OFFICIAL: NIKE KD VI - "WTKD" 6/14

[Van Nostrand]

 
What CWs have been confirmed for the KD Elites besides the initial blue/orange and the Spring green?

642838-100 White/Metallic Gold-Platinum Black 6/6/2014

I don't wanna speak to soon, but I anticipate they will not go quickly and may even sit.  The higher price will scare some away.

Part of me thinks I need to chill on them for a few months until markdown.  Knowing me I'll be too anxious to test them out... 

 

haha i feel you, hope you're right about them sitting. Don't know why people are complaining about pricing yet they have no problem dropping crazy money on the Kobe 9's. 

Still got a while till release date, we'll see if I still feel the same way I feel now about the shoe rather then getting all hyped up from reading and seeing pics of it.

Yeah this should be one of those releases where you should be able to wait and see how they perform.  Wait for a couple performance reviews.

Although apparently KD doesn't want to take them off 

 

[jfgmoney]

It could. FNL has done it with their recent AJ11 releases.The real question is does care enough to do so.

Thats not true my cousin works at finish line and he says people who spend the most money get the 11s
So it will never be fair but from a business stand point I dont see why nike would cancel orders I wouldnt care as long as the shoes get sold so be it

^I'm personally extremely curious about these elites performance-wise.  That max zoom got me like 

I already love the regular VI, so these are a must for me.  Stability is my main concern with that huge unit underneath though

I am curious as well.  It looks like they used mesh on the upper, so that should definitely shed some weight and make the shoe more breathable.  

One thing I worry about the Max Zoom: Since it sits high up, it may be more prone to ankle rolling, espcially since the KD VI is already a low top.  

I do want to try them on, and if the price is right (Not gonna pay $200 for these), I will buy a pair and try it out.

Honestly as a smaller player (guard) I'm not a fan of the full length air unit. I rely of speed and quickness so I prefer a stiffer midsole. These would be great for a bigger player who needs the cushioning. Great feel for casual wear I'm sure though.

Okay y'all are takin this too far, either you gone hoop in or you aint

 

[laokratwr]

everyone still stuck on the florals no love for the Elites? 

STILL stuck?They havent released in the states yet bruh...

Im not a fan of max air in lows just not a shoe id ball in.

not a fan of max air either but this is max zoom which apparently plays a little different.  Haven't tried it myself so I can't say

I will cop the blue elites to try them out. Watermelon color is a pass. If I like the blues...whites sound interesting

Tongue has the WP "Wanda Pratt" heart logo so I'm thinking maybe not the Easters. Good spot though.

no elites for me

Yea Ive played in the lebron Xs quite a bit the zoom max is a good system but I just dont like 360 max air in low tops.

You have no clue huh. Go do your hw before you try to clown. There is a difference in performance between the max air vs zoom air.

For the full 30 seconds before the Wanda Pratt logo was pointed out, I was ecstatic that those were possibly the Easters. That color scheme is sooo dope.

 

[ratchet]

Anyone actually plan on getting the elites ?

I do.
