This is definitely subjective.

Depending on your game style, age, weigh etc. As a light-guard/explosive, anything like the LeBrons that emphasis impact protection just slows me down. The lack of court feel scares me when moving laterally etc.

I found the Kobe 4, 5, 8 & 9 perfect. Essentially what you sacrifice in cushioning/impact protection is made up in court feel. The Kyrie line is an extreme in the spectrum. The Kobe and Durant line are a good balance of both. LeBrons are on the other side.

What part of this is subjective if you agree that there’s a sacrifice in cushioning when wearing Kobe’s?

Personally, I've never played in a better shoe than ZKV's. Haven't bought a single new basketball shoe since the OG ZKV's. Still on the hunt for something even remotely comparable.

Just understand they don't ship in bubble wrap. Mine came in and it's in pretty bad shape. Hoping I can find one in stores.

Just FYI, it's not a poster-sized reprint, it’s the same size as the actual cover. It's just printed on better paper and doesn't have the barcode on it. I keep debating whether or not to buy it. Part of me feels like I'd rather get a different Kobe poster/artwork to frame. I don't know that I want to have that Time cover on my wall, seeing it's somber tone and the words Kobe Bryant: 1978-2020 every day. I think I'd rather have something that reminds me of the Mamba the way I want to remember him, doing his thing, and not a daily reminder of his death. I dunno.

I finally got the poster in and framed it. Took some pictures for references on the size.

how about 4, 6 and 8's?

how about 4, 6 and 8's?

They're closer than anything else, but I like those only for casual wear. To be fair I've never tried them on-court but I usually know instantly what I will or won't like.

Previous shoes I've used...
Zoom Jet Flight (Best as I can remember, perfection. RETRO PLEASE!!!!)
OG Team Elite 2 Low (Amazing with double stacked Zoom!)
OG AJ XIX (With insoles, nearly perfect.)
OG Hyperdunk (With insoles were decent, but not my fave.)
OG ZK1 (With insoles, near perfect but a bit heavy.)
OG ZKV (GOAT...Period.)

I hesitated on buying the Chaos V Protro (financially it was the best decision at the time) and then Kobe died a few days later and prices went through the roof. Hoping I can score some at reasonable prices in the future.

Good looks. Yeah sorry, it is a bit larger by a few inches. Definitely the way to go for anyone who wants the Time cover framed.

The framed one is overpriced but I have to get it now

V are better than all of those

wore the 4,5, and 6 religiously

8 were cool but 4, 5, and 6 beat those easily

I bought the frame from Michael's for $10, just do that instead lol

Wtf, all the frames I looked at in Michael's last night were $25+. Also, I was looking for a frame for the magazine which measures 8in by 10.5in, but the frames has a display measuring of 8in by 10in.

I think the poster runs larger than the magazine though. This frame has a display measurement of 11 x 14. Magazine is 8 x 10.5

if you have a hobby lobby near you, their frames are usually 50% of every other week.
