anyway, i'm still glad i got them. got the rices from them as well and they seemed fine.
oh no...
i never know about this site...
i paid my mile davis a month ago for $150... cuz retail price+CA tax+shipping... sigh
and i just paid my USC $140 on eBay 3 days ago... i thought USC so hard to find now...
man... not cool, not cool
and by the way, that stitches problem isn't really a product defects... so i think yr pair is not b-grade. no worries.
some Vs from retailers are having that kind of stitches

Inlines. Only thing is that they easily get dirty near the swoosh area.

Almost a year after their releases, all these kobe V's are showing up at outlets. So it's really just a matter of time before it ends up in random stores and people buying and reselling them. These people could be NTers that aren't telling anyone or just people who jus resell and aren't part of the community.

^Look at some sneaker retailer sites. I read some guy got a pair of BLs from footalog just recently. Otherwise just be patient on eBay.

Remember that dude who rewrote the definition of "b" grades? This is his reply to me:
"Dear mj,
let me guess....you're yet another "nike expert" because you have 40 or 50 pairs of nikes...lol!!......these are not B grades as i explained.....having worked for nike for 14 plus years, let me school you on what B grades are.......nike has 3 reasons for putting B on a shoe.....the first is a large B with a circle around it with red coloring....this is for cosmetic defects or flaws such as excessive glue, discoloration, yellowing, etc.....the second is a large B with a square around it in black coloring....this is for structure defects such as soft air bouble, sized wrong, stitching, etc.......the third which is what these are is done right here in memphis or in oregon at the other distribution center is for "buy backs" or "vendor returns"...meaning, the retailer could not sell them so nike bought them back....these shoes are usually found in nike clearence stores and the B is written by a regular local employee with a pen....this is done so that the shoe doesn't wind up back to nike for a return or exchange from a customer....other than the box, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the shoe.
like i said i have worked for nike a long time and selling nike for the past 3 years.....i have heard it all for the "experts".....way too much mis-information out there.........i hope that cleared things up for you"
Any "expert" can confirm this? Haha...

my xpert opinion is he needs a new hobby, ask not what rod can dew 4 u, ask what u can dew 4 rod !
i got a pair of id's from deionandmelo (many many many thanks), all del sol with speckles and a white scoosh border. i gotta say they are the most beautiful things i have ever seen. i thoght it couldnt get better than the V rings, but it did
if i could have every pair of a specific Kobe line it would DEF be the V's. they are tha GOAT

For others with both the 5's and the 6's would you agree?Originally Posted by Zyzz

Still on the fence about coping the 6's, I asked the same question in that thread recently but got no feedback.

i agree grittyman. V's have better traction, and they seem like an extension of your foot rather than a shoe yer puttin on. there is just a 'natural' feel about the V's, just my .02

i personally believe the Vs are more responsive than the 6. The 6 are cushier but i think that takes away from the responsiveness. plus i dont think the 6 fit better than the 5s, i have a couple of pairs of the 6s and have been playing in those now and personally prefer the 5s.

my feet feel much better in the V's than the VI's along with more tight on the foot. very good traction, i also like the shape and feel of them. ive had other friends who ball 24/7 and had both shoes tell me they like the V's better as well.

Opposite for me, although I haven't tried in my V's yet. I wonder how the insoles from the VI's inside of these would feel
I wish I could find some Away Aces somewhere for a decent price
