just posting the pics.
can you tell the difference in the heel clip area?

here's some help

i drew some straight lines to show how off the heel clip is from one another. and i drew circles to show how off the length of the heel area is between the heel clip and upper layers.

deciding right now whether to try my luck with ndc or eastbay on another pair or to just be done with the 7s for good and wait for the nike+ basketball lineup.

I don't understand what's wrong.

the end of the CF is longer on the right shoe than the left shoe.

Those PEs are nice!!! Purple swoosh, nice! I like how the gold flywire adds a touch to make them look like a Laker cw.

Maybe because those go with the Laker uniforms? Not sure, but that's the only reason I can think of.

[la kb24]

with those who have the elites...you think it was worth it?


i might get the black pair tomorrow

 

[Kobekobe]

the PEs are plain and you guys only want them cause you can't have them 

 

[earvinkobe24]

I really love the new "FADE" options in NIKE ID. Hoping they would release this type of CWs as GR like what they did to ZK 6(blue gradient)

 

[crh1979]

The VII Elites just aren't all that, no CW can save them, just my 2 cents.

          home elites are nice but i would've copped these than those. the swoosh reminds me of the cloaks cw.

 

[thapointguy]

Metallic purple is nice but there's not enough of it. Pretty lackluster. Nothing new from Nike.

i wore them today. absolutely love them. couldnt stop looking at them (was kind of embarassing lol).
understand people's complaints about the price tag. not going to argue that point. simple case of if you can afford them and you want them then cop them. if the price tag is greater than the value you place on them then pass or wait for them to go on sale.

fantastic shoe. love the use of the kevlar, CF, and material from the Kobe VI. the elite pack is in a class of its own.

          maybe its the shade of gold? they can't use "real gold" shade that resembles the champ trophy?

The CF is clearly not aligned between left and right pair. I know some shoes will have discrepancies, but owner said that the shoes also feel different between left and right.

Ditto. Would've copped both.

These REALLY make the released elites look like garbage. I wudv copped these above.

Should have just gone with this. At least it is more consistent with the VII line instead of looking like the VI. And it just looks way better than what came out.

Is nike trying to slowly wean us off the kobe line?

  

 

[urn0tlike]

Everything about those sample elites is better than the released paid except the carbon fiber. That checkerboard color looks awful. All black cf is needed.

I think if you're willing to spend the money then yes they are worth it

 

[Nipsey3000]

elites are nice!

 

[thapointguy]

Does the full length zoom feel any different than the play strongs?
