Nike Zoom Kobe V

[velvethoop]

looks like creasing can either go two ways... pull a hyperflight or resist all creasing

I guess winning 4 rings, MVP, finals MVP, gold medalist isn't enough

it's because he doesn't throw up chalk before games

chaos!

 

[razzle dazzle]

How do the Vs fit compared to the IVs? Because for me, the IVs set the standard for a "great basketball shoe", and should be hard to top

OK...I am not a professional reviewer but here ya go...

Fit - they seem to be slightly wider than the IVs, length seems the same. I didn't feel the same "pressure" on my pinky toe until it molded toit for a perfect fit. The Vs also have circle pads down the entire tongue for extra cushion for quick stops..nice touch.
Traction - They seem to grip just fine, did some cuts and quick stop starts with great grip.
Zoom - Zoom Heel and Zoom Forefoot - different feel than the lunar foam, not as cushy on the first wear but when they break in all the way

Material - No leather....mine did not crease at all when I wore them today (unlike the 4s that creased badly on the first step)
Height -These shoes are also lower than the 4s, probably 1/4 inch or so...but I didn't measure.
laces - long enough! not great looking but long enough.

Still love the 4s but the Vs are cool too.

Sounds great.

Damn no creases is nice.

 

[jmizzo]

laces are long enough to tie them too....yeah!!!

 

[cbfpunch]

holding on to my money for the Vs. can't wait!

 

[moneyallthetime]

thanks jmizzo!
I have fat feet so I'll stick with my IV sizing even though the V is a bit more wider. Forefoot zoom and no creasing FTW!
the Vs are growing on me more and more...

My wanted list:

maybe:

[jmizzo]

I really like everything about that shoe except the yellow canvas...it just looks off to me.
