By the looks of these prototypes and what the pricepoint may be assuming it's higher I'm going to keep these strictly hardwood andnlimited to 3 colorways. Del sol, inline/concord, a loud colorway

Don't be surprised if thats the case here along with the AJ 2011.. You really don't get the ideal feedback that one would get with a lower to the ground built into the midsole zoom air. If it is true that we only get insole zoom air, price point should be no higher than $110.

Agreed 1000%  I think its the cheapest way for Nike to make a shoe by incorporating the air soles into the insoles.  I"d think if they did that with this Kobe inserting them into the midsole also would be good for Kobe's ride this upcoming season or to justify any price point increase.

maronandlando- check the 6 lines slanting upwards beneath the horizontal textures...
looks to me like the upper would be the same as the 6 except instead of having PU islands,
they made it horizontally. this makes more sense in terms of flexibility, durability and foot
protection...

if the price goes up, as I've said, I'd get 2 pairs max. maybe one depending on the CWs...
Nike, listen, we don't want any price hike,this will turn off consumers... keep it at $130 and
we're all good.

I never judge early samples. I said the 6's were gross at first look, now I own 7 plus pairs lol. Too early for me yet.
