Oh okay, maybe... I've never seen a white upper yellow from sweat before but I guess EM might be a good candidate for that.

Do you mean durability wise or just keeping them clean? The EM is surprisingly durable. If you wanna keep that upper clean, Jason Markk that sh*t!

The VIs were probably the most comfortable to me... Until the 8 came out. I found the heel fit sloppy on the VIs and actually slipped out of them a couple times on court (happened to Kobe during a game too if you remember?). Using a runners loop helped the heel fit but they don't fit anything...

Probably mean the same thing. This is the toe box on my inline Vs. These are replacements of the same model replaced for cracking/rip through on the same spot + a good 3 inch rip by the swoosh on the lateral side of foot. I mean performance wise it doesn't effect it but who wants a...

1st post here. Read through most of thread (aside for the non-sneaker stuff from the last few pages). Big fan of the Kobe line since the IVs but limit my purchases to one a season (strictly for indoor ball). Excited about what I'm seeing with the VIIIs so far but I've got some questions on the...
