OFFICIAL : Zoom Kobe V (5) thread - Ace launch on 3/6

[flintgrey]

Kobe (and Lebron) should wear shoes that people can attain. No sense in paying a player millions to promote a product that never hits retail. This IS the way it should be.

Hope to get my Aways this week

As for today, he wore Aways (again) vs the Celtics. GW shot FTW!

played about 6..or 7 league games in them. i went hard in them and still no creases...i think the chaos material (that shiny blue stuff) just doesnt crease. kobe has stepped his game up every sneaker release .

That doesn't seem correct.  I don't buy it.  The fact that rmk has them only for 169 tells me that they will be available.

I predict 1000 pages by April 1st.

In Asia I think its more of a limited GR I could be wrong.

Nice! that's basically retail + tax + drive to LA lol.

 

[dlee2703]

I think the V's are more widely available no matter the release is than the IV's was.

Kix-files.com is a good alternative to rmk.  They are also located in Hong Kong.

*Nods my head*

Like someone asked....Anyone with pics after playing in a game? Just want to see if it affected the shoe in any way...
Thx

 

[ridikulas]

Does anyone know when the Kobe V with the mainly royal blue body (the one from the Kenlu pics) is dropping?

 

[urn0tlike]

Damn, saturday cant come quick enough for the BL.

 

[kg21]

Wow Aces look surprisingly good. I only want two pairs of Vs, a white based and a black based one but the Aces may change that depending on their availability.

 

[disbyaboiij]

anywhere in nyc still have the dark knights and chaos?

 

[bryscooplaygrifhold]

Has anyone put the GR laces in the BLs?  I keep telling myself I don't want/need this colorway, but something is telling me I might regret it down the road.  My main issues are the "cheesy" red scratches and the yellow laces. I can get over the red given their significance, but I would really like to see the shoe with some Kobe 5 specific laces, and those would seem to be the best match, given what is out there right now.  Anyone with pics?  would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
