Received my Del Sols this morning....BY FAR, the best fitting edition yet. I also find the traction better than the V's. This shoe fits like a glove....bring on more colorways!

Depending on availability, i dont see any of the non-hoh exlcusive selling out. I think we all learned we can wait on gr cause most v's are still available for under 100 and most even hit outlets.

^ New pictures of the concords (via Eastbay) look sweet. I will definitely be getting those. I hope they do look more white/concord in person, rather than greyish and concord. We shall see.

Overall I'd give them an 8/10
Last year I purchased a 10 in my V's and did the same with these. Although the toe box is slightly more compact it wasn't a problem for me. Note I wear 3 pair of socks when I play.
Traction: Traction was actually better than I expected. Given the pattern on the bottom I didn't have much confidence but I was able to make good cuts and slash to the basket without any slippage.
Comfort: In my opinion the comfort was a big step down from the V. I prefer softer cushioning and the VI is pretty stiff our of the box. Before it was all said and done I ended up switching back to my POP V's. The zoom in the heel is a little more stiff than last years and so is the forefoot but overall still pretty comfortable.

Stability: Big improvement from last year. The VI really locks your foot down, I had a few slippage problems with my V's but your foot is pretty much locked in the shoe. The lacing system and the embedded flywire on these make for a great fit. No complaints and felt extremely confident when driving to the basket that my heel wasn't going to slip. Happened a few times in my V's.
Court feel: Good court feel, not the ZKIV or V but still good.
Weight: Feather light. good job of keeping the weight down.
Durability: these should last you a pretty long time especially if you're like me and you have a rotation. No creases although I had a few scuffs. overall still a good shoe. looking forward to the concords.
I like your mini review. I agree with your comparison with the V. My foot would also slip laterally in the V, and ZERO movement in the VI.

put on the del sols, these are snug like the V but have more cushioning like the IV.

The damn thing actually works. I kept cracking up when the damn old lady was hanging from my arm! She was pressing down my arm and sort of had me off balance most of the time. Once I put that on I kept telling myself (bull****) and then she began to lean on my arm and ended up hanging onto it. Yeah I was off balance when she was on it but there was actually a difference.
But hell no I'm not paying 35$ for one.

thanks for that.
however, they did say you need to play a few hours in them so the insoles can "mold to your foot". that could be why it was stiff.

I was feeling the LAs when I first saw the Marqueesole pics, not so much after the recent pics. Not sure if I'll go after them. Glass Blues, Chaos, and the Rice VI are next on my hit list. I'll probably go ahead and cop the Del-Sols if Eastbay cancels my order the Green Mambas.

All these Kobes, plus Jordan Retros (3s, 13s & 7s), not to mention the Nike Free Run 2. My wife is going to kill me. PLUS I am running out of space in my cubicle to hide all these dang shoes. LOL!Originally Posted by s dubl
oh but it will besaturate the market, dudes will be choosier on what they purchase and shoes will sit and go on sale, or at least be available later for purchase.

When is Eastbay, and by extension the customers, getting them? Wouldn't think it would be this tough to get info. Suggestion-Eastbay exec. picks up a phone, calls Nike "hey, where are the shoes we ordered and when are we getting them so we can update our customers?"

Never understood this, if you are good financially, why would the wife be on you?
As long as the mortgage/rent is on time, and those bills are already paid for, why not treat yourself...
