OFFICIAL NIKE KOBE 8 SYSTEM THREAD

[dnero1]

the blk/gld elites are nice just too plain for the price tag.. will wait it out for discount..

at first the grn/blue elites were too loud for me.. since seeing that vid i am debating picking up a pair!!

 

[size11please]

So much for skipping the elites like last year...damn. Big Stage status. Dammmit. Now i feel the Green ones will collect dust in stores.

 

[CHAOSE57]

I wish the sulfurs got the full logo treatment

 

[Black Lotus]

FULL GOLD SHOZOKU . 

baby got back 

 

 

 

[frenchblue23]

Dude went HAM with the gifs!!!!



i aint eem mad!

"Someone" is gonna come in here and tell him to stop the unnecessary hype and to stop beastin'

I wish the sulfurs got the full logo treatment

I'm sure Nike sold enough socks, so now the new releases are getting the full logos

 

[Black Lotus]

If those Elites were the same price as the EXTs, I'd be inclined to agree with you...

But the $140 EXTs trumps those $200 Black/Gold Elites...IMO

yea the heel clip killed it for me... just cant pull the trigger on those EXTs... and if i wanna cop an Elite pair... aways over the heros.... that gold shozoku is just so damn fresh

 

[lavaroshe]

baby got back 

 

 

gotta hope it's not like last years easy chip metallic gold paint.. you'd think they leaned from that though

 

[405chrisokc]

Yeah, General Release... but with Nike these days that can mean anything. My definition of a GR would be a mass-produced shoe that you could stroll in any day and get, but that's not always the case anymore. So beware

Do Nike outlets get KDs and Kobes? I called my local outlet one day and she said they don't give them KDs...but I didn't ask about Kobes.

How does it work with Outlets getting these popular shoes?

 

[urn0tlike]

I like the look of the black/gold... But I won't be paying retail again for some elites. If I get them on sale, great. If not, my big stages will be more than enough

This. Only would get these at half price. Im more than satisfied with my Big stages.

 

[grogu]

black ext is still a great shoe though

 

[Black Lotus]

i doubt itll happen with the Kobe 8s being that the upper is EM and doesnt bend n crease like those lebron IXs or even Kobe 7s

 

[swaynomics930]

The best part of this shoe, but they look too similar to last year IMO pass seems like purple fades and amnesties (if they release) and that will be it for the 8s until further notice

FULL GOLD SHOZOKU .

Details on BS KB V > Gimmicks on KB 8 Elite

 

[dark steel]

As nice as the Black/Gold Elites look, they can't compare to my Big Stage Vs...

The Big Stages have the lore of Kobe's 5th championship behind them, while this years Elites could possibly equal a first round Playoff KO...

 

[Black Lotus]

black ext is still a great shoe though

your opinion... the heel literally killed it for me dude... i like the pattern n icy sole the swoosh n shozoku are eh coulda been better but the lack of heel clip was what cop blocked me 

 

[405chrisokc]

Can someone help a newbie out, and tell me what is wrong with these shoes and why they are cheap?

Posting the pics again and I don't care, shoes must be had!

Interesting that the Kobe's don't release until June 1 thought, help my pocket out though.

Hope they go on sale like the 7s did I know it's way too early tho

 

[thapointguy]

Wonder if the Homes will be any different

 

[405chrisokc]

Obviously not . Remember if the price is to good to be true then something is wrong

Ok, I figured as much, wanted to confirm. Thanks all who replied.
