Those of you who are willing to pay 40-50 dollars more than the retail 130 for the Black III's....they're up on EBAY for BIN.

OMG these photoshops are so good!! I wish they came out like them. For me ZKIII is good looking shoe it needs white based outsole (or anything but black) andit automatically makes it better.

Balled in my CHINA AZKIII's. I'm a HUGE Kobe fan but I put myself in an UNBIASED OPINION HERE! I made sure I went on the court with the mentality ofbeing VERY CRITICAL TO THIS SPECIFIC KOBE SIG SHOE! I made sure that I balled in the Zoom Lebron II's for about a few days before wearing these because theLebron II's are one of my top favorite hoop shoes to ball in, and it's a non-Kobe shoe. Here's the REVIEW:
Comfort and Fit - 10/10
The shoe looks super paper thin. To make things worse to the eye, the tongue in the shoe is super paper thin that I was a lil' weary on putting these shoeson because of the fear of a 'paper cut.' The shoes look so sharp and deadly that it seems that it would not only be able to make cuts on the floor butalso on my feet!! Eric Avar of Nike proved me wrong, ONCE AGAIN! Like Ripley's BELIEVE OR NOT, the shoes were a total opposite! Once I snug my dogs insidethese babies, it was OFF! I was amazed at how much cushioning the Zoon Air Bag gave, while knowing how thin the shoes really are!! The midsoles of the shoesalso provided a relative comfort factor on the side of my feet as I was cutting on the floor and make stops on the dime. The space in the toe box area is aperfect fit! The heel area also provided much comforting space that allow my heels to land without much rugged impact. Props to the Full-Length Zoom Air Bag!Though it looks like a cage, the shoes provided comfort much like sleeping on a Tempur-Pedic mattress! On the matters of the paper-thin tongue, wearing quartersocks seem to do the trick! Plus it's stylish too!
Ankle-Feel Protection - 10/10
This is very short. The reason being is because I didn't really sprain or twist my ankle during the 4 hours of rugged and slashing play. The surprisingthing is that though the the shoe seems very flimsy at first feel, once I laced these up to the top, it feels as though I was protected by a strap on the2k4's!! Once again, Eric Avar puts the Ripley's on these bad boys!!
Breathability - 10/10
WOW!!! That's all I can say! Is there such a thing as TOO MUCH AIR?! I know it's winter and all, but when I ball for about 4 hours of pick-up straight,my dogs do get a lil heated in there. NEVER did that happen during these 4 hours of play with the AZKIII! What's ClimaCool? Move over Adidas, these shoeswill freeze over the competition!! I did remember looking at my feet and pondering whether my feet were numb or something...It was ridiculously COOL!
Responsiveness - 10/10 (Can I exceed to 11/10?)
This is by far the best part of the shoe. The description is not as along as the Comfort section but let me say that the II's were by far the mostresponsive/low-to-the-ground shoes I've ever balled in...until the III's came out! This shoe is so low to the ground that it seems like I could feelevery tiny pebbles that were embedded on the dirty courts of my community park's indoor court...Just Kidding. But it did exceed the II's responsivenessin terms of allowing me to feel the court and to cut as I was running. In addition, it seems as if there is some kind of brain in this shoe because everytime Ileaped in the to lay a smack down or a power rebound....I got up VERY VERY fast. With these shoes, you will know how it feels to play like Trix (aka ShawnMarion) without hurting your heels or toes on the landing! Thanks Nike for making one of my wishes come true!
Durability - ??/10
Only time will tell. However, so far from my first full-on session....it seemed to hold its grounds. Looks pretty fresh and new too, after being stepped on andbeaten by a bunch of 250 pound beasts. My prediction is that this shoe will last only for one-two seasons of basketball battling.
Style - 10/10 (this is the biased opinion, sorry I didn't keep my 100% WORD)
Neck-Breaker!!!!
Traction - 10/10
I played on the dirty courts to see how this shoe tested. APPROVED! The huge out-rigger was also a huge factor in allowing me to make certain cuts and moves oncall. I'm a big fan on the technology and the traction design of the wave and the diamonds seem to allow me to ball in another higher level!!
Weight and Lightness - (Look at the comment)
13 oz. NEED I SAY MORE?!
OVERALL - 10/10
GREAT JOB ERIC AVAR!!!!! You did it once again and proved once more that YOU ARE THE BEST IN THE GAME! My favorite designer BY A LONG SHOT!!! Can't waitfor the Black/white/maize to come out so I could fully use that in a basketball tourney coming soon!
I'll be posting this on the KICKS REVIEW section as well!

i like the Olympic colorway but i doubt that Kobe will wear those in the games
they don't really match the olympic colors because there's no navy blue or golden accents
they'll probably release the white/red/black version for people that aren't fans of the Laker colorways (kinda like the ZK1 "All StarVersion")
i hope they release the exact colorway from the olmypics, but i doubt they will. guess ill just buy the Black/Maize/White versions in February.
