Hi Guys
This is my first ever post and I need some help from you guys.
I apologize if I'm posting this in the wrong place.
A little bit about me:
- I was frequently on Niketalk around 2004-2008, though I've never posted.
- Gone away since then (feels good to be back).
- I've still kept up with some releases as a sneaker fan.
What I need help on:
I have Adidas KB8 Black x Gold Samples (Sz 9) that I am not really sure what the story behind it, exactly is.
Could anyone shed light?
Why?
I'm thinking about letting these go to fund my new startup. I'm selling most of my shoe's that I've collected (XI's, Travis Scott, etc) over the years.
I'm not entirely sure what to do with this pair, because I'm not entirely sure with what I am dealing with here.
But it's one of those shoe's that I feel I have a history with.
What I (think I) know:
- I bought these on Yahoo Auctions! in Japan. I don't remember when that was, but somewhere around 2002-2008-ish. I think I paid around $100-150.
- It's worn
- I don't think these are Crazy 8 samples because I believe Crazy 8's were retro-ed after that
- I can't find anything on the internet about what this sample is
- I remember seeing a picture of KB8 in this Black x Gold colorway which was supposedly a sample made for Kobe to celebrate his some kind of achievement
- I did a little digging on the Niketalk archive and found this:
So can any one help me understand what it is?
Is it just a sample? If so, why was this color made?
Why is Kobe wearing this color, playing in a mall in the Philippines?
Thanks Guys!
The video is insane. One of the best youtube clips I've seen in a while

- I also found this:oh unfortunately the blk/gold didnt came out to the public~ they were to celebrate kobe to win the dunk contest of the all star game.
