OFFICIAL: NIKE ZOOM KOBE VII THREAD (ELITE $200!: CounterKicks.com)

Maybe not at these price points but when they go on sale or hit outlets. That just my opinion.

+1 to all this. I know a number of people who loved the Vs and passed on the VIs simply because they thought the scales were too funky. I think the simpler design on the lines/diamonds on the VIIs are a lot easier to swallow for the average consumer/sneakerhead. Obviously looks are subjective, but unless you're a big Kobe fan or sneakerhead, I think scales are a tougher sell.

That's exactly why I don't have any pairs of the 6s, and I have a total of five pairs between the 4s and 5s. I didn't like the scales at all. The only pairs I liked were the Grinchs and the Rices, because I liked how it really looked like a snake with the green. But even then though, I still wouldn't cop.
