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

[gdiemaster]

Word is Bruce Lee Joints are set to release for January 16, 2009 according to HOHLA. Just came from there.. sure worth the 2hr drive.

Can anyone confirm the release? Any word? I kinda dont trust them HOH folks.

Just received my pair from NDC. Wow after trying them on, I'm in love.

This shoe is a game changer. The ankle lock reminds me of the first time i put on my Kobe 2k4's. Just very tight, giving you the feeling of security.

The one piece toe box design is going to change the way many basketball shoes are made going forward. Everyone here would agree that the consensus feelingabout creasing is that there basically is none, and that is all because of the one piece design. Not that creasing is a big deal for basketball shoes, it justgoes to show you that they have engineered a design that is unibody and distributes stressing points more evenly. Lastly, the notable feature to me was the orthe lack thereof, weight. The one piece toe box and paper thin flywire design combined with generous zoom padding is a lethal combination and they somehowmanaged to shed even more weight from an already light kobe IV.

I'm sold on these and would recommend them to anyone looking for an everyday shoe all the way up people looking for a game day shoe.
Well done Nike. Bravo!

I feel the same way. I just like the BLs because they are inspired by Bruce Lee and he's Asian.

Kobe makes the Inlines look better! The same way Jordan makes Jordans look better.

I think I need to see the Inlines on my feet before I decide if I want them.

I went through the same thing with the Inline IVs... They never appealed to me in the store and I actually bought them kind of by mistake.

I came to FL trying to use the F&F discount on Del Sols but one FL wouldn't let me use the coupon.

I went to another FL and they didn't have my size in Del Sols, but they did in the Inlines, and offered me a 20% discount on the Inlines instead of 30% soeven though I didn't even want the Inlines, I bought them anyway because I wanted to take advantage of the discount.

They grew on me once I started wearing them to the point that they're my favorite GR colorway of the IVs.

I've asked before and looked everywhere, i guess there is no release info on these yet? Limited? GR? HOH? Date?

Also what is the retail price for V's?
