Official Nike KD VIII (8) Thread - "Easy Euro" OCTOBER 17th!!

[mister friendly]

Does the KD 8 feel similar to the KD VI Elite?

In terms of cushioning?

 

[tigo0240]

Cushioning is much better on the VI Elite. This model has big plastic pieces in the heel and lateral side that prevent the zoom from compressing (which means no cushion).

180.00-200.00 MSRP and that elongated heel turned a ton of folks off.

Now performance wise they're exceptional . That full length articulated zoom is great.

Anyone think the BHM colorway will hit sales prices?

i think its safe to say all colorways will go on sale

The question is how much of a sale do you want. My kd8 price is $125 or lower right now. http://m.sneakersnstuff.com/en/search/searchbytext?key=Kd

Was in TN for a basketball tournament. Nike outlet in pigeon forge, TN had white ext for $99 and black ext for $149. Both had an extra 20% off.

Usually half price off retail is a great deal. $70 average for these.

thats about right...to me they look like some 79.99 msrp kicks

I liked the pics of the Elites of from the Nike press release, then I saw the on-feet pics which weren't as flattering.

It doesn't matter anyway as the KD8s are too narrow for my feet.

XMas colorway on sale for 129.99 at FTL's.

Elites are expensive, gimmicky, unnecessary.

And i must have the grey ones.

the compression on the elites are gross.

 

[reclune83]

Elites are 200.00, White and Black pairs will be had. If they feel or perform anything like the Kobe IX Elite they gonna be money

I'll rock them casually just because y'all claim they can't be
