My top ten list I pinned is pretty solid. Only real changes for this year were the Hd17 and Aj xxxi As a sub. Some subs for lows I really liked were the AD mid and Aj xxxi low. Thanks for reading. Thanks for your awesome reviews!! Do you have any idea if tese bad boys will ever be released again? They will probably retro these in the next few years. France is awesome I went once about twelve years ago! Hey Schwollo! How does the traction and fit on the kobe VIs compare to the traction and fit on the PG 1s?
Fit on the Vi is just as good as any shoe out there. I currently hoop in the Kobe AD mids in a size 8. Do you think a size 9 in these kobe 6s will fit me, or will it have too much toespace. It will be a little long. Pretty close in all aspects. Mesh has a little more give than the upper on the vi. Support stability the same.
I picked these up 3 weeks ago from the goat app based off of your review. Thanks for the review! Glad they are working out for you. Thanks Jake at the gym rat review as well. What kind of cushioning do you want? Like Kd or Lebron? Nice cushioning and traction.

Pros: improved traction from the V after break in, cushioning, fit, containment Cons: traction needs break in, slight heel slip until break in time is complete Sizing: true to size Best for: guards Weight: Holy schNikes. Traction Before I actually played in these I had read on various forums that traction had vastly improved from the V so I was super psyched about the VI.
Cushioning On paper, the Zoom set up is the same as the Kobe V, but in practice, I find these slightly higher off the ground and with a little more cushioning underfoot. Fit The Kobe VI fits true to size, simple as that. Since this is a low, support from the great fit and heel counter. No issues here. Stability is also very good thanks to a wide flat outsole and large forefoot outrigger. Zoom is still great and just as good as Boost when done right.
Plus it can ride much lower without bottoming out. All new Flyknit, Primeknit, Knitwit? Knits are big profit makers so better to sell it as a big upgrade and charge more.
There have been no advancements in this area, the lone exception is the Rose 7 and that is just a damn good pattern. C Lightweight? Almost no shoes come within three ounces of the VI. I think the lightest last year was the Curry 4 mid and Low at Share this: Twitter Facebook. Like this: Like Loading Posted in Sneaker Reviews.

Thanks man, awesome to hear — also an excellent colorway! The BB2 is a heck of a shoe. I search for them weekly on eBay and will probably pull the trigger at some point again if I can find a good pair. The traction and Zoom on those were incredible.
Schwollo is a good dude and he really knows his stuff, and he and I have similar styles of play so we agree on a lot of shoes out there. I trust his opinions as much as anyone out there.
Nice review and accurate. Traction takes time to break in for sure but could be better. One of the guys I follow on IG posted em and I was able to pick em up from him. Tough to find deadstock pairs though, I try eBay weekly and prices are just outrageous. Thanks for your really good reviews, Jake.
Thanks for checking the site out man. I agree for sure on the CFD and Rose 6 — really good cushioning in both. I wish I had picked up the CFD in a low though. Some of the best Zoom ever in those. Hey Jake, The Kobe VI are also my favorites, because of how it fits my feet which are more narrow than average.
Are there any of the more recent shoes you would recommend e. Curry 2- low? I have a narrow foot as well and the Kobes do fit perfect for those of us like that. The Curry 2 low has a thin toebox from top to bottom but width is normal overall.
First two that come to mind are the Kyrie 2 and Kobe Both are narrow and the lockdown is good. Nice read!!
I had some Playoff 13s the retros for awhile and I loved em but definitely could never hoop in em. My pleasure to check out your site—thank YOU for sharing your insights and knowledge!
The Hyperrevs sound pretty good. Sucks about your ankle with them, though. Yeah, the Zoom in the Ultraflights is bananas. Prof K was the man haha that site plus Kicksguide is what got me into shoes in the first place.
Such a shame that neither Kicksology or Kicksguide exists any more! Plus I dug around online once and found where someone had archived all the old KO reviews, which was exciting. Think I found the cushioning to be a bit firm for my tastes. Oh well. But yeah, his review of them was great, though! Hey , Did you play in or did you hear some reputable opinions about the Adidas Crazyquick 3s? On paper the shoe seems fine, but I would like some reassurance and I can not find any reviews of the shoe other than the one from solebrothers but their reviews can be tricky sometimes I had em on a couple different times in store but ended up getting different pairs each time.
From my limited knowledge, they felt light with pretty firm cushioning. Lockdown felt good from a lacing standpoint. Just never got them on court or anything, although I wish I would have. These are hands down the best performing shoes that I have ever hooped in. They literally have no weak spots, great traction, cushion is just right, the fit is just fricking insane I mean literally perfect, lockdown great, containment great, lightweight, flexible, feel so natural on foot, stable as shit, breathable I just can not recommend them enough, people have slept on them big time.
I have hooped in Kobe 9s and crazylight boost 2 s just prior to them and kobes aint got shit on crazyquicks literally like day and night even crazylights arent comperable. Im so excited just found a perfect hoop shoe and they look dope as well.
I liked these and only regret that they came along before the variety of heights came to the Kobe line. The Zoom Icon is sort of that but not really, without the upper they are just an average cushion, below average traction shoe that is a little low to the ground for my tastes. Have anyone tried playing in the Zoom Icons to compare if Nike kept the cushioning the same or cheapened it?
Glad I found this blog! Sounds like we have similarly shaped feet. Great article. I loved them so much, I bought pairs. All black color way The Kobe 11 seemed to be a good fit and I made it through two pairs. I just ordered the Hyperdunk Low. We shall see… my search continues!
The Hyperdunk low is just ok. They appear to be promising…. I normally go a half size down in basketball shoes since I have a narrower foot, but I prefer true to size in the Kobe VI.
