^ If you think about some other shoes that built like a brick, e.g. the KOBETWO, a complete opposite shoe in terms of flexibility, how do you feel about balling in a pair of shoes that have no flexibility?
Flexibility have a direct implication on giving you a larger range of motion, e.g. before...
^^ Yeah I've noticed it and have sent a ezbox msg to the guy with that post, I think the name of one of the pics somehow got messed up and it shows up there :lol
This thread already have 40+ more posts than the Lebron IIs, how come still no sticky? there should be other colors coming after the first 4 GR colors right? like the all black, lakers colorway, etc..
^^ picture back up!
okay, what i said about the first time wearing the 2K5 walking made my feet tired extremely quickly was true, because even through that so called inspired free technology is nothing more than more flexibility in the forefoot than most other shoes, plus the outsole of this...
^^^ EXACTLY!
it is only the forefoot outsole *_inspired_* by the free technology, that is the flex-groove. which makes it a _little_ bit more flexible there. basically you can bend the NIKE FREE 5.0 in a 90 degrees angle, see pics below, but you can hardly bend 2K5 with your hand.

2 days ago I broke out my new All Star to walk around in the mall and to the movies... I can definitely feel the NIKE FREE technology for the first time, it feels great because it feels so flat on my feet and the sole feels very flat on ground, wide and long toe box, every step i take i feel...
May be at the time they sent their emails, the GR pic was not availiable? :\ Oh well, pictures that goes around on internet often have slight difference with what you get from the stores at the end.
For example, in nike.com, notice the little 2K5 All star pic on the bottom row, on the strap...
^^^ Do you mean this black tongue
VS this white tongue? (from pickyourshoes, it says sample)
