sick

[da_suns_fan]

So if you sport a pair, arent you saing you want to be a big douche like Kobe?

[dirk4mvp]

How much are these?

[Allanon]

Some of 'em are kinda ugly. But most of them are cool. :tu

[TheMACHINE]

im thinking its gonna be like $125. They dont usually go as high as Lebron's heavy ass shoes that hit $160

The speical editions ones probably will go higher and im sure it'll end up in Nikeid eventually.

[TheMACHINE]

i guess so...ive sported every pair except the 2's and 3's. lol

[T2150]

FUGLY. da_suns_fan (http://spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=10213) SIG has the sweet CBMAX 34s... those are tight... Lebron VIIs are way nicer too...

[tlongII]

I like 'em. I can't see playing hoops in low tops though.

[Technique]

Most of those colors are atrocious. Best looking for me is the last one (Black, Blue and Red).

[Donkeybong]

i kind of like his last rendition better, but these are still pretty nice. I like the teal and white.

[TheMACHINE]

me too..till i bought the Kobe 4's and i love em playing ball..it actually feels more stable then high tops.

[symple19]

are we back in 1989?

all of em are ugly as fuck, fitting for a douche like Kobe

[lefty]

So if you sport a pair, arent you saing you want to be a big douche like Kobe?
Maybe, but at least you will average 45 ppg, on 245 attempted shots/game

[koriwhat]

lows suck! it's all about high-tops.

[benefactor]

http://i38.tinypic.com/zkimnd.jpg

I like these. The rest are meh.

[Culburn369]

I don't like the tatoo, but, that pink bow and long, deep crevice is magnificent.

[Culburn369]

& her slight overbite is adorable.

[Rip-Hamilton32]

pretty similar to the kobe 4s, which i own and have yet to roll my ankle in the so called low cuts

[Medvedenko]

The Kobe 4's are awesome. I'm on my second pair and have yet to have any ankle issues. These look almost like a hybrid of the hyperdunk and the 4's, but still keeping it low.

yah i love em...was first worried about the low top issue but its so light and comfortable..no ankle issues either. I'll cop a pair of 5's to try them out.

[urunobili]

the all black ones are sick...

[TheMACHINE]

*cough

[clambake]

they should design a pair that looks like a 4 million dollar ring.

[TheMACHINE]

heads up...the lakers away version (last shoe shown) and the chaos version (6th shoe down) releases on the 16th. ;)

[ChrisRichards]

We dont need updates from these ugly ass shoes.


Jordans>Lebrons>Kome's.

ok Harlemheat, we believe you.

[DAF86]

The Lakers colors might be the worst in all of sports.

[BRHornet45]

sons will these shoes help your free throw percentage?

[TheMACHINE]

it sure will

[BRHornet45]

it sure will

thanks son ... I figured if Kobe was endorsing these shoes then they have to help improve what he does best.

[TheMACHINE]

[TheMACHINE]

[dirk4mvp]

theMachine, let me borrow $130 so I can get a pair tbh. Thanks brah.

[monosylab1k]

best basketball shoe ever created. lol @ people who think high tops give you better ankle support.

[lefty]

Wear those shoes and I guarantee that you'll have the refs in your pocket

Nice air bubble (air max) for bigger players. a little heavy for me, but good shoes too.

Geaux Saints!

[Refocus]

The black&blue colorway in your sig/avatar look fuckin sexy The rest aren't really doing it for me. :S

[NZ Spurs]

I have the "Dark Knight" version. I think they are pretty average looking shoes but they are super light.

The sole pattern worried me at first glance, with regards to grip, but it seems to be fine.

As far as ankle support goes, any basketball player who doesn't tape their ankles deserves to end up in hospital. Good taping effectively makes the hi-top low-top argument irrelevant.

i wear a pretty thick ankle brace on my left foot and the low top shoes help significantly with the fit

[NZ Spurs]

Yeah, I wear a solid McDavid brace on both feet as per the advice of my surgeon. As you mention, the lightness of the shoe and the low cut help in the fit of the (now very wide) braced foot.

I am actually warming to the look of the shoe. Its kinda funky. However, I am a bit of a purist and still prefer the look of a basketball boot. Saying that my favorite shoe (after the AJ-XI) is that silver, audi TT, adidas Kobe. I loved wearing those shoes, and that was some time ago, when I was young and naive and absolutely hated Kobe because he kept beating the shit out of my Spurs.

[Bukefal]

I dont really like the model, too low. In my eyes basketball shoes should be high, but its a matter of taste. These can be cool to wear outside of playing basketball.
And the colors are awfull, too flashy, kitsch.

The left one looks okay though.

i was pretty worried about the low tops too so i bought the hyperdunks. Then i figured ill try the Kobe IV. Now i feel that the low tops give more ankle stability then the hyperdunks.

The Kobe's are actually pretty tight around the ankle.

If you dont like flashy, these are pretty nice and simple:
