because I like this outsole:

it looks like it will have better traction than the 6s and the 6 had good traction. I'm down with a little design and the herringbone half toe..

I see now.  I had completely forgotten about that picture.  Personally, I don't think that the VIs had good traction AT ALL, compared to previous models.  Their traction is by no means bad, but it leaves a lot to be desired.  I'm a fan of full-herringbone (Huarache 2k4, etc.), but hey as long as the herringbone is somewhat retained on the medial side of the shoe, I'll be happy.  While I'm not always a proponent of function > aesthetic when it comes to visible parts of the sneaker, I think that the when determining outsole traction it is def not the time to be worrying about themes and such.  Herringbone has proven to be the best all-around traction for indoor courts, hands down.  Wish they'd stick to it.

The VI's traction was #@**. It's one of the first things I look at in a shoe and chances are no evidence of a herringbone outsole Nike aint getting my money.

This half medial, half Mamba-Kobe-needs-to-be-different outsole is ridiculous.  I can see it for marketing reasons, but come on Nike.  Kobe is a top athlete, all his gear is supposedly 'marketed' as top of the line no nonsense %%$%#+%%.  If you want to create the best all around shoe, you need herringbone full stop. What's the point in light-weight, flywire, zoom air, carbon shank, brail writing if you can't even do a sharp cut? lol

Nike you're doing it wrong.
