OFFICIAL: NIKE ZOOM KOBE VI THREAD: ((NO BUYING/SELLING/TRADING!))

Jordan had tons of help too. And Kobe was just as big a part of the team as Shaq. If Kobe wasn't there, they wouldn't have won. Shaq is just lucky enough to be placed on with great guards.. like Penny, Kobe, Wade, Bron.. even Nash.
So don't give me that Shaq mess... and Kobe was always bailing them out of games, like that double OT game vs. portland as the perfect example... who was gonna make those deep shots from H-E- Double Hocket Sticks like Kobe???.... I'll wait..

Kobe put as much work in as Shaq... and he came into his own after the 2nd Title.

And I'll take another shoe like the 2
  

 

i've said this time and time again to my friends... no player has done it/can do it on his own. kobe couldn't do it without shaq, and shaq couldn't do it without kobe.

shaq needed wade to win another ring as well..

lebron can't even do it.. he tried a few years ago and got swept. this year he's def not going to win a championship even though he has shaq.

 

I thought this thread was about the VIs.. I guess I was mistaken.

 

MJ got help the latter part of his career. His first couple of seasons he was carrying them until they built a good team around him. During the lakers dynasty Shaq was the more important player,even in the finals he was the one that won them those titles and was the MVP of EVERY title.No knock on Kobe because he is one of the greatest ever but at that time he was like pippen and Shaq was the star like Jordan. You can't just say Shaq was "lucky" to play with great guards because he was a Dominant player back the and he elevated Kobe and Dwyanes' game. If you think he was "lucky" than you also probably think that Phil Jackson was "lucky" to play with great players so don't give me that "lucky" mess. So to me Kobe isn't the GOAT just yet.
As for the  shoes, I'll say again that a great idea would be to have a removable strap around your ankle sort of like the air Jordan XX but it would go all around your ankle and could be a mid or a low top if you want
 

 

^ ya i wouldn't mind an ankle strap.

 

Mids would be great, but I dont think they are going to happen

 

Personally, I think they should do both a low and a mid; like the Lebron 7, but WAYYYYYYYY better.
Those low versions are WEAK

 

^ yeah but the lows with the max air are DOPE.
They never seem to get the Lebron lows right for some reason.

 

sample pics?


pics from hoopchina

 

^^yep

 

interesting...

whats that say at the bottom "Nike Slade traction" ???

good look out on the pics. of course i always wait to see a full clear pic and the actual shoe in person.

I wonder what the tech will be.

Maybe an optional strap like the LBJ 2's or the extra ankle brace with the Melo 5's? that would be an interesting idea.

 

HMMMMMMMMM

 

they look a little more cut on the ankle, but higher off the ground.. or is that just me/the angle of the pic.

they look okay in terms of shape. i doubt they'll look anything like it.

looks like they still got flywire there and zoom in the forefoot...

 

I'll wait for final--and I do mean FINAL--version pictures to surface before I comment on whether or not I like them.

 

it has some resemblances with the V's..

 

hmmm very interesting pic, im interested in seeing more.

 

^it looks gilIIzero for me.

 

Hmmm.....
I wonder what that "Slade Traction" is all about.

 

^ Those are the Dream Season II's

 

are they samples of the dream season?

 

those aren't bad...

 

Why are sample pics always of the %#*@#[email protected]!* quality?

 

i like how they continued the flywire panel and didn't cut off the nike swoosh like the Vs....looking forward to seeing the real ones...

 

Nah, those aren't the Dream Season 2. The outsole looks totally different.
