Seriously, there were a few people hating on them.  It's a good thing these were released before the game, otherwise it would be even harder to cop.

I will not be trying Eastbay. I'll be damned if I am gonna spend Christmas morning chasing a shoe that I can just buy hassle free for an easy 200 bucks. I swore the cool grey was the only shoe I was gonna stress over during Christmas.

 

[Majorbread]

Got my sz 12

saw lebrons go up on nikestore twitter with a link so i kept refreshing until the kobe link was up

got next day air shipping even tho its xmas tomorrow, just thought it would give me a better chance of them not canceling my order

Just to clarify, if "re-sellers" get many/more pairs than everyone else, don't they have to go through the same channels online as all of the rest of us online?  If so, then they either have super computers or have many people working for them to ensure they get 10s,upons 20s+ to "re-sell".  I am not making excuses for them or by any means promoting them, but if they go those kinda lengths to secure "their" pairs to re-sell, well then who am I to get all bent about it. 

As MARLEY, points out, it really comes down to how much time and effort you care to put into this.  If you have nothing but time, then you can probably afford to wait, refresh, crash, re-boot, wait again, refresh, etc... in hopes of hitting the jackpot, but in then end, does the time you spend doing that justify getting them for retail, or are you better off just ponying up an extra 75 bucks and calling it a day.  I personally am on the fence on this.  I would prefer not to pay anything more than retail, but I can see how others just say enough is enough and go ebay/reseller, whatever is readily available and pay extra to avoid the hassle and frustration.  I personally am not going to lose sleep over this, but I suppose if you are die-hard it may be a downer.

I will say this, upon seeing and picking up a pair of the Del sols, I would say this shoe is even lighter and on the surface more amazing than the 5, but I really cannot see myself wearing it near as much casually as either the 4 or 5.  I think the Chaos 4 and 5 kick this Grinch in the rear big time in terms of color use and overall look but just my opinion.   That being said, from a perf. standpoint, and a unique, flashy, different colorway, I am warming up to the Grinches.  All that being said, If i don't get a pair, I think the chaos 6 with the use of cool grey and purple, will be just fine instead.  Once the hype dies on these, they will become another Bruce Lee 5 or similar to it- always have a loyal following, but not by any means a timeless classic.
