OFFICIAL NIKE KOBE 8 SYSTEM THREAD

[mrsoleking88]

Why is everything about hype and sales? Are u ppl serious? I mean if u go in the history N7 has slowly over the years put more items into the collection last summer was the first time for KD's to be In the collection and they came out dope. Why not put a Kobe8 which is a dope shoe in general and put together a dope A** CW. There's always so much negativity about concepts but when the numbers are low there a must have and when the numbers are high it's just for sales. If u like the CW cop it, if not dont talk bad about it! It's still the same shoe lol

i never said that. the fact that people are coming up with these names for shoes just makes me shake my head.

And u show me where before last year a sig shoe was on there? It's a collection that's only growing what's wrong with a kobe8 getting in ?

nothing at all if Nike is doing it for the right intentions, which I highly doubt they are. They would only do it to boost sales, and add another tax write off. I doubt theyd be doing it for the cause...

Sorry if already posted, I know someone tried posting the link this morning to Nike's official press release but it wasn't working. So here it is again for anyone that wants to read up on the shoes

No not new... Had to get a new acct. still baffles me what ppl be sayin

 

[revan]

if Nike brings the KB line into N7, its just to generate hype and sales. Pretty lame if you ask me.

Super Lame.

Lol I have nothing against Natives (Indians what I call them) but in a country where we try to preach so much about equality among races, religions, genders, and sexuality ... why is there still preferential treatment. I understand the land and government thing but personally I just think its stupid. And the 1 thing that drives me absolutely insane is the freaking sports teams names and having to change them. If they EVER change the Braves, Indians, Seminoles, & ******** .. I will no longer be a baseball or football fan

Sorry wrong thread (if there even is one) but that N7 just hit the switch

I feel the same way.

Only way to really bring equality to just stop talking about it.

Anyways...

Elites will be passed unless better colorways surface.

Of course they weren't gonna replicate the Grinch but they have a Grinch feel even though the shade of green is different. Could be Hulk inspired or Tribute to Bruce Lee's Green Hornet? Whatever they'll sell out.

Nike's that was sent to my store yesterday

Which release calendar are you referencing to?

Has anybody done a red lace swap on the Blue corals? An actual blue coral snake has red on its head and tail. With the right size lace and color I think it would look pretty good. Would like to see it before I bought a pair. Thanks!!

Idk about that one

IMO I don't think it'd compliment one another but that's just me

i tweeted some stuff yesterday. The only stuff I remember off the top of my head is that there is a "Pool Party" pack for the lebron, kd, kobe(non elites) that is coming out in either april or may. Desc was current blue I believe.

There is a stadium grey pair scheduled for May. 

The green pair is an april release.

Super hero pack was listed on there but I can't remember the date. I work again tomorrow so i'll take a few pictures. It's about 4-5 pages which runs through the end of summer. ALOT of releases

 

[s dubl]

pool party might have to take a break from this... too much bs.

bet the pool party pair (most likely the tie die colorway) drops before a Laker colorway.

 

[terx]

So are the easters a GR ?

You do realize that KD lives in OKC, home to a lot of Native American tribes.
Kobe can came out with pairs inspired by Indian casinos. That's the closest thing to Native Americans out here in LA. lol

i would say id cop the elites if retail was $140 but

i got 2 pairs of VIII's and i havent even worn them yet SMH and i already want to buy more.

 

[djyoung08]

every release Laker fans getting more salty for a Purple color

Nike is playing games!

 

[proverbs2416]

hoping the elites would retail at 150-160 range. it's a pass if it's at 200 and over.
