Has anyone been playing ball in these? I'm thinking about getting a pair to play outdoors in, but I'm not sure if the retros are meant to ball in lol
 
Don't sleep guys! Unlike the "Wolf Grey" where I felt that the official pics were very deceiving compared to the actual shoe, this Maize colorway looks as good is person as in the official pics and for some reason, I don't feel like they are "flimsy" unlike the "wolf grey". For the record, I went 0.5 up.

Obviously bad lighting and a Galaxy S3 pic don't do them justice.
 
Anyone ball in these new retros yet?

Yes. For some reason, they aren't exactly like they were back in 04-05. Yet they are 95% better than all other shoes out there still.
I felt the difference in the ankle support and a bit on the cushioning. Grip was great, toe structure felt good, leather good.
 
Never was a fan of these balling wise even back in 04. And yes I know that these were THE shoe for a good 2-3 years. I just felt the cushioning was always too minimal for my taste.

I can definitely see that they were too minimal for some -- this is actually a big reason why I enjoyed them, it was just about the right amount of cushioning for me.  

Really enjoyed the foot-hugging fit and the heel support too though
 
I'm holding out for just a slightly better deal on the black/yellows.  Wish the jetstream/royal pair would re-release

sounds good to me since I like the kobe 8, 9.

What was the best price so far for these retros?
 
 
I think close to 100 has been the best

If you've tried the Kobe V or VI, these have the same zoom air midsole setup:
Im sold. However, I do prefer the kobe 5 > 6 becuz lockdown was better for me and lower to the ground. The kobe 6 had a lot more cushion and felt like it should have been a mid/high top

Are these more like the 5 or 6 in terms of how thick the the midsole is?
