I still love the VI and I am going to pick up another pair this weekend. With the V, the problem was the upper and midsole coming apart from each other. That was a failure of the joining method (looked like some kind of hidden stitching, plus maybe a little glue), and it happened easily and...

I have not ripped the upper, that part seems to be holding up fine. But I have torn the midsole. Check out the outer part of the midsole on my soon-to-be-exchanged del sols. Shoes lasted about two months of playing 2-3x per week before ripping. Still, way better than the V for both performance...

my foot is low arch, a bit more than medium width, by the way.

I would say about the same through the midfoot and forefoot. slightly narrower at the heel. overall fit is as good or better than the V...in other words, better than great.

OK, not so perfect. My second pair ripped after only two sessions of balling. Boo hoo. Good while they lasted, though. If you live next door to a niketown, keep going for these. if it take you more than 30 minutes to get to one, though, get something else. unless you are looking for an excuse to...

One the problems I had with the VII was the lack of outrigger. When combined with the high ride of the max air, the shoe felt "tippy" to me and I never felt very confident. I noticed that the VIII has what appears to be a small outrigger...can you please comment on what effect, if any, you...

my del sols fell apart after about two months of play (rip on the lateral part of the midfoot, where the skinwire and the midsole come apart). took them back to niketown for a different colorway. Can't wait to beat these new ones up until they fall apart so I can get something new again. While...

take the shoe and flex it repeatedly at the forefoot. make sure it is super flexible, there should actually be a cracking sound (not the plate, but the rubber on mine actually made a popping sound). After doing this before the first wear, the shoe was perfect with no break in. And I usually need...

just make sure to bring a backup pair in your gym bag so you don't have to go straight home on the day that they rip.
