And can someone tell me if these run true to size to you or same with the IV, V, and VI's?  I wear 10.5 in everything else but Kobes/LBJ/KD/Running/SBs.  It seems like these VII's I could probably wear my true to size now.

I want to see more pics of this colorway... Looked good on the court...

Uh, looking at Kobes left foot, dude about to rip the hell out of those kicks. That just immediately turned me off on Supremes. 

WHAT???

NWT You should be ashamed of your self. 
I was not going to buy these Christmas Kobe​​!


















but after seeing these pictures i must have them

Heads up make sure you check the play fast insoles before you purchase. I noticed on many pairs that the zoom air bag in the forefoot is not glued down properly and is causing a air pocket around the zoom bag.

Same. I was mentally ready and everything

. Helps that I was going to be around today too. Hopefully I'm nearby tomorrow.

 I checked the number again and now it says Friday. How could this happen? Oh well.

Where can I get these?? Can't find em online.

Hope that they bring out a black pair of them.

Does anyone know if the purple on these shorts is concord or the purple that matches the cheetahs? Thinking about copping

Kobe is my favorite player but these kicks are atrocious. Beyond weak. I can't believe Nike is playing him like this, basically the same shoe three years straight.

Why do major changes to the best bball shoe of all time?

the zk7 seems to unthread/fuzz quickly. I used the attack fast yesterday and my socks caused it, and my
socks were dri fit. $%$?

pissed.

nah, i might have to disagree with your conclusion there. i don't think the problem is with the collar material, it's just that the velcro that's sewn on the sleeve is too abrasive. and once that soft lining on the collar begins to fray, it becomes easier and easier to fray even more.

edit: after my post, i took my pair out to see what was really causing the problem and i may have found the problem and a solution:
the problem - the very edge of BOTH velcro patches may have a little extra material sticking out after the double stitching which feels very sharp.
the solution* - use a pair of really, really sharp, strong scissors and do some trimming to the edges where necessary. be careful not to accidentally cut too much or cut some of the sleeve in the process.
*be sure to test the feel of the velcro to the collar lining by actually putting the bootie back in the shoe and rubbing it along the collar. if you hear any scratching or see the velcro pulling at the collar, trim the velcro edge a little more.

I have the same issue although its only in my right pair. I think its the way you strap the velcro. You need to be exact when doing the strap , no allowance so that the only thing that would touch the collar is the sleeve, not the velcro part.
