I don't see how anybody can say the Kobe Vs have great grip.....by far one of the worst traction patterns I have ever played in.....I play on pretty clean courts indoors and I was sliding all over the place, plus the jagged edges on the rubber makes swiping them suck lol. The VIs had better...
Having played in the LBJ 8s, Kobe Vis, and the Hyperdunk 2011s, I would say the LBJ 8s were by far the worst out of the three.....I'm a 6'0" 160 lb perimeter player so I prefer light, quick shoes......playing in the Lebrons was like playing in boots. They were very stifff due to the 360 air bag...
These are some of the worst "signature" shoes I have seen maybe ever. They look like they're made of melted crayons and are not even remotely comfortable.
