OFFICIAL NIKE KOBE 8 SYSTEM THREAD

[rosegoldsluggs]

Seems like everyone wore purple fades today
They have become my shoes to ball in and man they getting kinda beat up scuffs and scratched everywhere kinda makes me sad lol.

O well just another reason to cop a DS pair. I'm gonna prolly buy a 13.5 that's my true size and man does it make a huge difference! Wish they would release more in the U.S

Thanks just wanted to make sure. Saw a pre order on the bay for 300 :x

I just saw a listing for like 179.95 + 15 shipped from a seller with good feedback. Seems to have every size and doesn't specify pre-order, but I don't know if he actually has them or what.

[kobeoverbron]

so, out of curiosity I searched: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...709&US%20Shoe%20Size%20%28Men%27s%29=10&rt=nc

didn't realized the purple fades was that sold out over there. we still got loads in MNL even with the big Kobe following.

 

[619destroyer858]

Same in Korea. Every single Kobe 8 (except the Mambacurial) sat on shelves for a decent amount of time. Not long ago I saw the red suede NSW still sitting at a store.

zero,

kobe was traded to the bulls...

 

[dipsetgeneral]

Passed on the Stadium Greys this weekend after missing out on the restock. Big mistake?

only if you liked them.

nope. money saved for the next release

Very true. I asked this question before but never got a response... What's up with the distribution of the 8's in stores!?!?! It's either they fly off Champs and Footlocker shelves or Nike is giving Kobe the short end of the stick, and letting LeBreezy and Kevin get all the shine. I never see 8's in stores!!

[klrossjr]

Footaction is the best place to get Kobe 8 in store.

You're welcome.

 

[iks mod]

Milk snakes are nice...

Agreed that with a black midsole they would be even better

 

[chiacrack]

I wish the outsole was black on the blood clots, but regardless gonna cop them

 

[jukeboxjoey]

Was just at the new HoH in menlo park mall in nj and they have volts,fades,blue blitz,sh elites and black elites if anyone is interested.

 

[Black Lotus]

Jordan XX8

those look gross and the price is insane on em.... if id go for another shoe comfort wise... id say go with the roshes IG. i hear theyre the same comfort if not better and for half the price of kobe 8s

 

[glcceo3]

Could someone with artistic specialties be able to paint the out soles black on the "Milk Snakes/Coy Fish/Blood Clots/Marshmallow Checkers"? I feel like there has to be someone creative enough to do it.

 

[Black Lotus]

heyyy. was thinking about picking up some black elites for bball purposes, but was wondering if the gold would chip off. how are they holding up for you???

these are nothing like the elites last year... the swoosh seems to be a gold mesh with a clear finish on it to protect from fading or scraping off. very thick and durable imo. imagine the supernaturals how the swoosh is like a plastic, instead of it being made up of a solid color its transparent and under that plastic is the gold mesh swoosh

Everytime I see a pic of those Red Boas, I fall more and more in love.

7/27 here we go...
