overlooked?

these were on sale last time they were released

I actually bought them on RD in the AM when these came out on 05

, I expected a crap load of people but I was the only one. The year before the black/red xiii's was pretty hype as well. These shoes are definitely underrated, they are super nice imo and comfortable as well

If you're buying these, buy in person at the store to pick out a pair with minimal glue stains.

I would say these run about a 1/4 size larger than true to size. I wear an 8.5 in Air Maxes and got an 8 in these. They feel a little snug but very wearable and probably better than the 8.5 which would be a smidge too large. These are like a 8.2. That is my perspective on the sizing.

Oh yeah, the yellow shield looks awesome in person, probably the best part of the shoe.

Graphites are nubuck 

Is the toebox on these stiff at all? From what I've seen in vids it looks very hard-+#!.

I'll take the Kobe's but it's personal preference, hard to conmpare a low top vs mid top.

agree. i think kobe's would be a better shoe to ball in. Kobe's are very light and flexible.

May have to cop these when they go on sale. I just don't like that new material that they used for the toebox. It's too stiff. I was so content with my 05's until as I was putting them away recently, I noticed that those finger thingies on my pair's toebox are starting to peel.

Dunno if it's just my feet
, but does the new sock liner material pull down your socks like it did with the 05's?

[raptors29]

So the consensus is the new ones are better quality than the 2005s?

These are sold out on Eastbay.
NDC has scattered sizes with the biggest size being a 12 now.

[rafabio]

They are still on FiinshLine in a decent variety of sizes. NBA.com has only limited sizes now. I guess the people who were disappointed in not getting the Concords are starting to snap these up. I prefer them to the Concords though. Space Jam is my favourite XI by far...then black/red, then the Concords.
