Hahahahaha ****. We talking about looks???

Kobe 8 looks like a fake version of 5s.

Bruce lee and Chaos over any cw of 8

Anyday.

Don't get me wrong I've grown to like 5 but they have that look about them to me. There isn't really a distinguishing feature about that model look wise.

For every 5 you can name I have a counter 8.

6>8>9>5>10>7


7 has a horrible fit but some great CWs.

9 gets the edge over the 5 because the fuse upper tears too easily.

Love the 6 and 8 but 6 gets the top spot because it fits my foot perfectly, as if it were made just for me.

Chaos
Dark Knight
Bruce Lee
Allstar

Coming from a dude who loves the 8s none of their cws approach any of the aforementioned 5 cws IMO

 

[God]

USA 5
Lower Marion 5
Aston Martin 5
Championship pack

8s are beyond overrated

 

[the collector]

Post pics of these 5s bros so the thread can judge. 5 isn't in 8s class.

That's funny those are the two cws of 8s that I own

 

[Larry Legend]

I'm not hating on the 8s whatsoever here to be clear just in the tradition of ranking on this site and sneaker lovers everywhere the 5 got em on shape, you said their isn't anything aesthetically really happening with the 5s and that's probably my favorite aspect of them is their clean lines and again overall shape, the 8 is extremely streamlined and lower than the 5 the 5 pulls off being a low while being more beefy if that makes sense

 

[mf gooze]

They look better period. The Kobe 4 and 5 have that early KD 1-3 vibe to them. They look like a budget Nike sneaker and not your typical Nike signature. I don't give a damn how they perform. I'm not a ball player.

This. 5s look like some bull you'd find at JC Penny.

I think one thing everyone can agree on is that the X is not special

Oh, and mambacurial 8>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>10

How anyone thinks this looks cheap or whatever in anyway is beyond me, but it's all opinion and all good

Lol yeah the x can't really get in this club albeit I favor it over the 6 and 7 easily

Lol

 

[the collector]

Anyone out there have a vote for 1, 2, 3 or 7?

 

[mf gooze]

1 and 7 are some of my favorites. 2-5 is cheeks.

 

[philosophre]

i like 7 in general, but they fit tight on my flat foot

 

[eightfivefresh]

Better than any 4 or 8 IMO with ease

Exactly. Lol

 

[Larry Legend]

Sure I'll respond lol, owned a pair of blackout 3s and wore em till the toe seperated from the outsole, I for one enjoyed the spiderweb unorthodox look of the shoe but for me his line didn't reach greatness until the 5 as a model I went nuts on and scooped every cw I could get my hands on

 

[the collector]

Only 7s I like are the Christmas and WTK.

 

[Larry Legend]

Exactly. Lol

Right, but tell me those DK don't look like perfection lol

 

[eightfivefresh]

There isn't another Kobe in the line that comes close to the Kobe 8.

You can take the Top 5 of every colorway and they wouldn't matchup to the Top 5 Kobe 8's.

Lastly, there isn't another Kobe in the line that identify's with Kobe and the "Black Mamba" persona, better than the Kobe 8.

 

[MVP]

Love the 1s and 2s. 7 colorways with the 8s comfortability would have likely been the GOATs. Still bought 4 pairs of the 7s though
