Hated the Kobe V. Too flimsy.
Kobe VII = pass. That yellow sockliner looks fruity.

The best performance shoe up to date has to be the 4s or 5s debatable (I still prefer the 4s).
But to rate the 6s as better overall performers than the 4s and the 5s is utter blasphemy.
But your entitled to your opinion....

You are right, but at the same time i feel my opinion generally encompasses all players. Not just from my experience, but talking about said technologies of the shoes on paper. Herringbone will always trump any other form of rubber tread. Full width zoom > met head zoom > lunar foam. A high top with an adequate heel counter will always have better prioperception than a low. So on and so forth.Originally Posted by never wear them

Everyone is going to have their own overview/take on shoe. Everyone is built different.
You can't compare a 5"5 guy to a 6"5 guy. They're built different.

they've REALLY perfected it and they won't launch it prematurely.

AGREED. The 2k4s is timeless perfection. Its amazing how after 7 years no shoe can top it without getting close to the $200 price point. Its a shame those weren't the Kobe 1sOriginally Posted by never wear them
Wasn't disagreeing with you. I agree with you on the tech.
That's why the 2K4 will always be my favorite Bball shoe to play in.

I mean... What else can they really improve on that shoe... Every other Bball shoe since then has been based on that shoe.
Low to the ground... Fore and heel zoom... Sort of light...
Sucks that Bball shoes don't use a full length real carbon fiber shank.
