Relax. I think some of these dudes are just tight/keep in touch with HOH employees and what not. I don't think there is a listserv or anything.

What if that someone is a celebrity or just some rich person who got $ to burn and he or she doesn't want to wait until November ? Ever think of that ?
500$ ain't nothing to celebrity and rich folk out there man .

I think it is safe to say the v2 is the Xmas shoe. Not necessarily that b/w/r one, but the model itself.
That quickstrike is what kind of release? Urban,Hoh, online?

So not as 'hard' as the VII i guess? Would you be able to compare them to any other recent f/l air max hoops shoes?
And ROFLOL at JP chewing out Nike over leather quality.

Hi Jason P.,
What have you done, to avoid blisters with VIII? So much attention is paid to ankle cushion, eyestays, this that and the other, forgetting that not much in the way of avoiding hot spots on the insole. what new tech do we have to avoid having to sit a week after 5/6hrs of ball one day because your kicks tear up the bottom of my feet? i can ask for tighter lockdown with less slippage in the forefoot, less slipping with NIKE socks (dryfit+basketball dont mix). im 100% positive lebron puts more torque on the forefoot of a sneaker than i can with a truck so whats the word? yes ive tried everything from a sz10-11 to get the _best_ fit (even tried to shoehorn a sz9.5 to get a tighter fit). I dont have wide or narrow feet, but i can tell you that the heat, and friction of your designs are killin me. im using avars 2k4's still. good job with the weight, but the 360bag is heavy. the bottom of the shoe feels like its unbalanced with the rest of the sneaker. probably what creates the movement that starts the chain for generating excessive heat while playing till we get ... blisters! i dunno, the kobes seem like they would be cooler (temp) and till i see the fuseviii im prolly passing (the flywire looks sick but i broke my ankle on the stuff in the OG HD, so they would prolly just get worn and no play) im not of the mindset to wear basketball shoes as a fashion statement, i leave that to the young bloods.
Thanks

yzarc, do you get blisters on the "balls of your feet?"
cause i do to, and it made(i dont ball no more) selecting my bball shoes very important.
2 pairs of socks was a must.

Sorry if the pics are too big. Took pictures of the shoe to post. Shoe came out much better in person than it did in the stock photographs. Like the 7's more but this is a nice shoe.

Anybody got an actual pic of the South Beaches being worn with jeans?
So the general consensus of these is that they fit true to size and not BIG like the 7s right?
