Still waiting..... Ok, Del Sols are a maybe, but nothing stands out.

I have all of the IV's with Laker cw's and Finals. Those are the best basketball shoes I've ever had. But anyone who says that the V's are"fire" is just lying to themself. They don't compare. I'm psyched for the 4 Rings and Gradients.

I really almost thought these were the IV's they hardly look updated. almost like a scrapped or a hybrid version of the IV's. But with that assasinsymbol on them they will sell...

i like the looks of the Vs....they are said to be lighter and more comfortable than the 4s....and they remind me of the 2k4s....which are in mytop 5 of all-time.....

 

[shoehd]

these look even lower cut than the zk4, but im excited to see these in person

Good stuff Keon! I'm definitely going to put in work on these.

IMO Kobe V > Lebron VII

Agreed.

 

[jordan vs magic]

^ I think LeBron got Kobe beat this year shoe wise.

 

[jordan vs magic]

Any type of release dates yet? Kobe will most likely bust em out on Christmas correct?

agreed

 

[moneymike9]

I like em.

I'm definitely getting the homes and the delsol's.

The delsol's would've looked better without the speckles though, imo.

Hopefully, they'd release an inline colorway as well.

This Kobe vs. Lebron thing is this generation's Air Jordans vs. Barkley's signature kicks. I myself like to see a designer try to createthe most lightweight shoe possible without sacrificing cushioning and fit, so I'm biased towards the Kobes. Which is not to say that AP wasn't thinkingof those elements when designing the new Lebrons; it's just that Lebron is a big guy and needs the Air Max 360 cushioning. Plus, it makes the midsole glowwhich is a plus, aesthetically speaking. I just like the stripped-down, lean & mean Kobes more.

I want to see the Kobe V in an all black colorway like in that sample some guy posted awhile back (not like that black/graphite/blue shoe).

 

[khadafi252]

looks alot like a trainer. i never bought the kobe IV's but i've heard great things about performance and fit. maybe i'll try a pair of these. theyseem so frail, though.

We haven't even seen the actual shoe

A lebron shoe out-performing a Kobe shoe?..... Unheard of.... Kobe will always take the cake when it comes toperformance. Lebrons are dope don't get me wrong (I have a lot of lebrons)... But he really hasn't had a hit since the IVs. The 5s were dull andboring. The VIs look like a boot and too bulky and they're still sitting on shelves and the pairs that were sold, were "limited". The VIIs arenice, but looks wise, Kobe takes it this year again. *** Keep in mind.... We haven't "Really" scratched the surface on the ZK5. Catalog pics isone thing But Wait till we Actually see them in person and try them on... A completely different story.

 

[stokesey]

Those inlines and del-sols above look a hell of a lot better than tha actual releases a couple of pages back

 

[regal black]

Not feeling the V, maybe I just need to see them in person. I'm feeling the LeBron VII though

 

[mourf83]

the CWs dont dot it for me yet, seems like we ll have to wait the VI to see some innovation

 

[airforce1s]

really really liking these. full length zoom air could make these the best performing shoe in the line

 

[dlee2703]

is footlocker going to be the only store to sell the V's?

 

[frenchblue23]

Only a home and away edition for me, because I'm expecting Nike to release 50 to 100 colorways.

you never know... the IVs did well. other chains may be interested. a lot of urban stores carried them also.
