 Honestly?

yes. i say my pair is fairly broken in. too be honest, i didn't like them at first cause i was so used to the V's and they weren't broken in. they're PERFECT now. the shoe really molds to your food. that aint no damn gimmick 

 (like i thought it was) they feel incredible 
i experienced heal slippage at first as well, now if i tie them up loosely, my heal doesn't slip.

About how long did it take you to break in? I am somewhat experiencing heal slippage.. but it helps a lot if I use the 2 top lace holes and tie them tighter....
I haven't used these for ball yet as I'm still with the Vs, but all my VI's has been used casually so far...

2-3 games.
i tied them up pretty tight while breaking them in. now i don't have to do it as tight and my foot doesn't fall asleep anymore 

i use the last lace holes btw..

they have that lace hole for a reason. i mean people who dont lace them up all the way and then complain about heel slippage/sprained ankles/etc are just morons. not calling u a moron but just i love it when i see people not lacing up all the way in the IVs at my gym and then getting their ankles broke rofl

Easy because they are ugly! Imo I got plenty of money but none of it is going towards those.

One question ...

Why are all the good colorways for this shoe limited ?

The OC,griniches,rice/maybe,3D,and all star game colorways are all limited releases and i don't get why

This is going to be my first pair of kobes so i haven't been following this line that much but is this a normal thing for kobe releases ?

I honestly believe if the Grinches, 3Ds and OCs were general releases not as many people would like them.  They would probably end up in every outlet.
Havent you seen the pattern, Nike/Jordan usually makes the most out there/wackest colorway quickstrikes or super limited. Thats smart business.

this happens because of hypebeasts. hyping up funky colourways. that's all...
but, there are a few people out there who actually do like the colourways. unfortunately, some of those people prob won't get their hands on a pair cause of resellers

been sayin this from jump...but there's too many d riders out there in denial...haha

 

[jdxfactor]

Hey guys, newbie here! haha

anyway, i'm having a conflict on choosing which ZKVis to get. It's either the Concords or the Breds... I can only choose one, since I don't have much money to spend on shoes (College student here, haha)..

I'm already leaning towards the concords. They're clean and all, but I have yet to see the breds in person...

what do you think, guys?

 

[s dubl]

Grinches are hot. 3Ds are dope too, I just know I would never wear them. OCs could have been hot if the heel wasnt black. LAs are nice, wouldnt have gotten a pair if it was anywhere close to difficult to get a pair.

IMO best colorway so far is Del Sols by far. Concords could have been better if the heel and tongue were white leather rather than that pearlized crap. Still far from ugly.


anyway....had these for about a week, just too sick to snap a pic

thanks T!!!

cant wait till the summer....these and an LA fitted

Get the concords there better looking and cleaner the breds are ugly IMO 

 

[biltz]

I've been checking out this thread since Xmas but only just got approved. Thanks for all the info and pics you guys are awesome

So far I've managed to scoop Grinches from my local store and East La's off Eastbay. Looking forward to the 3Ds and the Rices. Its kinda hard living in NZ as we dont get many releases (just the Grinches, Del Sols and concords so far) but some sizes of Grinch's & Cool Grey 11s etc are still sitting on shelves so there are some benefits.

Im crossing my fingers for Eastbay to be stocking 3Ds - Hopefully I can click fast enough...

 

[mjrod1985]

Nice E.LA's s dubl!

Happy for a size 13 head to grab a pair.. 
Welcome to NT Blitz from NZ! What's the retail for Kobes over there?

Del Sols >> Concord >> BREDs

but the BREDs are not ugly! Way better than what we got last year (VDays)..

 

[s dubl]

thanks Rod! being a sz 13 is a ++#*# at times

Biltz...welcome!

 

[Melo4deuce]

Clean pick of those LA's up there. My pair should be coming in tomorrow. I'm thinking about rocking them at my work later this week, the nursing staff is gonna flip
