Ventilation? Also, maybe act as a shock absorber for the heel? Just some thoughts.

The other site is saying those concords are supremes at 180.

Visible flywire, lets see the other colorways before i make a statement on that.

C'mon guys do you really think they are going to force everyone who wants to sport this shoe to have to wear the ankle strap?  We know there is going to be a supreme version (or colorways) of the shoe, so either the more expensive model will come with a non removable ankle strap or the ankle strap will be removable.  Quit your whining!

Can't wait to see more colorways, I already know my pockets are going to be torched with the VII, the VI is already an after thought.

its quite clear from the pics that this is the case so far.

I had a long post ready to go but decided against that.. Anyone else besides me laughing at the fact that without any Kobe association, these would get laughed at? I guess we've been saying that for years, and continually, Nike has pushed out sub par shoes, essentially dressing up mediocre models, and turning them into HITS. I just look to the past where someone posts up a sample of a obscure model coming out in 8 months, and they get laughed at, and then ignored. It's mind boggling why Kobe's or Lebron's haven't gotten that same treatment

YES!, unless you don't mind having laces wrap on the top of your foot....

The cutouts in the back do look like they are for ventilation....and they also give you a huge boost forward when you jump up and down since the air is forced out the back....virtually giving you more speed to your game.... PLAY FAST!....STRONG....and with GRACE

not feeling the inner sleeve...I'm lazy...want to just put the shoe on and tie it up. Hate having to mess around with a sleeve first

Exactly!....but after a few times, you know where to set your center of gravity so that it forces you forward, not up...
it WILL NOT help you jump higher, only further....

These kobe 7's looks like some kobe dream season's that have some strange ankle strap. SMH... And people like me said that the LBJ 9's looked ugly! LOL! These KB 7's will definitely not appeal to people wearing bball shoes casually but these shoes look like performance monsters on the court(like most of kobe's shoes from nike) In my opinion, Looks wise right now, The lebron 9's look waaaaaaay better than the kobe 7's but performance wise and for innovation, the kobe 7's might be offering something different and exciting(haven't tried the lebron 9's yet though). Hope the KB 7's release some nice colorways though.
