Man those are perfect. I can't see a single thing to gripe about. By far the best cw I've seen of the 7 to date.

I appreciate the art and what it represents but I'm sorry, the last pic confirms how hideous they are with the artwork all over the upper. The outsole is the best part though. I'll be rocking my BHM VI today to get over what I have just seen.

Yeah, way too much going on with those BHMs. I'll be getting those Jellyfishes, though. Time for a thread update soon - anyone got any release dates for anything coming up in general?

Those Vs were a true Bruce Lee shoe to me.
That said...thinking about it a little more, I might have to take back what I said about doubting a Bruce Lee shoe. I can actually see them spinning Bruce Lee into the YOTD colorway by saying the fight scene from Way of the Dragon (AKA "Return of the Dragon") between him and Chuck Norris was set in the Colosseum in Rome, Italy (lot of that movie was filmed there). It's already been said that the inspiration for the colors used for the YOTD colorway come directly from the Italian flag and Kobe's love for Chinese kung fu & kung fu movies filmed in the country:
Kobe Bryant appreciates Chinese culture, in particular Chinese Kung Fu. The quest for agility and speed has been integrated into his own athletic art. Drawing inspiration from Kobe’s Italian root and Kung Fu movies filmed in that country, the design team rendered NIKE KOBE VII SYSTEM SUPREME with the signature tri-color of Italy. NIKE KOBE VII SYSTEM SUPREME comes with a cushion printed with Kobe’s exclusive golden Logo, a statement of invincibility. The matrix design on the upper is a special code, spelling the message for Kobe. With his signature and an animated dragon pattern on the counter, this design is impeccable for the Chinese new year.)

Boom...Bruce Lee connection & Nike's probably just starting to milk that by mentioning "Return of the Dragon" in that little tweet.
And yes, I'm kind of a Bruce Lee fan lol
Understood. I didn't know what you meant at 1st but I got you now. Yeah I would guess it's a very loose connection if there's any at all but it being the year of the dragon I'm just glad they did something different than the KD and Lebron.

so it looks like the jellyfish are a regular pair ($140) compared to $180?
and the BHM would look better with an all black upper, white swoosh and just the details on the sole and lining
but those look ugly cause there's too much going on.
edit ....
looks like the lebrons are exactly how the kobe's should have looked in my opinion

Now we know what can be done design-wise for the upper, I hope iD adds more options.

BHMs remind me of this obey hat I have. I'll pass on them tho, they're easily the worst vii we've seen to date.

I think I'm probably the only person that would prefer a Red ASG shoe like the Vs and VIIs, than this Big Bang Gimmick.. Not saying that I dislike the Big Bangs, just dont like them as the official ASG shoe..
