Ah, thanks for the info. Big fan of the Kobe 5, so this definitely sounds right up my alley. I definitely think I'll have to get a pair. Unfortunately I'm in Canada so I'll be waiting a little longer to get a decent price on it. Jordan's generally never get discounted here, the CP VI and AE are still full price somehow. Ah well, more time to see what kind of colorways will roll out. Gotta say, though I still prefer the black Bel Air, the purple one is creeping up on me.
I've only played in mine a few time, but I can say that the cushioning does need a bit of a break in. From the first try-on I wasn't so sure that I'd be impressed, but it was quite the opposite after I played in them. After a little break-in, the podulite works in good harmony with the met zoom unit.
I really enjoy this cushioning setup -- it reminds me of the Kobe V/VI setup but with a bit more response due to the podulite and larger TPU shank.
In terms of committing now, I'd say only if you have a coupon or can find them marked down, which you should be able to. Got my black/white bel airs for 99 shipped.
