thats what i think as well. ive been contemplating an attempt to swap cushioning systems, with straps/tongues on one of my xmas pairs. i want the regular tongue on the play strong insole.Originally Posted by thapointguy
lol that surface is all bad. I bet his carbon shank plate looks like that ground after the shoot-around.
deionandmelo, I doubt the velcro cuff helps in the ankle support. It looks flimsy. I think it's there to mimic a midtop since ppl thought the VII went back to a mid. I just want the cushlon play strong insole.

I was able to stop on a dime and make hard cuts and spin quickly without slippage. The flared out midsole front and back gives the shoe crazy stability. The top loaded forefoot zoom and bottom loaded zoom in the heel setup is amazingly responsive (I see why AJ 2010 had high marks in that department) and makes the heel to toe transition better but not as good as the VI.
The upper shell is durable than the VI so you don't have to worry about your toes ripping through after extended wear. The flexibility is great even when the upper is durable/stiff. The flex grooves/V-shaped cut in the front part of the midsole and outrigger adds to the flexibility.
Man does it run narrow, new meaning to molds to your foot. My pinky toe was hurting a bit at first, after some time to break them in it felt good. I had elite socks on too. Casually I would go .5 size up. Importantly, no blisters like some have reported.
The leather heel counter adds to the ankle support which the VI lacked so I didn't feel as safe in the VI than in the VII. I gotta try the play strong insert after testing out the play fast and see how the strap adds to the ankle support if any. Imagine if they went back to the midtop form and keep all these attributes with some tweaks, it could very well top the Huarache 2k4.
To sum it up, performance wise I wouldn't touch a thing, but maybe make it full herringbone next time? It could lose some weight too. Other than that I think it is an upgrade from the VI performance wise. Comfortwise, VI takes the cake because it's not as narrow.
Without trying on the play strong insole I would be happy with just getting the play fast $140 version.

i don't know about playing on that surface... can't be good to play on rough looking surface like this... hazardous to my shoes and me...
i'd rather play on a bit smoother surface... blacktop,concrete or something that doesn't look like it'll rip a chunk out of my arm if i fall on it..

and that's not even the point. they're cheaper. If you raise the price, people expect
more. We shouldn't compare these to "lower end" sneaks.
Apologies for not being familiar with "Nike Vault", but are these GR, exclusive, or at HOH only?Originally Posted by SWSH

For the HS players, not going to be a release to the public.
Pairs that do get to the public, are usually from players giving them to someone... etc
