some people think it's nice, some don't. but for those of you that like it, there is a sale at ucla copeland's store for the kobe II for $59.99. i saw a bunch of there yesterday. i believe retail is like $130.00 and i'm sure you can find some deals for like $80. but $60 is pretty good. don't have to be a student or anything to get the price... hope it helps some of you.
