The purpose of a ortho insole is so you can wear your custom orthotics like Kobe does

Are all the non sport enabled soles ridged like the BHM? First time I've seen them and seems like they would feel funny.

I hope they aren't only getting the "enabled" verison, I don't feel like spending that extra money for something I will never use. If that's the case I will be having to shop someplace else.

Anyone else get pain in their calves/right under their calves after playing in Lunar based shoes for a long time?
When I take a long run in my Lunar eclipse (8-10 miles), i get soreness and tiredness in my calves and area just below.
When I do the same in some Zoom or Air based shoes with phylon, no pain.
When I play in my Kobe 8's or Hyperdunk 2012 for 1-2 hours straight, same pain.
When I play in Kobe V's, no pain.
Just wondering if anyone else had the same problem with the Kobe 8 or other lunar cushioned shoes. Maybe its just me.

Are you talking about pain or soreness? Prob just means you're doing more forefoot running so that's why there's soreness right under your calves.

I play in my bhm's and the heel cup is squeezing my right ankle resulting in an annoying pain. It's hard to run! Anyone else experiencing this? I tried loosening the laces and I stretched the cup some with my fingers which alieved the pain some. Really disappointed because the left fits like a glove, and minus that these are shaping up to be my favorite hooping shoe ever. It's like they have everything that made the V great but with better court feel and grip! Amazing!

More of a soreness actually. Good point.
If the Kobe's werent so comfortable otherwise I would have moved to another shoe. Problem is, it's still leaps and bounds better than the other current shoes in terms of light weight and flexible.

i didn't have that specific problem, but i did find my right foot felt completely different than my left in terms of comfort.

Reds and Volts are a must for me. The pics of the reds ive seen on IG make the red sole and lining pop. The silver heel clip, lace eyelets and splattered swoosh are nice as well.

An alternative to Lunarlon soles for you would be to try and get the Jordan 2012 pack with the 3 different soles, I've seen them at the outlets but not a lot of them and use those soles instead of the Lunarlon. I've used Fly Around and Fly over soles (Zoom air and reg. Air) for the Kobe's, there's a slight loss of court feel but structurally, it's much better than Lunarlon if you need more stable cushioning. I switch between the 3 soles when wearing the Kobe's depending on my mood or ankle injuries.
Maybe it'll help with your calf problem.

Probably just like Nike frees are made, make you use more ankle, muscles you're not used to. Happening in hyperdunks is strange though. Try diff socks?

I've waited to get the pythons. And my footlocker guy says my store is on their last few pairs. So I was wondering how much success you guys have had in stacking coupons. Like the bday and survey coupon

apparently FTL calling the teals releasing this saturday the supernaturals? 0.o these nicknames are getting annoying, mostly due to the reason that they keep changing them...
