OFFICIAL NIKE KOBE 8 SYSTEM THREAD

so then what are the red and white ones posted a few pages back as well?

i thought there was no confirmation to which was the one actually releasing.
 
It hasn't been confirmed as of yet which pair will release. I actually think the Red Snakes resemble the Red Boa more so than the black uppers and the red/white pair.
 
In from NDC yesterday. I dont buy blue shoes but this is my 1st pair. The comfort, the crimson and ice bottoms made me pull the trigger.

I noticed these bluish stains/discolorations on the sole of my xmas pair similar on the BBs someone posted a while ago.. how do i remove them? SMH! I swear they weren't there  before.. Im trying to recall what couldve caused them, maybe my stepping on my car's break a lot? lol the paper inside the box bleeding?

I just checked all my non-GC xmas pairs. All pretty consistent with a dark spot near the big toe joint, where the rubber outsole ends and the carbon fiber starts. Nothing as noticeable as Five05 though. I wonder what it is.
 

Since the red/white on feet pic surface, just reaffirms that the black/red are indeed a PS. Whoever posted it and didn't provide a link to where he found it on NDC was sketchy. :{

Did you keep the paper inside the box? I always take that out and store the receipt with any paper insert inside a plastic bag used for comics, its easier to keep track of everything that way and I guess it helps prevent shoes with clear soles from yellowing but I do with it with every shoe I own.Plus that Kobe paper is almost wax like, I can't imagine that would be good for the shoe long term
 
The discoloration on the translucent sole is probably chemical reaction to the no-sew piece of the toe box or the reaction to the acid in the tissue paper. I'm no chemist or whatever so I'm just guessing lol.
 
I think most of my kobes are sitting on my floor or in the bin where my fiancé tosses all of my shoes that have been sitting around. only pair I can think that's not on the floor would be the volts.

Could be the tissue paper Cause The stain goes on like a streak where it touches the paper Smh. Got any idea how i can remove the stain? tried akcohol and laundry detergent to no avail.. Dont wanna sxrub the soles too much tho

The white and that pattern is what sets it off tho.

No, it really was on NDC . If you go to the Nike basketball website and scroll down you'll see the BB. That's where that black pair was seen.

I think its dye which is pretty much in there.
I wouldn't worry too much considering there are tons of colors on the shoe already and only a hater would stare at your shoes long enough to see the discoloration.

edit:
did a quick google for remove dye from rubber and got this:
