That is a very nice picture of the USCs. The problem with many colorways of this shoe for me is the reflectiveness of the materials, because it makes them look different in many pics. Releases like the Homes, Inlines, Rices, Dukes, etc have to be seen in person to capture the true essence.

Look how the scales on the toes are such different sizes between the 2 shoes. Makes them look even worse for me.

Mine kinda look the same... Mine are still DS as well. Although it looks the same in both areas on both shoes, so maybe its just how the sole is?

man i dont want to drop 280 this week on kobe's but the dukes are robocopped and the usc's are calling my name. whats funny is i never even liked kobe's shoes until i started working at ftl like 4 months ago and got my first pair on discount. now i cant get enough of them. i will have to go check out the usc's in person but most likely they will be copped. one reason i might not cop is because the are usc's and im from houston. i never really liked usc that much but i heard there are some

Ok, A few weeks back I figured I was fine with not getting the USCs or Dukes. I am still unimpressed with the "scaliness"(not a word, I know) of the USCs, but I must say, wow! The Dukes are pretty legit. Granted, I dislike Duke very strongly and always have since I can remember, but you know what. These aren't Duke's shoes. They are Kobes shoes, and in this colorway, because he contemplated going to Duke (albeit for a split second, and then thought better of it when he realized all the $$$ he would make going straight to the league). SO I am over the "dukeness"(also not a word), and probably going to cave on these. I told myself no, no, no, but now I feel like the gal who is holding out on her man all throughout the date, only to be seduced at the end of the night. Gathering from the other posts, that I am not the only one to feel this way. So here's the deal, I feel like I need to take a shoe hiatus after this month for a bit and get my &%# together, so I am thinking this will be the last pickup for awhile. That being said, Is there anything I am forgetting about Kobe 5 wise, that I will regret not grabbing in the next few months, if this is in fact my last pickup until the post playoff/championship celebration? Any and all insight would be appreciated. Btw, the Lakers seem a little hungover from the 3 game trip as they are struggling with the Raps right now. Gotta pick it up lakeshow!

So the USCs will have "USC" on the heel but the Dukes won't have the "D"? I was kind of hoping for the other way around.

Looks like Kobe needs to stick with Aways and Inlines for the rest of the season through the playoffs...

Tony: Thanks for the pics homie. Homes are so plain even on court although I do like the yellow heel cup. DeRozan's PEs are aiiiiite. Laker's are playing like doo doo lately.... Es Em Ech!

Best way to describe the Homes is, looks good from afar but far from good.

Yeah.. Exactly.. Just like some girls I've been seeing lately...
I'm glad Del Sols are the next GR I like (passing on Homes and Draft Days).. Gives me some time to recover... (or get some other shoes....

i've been ballin indoor in mine for a few weeks and they are just a lil discolored on the bottom from dirt and grime.
i got a question for you guys ballin in your all stars...i get slight pains in the bottom of my foot after i play in mine. but i dont get that with my dark knights. do you guys find that the all stars are narrower and/or snugger than other colorways?
