So far the only PDF I can tolerate is the mint one. Not much coming soon in terms of must have cws, but who knows there could be a random surprise around the corner.

yes your collection WILL GROW no question.
On another note this cheetah is killing my right foot right now.. had to give it a break for a few minutes or so.

Just got a pair of the Dukes, first pair of Kobes. Just wondering what the most effective way to clean the shoe is and also where I can get some Kobe socks.

I just wonder if the slower sales are affecting colorways. I mean where are the dark knights, chaos, rice etc?

I think nike cut back on colorways from the start. With the shorter season and the amount of colorways they did with the vi that didn't sell, it makes sense. There arent even tb colorways yet, and I'm pretty sure they were out already when the vi was this far along.

I think this is the reason why I always miss out. I live in Miami, which is super far from the NDC severs.Originally Posted by Commander0Zero
Chrome has nothing to do with it the ones that copped are the ones that are geographically closer to the servers. Which you probably are and just don't know it. Still it's luck cause you have to beat out alot of others in your area.Originally Posted by nike4KJA05
Got mine.Google Chrome FTW.

I don't even think it's the colorways, it's the fact that the shoe is not that comfortable compared to previous models or when people first try these on, they feel really snug, cardboard like and no comfort straight out the box. The snug tongue IMO is killing this shoe, they should have just went with a standard tongue and an insole that didn't rise up as high
As big of a fan of Kobe as I am, at some point you have to look at the comfort level of the shoe and decide whether these shoes are worth buying or not. Sure they may or may not break in for everyone but the initial wearing or initial impression says a lot. There are plenty of shoes that fit or feel snug but it's a comfortable snug feeling, the Kobe 7s on the other hand feels like they are cutting off blood circulation to the foot. If these were performance monsters like in the past, no doubt they would be selling much better

I have to disagree. The navy on the sharks is what broke the deal for me partly. Idk, I feel I can toss on a navy fitted with some black shoes but can't do a black fitted with navy shoes.

I agree with you partly, The initial wear of this shoe was quit a pain in the @ss but now i finally broke in my cloaks (the sharks were already a comfortable fit) I played ball in the 6s and yes they were comfortable wearing but cutting and stopping and turning wasn't as good imo. But 6s are comfortable in all other aspects and still good to play a casual game in. The 7s so far seem more stable with cutting, stopping turns.
But I guess each persons foot is different, I know people with wide feet are saying they're having trouble with it, fortunately I don't so I'm thankful for that.
As much as I love the CW on the 6s, the CWs on the 7s are just as good if not better.. I'm absolutely loving the sharks, cloaks I have.. AS also. .
6s I now use for the gym and casual.

^^ Agree with you both, Tdogg and gameupz, both make good points. I played with my dukes yesterday and my left foot was killing me, pivot foot. Felt like the circulation was being cut from my foot. Shoe felt too snug and not in a good way. I wear elite socks to play and this shoe feels like a 10, half sz down. After the first game had to switch up to my Kentucky's. Do you guys play with thinner socks? And how many wears before they break in? As of now, really not happy with the comfort of these VII's...

having a tough time deciding if i should get the elites or the playoff 12s. will definitely be a gametime decision though i'm leaning more towards elites.
