reason why grinches are one of the most coveted pair of 6's because there wasn't that many hot or hype 6's to begin with. I can name at least five 5's I'd rather have. But there are different eras of kobe fans, some prefer the models 8-11, some prefer models 4-6 and some swear by the stiff models 1-3 lol. I think most of us can agree that 7's was the most uncomfortable on and off the court

The 7s you just had to go half sz up lol. If you went your normal sz... yep... it took a long while to break. With deciding to go half sz up for my lakers PDFs... love playing in them

I ordered the Christmas 7s and them things were trash. I’d say of the newer Kobe’s 7s were the worst (looks wise) but they definitely rebounded with the 8s

The silhouette of the 7 is dope. The upper materials are what sucked.

the 7's looked sleek as hell to me. The back/heel area looked "mean". The interchangeable ankle/insole system was cool. And not to mention the 7's birthed the best kobe commercials (Success at Success). But they just missed the mark for me for comfort to ball in. They were stiff and heavy in the back and hurt the arch on my foot

That’s what I thought too. 5s are my favorite because of the different color palettes on the upper.

It was more than a rebound, it was a put-back throwdown.

The Galaxys and the Invisibility cloaks are 
colorways but trying to wear them more than an hour gives me blisters.

Yea felt pain every time with my Gakaxys as I rarely wore them. I often wore my BHM so they got better with time. I broke those in quicker with wearing them to work as my commute shoes with casual socksThe Galaxys and the Invisibility cloaks are

Agreed with the blisters on the 7s.
I had the asg and xmas shoes. I believe you had to cut a bit of the side structure in the shoe (lateral side).
In the xmas shoes, I had to use the ankle system insole for ball because it is the setup that didnt give give blisters.

he did not ditch them, he wore them from December 2011 until December 2012, before he switched to the Kobe 8!
