the zk5 imo was a flop for those who were looking forward to a revamp and improvement to the zk4
the zk5 seem to be the first shoe to debut a skinwire type material
the shoe incorporated zoom air in the forefoot and heel unit as most of the kobe shoes
but the feel to them as similar to the hyperdunk 2010 has an odd plastic feel to it
and for when you cut and such it felt as though the toe box was not wide enough and the pinkie toe would often rub
without a doubt kobe will always put out a shoe that has more positives than negatives
ie the traction was decent, with a new pattern, it was wrapped for the most part in flywire, the heel piece did feel like you were more secure, and as said the zoom air is a favorite
but with the negatives the shape of the shoe felt narrow( and i have a normal to slightly wide foot), the toe box was cramped, the foot didnt feel padded enough inside the shoe and it almost felt as though you were not locked down so to speak and eventhough they fit true to size (i have 12s in them) there doesnt seem to be enough padding around your forefoot!
the zk6 on the other hand was better constructed imo
i like the fact that nike has scrapped leather from this shoe and instead replaced it with the "snakeskin" also underneath it the shoe is covered from end of heel counter to toe area with flywire but closely woven which would aid in better support with better flexibility
with these the foot doesnt feel constricted and i feel like when making the cuts it doesnt seem to rub such as zk5
the zk6 also has the zoom air
they do fit about a half size big for me as my zk1-zk5s are all 12s but zk6s are 11.5 but this is because of the flexible material that doesnt constrict you
another new traction which i do not feel fully grounded but still have not yet experienced slippage
this shoe feels as though it should have been the zk5
i do not like the look all together but it is growing on me
performance wise it is a better shoe as to you can feel yourself secured yet with better padding and flexibility
the reason i say i dont recommend either is because of the fact that the new lebron 8 and 8 v/2 has such a better cushioning feel to it than the zk6
this year lebron did win imo
but people have said it is too high and too bulky (eventhough its one of his lightest to date)
this i do not agree with
the air max gives much more than the lbj7s and when compared to a kobe anyone (lebron lover or not) can tell you that the lebron feels better
and the flywire may not be wrapped around like the kobe but the carbon fiber strengthened flywire is a nice touch in the secure feeling
but this thread is about whether or not the zk6 performs better than the zk5
imo yes it does
hope this sheds some light
