looking for release TYPE i.e gr, limited gr, quickstrike etc.
 
man...eastbay is messing with me...i ordered them on 12/24 - no word of backorder or anything..still no shoes
so i call today....and the lady tells me that my chaos' are on backorder....*sigh*

looks like i shouldn't veered from my reliable ndc
 
looks like releases are going to be similar to the 4...

laker cw's easily attainable with some more limited stuff sprinkled in.

I wonder if theyre gonna be any Venom type releases.
 
which outlet store did you visit? i went to the kaihin-makuhari nike outlet store and said they didnt have it and also called several nike outlet stores inthe tokyo area but unfortunately, they did not have it as well. it would be great if you can tell me where you saw these gems...

I think these have the potential to be the best kobe's ever... their super light...heel and forefoot zoom air....flywire...and I heard the traction issuperb...c'mon you have to agree with me the kobe 4 and lunar foam have nothing on these...

I hope not unless they are crappy colorways. I kind of wish the Chaos would have been like that since they are the one color I am not interestedin haha.

copped my first pair of kobes. dug the chaos alot and came upon them as I went to go get some other kicks. lakers cw's are not an option, and i am waitingon id's for new material options.

hopefully these perform as well as I expect. Technically and design wise I am intrigued to play in them.

I havent worn mine yet, but I have that problem with a lot of my shoes...sucks to know that more than likely I'll have that problem with these too

also...just read on "the other site" that in NY, Foot Locker on 34th st is selling the aways. Not too sure how true that is, just relaying what I read.
Played again in these today and had a little more chaffing. I think I'm in the minority when I say this but I think these run a little big. Ihave lots of room still in my size 11.5s and normally 11.5s fit me well. Definitely do not size up in these, just buy your regular size. For my next pair ofVs, I might even try on some 11s and see how they fit. I think my heel chaffing could be due to the fact the 11.5s are a little big on me.

The traction has been good, I just don't get the squeaky noises when I cut and stop, kind of a security blanket for me knowing that shoes are gripping thecourt when I hear those sounds. Played about 5-7 more full-court games today and still no signs of creases. I think Nike is on to something with these shoes.Could just be the colorway, but I'm loving how this one piece upper doesn't crease.
 
so what's the deal on the carpe diems? I want a pair of the aways.. gonna visit the local footlocker in my are..
