so, in summary, they are too big and look good. hmmmm....I'm sold.

well, of less importance, they didn't hurt my feet right out of the box. Very comfortable even though they're a little big.

How's the heel slippage?

I only notice when I think about it.

So overall, you enjoy the shoe?

yeah

i'm pulling the trigger. don't like my current shoes (extremely stiff), and i can't find a better deal than the one you found ($15 off right now too).

Just bought these on ebay:

Guys, Great news. As you all know, I bought these a few weeks ago. They were described as blue and white, as they appear to be in the pic.

Good news part is that when they arrived, they were Cat purp and white and look fantastic.

Sure, I ripped the seller on Ebay, but love the shoes anyway.

Just picked up these for $50 at the Nike Store at Legends. I'm sure Havs would approve.

i hope they have a different color because those shoes are fantastic. However, don't know if i can stomach the color if that's it, those were going for around 100 bucks at other places.

i'm a hoop shoe purist myself. at that price, I'd probably go with these and sport the kazzu af1's.

I know they're not supposed to be any worse for ankles, but I tried on some lows and couldn't imagine playing ball in them.

I got these for about $80 during strut 'n cut season at finish line: http://www.shoebacca.com/zoom-hyperdunk-2011-sprm-469776-500.html

Yeah, I look at mids/highs as being not much better for my ankles but much better at cutting off my circulation.

that's a pretty good deal

agreed

michigancat · « **Reply #69 on:** July 02, 2012, 11:57:10 AM »

I don't like those kobes that much though. they look like alligator skin or something.

Trim · « **Reply #70 on:** July 02, 2012, 11:58:11 AM »

I think those are what strut 'n cut's star pg wore, and might have been what I tried on at the nike outlet store in KCK's "Legends" mall and rejected.

over 1 year later, I finally pull the trigger.

these have lasted an insane amount of time, but i think it's time for a new pair. Want something low low low. I like some of the old Kobes but not the new ones so much. what's good? clams? I may even try something other than Nike even though they are by far the coolest and most popular and I always go with what is the coolest and most popular.

michigancat · « **Reply #73 on:** April 12, 2013, 04:51:22 PM »

why do these have to be camo? you're not adidas, nike!
