That's a shame that the gold on the swoosh rubs off on the elite. I also would like to see anybody's pictures of that happening. I am glad I waited for a drop in price, but now I'm not so sure. I know that when balling your shoes get messed over time, but it seems like the gold is rubbing off faster than it should.
I was wondering the same thing. Some other things about the Elites and Supremes didn't add up. For instance, why sell a supreme VII with a high and low insert, but then make the elite a low insert only? For me, it seemed as if they were slyly/quietly admitting the high cuff was useless.
I would say that an athlete of Kobe's caliber, given his status with Nike, probably has shoes custom made for his feet. The only thing that his game day shoe has in common with GR release is the exterior.
