In my searching on the Kobe V, I came across a picture from about six months ago with several colorways of the shoe, some that have been released already and some that have not. One that caught my eye was a colorway that seemed based on the U.S. Olympic team. Here's a link to where I saw them:
Olympic Kobe V
Does anyone know anything about these or when they might be released?

I just got done typing a long paragraph in response to Bryscoop and then I read your postOriginally Posted by s dubl
Bryscoop...I don't think everyone is asking about the POP release being QS or GR because they want em to be QS so they can get em and be "cool", I think most are asking so they can judge how easy/difficult it will be for them to obtain a pair. Type of release makes a huge difference on availability, especially if you don't live near a big foot locker.
I think people care whatkind of release they are because it lets them know how hard they willhave to work to get a pair if they want one. Like for me, if it is aGR, I know I can cop easily inside the store at my local FTL. If it's alimited GR like the Chaos (which didn't even release in my state), thenI have to order online. If it's a HOH only release (obviously it's not)then I have to contact my connects. That's the only reason why Ibelieve people are discussing what type of release they are.Originally Posted by Bryscooplaygrifhold
Whoreally cares what they are(POP that is)- GR, QS, hyperstrike, point isif you like 'em get 'em. If not, don't sweat it. I don't like the POPvery much at all personally so I will pass. I doubt they will grow onme, but I could be wrong. I really like the Del Sols and will probablysnag two. One to wear and the other to shelve for a diff. year. If Ihad to do it all over again, I would have gotten two Chaos and DKs aswell, but I didn't really focus on it at the time. I think this willbe a shoe ten years from now that will be considered a game changer inthe overall scheme of the shoe world. Similar to Foamposite, AJ 11, Air max 95, Trainer 1, etc...
not for me tho, i'm not really feeling the red swoosh and think the cream colored lining of the astons are a nice touch.. but yeah both shoes are pretty decent looking IMO. i just need the metallic purple pair!!Originally Posted by V1nsanity3

It's essentially the same as what you said but since I took the time to write it, I will still post it.

I think you might have the mentality that I do in the JB forum. Whenever someone asks about the availability of a shoe in the JB forum, 99% of the time, it's either because they want to know if its worth it to cop for resell or they want to know because they like the idea of a shoe being limited. That's why I hate going in the JB forum.
Kobe buyers are smart, they buy what they like not because of the hype. That's why you could get some of the less heralded HOH releases weeks after RD like the Rices. Joints were ugly and they stayed on the shelves. If a Jordan IV or Jordan III came out in the Rice colorway and was HOH only release, I guarantee it sells out on the first day because of the hypebeasts and resellers stupid enough to think they can make $ on them. There are no Kobe hypebeasts that I know of.
And I too wish I would've grabbed two pairs of Chaos too, that or at least one pair of DKs.

sup sdub... haha dude this reminded me of the team jordans from back in the day when the straps were removable and interchangeable. i forgot what they were called thoughOriginally Posted by s dubl
I kind of wish they kept the strap...especially if it was removable.
