OFFICIAL NIKE KOBE 8 SYSTEM THREAD

[osubass1]

And why would Nike sell us, crappy quality shoes, but Asia, gets nicer, more durable?

you've got it exactly backwards.

it's just like high performance tires for your car. the higher the expected performance the softer the rubber. if you're driving on gravel roads all day long, they're going to wear out faster than if you used them on smooth asphalt. that doesn't mean they are "crappy quality".

the US version of the Kobes uses a softer, stickier outsole. this is a much higher performance outsole than the GC shoes.

it wears out quicker when used on a surface where it was not intended, such as outdoors, but when used on an indoor court, as intended, it can't be beat.

Dukes are tough.....Westchesters are still #1 in my book

I would rather have these than the VBs.

 

[thapointguy]

That's a spot-on analogy osubass1.

$120 shipped for Easters? Nice!


Red suedes > red camo > red snakes

Still looking to double up on red suedes for a good price. I can't resist wearing them weekly.

This! However wearing them so much is the reason why they are all jacked up now, stupid suede material

I have question for those with the EXT collection. Since the upper material is different than the regular 8s do they crease easily?

Better than the lebron 10 lifestyle

 

[blacklion23]

I respect y'all's opinions, but y'all are crazy saying those red snakes are better than red camos

This. From the pics we've seen Red Camos>>>>Red Snakes
Need to see better pics of the red snakes, though.......

SN calls it the "Mexican Blanket" which seems a little off

If anything these should be the Kobe N7

No Kobe should be called a 'N7' anything...no matter the colorway.

LMFAO. Whos buying crap like this?

 

[Magic33]

not mine... the blue pair looks fresh!!

I hate that they gave dook dope PE's

I really think Skylar is overrated. She's on that Brittany Griner female basketball player scale. As an ordinary chick she's just ok.

LMFAO. Whos buying crap like this?

First thing I thought when I saw these too. Sooo they put out a "Mexican blanket" before a Laker CW? Lol

First thing I thought of was these must be called the 'Gone Fishin'...

I can see Kobe on the back of a boat, out on the sea, using a blanket with that hideous pattern over his legs while he's waiting to nab that marlin...

I really want her to sit on....uh oops I mean what a cool looking pair of Kobe 8 PEs lol I hope she gets more PEs. I'll have to start watching WNBA now when it starts to see her

 

[s dubl]

I like those lifestyle Kobes. Colorway not so much... Give me a simple colorway, for the right price I'd be all over it. Especially if they have a lunar insole or something.

Remind me of the Koston 1s. Probably where they got the inspiration.

 

[seandon23]

I think in today's time many people go for the bright and crazy colors which is why nike gives us these silly cws. I think what s dubl said is true. A simple cw for this shoe would be very nice
