Advantages and Disadvantages of the Kobe VII System

Advantages: outstanding cushioning, lockdown and support, solid traction for most courts

Disadvantages: expensive, midsole are difficult to switch in and out, required break-in period, heavier than previous Zoom Kobe models

Improvements: fixed midsole would make a world of difference; herringbone traction pattern could be stickier, but still holds sufficiently.
