OFFICIAL NIKE KOBE 8 SYSTEM THREAD

I was on the fence about the ASG. I passed on them originally but saw some amazing pics that got me a little interested. Decided to cop off kickz and make my decision to keep or not after I have them in hand. Mine come in on this Friday.
 
i think black heel clip woulda been dope with kobe sig. written in that bright citrus/ crimson color ;)


I agree with him. That heel cup looks off to me. Had to pass.


Yeah black heel clip with grey sole would've been an insta-cop. One less 8 for me that's okay...


If you can wear the ASG you can wear those Barfelona :lol


Preach it.

My rebuttal to this shoe as I have gotten mine in tday is

The sole is so bright red it looks kinda sorta kinda sorta reddish pink

I did a lace swap with the python laces tho

Goes great, but overall, not too impressed with the sole

I dont mind the color of this heel cup, but black would set it off tho, with a darker sole
 
It's the one with the teal fade to yellow, fade to purple. Has the swoosh and black midsole.
Purple swoosh or black swoosh, I don't care. The first Kobe 8 colorway that has caught my eye. I think the sulfurs are growing on me. Saw a pic of the blacked out upper which i thought looked pretty clean too.
 
Here you go guys...





Sole is clear not yellow I guess.
How did nike come up with this colorway

Where are the laker colorways, geesh. There should be a home & away pack with the ones kobe wears at home and the purple gradients, that would be nice.

pretty sure kobe's daughters were given some playdoh and that was that.
 
Anybody else not really feelin the easters?  Just don't really feel that 3 color blocking... hmmm.
 
:{ at all the negative talk towards the red camos...

I'm not hating on em but as bad as I wanted them...when I saw em in person yesterday(fsr @ my ftl.) I kinda backed up and thought these aren't really worth retail...but it did make respect the yots design enough to play around with ID again
 
Here goes my kobe 8 EXTs. My first Kobe and might be my only for now. Well it's been fun guys.

Won't lie, I'm a die hard Houston Rockets fan and a big Laker hater lol. With the current playoff race, I can't show too much love here. Can't believe I'm even supporting black mamba during this time. If the Lakers end up pushing the Rockets out of the playoffs, I might have to burn these.

See yall on 4-20! Could be a HUGE last game of the season.

My top 5

1. BHM
2. Red Camo
3. Python
4. Sulfurs 
5. Xmas

Yes, I put the Pythons that high, and yes, I bought them. 

Python's are vastly underrated.

I don't know what the hell those sherbet looking Kobe's are, but the more wack c/w's the better.

Between the 8's and all the Roshe's coming out this month, my wallet is begging for mercy.
 
Christmas, Red Camos, Pythons, sulfurs are my top 4. No particular order...

I finally tried these on yesterday and was blown away by the comfort factor...

That being said I've still yet to make a purchase and have no intentions on doing so anytime soon...It's sad that Nike has yet to release a nice understated colorway for this shoe and unfortunately this has caused me to pass on picking up a pair...It's the first time since the V's that I haven't copped a Kobe sneaker but unless Nike decides to tone down the loud *** prints or makes some more solid color-up options available over on NikeID I'm still not taking the jump...

Had the Pythons been a part of a Veteran's Day pack or something, or hit with the limited stamp, they would have flown off shelves. It's all good though. Got mine and love them. And I agree, those multicolored Kobe's are heinous.
