OFFICIAL NIKE KOBE 8 SYSTEM THREAD

[bucknuteagle]

I honestly don't mind the price raise since I know a portion of the proceeds are going to a charitable cause. I also wonder if there is a small hike in price due to the detail added to the uppers. But most likely its due to the charity.

They've always donated part of the proceeds to charity, just like they do with the Doernbecher releases and the Kay Yow releases, but this is the first time that I remember them hiking the price to go along with it. At this point NIKE is doing nothing for the charity, they're just collecting an extra $20 from US that they'll be able to write off as an additional charitable deduction on their taxes.

True, unfortunately they hold the market and it'll pry be this way from here on out. Wonder if there's a breakdown on how much goes to charity of each shoe sold from past releases compared to this years to give a better idea what exactly were throwing our money at.

FEELING THE BHM. WILL TRY TO COP

 

[jada2001retro]

TLO only & $160, no way.

I do think the Kobe is the best of the 3, the KD & X are GARBAGE.

 

[jada2001retro]

Thank you, Nike, for putting the BHM on the inside tongue. I like it better that way.

Me too, now people won't look at me weird when they see I'm not black and have BHM on my shoe.

Does Kicks-Crew take the money up front or when they ship? Thanks for any info

Sometimes I wish Kobe would have himself printed on a shirt dunking or something, I have one of him in a black shirt with yellow splotches with the ball, and it's actually him, not a cartoon. Still a good shirt though.

Up front. I don't recommend pre ordering from kicks-crew, as they hold onto your money and quite often extend release dates by up to a month. Has happened to me on several occasions. Customer service is also terrible, takes days to reply to emails, and usually avoid answering the question. Apart from that, they aren't too bad. Legit shoes, and usually ship quickly if in atock

3.23.2013 Nike Kobe VIII System Fiberglass/Black/Court Purple/Laser Purple (?)


via FTL

jus wanna make sure im on point

Excited for this..seems like its the purple fade

My money is on the grey upper purple midsole joints, the colorway is usually base/logo-accents

 

[kishin]

Yeah they had a total of four different shirts to go with the pythons and red shorts. the other two shirts one was the squadron green with brown "kobe" lettering and the other was grey with a crazy red graphic of a python , kinda like a conan barbarian style.

every VIII colorway is SOLID as hell :x

BHM are beautiful IMO

i hope those red VIII's arent limited, might cop those if i dont see an inline/concord soon.

 

[Bert.]

so only NDC is getting them and by twitter link only? I dont get it?

It means NDC tweets the link to buy them.  But chances are once you see the link tweeted, It'll be sold out.

TLO>>>>>>>>>>>

on a GR ive always had luck with most releases with twitter link.

Bred XI were NOT TLO so i missed out on them

 

[cachooka man]

I love them BHM VIII. I'll try to cop if they available. I love the white sole and the orange hits. Way better than the LeBron X.

Thanks for the info. I have been scouring these pages for about an hour. The YOTS collection release dates that have been posted are in China correct?
