OFFICIAL NIKE KOBE 8 SYSTEM THREAD

[senorroboto2k5]

Are the Fiberglass shoes releasing 3/23 really the Pueple Fades?

As someone said, it's just speculation on the color description. No shots or samples have shown up yet, so we can't be 100000% sure yet. Likely bet is the grey/purple or purple fades.

1st time hooping in these, some of the inner Nike Check speckles has been scraped off.
Anyone know a good way to clean scuffs on the Heel? or the Material on the Toe Box?

try using a Mr Clean magic eraser for the scuffs on the heel.
it wont repair the scuffs but it should take the black markings off

Haven't you been proved wrong already on this one shoelicker?

No, I'm not wrong.

Fiberglass/Black/CourtPurple/LaserPurple Colorway:

Buy it first and ask questions later if given the opportunity. That should be every sneakerheads' maxim. You can always return it later, unless it was a not enough money issue. Then you're SOL. hahaha.

Don't sweat the ASG's bro, according to someone on this thread there should be another 15 colorways due to come out shortly, a total of 20 for this year's line. Maybe when they release more ID's patterns, you can make one you love.

Trying to soften the blow, I got my order cancelled by NDC when everyone else were receiving theirs. Now that's screwed up. But on to the next shoe, next colorway, so on and so forth. In the end it's just shoes.

Even though the ASG's were pretty sweet.

 

[richmond14]

No, I'm not wrong.

I think someone with more reliable info than you (who doesnt lick his shoes) contradicted you?

 

[chronicsneaker]

You're a fool if you think otherwise.  Keep dreaming.

 

[bigj505]

heard the KDs were really not comfy at all. kobes FTW!

 

[derkro]

Shout out to my boy tomtn for hooking me up! Not enough nter's like him! These are so sick in person....so much detail

 

[mister friendly]

not sure if you were being sarcastic, but found a pair of Retro V's in my size... only size left in the store

He was trying to be sarcastic

Haven't you heard?

Jordan's are so passé now

Real elite sneaker heads collect limited Kobes Lebrons, KDs and Foamposites.

Only newbs and ghetto people are still collecting Jays

 

[senorroboto2k5]

I will reiterate.

Fiberglass is the accent color on this shoe (atomic green/fiberglass)

Which can match up with the sole/swoosh on the Purple Fade; parts of the upper on the Grey/Purple inline-esque pair; or something entirely different.

This is supposed to be a thread about information on the Kobe 8. We don't want people confused as to what's coming out when no one knows for sure yet.

The plastic heel cup is scuffed up badly on mine after 3 wears. Magic eraser didn't do anything for it, nor did gentle soap and water. The shoes still look hot with the bright colors but uncleanable scuffs this early on are a pain. I've been having this sort of paint issues in different ways on all of my last Nike bball kicks.

 

[sk33termcg33]

Yeah the heel cup goes first and there's nothing you can really do I've tried I guess just gotta put up with it, sucks I know bro

 

[MVP]

Is there anyway to stop the annoying suction sound that happens with my 8s?

 

[richmond14]

KDs require a bit of break in time. They get better with each wear.

Still, Kobes > KDs

I use foot powder to keep my shoes dry and prevent any bad smells and I haven't had any noise issues.

I am also kicking you in my mind right now

 

[sk33termcg33]

Since we're all lace swappin

Took the grey laces off of my 2010 cool grey hyperdunks and thought they'd look good in these. I think they look great, what do y'all think?

 

[countonkobe]

McG33 looks good on that Blue Coral, only lace swap that actually makes sense and isn't an off the wall color.

 

[sosmoove]

Oh man. Those Dukes

 

[tmcgrady1]

I searched and some of you guys have said that you can do it or should be able to do it, but I didn't see anyone actually say they DID do it:

Can you take the unopened Sports Pack from the ASG VIIIs and return them to a Niketown and get a refund? Obviously you wouldn't have a receipt, but they would be able to give you store credit in the form of a gift card right? It retails for $80, so if you got a refund for that then it would actually make the VIIIs in the Sports Pack cheaper than just the + enabled one .

So, has anyone done this?

Someone has to have at least attempted this, right?
