Pics do not do this shoe justice, its just one of those you just have to see, but it does remind me of the SS 8's, but way better, it a very detailed shoe

I say that's a solid price -- and thank you for posting this! Made me check for VIs and just paid for a DS pair of royal TBs for 130 shipped
The more I hoop in everything, the more I think to myself I need to pick up more Vs and VIs while I still can.

How much you think these re-sellers copped them for. Looking like probably 59.99 at a ross or marshalls. Would Nike Factory store be selling them this cheap?

Do the 6 crease up like how the 7's do? Looks like they use the same material just different pattern.

I'm sure they could get lucky at shops like that and who knows. Certain sellers have their ways of securing stock that's maybe sat in some outlet somewhere that they came across. Last I checked with my outlet, all VIs were done -- only VIIs left.
Pay what you feel is best, but imo -- any VI around retail is good with me. The shoe is just a solid all around performer with a more longevity than the lunar setups of today.

VIs and VIIs are totally different materials, but I wouldn't say either of them really "crease" like retro Js - for example - do. The VIs are much less stiff out of the box than the VIIs.
Overtime all the VIs I've ever played in ripped on the sides of the upper near the midsole though. Still a great shoe that I'm always on the hunt for, for the right price.

Yeah the VIIs are noticeably stiffer than the VIs. The upper on the VIs don't really crease in the traditional sense, but I guess you'd see them change in shape over time if you ball in or wear them a lot. Midsole creasing is probably the noticeable sign of wear.

6s haven't been in stores for a long time, the Kobe signature shoe line is onto the 9s now.
Your best bet is Ebay and other places online.

Thanks, just glad I was finally able to acquire my grails. Kobe VI Barcelona in the Mango colorway.
VIs are by far my favorite Kobe model.
I can retire now.
