The Inks are definitely more "rockable" when it comes to casual wear.
The 5-Rings are great for summer-wear, with shorts and a colorful tee... but with jeans and a polo, not so much, IMHO.

Ehh I guess... I'm not a product of overdoing the matching head to toe.. But coincidentally, the jeans I wore with them today (not in the picture, I just threw the rings on for the pic) my True's had yellow stitch at the bottom cuff, and I wore a simple yellow polo hooded zip up, didn't look too bad

Them Inks are lookin' reall good. Maybe I'll trade one of my 5 Rings for them... hmmm...

Thank God no new releases until the ZKVIs.  I'm officially done w/ the Vs...

nice pickups adrian!! especially those 5 rings! 

you didnt tell me you picked up those other kobes (well i knew of the inks and 5 rings of course) but not the others...nice nice pickups

 

[thapointguy]

That is BS from the Shiekh in Santa Ana. I just walked into a local Shiekh and asked to locate one. He found my size from NorCal and just picked them up today...

Which Shiekhs in Norcal? What's good on that Away BS, you gonna keep them or what?

 

[abstractability]

Thanks Drew. Good seeing you earlier. We gotta plan that SoCal NT bball game soon, and NO, I'm not betting any of my shoes.... smh

Something worst from Nike ... Kobe VI

 

 

[rl_wayne]

^Not a fan of that specific colorway of the VIs, but the Del Sols look pretty good to me.

 

[JRaW’d]

i already know im gonna cop a pair just b/c they are kobs sig shoe. if it werent for that, i wouldnt touch those attrocities.

 

[never wear them]

 

[marley]

Yeah I am glad I aint feelin those first couple colorways of the VI. I am sure they will drop some good colors but so far I am good.

 

[gza73]

Very nice pick ups Abstractbility!!!

 

[mike2389]

adrian.....nice pickups! if you ever figure out a way to take the insoles out of those orca II's, PM me because they are so uncomfortable.


marley, same here...i'm actually happy i only like 1/2 colorways so far

..that gives me time to get a couple V's that i slept on

 

[janies brother]

FIIIIINNNNAAAALLLLY IN HAND!


Awesome re-cap on the vault tag, 10 years from now I'll be able to tell what all of the stats really meant.

And the flat black base with the glossy skin is the part of the shoe I underestimated in photos.  Until you're holding them in your hand the flat base really gets lost, the V model has been a real hit, but the Aways are classics when compared to anything else Nike has done...period!

And yes, I overpaid but when they look this good who cares?

Any place other than ndc have the home del sols yet? I haven't seen them at local footlockers yet, and there not on Eastbay. Anyone remember hearing if Eastbay is getting them?

We are currently not expecting to receive any shipments in for the Home Del Sols.  If any new information comes up saying otherwise, I will post an update.
