OFFICIAL NIKE KOBE 8 SYSTEM THREAD

Are the purple fades the only fade type pattern?   I'd love a black to silver fade.

Hey fellow kobe heads that use the 8s for sports,


Has the lunarlon worn down for you guys? I use the Xmas for Volleyball and my knees feel shot and sore after an hour of play. I tore my ACL last year and had surgery and what not.

Should I switch out the soles?

Thanks
You might be best just wearing different shoes. I love this shoe but I can't hoop in em. Knee pain even on a new pair so its not the lunarlon bottoming. I hoop In hyperdunks instead and no knee pain. I don't totally understand it though because I thought hyperdunks were also lunarlon cushioning?
 
Only real problem I have with the WTK 8's is that they look like two completely different shoes, and i'd feel like a fool wearing them. 

EDIT: I also just had a dream where I met Kobe Bryant and Shaq, they were going one on one, both rocking Lakers jersey's, Shaq with the Shaqnosis (Black and White) and Kobe with the Purple Gradients. I had court seats and everything lol was very weird.

Can't remember if anyone has posted this but here's the two different laces on the Sparks that came with this pair. Birthday kicks for this weekend in LA!
 
Really wanted the sparks. Nike coulda made their money if they released those here in the US. No way I could pay what others here were able to. You guys have a great shoe for sure.
 
Makes sense too, during lakers trip to china. I see the different kobe 8 colorways in there but I also see some Chinese elements and inspiration in there too.
 
Nike on that Asia tip again? What a joke. Homie lives in the US, makes zero sense to make 90 pair for China only. Nike building anger in me with this line. Eeefffiiinnngggg lame:{
 
It really bums me out that Nike does something of this nature and makes it exclusive to CHINA. China? Come on, it's the same place the fakes will come from. Since the 8s started, Nike has been jerkin around with this line. I thought they wanted to destroy the resale market not boom it.

I repeat. I'm not feeling the wtk but it sucks for those here in the US that do. This is an American athlete playing for a american team. What's going on here, Nike?
 
Well I don't feel nearly as bad as I did with the Sparks being Asia only!

Now I just need those Mine Grey's and i'll be good.
 
Could he mean that China is only getting 90 pairs and the US might get some too? You never know with nike, they randomly have hyperstriked anticipated releases such as the asg galaxy blake griffins.

Question though.... why would nike even think, hmmm.... we'll make 90 pairs of these even though we could sell thousands and put them in china only... like what the **** when can I buy a ******g shoe I really want.
