Really? Source?

   
Every colorway that released prior to the Fall of '09 eventually sold out.  I don't count the gradient, Phila, or/and Spidey colorway that released in Fall '09

You do know that suggesting this is not proof of anything, correct? Do you have anything as what was pictured, showing the LeBrons in front, anything that shows that what you are stating is fact? I'd love to see it!

Show me something like this, or direct me to it, thanks!

Nobody is wearing these shoes. Not those from last year, nor this year. As I stated, I live in Greenwich CT, and they don't even sell them here. The closest store that does is in Stamford CT. They do not even sell them in Portchester NY, which is right next door to where I am. I am involved with AAU ball, and I've seen two people wearing them out of 10 teams. I saw Rice High in Harlem NY with them, but they got them for free.

I'd love to see some stats as to where they are selling! The Eastbay stats are very telling!

The Kobe VI's didn't release until December though so of course they aren't in that November list. I think Kobe's are more of a west coast thing, period.

I see Kobe's all the time in california, but no one here can even recognize that my entourage's are a Lebron shoe until i tell them it is.

I mean, the V1 was a great looking sig shoe for lebron this year, but the V2 and V3 were much more generic looking and had too much of the same "look" that other Nike basketball products have.

I also can't see the Kobe VI selling well in the colder parts of the US, such as NY or even parts the mid-west because they look better with shorts if worn casually.

In Canada it's pretty rare to see either. In those Sole Collector videos of Tinker talking, how he was talking led me to believe Kobe's did better for the company, but I guess he was mostly talking about a performance/technical aspect.

I almost never see anyone wear either casually, but kobes definitely outnumber lebrons on the court

The gym I play at in the bay area is about 10-1 favoring kobe.  Only seen LBs a couple times.  15% of the players I'd say wear Vs or VIs

[faded8119]

Im basing my thing from the 2 leagues and the all the basketball courts that I've been too in my area within 50 mile stretch so no one kill me. Taking out all the peeps that wear the D. Rose/adidas, reebok or Jordans, majority of peeps here in NJ (union/elizabeth area to piscataway) wear Kobe 6's...honestly I only seen 2 people were the 8's to ball and both of em are bigs (6'6 and above). Dunno how that correlates to the whole US, but just stating how it is over here.
