OFFICIAL NIKE KOBE 8 SYSTEM THREAD

Damn I missed the 1000th page.
But either way, I want the shoe associated with those socks. Either the fades or the assist/inlines.

Damn, most sizes in that sock are sold out on NDC already. SMH. I wouldnt touch them anyway, slippery *** sock. Bought a pair of heather grey/purple elite socks that came out a couple months back, those are :smokin

I failed getting the Easter's from JJ at midnight but managed to get one later in the afternoon when my size randomly popped up. They arrived today (Saturday). The next day! How is that even possible? :smokin

man the 8's stay selling out! kobes never used to be this way, guess the 8's are being done properly this time around.

Hold off my man... in my opinion (which means little to you I'm sure) no way

Why not? You can ID something similar if not better than Xmas but you can't do that with these Easters. Just my opinion...

JJ sent me a couple emails saying I still had a pair in my cart...

When I went to check both times, JJ said my cart was empty.

Managed to grab em the next morning tho, so it all worked out.

Is that a fact? can you back up your statement because that is a pretty bold statement. I know there's a few bad apple here and there but I think majority of who post here are true Kobe fans and if not are true sneakerheads. IMO

ID ing something similar to Xmas is trying hard IMO. still not going to be the same, to me that is settling.

Not sure if this has been posted but NDC just put out kobe socks for what might be the purple gradients...... Could it be?

you guys are taking everything as a sign that the pruple gradients are releasing.

these are the socks to match the Easters. court purple/laser purple are in the Easter color description.

and remember, when they released the red camo and grey/volt, they also got socks to match even though there was a full logo on the back.

jamieb15 · Mar 30, 2013

just purchased Easters for retail in Canada online... easiest cop yet...

jay2714 · Mar 30, 2013

I know you lose on tax and shipping, but I hope you guys are sending pairs with cracked plate back to Nike. They should almost recall, and replace pairs like that.

You think they would still take back my ZKV DKs? Probably too long ago huh?

I disagree with you... its definitely for a new CW that someone posted they had the exact color descriptions as the socks do... the give away imo is that those socks have blackened blue as.one of the colors aswell...

Got shipping email! No scheduled delivery info yet but looks like it'll be a good week!

Naw, been too long. It has to be within 2 years of the date on the size tag on the shoe.

Not necessarily reading into the socks, the purple on the shozoku doesn't even match the purple on the easters or the purple gradients. For the other socks, didn't the shozoku match the back stripes? maybe the socks are for future releases idk...but it is fun to speculate...

poohdini816 · Mar 30, 2013

Damn, I gave in...Copped the Easters from Shoe Purgatory for $225 on they layaway plan

I wore my ASG again yesterday, I really can't stand that they fit .5 larger than the other models. Something about the toe box having too much room...

Imma end up buyin the lunar insole from NDC for these...I don't like the +insole
