Although I do agree about the traction (I would have preferred herringbone myself) I have to disagree on everything else. The lockdown is better on the V especially because of that achilles pad that keeps your foot in the heel cup. I also think the stability feel of the shoe is better. The base is wider on the V than the IV so I like the cutting stability much better. Eh to each his ownOriginally Posted by PR baller 23
Ive worn the Kobe 5s now about 15 times and I have to say the Kobe 4s are better!! I have both, Ive got 4 pairs of 4s, an 1 pair of 5s. The 4s are way more comfortable, and they lock your foot down alot better. I found my foot slides on the hardest of cuts. I dont have skinny feet, My feet fill out shoes well. The traction on the 4s is better for sure. The 4s take a couple wearing for the traction to be at its best. The 5s have good traction, but on the harshest of cuts my feet slide out everytime, it suck!!!!. the only things that she 5s have on the 4s is that they are lighter and lower. I like the Low cut, an I love the weight, but the 4s are the best shoe I have ever worn. I wish the 4s cushioning would last longer, cause its the most amazing shoe I have ever worn.
Super durable. But I heard that some peoples' Kobe V's have chipped on the sole. I've never balled in the Kobe V myself, but I have danced, partied, ran, and even worked in them and they still look great.Originally Posted by chaose57

They just feel so minimal it feels like my foot would just rip right through the side on a hard cut.
Im just looking to see how you guys feel about the minimal material used on the shoe. I really cant get over how thin it feels. But im sure nike didnt design a sig shoe that people are just going to rip right through.
It's small for a reason. Kobe wanted it that way because he feels he loses split seconds or something if it's too cushioned under the ball of the foot.Originally Posted by mt3130

nike could use legitimate forefoot cushion. the zoom air in the front of this shoe is the size of a nickel.
