    Got my grey/university blue and the durabuck feels stiffer than the asg upper. The asg's were comfy from the start and no break in time needed. How long is the break in time for the durabuck? and is the durabuck more durable vs the leather?

    Good question, I'd be curious to find out myself. I'm going to have to get a durabuck pair once they go for a cheaper price soon. I would guess the leather would last longer.

    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.

    Agreed, tho I am eager to try the Crazy Explosive (with all the good press it has been getting). I'm so glad these are trustworthy tho and like the originals. Started to lose hope for a second lol...

    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.

    Nice I still really want a pair just to try, especially since I loved the Kobe V so much

    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!).

    I have the uconn color way and love them! Only tried them on, brought them to ball in but wasn't sure, but after reading Everybodies reviews I think it's a must now lol

    Do the uconn's use the same nubuck as the wolf grey and black/yellows? I prefer the leather on the asg

    ^^ Actually no, they use suede, which is you want to stay away from for performance. My Uconns are amazing still, but they're not as snug fitting as my durabuck ones because suede isn't form fitting on basketball shoes. I remember reading that they actually stopped producing the suede ones, which is why I think the Uconns were the only ones made with suede (at least released publicly)

    i actually put my wolf greys up on ebay becuz i dont like the upper as much as the asg. Does suede not hold up in hoop shoes?

    Hmm I'm not sure then. I know the upper of my OGs should be the same as the pair you put on eBay. I'll have to try a pair on now at he store to see, but yea, my Uconns aren't AS snug 04s but they're still my favorite shoes to ball in. They allow a little movement within the shoe so I just have to tie them a little tighter now that the upper has broken in.
