OFFICIAL: NIKE KD VI - "WTKD" 6/14

[thefreshlife]

Picked these up today for retail at a certain known Nike retailer (not a mom and pop). I'm not sure if homegirl didn't know that they don't release for 2 weeks or didn't care. But they were on the shelf so I copped and asked no questions. Actually I asked if I could buy more than 1 and she said no but she said if i come back i can get more.

I'm very pleased.

I'll take more pics after work.

They look pretty nice, but not something I could wear. I don't think I own any green shoes lol.

my first and probably only pair of VI's.  definitely a strange shoe, and i haven't been a fan of the silhouette, its just something about this colorway i really like the way they look.

I asked JM last week and be said 10/19/13. Speaking of JM and release dates, JM do you have release information on the grey/mint/black and orange/green glows

I played 8-10 games in them and can't wait to get back on court with them.

Of course people have different preferences, but I thought the traction was great after wiping.  I have to wipe every shoe I have where I play, from Adidas Rose 3's to Nike Hyperdunks to CP3 VI's.

I didn't have any problems with fit or support and felt completely secure for the entire time I played in them.  I felt confident moving full speed in all directions.  But I'm used to playing in lows and would take a good low over a good mid any day of the week.

Now I do think there is room for improvement, but it would be a tradeoff.  This shoe to me is built for speed and cushioning, it's ultra-minimal with forefoot and heel air.  So you get a shoe that acts like a second skin with solid cushioning throughout.  The tongue is super thin and the laces are going to dig in eventually, but that won't happen for several games at least.  That also happens with every shoe I have, it's bound to happen when playing 3-4 hours at a time.

Yup, same observations here.Early this year, I've been playing in the Vs, and there is a noticeable difference between them and the VI. Not sure if it's just me, but I noticed a better forefoot response with the VI, better lateral movements like you're not wearing a shoe at all. I once slipped up because of a miscalculated jump so I stepped my left leg backward and the zoom was able to absorb the impact.Overall, I prefer playing in the VI. I sometimes play 3 or 4 on the court.Imho, the only KD line that has a better lockdown on it is the II's.

Thanks for the info. Wish they would release more than 1 Pair a month though.

Who the hell is "JM"?

The guy with all the inside info.

These fit a little narrow in the toebox for me while the Vs are a little tighter in the forefoot before breaking them in.

Gotcha

For $140 ($180 in australia) performance wise it's not there. Kd should keep them under 100 if its just about the looks. Atleast kobe's 8 perform we'll and look good

All I know is that if I see info coming from JM this GIF immediately comes to mind:

I tried on my i.d. Kd vi yeezy and I like how they look. Other than that, the shoe feels very plasticky and flimsy

 

[crh1979]

Put it in your signature my man.

 

[ziggybubbles]

I wore my kd vi for 2 hrs today and they have a horizontal crease across from the toe swoosh....should I wear thicker socks to get rid of this crease? It doesn't come from foot flection because I can't walk at all. Also, the all black kd is hot as hell in the sun.

 

[denksss]

try stuffing them with a sock after you wear them

I always read stories like these on here and wonder how I never luck out like this.
Nt has the luckiest dudes around.

So nike releasing these on a Friday and Thursday? I'm not with these weekday releases well at least until I finally get my license.

Oddly enough I didn't even look at what those days actually were on the Calendar. Just saw the dates on my release schedule. Nike has been doing some odd things of late. Two new AF 1's colorways had release dates for today, Sunday. Kinda odd I think...
