I've been balling in the VIs again and if the VIIIs can be like them and breathable I'm all for it. Would Lunarlon bottom out more quickly? That's my only concern with these...

This insole looks like it's going to be a problem. I couldn't wear last year's model because of those ridges around the edge. I had to return them after trying them on at home for the first time. I hate how the Kobe line has become a stupid gimmick because of the whole "system". Just make a shoe that doesn't cut people's feet.
There's a reason why all of these went straight to the sales rack last year Nike...

i didnt buy the 7s because of the insoles. the insoles had a nasty curve on the inside of ones feet where the curve is at. it was so uncomfortable. these soles look normal compared to the 7's high arc. if these are comfy i will definitely be buying these. what colorway i have not clue yet.

It's a QS most likely. It's best we wait for the first week of Dec for teasers...
My only concern with the insole is... there's nothing our socks can stick to.

Meaning when you play in them, while you slip inside the shoe?
Like I said, it was a threeway tie for me. 4,5,6... But recently,
I just realized the fit, cushioning, support and design is just
superior. IMO.
So I'd understand if people choose either of the three. They're all amazing.
I'd compare them to the Jordan XI, 3 and 6... They're all great and it's pretty hard to choose
which one's better (III for me).

QFT and Repped!!
To me the Kobe IV's had the same amount of colorways that the KD IV's had.

Well I hoping ID can save that pattern a little. It doesn't seem bad, I guess I just fell in love with the VI and was hoping for more after the VII.

I think they will hold up very well if it's a durable sticky rubber, foam, whatever material it is. The raised scales add grip too i'd imagine. The standard insole liner that they usually come with would wear out and become slippery esp when your foot gets sweaty. Fit, comfort, and performance looks to be established, just needs to work on the aesthetics and colorways.

Answers concerns about the upper patterns.
The pattern and speckled midsole and translucent outsole is all great. The colors aren't

I have to see he finished product but they look promising. They need to ditch the yellow sole though.
