OFFICIAL NIKE KOBE 8 SYSTEM THREAD

[iheartboost]

omg the black snake skin and red nubuck yots is the sickest kobes I seen in awhile

 

[geeplus]

Tested out my XDR soles today on an indoor floor. For anyone on the fence, about performance. "They felt the same if not better"

FNL will be carrying the teal/purple/yellow fade pair.


also these elites are on the list, not sure what "Macy's HSQ only" means...



04/27/13 586156-300 POISON GREEN/BLCKND BL-HYPR BL (MACY'S HSQ ONLY) KOBE 8 SYSTEM ELITE


can't wait to see this pair

I'm pretty sure Macy's HSQ is Macy's Herald Square

That makes sense. I remember reading an article posted on here about FNL striking a deal with Macy's that would put mini FNL stores inside of Macy's.

these your doubles bro?
nice pic up there Sdubl

Yes, doubled on all CWs so far except for the Xmas as I tripled...

some people only want to cop limited sneakers! why? cause they like having a pair that will stand out among the crowd. not saying every limited pair stands out, but i can feel where someone is coming from if they choose to stand out. True his question came off real hypebeast-like, if he is a hypebeast thats messed up, but if he just a dude that like wearing kicks he aint gonna see everywhere he go then i dont see a problem. Coming up in the 80s and 90s in Brooklyn, nobody wore the same stuff on purpose, you tried to find that exclusive heat to break necks. idk, times changed i guess. plus with the limited stuff, once you done rockin it, you could sell or trade easier than a pair you can find anywhere after it release.

Thats the only reason why I buy limited releases is to stand out, just don't wont to be part of the GR clones im so used to seeing

Buying sneakers to "stand out".



When will this petty mentality end?

I honestly buy sneakers to be like MJ/Kobe and for comfort (Lunars, frees, etc.)... I think my reasons
are the stupidest. I still have that feeling back when I was a kid... Rocking Js (Kobes now)
and walking like a million Pesos.

 

[Deleted member 37467]

Buying Jordans or Kobes doesn't make you like Jordan or Kobe, .

Them lunar insoles, though, .

 

[jslimm 1985]

Would love to see that but I don't think that's not gonna happen.

Nike needs to leave the cloak CW alone. Just my opinion. Plus I think that would be extremely hard to duplicate on that EM upper anyway.

Crazy how much better the Kobe 8s are than the LeBron X. Been trying to lurk and avoid liking too many colorways, but pretty much every colorway is sick. Hope these drop.

Last picture was an iphone pic that didn't turn out so well so I tried to take a picture was a little better representation of how they look in person.

Pic is a little dark because when i use the flash it makes the red on the shoe look washed out and thats not how they really look.

I'm admittedly not a big fan of the Kobe VIII's outside of Xmas and ASG colorways but even though I liked those I still didn't cop but seeing the red suede made me jump and you can't get the red suede without the black mamba yots.

Placebo. LMAO

 

[swish]

Anyone noticed that the full Shuzoku makes you play harder, better, faster and stronger?

Yots's are weak IMO, next buy for me are the purple fades as of now. Everything else looks ok but I wouldn't mind waiting for them to go on sale or passing

 

[captainsneakerhead23]

I tried to pass on the Supernaturals but they were poppin in person. Kinda upset the broad at the register wouldn't let me use my b'day coupon (first time this has happen to me) . It's all good though I'll make up for it this weekend with the red camos ....

To bad he sucked with them, hope he changes to something else.
