Watermelon / [possible] Christmas KD V is dope

Thanks for the shout..someone should start a club..go for it.Not a huge fan of the "hyperfuse" like higher cut, but I dig the simplicity and the swoosh placement. Like the contrasting lace loops with one color and more of another. I agree that the watermelon color is "unique" and likely will be had if not impossible to locate. To me its an improvement on the KD4 Mint/easter which I didn't cop myself but did grab for my son in 5y.
If I had to compare this shoe from what I have seen so far to another in the line I would say it reminds me in some ways of the 3. Not terribly unique or flashy on its own but will be great likely performance wise or improved on the 4- like the 3 was to the 2, and great in certain colorways.... See the KD3 Orioles, ********, etc...
I plan on tapering off ( say this darn near every year ) on bball shoes(kobes, brons, and KDs) quite a bit this year and into next but certain cws will likely have to be submitted to- including but not limited to the "watermelon-esque" as well as the 'linens". I am sure there will some banans ASG, Holiday, and Tribute CWs as well. I probably won' t be able to follow through on my "promise" to myself to stick with primarily old school trainers and such. BTW, all that will be on my feet for next few months are an occasional KD4(texas, away, entourage) and Trainer 1 Cholors(my first love). Hopefully the KD5 squeaks into the rotation by xmas time.
Good to see most of you regulars in here once again- Brandon, Dean, Will, ReppinVA, etc.. sure I missed someone. See you all in the coming months in here as releases approach. May be a good time to start an informal "club/team" and go the Twitter route since I am not Facebook cool/eligible.
Damn..just woke up..seen these pics..and i know ima have a good day. I really love how Leo and KD switched it up (no strap, exterior heel counter, and a higher cut with visible heel air.) KD said last year that he wanted to give "air " a try. Since he is wearing a knee brace..i wonder if he needed that extra impact protection. Personally ive always loved this set-up..zoom up front for the explosive/quick moves and air in back for that heel strike whether running or landing from a jump. The Blue Chips were comfy, the KD1´s were a really good shoe too. I cant wait to play in these.More pics via Nice Kicks, _steezuschrist
Way too bland/basic.
