Enjoy the first look, and now that you know what shoes Kobe will be rocking in the 2011 NBA All-Star Game, give us your feedback.

so ive played in my VI for the first time the other night for 2.5 hours of full court bball and they feel cushier but i dont feel they are as responsive as the V were. Plus these felt higher off the ground than the Vs (even just out of the box; i just UNDS some 5 rings and another pair of Vs and they felt lower to the ground out of the box compared to the VIs). anyone feel the same?

as for the memory foam heel lining, i didnt notice a difference, if anything i felt a little heel slippage on my right foot where as the V i didnt, but the toe box on the VI did feel more snug and almost like it wrapped the foot (i liked that part). The "extra" cushioning on the insoles or what have you did feel better post game though since my feet didnt feel tired (but i wonder if thats because the V are lower to the ground imo). anyways that was just my impression, ill play in them some more and see how i feel after.

Vs still look better imo, i love the lines on that shoe. not big on the midsole of the VI where it forms a shark fin looking part, compare it to the V, the Vs looks more streamline.

Not to mention the shipping.

95 GBP is 150 USD and some change. NDC offers free shipping in the UK, then i'm going to guess 30-40 USD to personally ship to the US. 
that's still cheaper than what the retail price of the "chinas" will be (the article said it will retail for 1299 yuan which is 196 USD).. and i believe the cheapest i saw the "chinas" on ebay is 200 USD not including shipping.

i know i just added fuel to the hype train. my apologies.

its suppose to feel snug i believe...hence the insoles (i want a shoe that molds to my foot) so yea its suppose to feel snug.  if not just go half size up (depends on your feet, everyone has different feet), so a person with "fat" feet would feel tightness whereas a "slim" foot probably feel normal or loose.  for me it felt snug but like a lock down fit, just depends on what you like.
 
^ I copped 10.5 in every single Kobe V and I own almost 10 pairs.

So far I own the Grinchs and I had to cop a 10, because the 10.5 was too roomy in the forefoot. I thought I had a wide foot too!

i wear 9.5 kobe v (8 pairs of v's) and they fit snug,  the grinch's i have are 9.5 and they are super comfy,bigger than the V's. especially in the toe box area.  also when you wear the lace loose you have more room to move.  The v's even if you wear the lace SUPER loose it feels like its tied pretty tight.
 
noticed the pics of the BLACK RED 6s on sneakernews
show the soles having thicker scale lines. could the
black red pair be xdr? or for asphalt? kinda cool.

Since it's allstar in LA hopefully there will be enough Allstar Kobe to go around . No need to line up or anything like that
