OFFICIAL: ZOOM KOBE V THREAD : UPDATE ON PG.1 RELEASE DATES

[wyse23]

^Nice picture of the BS Aways Marley. May have finally encouraged me to spend the dough and get a pair.

VI's are getting better with all these releases lately, but V still > VI at this point.

I wish I had gotten 2 B grades, but oh well, gonna be beatin' these up outdoors anyway

C = Clearence, not c-grade. Clearence outlets like Viejas usually mark a C on the shoe tag and box

 

[thaolor]

Ahh...I wasn't sure what to think because it on the size tag it had a backwards B in blue ink and then a C in red ink.

 

[xsalvioutlawx]

Yea, I kinda thought the same way when I bought some shoes from Viejas, but I figured it out myself eventually lol.

That wrinkle on the flywire is common among V's, I don't think it has anything to do with them being B-Grade.

These are my first pair of Kobes ever I'm glad they were the USC's I was looking every where for them and got them for $120 I'm pumped
When I first got them I was excited 

First time wearing them they are so light and comfortable

Can't wait to wear this together 

Now I need to break out my marcus allen throwback 

 

[kobeoverbron]

USCs looking good!

 

[s dubl]

white laces>yellow laces in the uscs

 

[petenthend]

nice good pickup, where did you get em at!?

 

[deionandmelo]

def white laces in the USC imo

 

[klasssickfresh 87]

TB's from Eastbay

 

[kg21]

So I was at the Nike Store this past week and on the shelf some ID Vs and ID VIs are right next to each other.

Hands down the V is the better looking shoe. I mean I like the VI, own the Grinches and plan on getting a few more pairs, but the Vs are so much better looking. I think they'll have longevity whereas the VI with the gimmick scales will fall by the wayside after this season.

 

[haydenhouser]

Nice USCs up there^ Making me want a pair.. and for that price!!

I like the look of the Vs better. I have pros and cons for each shoe. I just hope they keep innovating and never settling...

 

[phx sizzle13]

heads up, usc's on shoezoo for $99.
got mine in the other day. possible b-grade?

anyway, i'm still glad i got them. got the rices from them as well and they seemed fine.

 

[hood17]

Man I just copped them as well. You see any flaws on them?

 

[phx sizzle13]

they seem perfect other than the stitching along the heel area.

 

[jman8811]

Is Shoezoo legit? They still have the "miles davis" V's too...might pull the trigger on these. This could be too good to be true......

 

[phx sizzle13]

my small collection

camera died so phone pics it is

 

[petenthend]

Yeah I found that site to and just put my order in, hopefully they are because then this might be my last V add ons lol. I'll show photos once i get mine, those above don't look like B-grades though to me.

 

[ppeter]

outlet had inlines, usa's, pop's, inks, and del sols for pretty much $99 + tax. FSR too.

double up?

 

[playaproved]

USC and White/Black TBs looking fresh up there. I may have to finally bite the bullet and cop a pair of USC while the prices are where they are.

 

[kob8]

Debating on picking up the inlines for $75 or del sols for $99 at the outlet...
Liking both colorways but can pick up one.....
Which cw is nicer in your opinion?

 

[v1nsanity3]

^For the price, I'd go inline.
I got my del sol for 60 bucks before the VI came out. so for 99 is over my limit for them.

 

[nike4kja05]

quick question.

how much do DS Bruce Lees sz. 8.5 go for? I'm still looking for a pair.

 

[thaolor]

I'm with Vinsanity, I wouldn't pay $100 for the Del Sols. Keep hunting, they can be found at an outlet for $60.

this is the sz10.5 link, check out the seller, he has more.

For B-grades?... Still pass! if you have luck, you can even get them for $300 or less for A-grade!

Wonder where that Re-seller cop B-grade! Need a damn pair. SMH at the prices!
