Well can these lurkers go pick me up a pair lol! Damn so pissed I passed on the Grinches, and ohhh boy I'm sorry but I'm loving the LA's, I prefer them over the rice edition, that colorway does nothing for me.
 
Got a second pair of grinches today (Shout out to smurfdavid)  My second pair was a 7y, I've noticed that Kobes fit a lot bigger for me than other shoes.  Wasn't positive if they would fit but surprisingly they fit almost the same as my sz 8's.  For those of you that wear 8 and it is big, I would strongly suggest trying on a size 7 in the del sols and get these if you can't find an adult size pair for cheap.  I took some comparison pics if anyone was interested, forgive the bad quality and size.

GS on the left, sz 8 on the right.  Shozoku on the GS is slightly smaller as well as the tongue



Sz 8 on the left, GS on the right.  Different insoles, they did this on the GS V's as well



sz8 on the top, GS on bottom.  The carbon fiber plate, as you all know, on the adult sizes is real and hard.  GS is almost like a gel material that can be pushed in
 
had the opportunity to pick up some rice today and passed on it... I may have to kick myself later if i dont get a pair lol.

Here are some pics.  The GS one's are you basic, plain, insole.  Definitely not as nice as the adult sized ones.
Adult on the left, GS on the right. Back part of the insole, where the heel goes



Side view, adult on the left



Front view, adult on the left

Ok I'll give it to you.... LAs look so sick with red laces...damn


There you go! Lol


It gave the LAs the contrast that they needed. Why does it seem like so many of the VIs have the red shizoku.

Yes! LA's are a thing of beauty! Ohhhh lord... It's getting hot in here. LolAnd I'm not sure why alot of them have red
 
thanks dude. A huge difference. I like the shozoku symbol only actually. Gives it that real signature look. But that's just me.
 
LA's look nice with red laces, but still an easy pass for me. Like others have said, I wish they had more of a contrast on the shoe instead of being so uniformly blue.

Not that I don't like the red, I think it's really the only thing that sets the LAs off especially with the red laces, just odd how many of em have the red. Not to mention the other two CWs which are supposed to drop for all-star weekend will more then likely have the red shizoku as well to go along with the west team theme.

haha I think NWT is referring to the insoles I posted.
But yeah I never realized there was such a huge difference between the two, when I pulled them out I was like

Like everything though, you get what you pay for (not that they're bad or anything)
