OFFICIAL NIKE KOBE 8 SYSTEM THREAD

Picked these up today, $87 after military discount + bday coupon + VIP reward card. Oh and I paid with a store credit, so they were free :smokin

Nice man
 
you can't just say something looks better than another based off pics.  a picture doesn't capture what it truly looks like in person on some sneakers.  like whenever I take pictures of the Black Elites, they don't really come out as great in the pictures. But in person, I can't stop looking at them.  The Gold meshes PERFECT.  You can hardly tell there are metallic specs on the laces unless you're really staring at it, but obviously you'll see them a lot more in pictures due to lighting and angles.  Some sneakers just look different in real life and you should see them in person before passing judgement.

Man these MCs look live af in person :hat
Finally im able to get a 13.5 it feels great on foot too bad they are tough to come by in the U.S

My box came a little banged up but not as bad as some other people's. Shoes are in great condition except for in the right toe box it goes upward toward the tip. Kinda weird but whatever they gonna be rocked anyway.

I'm satisfied with 24Seg tho :hat
Definitely gonna order from them in the future.

did you receive them today?
 
Whoever got the Big Stages got the better end of that deal.

IMO BL 5s + BHM 8s > Big Stages, can't say no to 2 for 1 especially if hes wearing them and then Chaos for the other 2 Kobe 8s is pretty fair too. This is one of the better trades I've seen where it's just a matter of personal preference on the traders involved. At the end of the day, we always want what we don't have

And the fakes have made improvements that people are bidding on them w/o any clue. 

Like this one. I see people win fakes and I want to message them about it, but I don't feel like getting involved. Last time I tried to inform somebody, they went off on me.

yeah.. like a vigilante kobehead? lol just let them be man... as much as you're tryna help them, they might feel that you're on to something.
 
Is $220 the average aftermarket price for some Easters shipped? That's what I'm seeing on Ebay.

Not sure if I'm overpaying or not.
I sold mines for $160 like a month ago locally. Even though eBay prices are slightly inflated, I think I hooked up the buyer a little too much ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
I just felt bad because the guy paid $300 for a fake pair of xmas. I told the guy that he might want to get a legit check and he responded by telling me I don't know anything about Kobes and that I'm some little kid that should go back to having my mommy buy me sneakers.

All good though. I'll just hug my 4 pairs of authentic xmas Kobes.
 
@kobeoverlebron, does this mean they finally rid the line of this ridiculously "modularity". I personally have shied away from the line these last 2 years because I wasn't able to use my own insole in the shoe and instead was force to use the stock insole. The "orthotic" ready option is just pure BS in my opinion.

As kobe stated before with the 7s, modularity is the future. they've perfected the 8s so I can't see anything wrong with it right now. I actually like it. Right now I'm just using one insole for all my 8s... I fully expect that new shoe/Kobe 8 feel when I switch to my DS inserts.

So are the 9s good or what?

depends on how you define good. From the design perspective, it's pretty exciting. But there are a few other details not concerning the actual shoe that could/will be a factor.
 
hmm still need

blue lights
purple fades
blue blitz
red camo
possible the supernaturals

Straight up one of the nicest shoes I've ever seen in person. The colors just pop so well together. More than worth that 2 hour drive to get them.

Don't sweat it bro lol. I know the thread can be harsh at times on newbies, which he clearly was but if he wants to jump stupid at you for helping then it is what it is.
 
I wanted to see them in person before I bought them. I live in Wilmington, NC...I had to drive to Crabtree Mall in Raleigh to get em.
