You mean the UConn colorway? I thought that was the colorway that is currently out? Is the jetstream/royal a grey pair or something? The UConn is an OG colorway, as well as the All Star colorway. The others are newer colors.
The jetstream/royal pair I'm referring to is this one. A subtle grey look w/ white and royal details - they got scuffed and beat pretty easily but they were super clean...
If they perform like the OG's I'm sure I can save a spot for them in the rotation, on discount lol. I feel the same way about the white/blk/red pair and the blk/grey pair. I might not wait so long for those if they come out haha
Oh yea, I remember these. Prof K mentioned these in the review and said they were the jetstreams. Wow, I thought the UConns were lol. That's the same material as my OGs, except they were a darker grey. I would definitely cop these if they dropped.
I still see $150 for the USA
Interesting, I'm definitely copping the black/yellow pair now.
For as good as good as my memory is, I think I feel the same about the Kobe 6 midsole as I did about these. The Kobe 6 came with a thicker insole too which took some time to break in -- once it does though, it's money
I also find the 2k4s to be very similar to the 5 but the cushioning is a bit firmer I like the 5 more than the 6 because i had some heel slip in the 6 while the 5 locked me down perfectly. Cushioning wise, the 6 is thicker. If you want more cushion than the 5 than the 6 would be good. Just make sure to lace up tight. I did but the lockdown still wasnt as good as the 5, 2k4, or cfd. The 2k4s are lower to the ground than the kobe 6.
Just forgot...TTS for the leather all star colorway as well??
i went tts on the asg.
Yup
^ What he said haha. Even in the 2012 pair, I went TTS and they fit fine (which was the leather white/purple colorway). I'm actually excited to get a pair of the black and yellow to see if they have the same sock-fit as my OG since it's durabuck. If I love the suede ones this much the durabuck ones are gonna be crazy lol.
if that's the case, I won't mind copping a few more ASGs on sale since they're more comfy from the go. 2k4's will be my new go shoe with the cfd since Lunarlon goes quick in the kobes.
btw i tried on my kobe 6 with thicker socks and the heel slip went away. But i wouldn't wear thicker socks normally with them becuz its a narrower shoe.
Definitely do so if you come across a good deal. If I had heel slip before, it was very minor and probably got better with break in. Plus I'm not the most reliable reference for fit since I get heel slip so often with lows. They're a favorite among many so don't pass on a good deal
Good call! I would cop instantly but now I want to try the durabuck pairs for performance and save the Uconn for casual rocking haha (they're so clean when new!).
