OFFICIAL NIKE KOBE 8 SYSTEM THREAD

[CosmicGhostRider]

Got mine last night. I am loving them!

 

[crazy ebw]

These are TTS for sure, as long as you're playing basketball! Some people wanting these for casual might not like the fit.

The EM is made to hug your foot on these.

 

[tdogg2k]

I'll be using them for drills and weight training. are they flat/low enough to the ground to do squats and other leg work with.?

^Some Stores Have Gone To "Reserves" For This Particular Release...... In Those Cases You Can Only Reserve 1 Of The 3 Releases Per Store

Reserved Kobe's, Brons And KDs Today Myself

This. I just reserved two Kobe's. Glad I won't have to put up with that online bs. 

 

[CosmicGhostRider]

I went TTS. I went a half size up on the 5s, 6s, and 7s. Loving that snug fit. It's incredibly light.

I think these will be great to work out in as well as hoop in. Can't wait to do some box jumps and other drills with them on.

 

[a-nice]

anybody know any websites getting the christmas 8's ? tryna avoid the hassle 

 

[CHAOSE57]

Can't wait for more colorways C'mon Nike, what's next?

 

[picasso swerve]

Only in the Kobe thread do we find people finding ways to dis-credit the new Kobe 8's.

I mean it is a Kobe discussion. It cant be all positives. As long as its done without general "hate".

The pythons look nice. Shozoku sleeve means...?

 

[grogu]

.5 size up. went to try my size before i reserved the christmas lights. you guys that are not certain should go try them on. 

 

[gausswho]

I went to my local Footlocker and asked if they were getting the Nike Basketball Christmas Pack, and they told me that it was a HOH release.

I am seriously doubting what they told me.  Any stores near you getting those shoes, specifically the Kobe 8's?  I'm thinking of copping those.

I just tried these on when I went to go pick up my XIs today. They feel amazing on feet. Not the biggest fan of the Sulfurs so I'll wait for a colorway I like, but I definitely see myself having a few pairs of these. Thankfully these put the Kobe line back on the right track after those really disappointing VIIs.

I bought KD V DMV's on yesterday at 12am midnight and they're already delivering today. I'm in Cali btw so that means they shipped them overnight express or w.e.

I didn't use any type of code, just the regular free shipping.

 

[dnero1]

soo are people having success using the FTL b-day coupon to purchase their Kobes??? or does it really depend on the FTL you go to?

 

[jordan23dotcom]

Depends

 

[s3p4tu]

In regards to sizing, like everyone else, you need to try them on. FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE KOBE 4, I'm able to fit my true size without having the need to go .5 or even a size up.

7 is the worst in terms of fitting and comfort.

I can see my self buying at least a pair.

thats how yall **** bottom out so fast, you not supposed to squat, deadlift, crosstrain in basketball shoes, once i realized that, my cushioning has been lasting so much longer
