I don't think it's been confirmed anywhere yet, still just assumed. But some of the preorder sites that said they'd be getting them have cancelled their Fireworks orders, and prices at the few places that do have them keep rising, like Kicks-Crew. The retail release for the Fireworks just in China by itself was already kinda limited since the only confirmed place that released them in-store was the main Nike store in Shanghai, otherwise you had to get them on NDC China.
I mean, you can never say never with these things until the Kobe 9 drops since there's still Sept to Nov. But I know a few dudes were hoping the Year of the Dragon Kobe VIIs would drop stateside last year, and they never came. He's had multiple China/Asia exclusives dating back to the Kobe Is.

I'd been told a while back that they were rumored to release around late Sept/ early Oct, but the same sources seem somewhat skeptical now as time has moved on. Apologies to NT for getting anyone's hopes up. Feeling like Chris Broussard over here.
Also I've yet to see where it's been confirmed that they aren't releasing, although at this point no news appears to be bad news. Word on the street is that they were some kind of 'Clot' collab exclusive. Who's Clot? Anyone know?

Has anyone seen any demands for the Amnesty outside of Niketalk? I have not, AT ALL. Even from other friends who mess with sneakers. Of course the name was mostly given here but I don't ever hear anyone asking about the black laker cw Kobe wore, 2 times?

^^CLOT is a lifestyle brand based in Hong Kong/China I think.
And in case there was still any doubt left about Pit Vipers = Purple Dynasty, I just saw this article about Nike doing a "Purple Dynasty" pack, and the shoes in this pack have the same exact type of colored upper as the Pit Vipers.
http://www.sneakerfreaker.com/sneakers/nike-purple-dynasty-pack/
So I guess of remaining colorways, it's Tony the Tigers, Pit Vipers, Mine Grey, and that Halloween/Green Glow colorway? Or are the Green Glows the same as the Pit Vipers? Seems like news keeps changing about the last few colorways.

CLOT collab?
you mean this article?
http://www.theheatcheck.com/2013/08/clot-x-kobe-8.html
i don't think so cause every clot collaboration with nike they will have CLOT logo on it and in here (shanghai) they will hype it for sure. CLOT brand itself is very famous in china especially in shanghai becoz it's owned by Edison Chen (HK artist) and they already done numerous collaboration with other brand including nike, adidas, converse, etc

Finally got my FTL rewards ive been waiting on for months... had to call a few times. Ultimately, they accused me of being an employee and had denied me my points. Had to explain I hadn't done FTL work in 2 years. I think I still got shafted out of some points but I got emailed 3 $20 certs.
Im debating on the navy LeBron soldier 7s or a TB, I mean PP, KB8. Soldiers are $25 cheaper and seem like they will be better for ball. Beast in me wants them black/blue PPs tho. Decisions :x

This is my first pair so I was wondering if anyone else had the same issue. Great shoe though.

The ONLY downside to the kobes is they do just that. Unless your socks are high enough, the tongue cuts right into your leg. It sucks because I prefer no show socks.
