OFFICIAL NIKE KOBE 8 SYSTEM THREAD

[springhettios]

A guy on Southern has the blue lights on. CLEAN!

Looks like Nike is going to push this green and blue thing across the board. This is one of the default color settings for the Free Run 3's on Nike ID..

The Xmas were in all Footlockers in LA too. We see how that went.

if you slept on them that's your fault but if you make an effort to get them that mourning you will get them! Don't expect to see them available days after release common now!

I'm not sure, I spoke with a Nike Rep on chat earlier today and they told me limited to 1 per customer and she even said the word limited for the shoe. But we all know how information with them isn't always reliable case in point the Red Camo YOTS.

Here's some pics of the takedown version of the Kobe series known as the "Dream Season" (if only that was the case this year). Anyways I know this is the Kobe 8 thread but these still kind of relate. If there were some decent colorways could be a nice casual shoe or trainer. Kind of remind me of my Roshe Run's with the mesh on the front and the sides looking like they wrap over it.

Yep, Nike is going hard. New Kobe gear to go with Elites. Not a fan yet. I really hope for several more cw's in the non-elite category.

My little bro JUST got hired at nike! wooooo hoooo for me.

Mr. Young, Very clean work on those PS. The pink on those supernaturals is muy caliente. 

And why do so many stores already have the easters? The foot locker in my area didnt get the red camos till the Thursday right before the Saturday release. Were the Camos more limited?

 

[jleeishere30]

Any good lace swaps for volts, supernaturals or Christmas so far?

 

[jdizzle925]

Had to un-DS in support of the Fighting Illini in the tournament. Hella loud esp. with an orange jersey.

Just the outsole




Outsole and Midsole




Meh....

what about just black midsole 0.o lol

me likey

 

[richmond14]

I was solely talking about material cost. If you add in other cost like labor, shipping, equipment, etc then yes it might be around $10 but i still doubt it's that high.


Back then Nike use leather. Nowadays the majority of the upper are hyperfuse, flywire etc. Plastic cost cheaper to make then leather

Lol you doubt it costs $10???? So you think nike make a $130 profit from a pair of kobe's??? Wow. Shoes cost much more, think about labor costs, factory overheads, marketing, materials, etc etc. In this day and age, shoes run much much more to make. And ****, a retailer =/= a reseller

no worries.

I didn't actually think i'd get that lucky

Any reason why the asg Kobe's are up on eastbay the sports pack? Size 10.5?

 

[ohmygosher]

yo pop your xmas laces in your blue glows.... will take pic later

Sounds like a dope idea

I threw Lime Green on mine

Nice. Gives them a huarache-esque look/feel. I'm not usually a fan of lace swaps, but I might bite this.

probably a return, and at this point it's probably already sold.

probably around the $10 area... possibly less... Nike states using synthetics cost more the natural materials like leather... it does make sence... there are higher taxes on shipping anything synthetic across the sea... also u dont have to go far to find some TPU... cow hide on the other had is a out sourcing problem... but that kobe def doesnt cost more the $10... the most expensive material on it is the rubber... and nike sells the shoes for about 48%-51% of retail on a account to company basis... #JustSaying

 

[hyunsoochoi3]

I threw lime green in mine too and then came the hate!

Personally think the lime green pops real nice

Look like sprites. I like them!

 

[sk33termcg33]

Sulfurs without the two tone yellow midsole outsole combo just don't look right IMO. Woulda been nice if they made the outsole a darker translucent yellow, and then we wouldn't have had to worry about them, well, yellowing lol.

I still say these look best.... someone posted these way pages ago. HARD!

Oh and they are real, no PS.

Someone just dyed the upper I believe on these. and seriously considering getting the sulfurs so I can do this to them
