Kobe 5 or 6

V is still the best for me.

best court feel and lockdown.

for me, the 5s are definitely better in terms of heel lockdown as well as the cushioning around the ankle.  the kobe 6 padding around the ankle area is way too thin in my opinion

it's good to play in the zk5 but not for prolonged periods.
your feet will start to feel pain/knees/back.

6 provide more cushioning which is much appreciated.

How much longer does the Kobe VI's cushioning last compared to the Kobe V.  This was my biggest complaint about them.  The Kobe IV was actually great, and although the Lunar lost it's bounce and firmness, it still provides decent cushioning and impact protection.  The Kobe V just got too thin and causes too much burning in my back and knees because of the thin phylon.  The Zoom is still in tact in both the heel and forefoot, but because the Phylon is so thin it just doesn't protect me well enough.  I've heard and read that the Phylon is thicker in the VI, so I would like to try them when they go on discount at the Nike Outlets.  In the meantime, I will be in my Jordan 2010's with full-length Zoom until then
