IMO the Kobe V wouldn't be your type of shoe even if it was somewhat more durable. I think they are more for finesse type player maybe. I'm thinking you might be a more power type player in which the Lebron line would be more suitable. I could be totally wrong, just guessing after seeing your size.Originally Posted by rayban776
Well, I am 6"4, 249. I workout with certain professional athletes in their off season, then maintaining top physical condition year round. I bench 395, then squat 405.
3rd....if the Kobe V was so bad and you hate kobe so much, why did it take you 3 pairs to quit the shoe???come on bro something aint right lol
Yeah I hate Kobe, but still rate the Kobe 1 as one of my favorite shoes of all-time to play in. I guess I hate the player, but not the game...? Lol.
Anyway, I liked the look and feel of the 4 well enough to use it regularly for the last year, and was drawn to the cool aesthetics of the 5. However, even with the lunarcrap bottoming out in the 4, I still found it to be a far more durable and, dare I say superior, hoops shoe. Plus, something about the slightly higher cut of the 4 always made me feel more confident about driving to the hoop in traffic or going for a contested rebound. Probably completely psychological, but still an advantage for me.
However, I have to say that I'm a bigger fan of both the KD2 and Hyperfuse for bball than the Kobe IV or V. Hyperfuse is an incredible shoe, and at a retail price of $100, I highly recommend everyone give it a try.
Adidas supernatural creators, and I am having no such problems with this shoe
Not to get off the Kobe V subject, but how might the Supernatural Creators be for a lighter player who likes to use his quickness for cutting and slashing as apposed to the power forward type game.
But at 130 dollars a pop, a shoe should be able to last a bit longer than a few games
That would be nice!
^what's the cushion set up for the hyperfuse?
I think its Zoom in the forefoot and a full cushlon midsole, like the KD2. While no Zoom or Air in the heel might turn some people off, cushlon looks like it may be an adequate substitute.
Also, the I think the ventilation on the Hyperfuse is really nice, almost like a Free running shoe.
Supernatural Creators be for a lighter player who likes to use his quickness for cutting and slashing as apposed to the power forward type game.
I think Derrick Rose used them all or most of last season, and he isn't a very big dude... I know that Tony Allen also rocked them throughout the playoffs, and he can't be bigger than like 6'4", 220ish.

The creators are a light, but very supportive and low to the ground hoops shoe. What allows a player like myself to wear it, is the quality build of the shoe. It is built to last, and for lighter and quicker players, it is the top of the line in regard to protection and then maneuverability at the same time. It is non restrictive, then feels as if it is an extension of the foot, as the pods on the bottom are similar to the old "feet you wear" set up that kobe used to wear when he was with Adidas.

"ZKV's are my favorite shoe to ball in but I'm not a fan of this... worn only 10-12 times, indoors only."
Oh hell no. I'm thinking of trading for a pair of Kobe V POPs, but after seeing this. Man.
$130 shoes with issues like this? Ridiculous seems to be the right word.
Good point. No, they don't. Lots of people I've talked to at the gym swear by these shoes, and that counts for a lot. And I still want to get a pair, but I'll probably wait and stay away from clear soled colorways.Originally Posted by Crazy EBW
