i am actually trying to land wrong on purpose but i land stable/straight on my foot.

 No JOKE tho....

if yall have your pair on or next to you, try to put your foot to the side and stand up... the shoe will fall back on its bottom.

what are the v-days??

 

[xxedgyxx]

After reading the reviews on the Kobe V's I wanted to get my hands on a pair to try them out for ballin.  So this weekend I was busy making moves.  Picked up some ASG's from craigslist on Friday and to my surprise there was a lone pair of Chaos' at the Nike outlet on Saturday for $99 so I picked those up as well!  Haven't gone to the gym yet to try them out but will be soon...  Now searching for some DK or BL in a 10.5 or 11, if u guys got em let me know I want a pair...

Here's some pics:

sorry for the HUMONGOUS PICS!

[dneou20]

[abstractability]

[kobehead]

It was at a local mall here in the Bay Area (Great Mall).  I was actually at the mall in the hunt for some DK at shiekhs but found these instead...  

 

[tjay]

double post. sorry

 

[tjay]

^those laces looks really good on the chaos. i wonder what would it look like with white laces?

 

[swooshallday]

good deal for $100!!! I wish those more of those moments will come towards my way.

 

[jgh0st23]

Wow nice price in the Norcal.

 

[haydenhouser]

^ the laces on those Chaos' look good for real.

Inlines and Del Sols are a MUST for me.


I'm going to turn to eBay and pay $200+ for some DKs.... Need those

Yup it was the only pair!  It was by the cash register.  I didn't even noticed it, my girl did and I was like $#*, and scooped em up!  It was a size 11 and I usually hate buying pairs that aren't 10.5 but these actually fit better than my 10.5 ASG...

see thats the problem too...these Vs have too many colorways already that I dont want to "regret" passing on...that damn V-Day pair is another one. Im really hoping they stick around long enough to go on sale.

and Adrain...change your avy back homie 

 

[abstractability]

waahahah.. I might be moving away from this glorious state so I need to soak it all in as much as possible. I better get some help from future socal releases from the fam cuz the potential move is not very shoe-friendly.......

arch = you're tying your shoes too tight. untie them them and tie them snugly, not tightly.

thanks mate, ill try this... i think you might be right!

I've heard some problems with the traction.... but I've never had any, never even come close to slipping or feeling less than 100% stable with these on.. it's just noise. The Vs are perfect on court

it's not just noise...i had problems with the traction as well...and i was ballin in them for a few weeks hoping they would break in a little bit...went back to the iv's though for ballin...i use the v's to train in though...traction feels better outdoors then it does for me on hardwood...sad because zoom kills lunar foam

anyone try putting the v-day laces on the chaos??? the white and speckled reds would SORT OF match the white and speckled souls?? (a sign that I am too lazy = both pairs are sitting in the closet and I am too lazy to get up and try it out myself

)
