Try eBay. I saw some going for slightly above retail.

Those have loops as well. Not a fan of that color though. Especially with that gold glitter on the translucent sole.

Just received this today. Kudos to ndc for not forgetting bout king James fan in asia.
First impression:
*suede part is buttery smooth. Smother than what I had expected. But I doubt this is real suede since everything is so uniform.
*strap function is top notch. I really feel like my feet and the shoes are magnetized on. They are also easy to put on and pull off unlike regular laces shoes. I really love this tech / shoes. And the loop part made quite a difference as well. If there comes a day when I need to move and run fast, this will no doubt be the shoes I'd wear.
*the Nike swoosh and lebron logo on the soles are painted on and there's a few slops. But other than that, id rate these 9.5 / 10.

tried on the court generals last night & for some odd reason its harder to put on the "court generals" vs the "prototype", i had no problem putting on the prototypes with my stance nba socks but for the court general i was having a hard time putting them on & i was wearing a very thin socks too!...

So I gave these another try this morning....
I mentioned in a previous post that I had issues with the lock down and the traction initially. I thought about it some more and it's not that the lock down is bad because it's not, but more of the fact that I like that fit you get when you tie your laces extra tight...which isn't really possible with the strap system. As far as the traction is concerned it bit the floor a little harder today, still not great but pretty decent. The floors at LA Fitness were swept this morning and we were the first ones playing so didn't have to deal with a lot of dust, and I also made sure to wipe after every game.
Overall, a much better experience than the first time around. I'm actually looking forward to playing in them again.

Your feet are usually bigger /more swollen at night than they are in the morning as the blood flows more when you get up and do your activities. This might be the reason.

LOL i tried on the court generals after work & time was almost the same when i tried on prototypes, the store is legit 20mins away from my work. i feel the court generals was tighter or maybe it was just the pair i grabbed.

I see.
Maybe after a while the shoes will break in and will fit better.

LOL yeah I know it's nowhere near being a good review but I've been keeping an eye out on YT and this is the first completed one I've come across. Worst case it's good for a few laughs [emoji]128514[/emoji]
