OFFICIAL: NIKE KD VI - "WTKD" 6/14

[niketalkpinoy]

 
Has anyone balled in the VI Elite and the regular V's? 

I'd be interested to hear thoughts and any comparisons between the two.

I have balled in both and here is my comparisons,

Fit/Stability  - 5>6elite - i found the the fit of the 5 are overall better. the 5s have a better 1to1 feeling.

Grip - 5=6 - the grip performs VERY VERY similar to each other. I can't tell the difference.

Comfort/Cushion - 6elite>5 - the cushion on the 6elite is probably the best cushion ive experienced. Full length zoom is amazing. I really didn't like the cushion

overall i would have to pick the 6, because the cushion feels sooo good.

Would the cushioning on the VI Elite be similar to what we saw on the Lebron X?

Can't wait for these. IMO best KD of the year.

yes!
precision and gold elite shall be the only two KD VI's that I will own. waiting.

 

[dmxgod]

The gold elite is real dope..those and the OKC joints (which I already own) are the two colorways I will own for the KD VI elite..

 

[da-shocka]

Is the precisions still in stores?

Yes it is the same zoom max bag but much lower to the ground feeling than the lebron x were

The elite sound like they have the cushioning of the LeBrons with the ride and traction of the kobe's.....I'm drooling

idk about that kobe-like traction. the kobes are beasts when it comes to court grip.

The traction on the Elite's is great - but my Kobe Elites are the next level.  I'd say KD Elite's are like a 9.5, and Kobe's are a 10+.

Did I really just strike out on a T-shirt????

Lmao same thing I thought this afternoon when I decided to go to the site and cop.

 

[sk33termcg33]

I haven't balled in anything else since the KD VI elite - the cushioning is perfect, would've loved to see the lower profile max zoom on the LBJ Xs but I'll take these!

 

[blastercombo]

The first shoe I could actually say the elite version is legitimately a step up from the normal version

 

[glc123]

 
2k15 shoe or nah ?

the fact were still waiting on the lebrosn make me think it wont happen or they will have better plans but im all over it if it happens i will call in to work to get this code #nerdissues

Hero Elites are on the FTL Launch Locator, fyi. Might've been there yesterday but I didn't check.

new to the KD thread,  curious thought,  the thunder games ive seen (and miami games)  I havent seen KD or lebron wear any elites in the playoffs,  shouldnt nike make them wear it at least once for marketing purposes?

I want them badly. My questions are are they LR or GR. Also will they a corresponding tee for it.

KD did wear a PE pair of Elites against Memphis for a half. But yeah, I can't imagine Nike is too thrilled with him not wearing them.

Yeah thats the only time ive seen him wear it, Derek Fisher has been wearing the elites pretty steady though. Even Bron hasn't worn his elites much i've noticed him wearing zoom soldier 7's a lot this season.

dang thats kind of lame,  hey I own the shoe that he wore only for one half.  I am not into hyped shoes at all, but if the player doesnt even want to wear his own elite shoes, makes me feel like something is wrong with them.  esp when "elites" are upcharged and are suppose to be better performance wise.  oh well, compared to last years, I have no overall complaints. just thought its an interesting thing to be noticed.

He hasn't even worn the blue/orange pair that released.  He wore a black/blue PE.

It's funny because when he put them on he said something like they were the most comfortable shoes in the world.  So maybe it's just superstition or something why he's not wearing them.

yep...especially when Nike was doing some major PR prior to the elite release with "exclusive" interviews on the shoe sites, and all of them saying how KD wanted more air and how he loved them so much that he wouldn't take them off.
