^ Concords look AMAZING. What the del sols were to the vi's, the concords are to the vii's. If I skip on these Xs this weekend, then I'll pick these up instead.

I have most of VIs cause it was just a great execution by Nike

But the VIIs are really growing on me.......so it looks like Im gonna bite the bullet and buy the Xmas, Sharks & Wolfs

i'll post a more extensive review in the future but i just got back from playing in the play fast midsoles.
all i gotta say is omgwtf it was so painful to play in! i didn't tie my shoes any differently than i normally do and yet the lateral side of the bottom of my feet were screaming in pain.
i had to keep loosening and loosening my laces to be able to walk on the court after the first game. doing that also cause some heel slippage which sucked.
maybe i'm used to playing lower in the 5's and having the shoe mold to my feet in the 6's because the 7's keep me ice skating at times i never skated before.
playing in the 7's puts my feet higher than i've grown accustomed to in the past couple years.
so i'm gonna give my 7's a rest for now until the end of the month.

btw, played strong twice and fast once. imo so far it's 6>5>7 play strong>7 play fast. and i'm talking about performance.

Seriously debating IDing a black tongue/white shozoku with the cushlon/lunarlon insole and just using them with the del sols and concords. I just can't vibe with that damn wrap!

 

[tcman5190]

damn i'm gonna need to get concords

 

[onlitwo]

concords look good...especially with play strong INSERT

 

[kobeoverbron]

here...

this bag is so comfy. I really like the subtle detailing, it's perfect.
don't like the concords. Will probably get the big bangs and wait
for better colorways to drop.

the Lakers are a mess. smfh

how big is that back pack exactly? id love to get that for the gym but doesnt looks like i can fit my shoes, clothes, and ball in there

 

[ekbenzo]

looks like Kobe doesn't like to "play strong".I think I only saw him where the strong 2-3x

Rocked mine to hoop to try something different with the strong strap on. You have to wear higher socks its not an option. my low cut socks were horrible once my legs started to sweat with the lotion I had on and began to itch like your wearing high socks but can't bunch them down. Sort of disappointed in that after playing so much in the 6's. Going to try the fast insoles but I didn't bring them with me tonight. Anyone who hopped and had sweat had the salt or sweat lines start to build around the strap? That would be bad. Like an old baseball hat.

will not fit a ball. shoes definitely. two shoes will fit perfectly with tons of space left.
They're Medium/28 Liters
more or less 1.5 feet in length. It's spacious for its size.

might have to look into it, hate the big gym bag i have. this would be much better and looks GOOOD

Nice pics....I want this too...

 

[kobeoverbron]

set me back $80 if you convert it. RMK has them waaaaaaaaaay cheaper even after shipping. oh well.

When will Kobe wear a different CW???
is this like how Jordan did back then? Just two
CWs the entire year. If that's the case, I will
be getting the del sols for cheap eventually.

[josh24]

Honestly I've played in Kobe iv, v, vi, and recently vii. I am a huge kobe fan (being from DT LA) and a fan of his shoes (I currently own 60pairs). Honestly for the price/quality/performance of the kobe vii these are the worst shoes hes ever put out! I don't have a pair in my collection which have came apart after playing in them once! Or one that looks so poorly put together that I had to take scissors to... When I got my cheetah pairs I had to fix the air bubble, and I had to take scissors to the knitting? (sorry for my bad descriptions) and just recently my shoes falling apart after one game!? (like others on this board) The only reason why I'm still going buy some of these new CW is because of the originality of them (ie shark big bang) and because I believe Kobe is not entirely responsible for how these sneakers hold up. But despite all the hype on this forum for these sneakers I am not BLIND and I can clearly see that these are nowhere near worth 180 bucks let alone 200... I'm so disappointed in NIKE right now, I just want shoes to go back to the quality of the Kobe IV for a price/performance of the Kobe IV, *$^@ Nike Greediness!

 

[shoexfreak]

Yeah, I agree with you Josh. I played in my VIIs a few times and went back to unDS my IVs to play in those.
