i never got blisters and i've been balling in them for weeks already..
i also went half a size up because my regular size (i wore 11 in the zk6) was too tight. i believe this is the cause of blisters. 1/2 size up is necessary for this shoe.

Hopefully with the ZK VIII next year, Avar + Nike release some better colorways. Look at the LeBron 9 and the KD IV. Design and performance wise, it can't even touch the ZK VII. What sold these shoes were COLORWAYS. This is what Eric Avar needs to realize with the Kobe Line going forward. People nowadays are being shoes based on 2 factors: limited availability + crazy/bright color schemes. It's about time the Kobe line got with the "program."
The Kobe VII played it way too safe (with the exception of the Cloaks and the ASG Galaxy) with the released colorways this year. Very plain and boring = lackluster sales & outlet racks.

I agree, i love the design of the shoes but the color placement of the shoe leave alot to be desire.

I agree with this 100%, only color way that drew interest from me was the cloaks and the yotd (didn't even release the yotd in the U.S. that I know of). Got the cloak though. Kobe 6 was better imo.Originally Posted by Poseidon24

Yeah it has been a letdown for the most part but can't be mad though. Wallet needs a break once in awhile.

Every colorway sucks but the cloaks and the Christmas day's which I think are very under rated
Regardless, I don't see how they let the VII colorways slip so far when the V and VI were both loaded.

I was at the store on release date for Sharks,
Glad i did can't find them now.
Sharks are very very hot colorway.
I want wolfs but they are sitting eveywhere so i can wait for discount. and if they so happen to be gone by time they hit major discounts then on to the 8 save my money for them
