I very appriecate the info, however I gotta say this. Those with the actual picture or pictures of the shoes telling people who have NOT seen the shoe and really want to see the shoe "to chill", are NO different then the people with crazy amounts of money telling people, "money means nothing" or "money isn't everything" or politicians who like to tell people "just hold on a little longer during this economic downfall" (for the past 10 years) or like MOST of these RAP artist (specially these NEW ones) who call out "the man" on every song on their first CD, but once they get commercial and big, become that VERY SAME man with the same mentality towards others, even toward the FANS who supported them. Point is you were once in the same postion as those who are asking to see the shoe, so cut people some slack and again remember YOU were once there yaself. Just so we are ALL CLEAR, NO I am NOT saying that you should jeopardize ones career with Nike (specially since now MOST of the people workng there have NO clue whats going on but think they are God's gift to anyone who wants shoes or info on shoes), just more so suggesting that you should think before you try to diss people asking to see the pics. As for me I look forward to see what Nike/Kobe have instore, but for now I will enjoy the MANY other pairs of shoes. Peace.
