I grabbed a pair from Eastbay on release day. Mine are all black with small touches of grey on them. Was a bit skeptical of the "unlocked zoom" and flight plate with no air cushioning in the heel at all as I dont own XX8's. These are awesome to play in. Comfy straight out of the box and the cushioning is responsive. Definately nothing special to look at but great for playing in. I have been messing around with some ID's online but havent found a combination that has made me want to pull the trigger. My favourite shoe to play in is the Lebron X elite but this is a very close second. Makes me want to try the XX8'S and see if the unlocked zoom together with a zoom air bag in the heel would feel even better.
