I gotta agree with you on this one. I used to rotate through Kobe III, IV, the Hyperdunk, and my V's. Now I grab my V's everytime.

Sorry, we are not told about any future price drops/sales. Best thing to do is just keep checking the website for any updates.

i swear... every other shoe is stupid to me now... F'n pointless to be honest. Love these 5s.
I'm glad the 6s have the same zoom set up.

I can wear the 4s and 5s casually and not feel like I am wearing a "hoops specific" shoe. For hoops, I really have tried other stuff in the last year (i.e KD2, Lebron 6, various Jordans, hyperfuse,etc..) and nothing holds a candle to the 5s. I have to say though, From a casual aspect, I cannot see wearing the 6 much at all. The textured look and the overall profile look much bulkier than the 5 which looks more like a soccer boot than a basketball shoe. I am sure that certain colorways will be alluring for the 6, but I really think that in terms of an all around shoe- casual, hoops, performance( aside from outdoor courts ), that the 5 is pretty ridiculous and will be considered an instant classic moving forward. I think the same may be said about the 4 as well, but there isnt nearly the lockdown feel in the 4 that you get with the 5. It feels like you are thoroughly supported in the ankle area without having a bunch of material around your ankle like you would from a high top or even 3/4 top shoe.

Spot on, and agreed with Edwin as well. Every day I wind up grabbing one of my Kobe V's.. They are so damn comfortable, can be worn casually, and my number 1 gym choice amongst my over 100 pairs... Suffice to say, I have never loved a shoe so much , and who would have thought most of us would have wound up with 10+ pairs? 20+ pairs? I would have said you guy's are crazy, and now look... hah
I do have to say though, the Hyperfuse is my basketball shoe choice... I just feel more comfortable mentally I guess with the little higher ankle support, Kobe's when I used them were always stout performers though and I had not one ankle issue!

Regular clear soles would have been best on the inks IMO, but I don't mind the purple translucent.

Agreed BSs are a must if you have the chance to get em. Big ups to the man for holding me down for my aways! You know who you are.
As for the 5 rings, they're not the best colorway by far. But what they symbolize, and I have the 4 rings I felt I needed em. Sheikhs having em for sale while I just happened to be out today (which is rare for me to be out during the week) made it an easier decision. All in all, I'm glad I got em, and now am officially done with Vs.
