wow this post is crazy nerdy bro.

How did you know about the chemical composition though? Does that explain why the KD4s glow brighter?

Haha! Undergrad & medical school, bro. You truly learn a lot of random crap...
As for knowing the compositions, I just deduced the hues of the soles themselves. Strontium aluminate gives off green & aqua hues while products containing zinc sulfide are usually diluted with other substances to be more cost effective. That's why you can place all three in the sun for the exact amount of time and the KDs will out-glow and outlast the other two...

Did I just read and understand your post correctly...? You saw Kobe Elites for $150 + tax?...

I don't mind someone saying they got a good deal on some kicks but at least if you're going to talk about it then you don't reply where you got them from if someone asked you is trash.. don't say anything at all then.

^One of the best cw's and they didn't even release here in the US

...really hope Nike goes back to giving us better cw's with the VIII like they did with the V and VI

....the VII's had sooo much potential

I definitely appreciate the scientific breakdown. Now the question is why would Nike do that? Shouldn't they have made it all the same type so it can flow brighter?

Its true though

 they need to see that cw's make the shoes. I had 12 pairs of the VI vs 3 in the VII. Lebron and KD took my money this year
I need those YOTD's 

 

[kingofkicks805]

yeah kobe line was terrible, performance mostly. some cool colorways, i only copped the cloaks and all star galaxies. the rest i didn't like. the cheetahs r ok but i have the grinches from the 6 and i kind of compared them so i didnt like the cheetah that much to keep it
