Thx for the heads up fam but they re getting them no sooner than the 23rd seriously? Im leaving Seattle on the 18th for Montana

i wanted to get a pair before that.
what s good with the chaos though? i arrived in Seattle on december 28th from France and they were nowhere to be found...

I was planning on calling around again. I dont know why NT would be getting them a week later...I have a feeling the lady didnt really know what she was talking about. I really hope she was wrong and they are getting the Bruce Lee's. as far as chaos, I know southcenter footlocker got them and they still had some like a week after release.


Yeah or have them do a search for the shoe on their computers....they should find a nice stock in Portland they can pull from.


Thanks for the help guys i think i ll just end up ordering them from someone or from a store i just wish i could have tried dem on first

a lot of jordan heads are starting to like the kobe line

haha well what got me hooked where the chaos and the fact that I feel like I got my moneys worth with these shoes also. This forum is so much nicer than the JB forum, anytime there is a new release there will be 9 pages of

"im copping these x4"
"ducktales"
"great, a good shoe that they are going to ruin the quality on"
"PLEASE BE TRUE!! I NEED THESE"
"COPPED

"

Nothing but a bunch of resellers and haters in that forum. Never talk about specs of a shoe or anything helpful
indifferent.gif



I think I've found my new home

Specs? Hooping in Jordans are slowly becoming borderline dangerous.

don't think it's any better in this thread/forum. every other page is damn near the same thing as you posted plus:

"when do the (colorway/nickname) release?"

just look back a couple of pgs in this thread and you'll see what i'm talkin about. heck you even get ppl on here that admit that they're too lazyto go back a pg or two to look up information already posted. jordans have considerably gone down in quality for the past several years, but sig kicks likethe zkv and the zlbj vii are on the way up; so you won't hear about poor quality in this thread.
 
I don't know if this has been posted but anybody looking to cop Bruce Lee's vault in harlem has them got their pairs on january 7th according to theirblog....don't know the size run but you have to place your order through email visit their site for details vaultharlem.com

Well its hard for newcomers to know exact release dates and details because it seems like on Niketalk, we always let some goof make the official Kobe or Lebronpage and it doesnt get updated. Like whoever created this thread hasnt posted since December 11.

If somebody like Never wear them, s dubl, jmizzo, kobehead (you) etc started the thread the first page constantly would get updated and some of the questionscould be avoided. But oh well
ohwell.gif

My fault let me re phrase my question.

there you go.

See if a regualr poster had made the thread. A review could be on thefirst page.
 
Just played in them in a KobeV Tourney. My thoughts after 2 games. Regarding traction...(everything else is great). These have a small zoom unit in theforefoot (which is way wider than the IV making the foot slide around inside the shoe). The lunar foam of the IV lets the forefoot rest more comfortably in theshoe, in turn, putting more even pressure on the outsole, providing better traction. The traction pattern is cool on the V (a EKG reading), but not atraditional pattern, taking away from the grip on the court. The herringbone pattern is unmatched in traction. Its a GREAT shoe to play in, but just not theIV.
 
got a quick question about the bruce lee's.
anyone in the so-cal area know if they will be releasing here? i.e south coast plaza...main place...etc?
pleaseeeee be here or is it officially just house of hoops and niketowns? thanks for the help!

thanks for your input on the traction...I was hoping that since it was a variation of herringbone it would still do the job but traditional herringbone justreally can't be beat...another person on the other boards said that his friends did start to squeak so I'm hoping that will happen for mine as well...Ilove everything else about the v's over the iv's, at least for me, except for the traction

anyone else that have played in theirs that want to chime in regarding the traction or overall performance it would be greatly appreciated

The Adidas The Kobe 1 is still imo the best adidas bball shoe of all time. althought the crazy 1 wasnt as nice quality wise its still the performance beast thekobe was... crazy 1's can be had on ebay for 30 shipped. imo a steal
 
First Problem with the KOBE Vs that wasn't a problem on the IVs....

The front of the toe box has a "lip" where the mid sole meets the upper.... if you tend to drag your feet a bit, these will begin to peel and theglue will become unstuck.

Anyone else have this problem??

I had multiple pairs of the IVs and never experienced this because of the way the toe box was designed on the IVs.
