white outsole ITSELF is hard to clean dude. Translucent soles yellow almost instantly, unless they're
tinted, they're not really that nice in the long run.

you guys make me wanna try the lowtops, but like they other dude said, the high tops give me piece of mind

dude, high tops these days do NOTHING. seriously. The extra height are just extra
pieces of flimsy Fuse material. Those do not offer support, that I can tell you.

so is that a sock with the shozoku on the back or is that the actual "system"?

Just a sock probably. They seem to be putting a big shozoku on everything, just look at the shorts with the logo, which looks tacky imo. The system is the cushioning insert/insole/sport pack dealio?

any reviews from the people who went to Venice Beach?
can't wait to get the socks!

I'm glad the socks don't look like girls thigh highs. I can't stand seeing high socks.

I thought I was the only one who felt this away. No offense to anyone who wears elites, just my opinion.

You will be more stable in these than the Lebron X. Higher off the ground causes less stability. Kobe's in the past have had by far the best lockdown and flexibility in the market. Hands down. Period.

Pink elites or the custom elites are ugly. The black ones look good though. FOR ball of course. Casual.. Not that much.

kobeoverbron, I can completely agree with that statement. 
Still debating whether or not to get the Xmas lights. So far I like what I'm seeing with the VIII's and I'm hoping that orange/red-based pair comes to fruition.

LOL, theres just something about the black crews that looks nice.
Like I said weeks ago. 4 pairs minimum if they play well. And from the feedback
from Venice, looks like 4 pairs it is...

Kobe's have looked the same since the IV's. c'mon Nike, do something different. The only reason I digg' the VII's is because they came wit' the ankle system and that looked ill. There's no creativity they just been building on the same model since the IV's. I do like the mamba pattern on these and the mamba around the shozoku logo. Ima pass on the VIII's though. They look mad plain.

Look at the back of this shoe and how it's a full shozoku symbol.
Now check the back of this one which only has the lower portion of the shozoku (the two stripes).
Weird, right? Fakes/ Special edition?

my guess is that the ones with the full shozoku are the edition they get in Asia

yeah that's weird. i actually prefer the stripes.

Guys, they're obviously the GS pair. 
- 11,513

Yeah, 4 pairs if we can hold it. LOL

I like them better with the full Shozoku. Sucks only gs pairs will have it. I have no plans on buying the matching sock to complete it. Another gimmick by nike to take people's money.

Count the eyelets on the pairs, the full Shozoku seems to be a GS pair.

you could id and get the full logo but then again Nike taking your money either way.
