Agreed, this may help some users with the discomfort... last night I played in both the XXX and the XX9 lows in a game (switched at half time) , and in terms of fit/support, I'm going to half to go with the XXX. It just kept my shoes feeling more secure than the XX9 lows. the XX9 has excellent...

I got a chance to play in the XXX over the weekend, I was able to get about 4-5 hours of play in them, and I can tell you the shoes are pretty solid! (if you don't have any heel issues)  Compared to the XX9 lows (I have two pairs that I've been playing in for the two months extensively), there...

He's saying there is no correlation. Quote: Jordan price increase is because they can, because people still buy their products even with the price increase. a perfect example would be the air Jordan 29's... last years model was $220? and from what I heard and seen in the stores, these didn't...

I only quoted you because I agree with you =) i was just reiterating what you were saying. and by limited release I mean, once they are sell out, shoes don't usually get restocked... hence the "somewhat" limited release... so once their gone, they are gone, unless nike decides to re-release...

Simple economics "supply and demand" - low supply + demand = higher cost. since the retro's are usually somewhat of a limited release, the demand for retro shoes are much higher than the new Jordan's, this all leads to a higher cost for the shoes.

any idea when the 30's are releasing in Canada? I know they are releasing at the Jordan store in Toronto (306 YONGE), but i just called my local house of hoops here in Calgary and they don't even have a release date?

i hear you... everyone's preference is different. I've also played extensively with the Kobe X and curry 2 and those are pretty responsive, and those shoes still provide much more cushioning. So if i were to compare the kyrie 2 shoe to those shoes, the kyrie 2 has significantly less cushion ...

I agree with what AZP traction and lockdown is great. Definitely a step up from last years model (the 1's traction was one of the worst traction shoe I've ever had in a very long time). my only gripe with these shoes is the cushion, or rather, the lack thereof. The cushion feel extremely thin...

I agree, ive had mine for about 3 weeks now, and ive probably put close to 10-15hours of bball time in them. Traction is top notch Cushion - is plush and responsive (very low to the ground) For the price, they are a really good shoe. These are probably my "go-to-shoe" in my rotation ATM.

I have balled in both and here is my comparisons, Fit/Stability  - 5>6elite - i found the the fit of the 5 are overall better. the 5s have a better 1to1 feeling. Grip - 5=6 - the grip performs VERY VERY similar to each other. I can't tell the difference. Comfort/Cushion - 6elite>5 - the...

i posted my review a few pages back http://niketalk.com/t/534846/official-nike-kd-vi-hero-elite-5-9/19680#post_20400249

i wear a 10.5 in my Kobe's and lebrons, and i wear a 10.5 in the KD 6 elites. Mind you, i have wide/flat feet.

here is my quick performance review for the KD 6 Elite after playing in the shoes for about 6+ hours (4bball games and 1 shoot around). Traction - 8/10 - Solid - ive played on really clean courts, and some semi clean courts and the grip of the shoe is pretty solid. Its very very similar to the...
