How about comfort? i felt like the h2k4>h2k5 as far as comfort. although not by much. outsole was better on the h2k5..
The outsole didn't bother me on the 2K5. I just felt like the 2K5s were tanks, but I admit I balled the hell outta two pairs (Kobe LA Street Maps and all blacks) and only balled in one pair of 2K4s a fewtimes...

But I will say the straps did suck on both.
 
definitely appreciated! here's a few of my favorite pairs that i own.

I really like the 2k4 feel, more so because of the full length zoom, but the strap is pretty weak. I've grown to like shoes with straps (ie LebronIV's) because of the lock down feel. the 2k4's cushioning is sooo soft, it feels like youre playin with pillows on your feet. The sz 9's I justpicked up are too big but I'd like to try to find some 8.5's. They're worth it!!!

hate to burst your bubble, but the 2k4 are far from Full Lenth zoom, infact they barely have forfoot zoom (small zoom back under the bigtoe of your foot) theseshoes are good, they were my fav shoes till the AZK1 came out...
 
^^^its so funny how everyone thinks up the 2k4s because they are widely loved. i personally didnt really like them.
 
^^ Same here.. I mean I like them and all and they are good shoes, BUT nothin that great..

BB1>2k4 ANYDAY!

yeah i have those white street map of LA pairs and then the black/purple kobe pair. Love the white maps, i don't even ball in them, just rock themcasually.
 
you definetly have to wear socks that will rise above the strap, but I found the strap to be acceptable.

How about appreciation for the 2k4 Metals? Probably the sleekest looking cleats when worn in the right fashion.
 
I balled in 2k4s and there are a lot of other bball shoes I think are better... zoom 2k3, air max elite, hyperdunk
 
I missed out on the 2K4's when they first came out. My first pair of Huarache's were the 2K5. I remember reading this thread a week or 2 ago while Iwas on holidays in London UK. What was funny was I walked into a TK Maxx in Hammersmith (TJ maxx/Winners for us north americans) later that day and I found mea pair of 2K4's Black/Grey in my size (8.5) for 30 pounds (I think approx $50 Cdn). There were also a few pairs of 2K5's in the laker colorway in size12 and 13 for 30 pounds.

Can't wait to try these out.
 
The 2K4's has to be considered one of Nike's best b-ball shoes ever made in my opinion. I still love hoopingin mines!!
