the more crease a shoe has, the less lockdown it REALLY gives you. multiple flexing points means less coverage on your foot when
you're moving.

so the type of creasing is important. don't blow this off like it isn't.

Good to know man. That is going to turn off a lot of casual wearers.

Better get some wearable shoe trees.

I'm actually looking forward to the traction on these. V and VI didn't cut it for me, but maybe the gym floors were dirty or I didn't break them in yet. Any case, if it's gonna be like the IV or hopefully better =

Improved heel lockdown, responsiveness, breatheability, and excellent traction, VII = GOAT. *crosses fingers*

 let's hope you're right (about GOAT)

i want the lockdown of the V's

i want the breathability of the VI's

i want the traction of the IV's

i want the responsiveness of the V's

Traction is very important. I used to remember tripping or stumbling on carpet while walking to the Bball court at the gym. Or hearing that screech like that Nike song with the balls bouncing and screeching

personally i think the 5s had better traction....well at least the 5 rings that has been my go to shoe. (is it the clear soles, i remember people saying that clear soles have good traction)

I agree with the V being better than the VI traction wise. The V Away is my go to shoe and regarding the clear soles, I have a pair of ID's with clear soles and the traction is subpar to GRs.

That's how often Dwade applies it.


Only one application per game will do. Anything more than that is like taking a sugar pill.....you may think it really helps, but its actually not helping you anymore. The only thing its helping is putting your mind at ease to make you feel reassured.

I prefer the traction on the VI over the V (the IV's didn't feel right on my narrow foot so I never got them). Clear soles are better. I played in my POPs V's Sunday & my Duke VI's Tuesday. Big difference in traction to me. I think the traction on the VII's will be better than both.

That's a crease, it's very visible. We don't know how long/much he balled in them, but still, that's pretty crazy for a pair of shoes. Must be weak material, and since there is no tongue to support it, I can see it happening fairly easy.

[kobeoverbron]

yeah, break in your shoes outdoors first. the traction would be fantastic right after.

traction of the 6>>5. it also took longer to break in the 5's traction.

The creasing talk is getting a little out of hand. You guys act like these are some crapy retro Jordan's or something
