OFFICIAL : Zoom Kobe V (5) thread - Ace launch on 3/6

[jordanhead21]

I got a pair of Chaos V's yesterday from someone in Cali for retail and shipping and MAN these shoes are AMAZING!!! They are lite and so comfortable. I canhonestly say I am done with whack jordan brand thanks to these. Quality is crazy and way more comfortable! Im completely new to kobes so can someone tell mewhich ones are quickstrikes? Im assuming the Chaos, DK's, Bruce Lee's? Not that I only want quickstrikes but just trying to build up knowledge on them.Thanks!

 

[tha real a2thamos]

I thought that I was going to only get a couple of pairs but it looks like im wrong. So far on my list are DK, Bruce Lees, CD and the olympics. My kobecollection is slowly but surely starting to get ridiculous!!!!!!

 

[never wear them]

Jordanhead21 - Welcome. You are now supporting a 4x champion.... And the Bruce lees are some what limited. Not going to be massed produced like the gr aways orchaos.

One thing about Kobes.... They're widely available.... But if your in search of a Kobe that released 2 months ago, forget about it. And once playoff****... You better be on toes

 

[jmizzo]

^^^ true, it seem like almost every pair that comes out is somewhat "limited".....

who ever stated the Carpe Diem's was going to release on the 16th? 3 Colorways in one day? That's never happened before... lol. Only the DKs and2k10's are releasing.

Speaking of CD's.. here they are. Pictures via. Sneakernews

 

[soups24]

i was wrong..the box was crushed...*sigh*..i'm going back to ordering from ndc strictly...

DAMN!

That's some English well written. I'd also like to add that these shoes don't crease !

 

[never wear them]

Those are horrible pics of the CDs. Waiting for marquee sole or some other actual real pics.

Not trying to play it smart just correcting, the TPU sandwhich gets softer when heated thus molds around your foot. The Flywire cables are just following dueto the flexibility the cables have. Indeed these babies don't crease at all and once again that happens thanks to the TPU properties. Can't wait forthe DK's!!!

 

[minarets]

So eastbay only received enough for their backorders?
They pulled the chaos off the site.

 

[never wear them]

I don't know but when I took my shoes off, they were hot and soft, the upper that is. The whole shoe just felt like a rubber band of some sort. I doublesocked too (Dri-fits)

 

[five30]

^Yeah, I noticed that too. The material on the upper becomes more supple when it's warm.

These V's are performance beasts.

Gotta agree on that! True performance beasts

 

[regal black]

If the CD do release, I'm going to pass on them. I already have the IV and I like them more than the V

no only Bruce Lees and aways not the DK

 

[gdiemaster]

oh snap ^ my fault. I meant 2k10's and Lee's LOL. fail.

 

[gr3yfox23]

Wore my Chaos Vs today for a day of work & boy can I say they feel great.. I have noooooooooooo complaints at all & got alot of positive feedback fromother customers... my question is how the hell can Nike get better than this with the Kobe VI??

 

[c4]

gdiemaster- you had me plotting for a sec. haha

I bet when real pics of the Carpes surface they'll look better, but like someone else said, I really liked the different tongue that the carpe IV'shad.
I think they should have continued that with the V, just my .02

imo, and not from a collectors side, nikes best shoe is hard to buy. why do that? your best technology is largly unknown.

 

[gr3yfox23]

I see where you are coming from bro^^...but when I first wore the IVs I felt Nike cant do any better than these but they proved me wrong.. I work for FTL so Itry ON every damn sneaker or Im buying sneakers every week & Kobe Vs have to be the best basketball/everyday shoe in YEARS... Kobe always pushes Nike &I really respect him for that unlike Lebron or Jordan, Kobe has desire behind his shoe thats why they are great.

 

[jordanhead21]

So is the carpe diem just a name (whats it mean?) or is it a certain material? Sorry guys im new at this! And to my knowledge Bruce Lee's and DK's onthe.....16th??

 

[five30]

^Carpe Diem = Seize the day

I believe the Away's & BL's are releasing on the 16th.

 

[jamesm25]

Does anyone know when the DK will release??

 

[gggggas]

From what is said, on January 16th both DK's and 2K10's will be released

 

[kobehead]

Its Bruce Lee and Aways on Jan 16th.

Dark Knight is on Feb 20th.

Someone update pg 1 please?

Seems like there was no point in creatinga new ZKV thread smh...
