Vs are not excluded they let them ring it up with the coupon, but its up to the managers of each store.

When I saw them in person I had to get them ASAP. Might first thought was putting the BL laces on them too!

You guys all must be ******ed or something.
1. learn to run properly.
2. the IV's don't outperform the V's. if you think that's true, give me your V's.
I play intense basketball.. and when I say intense, not this pick up crap... i play in men's league and extramural's in college.
my shoes get beat up every day, and I'm fine.... seriously, somethings wrong with you guys.
It's unfair to say run properly, or do this or that differently without knowing the circumstances in how they sprained/rolled their ankles.. If you come down on another players foot, hardly any shoe is saving your ankle, even taping it doesn't always help (I taped my ankles for college ball)
BUT, for the most part, you cannot blame the shoes fellas.. If you are rolling them by just running then quickly changing direction, something is obviously wrong... Strengthen those ankles/legs, or pick another sport. High tops are just masking the interlying issue....
LOL it's funny how some people get offended.
I believe I run properly.. I have never come near spraining my ankle while running.. .. (******s)
I play college VOLLEYBALL with the kobe v's and previously with hyperdunks and kobe iv's
and of course I don't blame the shoe.. even tho I do think the iv's are more comfy. it fits my foot better. and the cushion around the ankle is thicker.
I do like the v's .. especially how the shoe doesn't have any creases after use.. but it seems like nike just took out too much weight.but after breaking the 5's in they are way better.
the break in period IMO is at LEAST 3 hours of running.

Rice is tomorrow and no one is talking about them. Are both rices releasing tomorrow or just the away?

I think just the Rice Away's are releasing. Maybe some of the people here are passing on them, I know I am.

The problem for me is the base looks silver in person so it doesnt look like a true Laker CW.

in Re: to above conversation, I think that the V's are artisically more beautiful than the IVs, but in terms of comfort and performance, I'll take the IVs ant day of the week (Glad I stocked up on em!)...They are a more comfortable shoe with more padding for me. Esp around the ankle. The neoprene sock thing is cool, but I prefer the traditional tongue and laces. Now if you want to talk aesthetics and design, the V's are amazing...visually stunning, esp with all the $$ colorways. But to play/complete/perform in a shoe, IV is for me.
Its interesting, b/c it seems that the NBA players also are divided, many still playing in the IV, while others making the jump to the V.....

^Homes do look good. If I can grab them with the Locker Madness deal I will probably do it.
Also, does anyone know when they are going to announce the winner of the V ID Contest?

true, but the inline homes are sacramento kings colors....the homes are more lakerish (real word?) to me.

Most of the nicknames are pretty self explanatory, but could someone tell me what the story behind the "Inline" nickname is?

The Home's are on NDC, but says it's out of stock. Does nike always do this when a shoe is about to release?
