The Official Nike Zoom Kobe VII Thread Vol. 2 - Home 3/31, Elites and PDFs

Have not been in here much so sorry if asked before...are the "What the Kobe" VII's releasing? if so when?
 
Nah... Thabo wore the zk6 FINALS... smfh!
Got the del sols for cheap. Got rid of my Xmas edition right away
but I guess I still needed one pair for the collection. sized .5 up as
well since I want to actually be able to use them. So disappointed in
this sig BUT I gotta admit they look really good. can't believe there
are paint chips already right off the box along with some other deformities.
the creasing is insane as well. oh well. my new beaters.

this is my favorite view right here... I love how the medial side looks on the del sol

heel cups aren't even aligned. one's higher than the other. !+% Nike.

also about the Cushlon/Lunarlon confusion. I guess this should answer it:
imgp1581v.jpg

it says LU/FO which I assume stands for LUnar FOam. Maybe, Maybe not.
Avar says it was Lunar. so yeah.

Overall I still like the shoe but it just DISAPPOINTS me as a fan and as a shoe
lover.
quality is insanely poor. heel lockdown is so bad. they just look good on feet
and the aesthetic design on these is awesome.

HOPING FOR ANOTHER GOOD RUN WITH THE 8s! 4,5 and 6 were all classics.
I think everyone would agree to that.

I guess? Look on eBay.. search for them, same exact shoe.. I've seen from a couple diff sites they release end of the month.

Yeah, man.

I couldn't decide, so I just posted up both of them at the same time to see which one would go first. I got a good price for them, too.
I hope to have a pair again by the end of the year, though.
 
For heel lockdown do y'all use a runner's loop when you tie em up? I used to have problems with both the VI and VII but then saw someone posted how to lace em up differently I.e. runners loop.

Google it, definitely helps w/ heel lockdown issues

I agree. I got my USAs on Friday last week and the logo on the back is identical. Here's a cell phone pic:

these came out really nice i dont like the logo on the back but ill prolly still cop.....Nike has effed up the 7's with these horrible colorways these shoes could have sold way better with nice colorways instead of dang near every colorway ending up in outlets

tried it last year with the vi but it didn't work for me. tried it with the 7 and it didn't work as well.
Kobe 4 and 5 had perfect lockdown for me.

Do you think the Kobe VII is better than the Lebron 9 or KDIV?
Are you referring to performance or color schemes?  Colors, the VII sucks in comparison to both the KDs and Brons.  As far as performance, I love low cut shoes, and the KDIV are nice but nowhere near as comfortable as the VII's (after you break them in).  While I do own some LeBron 9s, I guess I would say if you're a high-top fan, the Bron's have the best cushioning in any shoe to date, imo.  I don't own any Fast inserts, so I can only speak from the viewpoint of the Strongs, and I love 'em.  Basically, it comes down to your preference but I think as far as comfort and stuff, overall:
Brons > Kobes > KDs

Colors?

Brons > KDs > Kobes

Haha I hope that kinda answers the question...
I meant in terms of the overall aesthetic appeal of the shoe because that's the most important feature for a shoe to sell.

do you tap your heel on the ground to push your foot all the way back before you lace up?

Not at all. Why would you think it would be that crazy?


I don't know. I can't understand why some shoes are impossible to get, likeI wanted kd iv easter really bad for retail but didn't get them. Isn't usa color waySomewhat special? I want them and just wanted ask around here to experts andBe ready.
 
Like i said for my 3000 post with post up my collection. the reason i came to this site was for the kobe shoes, nothing else just kobe shoes. My first post was in a Kobe Thread so had to post my 3000 post in a Kobe Thread

enjoy

As far as I know they shouldn't be too hard to get.  USA's aren't getting any hype like the Big Bangs or MVs, at least I haven't heard any so they should be an easy cop.

guess what?...my homie just dropped off a pair of this exact same shoe to my office today...
he copped them cheap also and was "donating" a pair to me....
I'm not thrilled about it, but I will definitely try them out at the gym (w/ V's or VI's in tow to switch out when they suck, lol).
Hoping I can wear these casually so I can use them while I'm traveling....
I love the themes, the looks, but hate the feel.....

question i bought a VNDS pair supposedly and the sole barely glows, the light has to be pitch black to see some decent glowing, is that normal or did i get ripped off? i heard kobe glow isnt as good as KD or lebron but is it that %%%#$%?
