OFFICIAL NIKE KOBE 8 SYSTEM THREAD

[kobeoverbron]

yeah, kobe seems to like the venomenons. Nike might be pushing him to wear them though.
I like that plain kobe 8. better than the plain 7s. sexy midsole looks nice.

 

[nikekid6]

What's he wearing tonight ? Look like fire

Think they are the VIII. They showed a quick second of him tying his shoe

This is the best pic I could get so far. Haven't caught up with the game yet. Venomenon it is.

Edit: Got a better look a second later.

Look like normal basketball shoes..... From that pic at least

 

[trunkz550]

^Those are pretty sick

 

[grogu]

They look(are) exactly like these. 

 

[supremekickz]

Can it be? The VIII? Or another false alarm like last time?

 

[urn0tlike]

Those are not the Viii, their the crapnomenons

[619destroyer858]

[rl_wayne]

so thats the VIII's???

No, those are the Venomenons. He hasn't worn the VIIIs yet, and I kinda doubt he will til December. He's usually debuted the new sigs each year on Xmas anyway.

 

[kobeoverbron]

guys cmon. HE WILL NOT WEAR THE 8s TIL XMAS. when did he ever debut his new sig
BEFORE xmas the past 3 years?

 

[tmcgrady1]

I know that they don't debut the new Kobes until Christmas day, but seriously, why? Why has KD BEEN wearing them and LeBron also has and we've seen literally 10+ colorways of his Xs? What's the actual explanation for it? Is it just because it's like tradition now? I'm really curious.

 

[nikerider]

^Kobe makes the rules, that's why.

 

[AIR J XIII]

^They wear them from the start of the season because they're shoes release sooner, very simple concept.

You gon learn t'day. Nike needs to spread release/product launches so that their
Own products will not compete with each other. Everyone can just buy lebrons or just kobes on RD. lebron starts off the season then kobe kicks off xmas with some crazy colorway. That simple. Been like that for years.

 

[nike4kja05]

The volt colorway is nice. If some red was thrown on there for a Christmas colorway, woo game over.

Ah okay. The spreading releases out thing definitely makes sense. Just when everyone's seen and bought Lebrons and some KDs, then BAM. The Kobes drop lol.

 

[Kobekobe]

He's probably wearing these cause he thinks the vii are trash too.

if im correct. He debuted the Kobe IV before christmas

 

[acbboyz84]

Nike should just release the Venomeno whatever for $89 so i can test them out on the court. Kobe seem to play well in them. Shoes probably feel real light and has good traction

Horrible sneaker
