$140. Tried 11/11.5 on (purchased 11), lunar felt good (for my foot type). They run true. Hve yet to ball in them, will do so soon! Box is generic IMO. VI (box)>>* for the elite sock.

Where'd you cop? I need these early!!!!!

$140 retail price.

And the ID's being $5 dollars less instead of $10 dollar more.

Weird, I remember the NBA made a rule against them because a lot of players started wearing them. Kobe stopped wearing them after that. You can probably find an article on google. I think it was because of the dress code, not sure, but I know some type of rule came up.
BTW, I hope Sulfurs hit swoosh.

The rule they made was to prevent players from wearing sleeves as a fashion choice in addition to regular team uniform.  Players need a medical reason to wear them only.

I miss those too man Options were awesome with the Vs.

 

[sk33termcg33]

People still believe that the higher the cut of the shoe = more ankle support?

While you are correct, the feeling of something there with a hightop gives that mental peace of mind to some that their ankles are safer. I ball in both but can't wait to give these a try.

Anyone else noticed that the back of the kobe logo is 3M also?

3M swoosh and kobe logo on the heel cup

I knew it was those releasing and not the bootleg grinches that have been floating around China/Japan.

Noticed that myself as well. My how opinions about the VIII have changed in the last week or so!

 

[razorramon21]

I might have to pick the Xmas.

 

[mamba4ever]

Wonder how limited a release the Xmas cw will be?

 

[So Much Sole 23]

Still Have Yet To See Anything In This Thread To Convince Me Of Copping These

Those Coogi Sweater Xmas Joints Are Attrocious! :x

 

[azp]

Lol at dude saying all week that Kobe was gonna rock the sulfurs tonight...WRONG

 

[thapointguy]

Not after last week when someone said he was going to wear them against Denver i wasn't gonna believe it this time. He will wear them before or on the 20th depending on what day they play. Until then just sit back and wait.

 

[crazy ebw]

Funny how Durant been wearing the 5 since opening day but no sign on the 8. It's weird.

It's also weird that those kinds of things bother me.

 

[kushcommander]

kobe's first time he's going to rock the 8's is on the christmas game. he's been doing this for a while now.

 

[kitkaton]

For those going to Venice Beach tomorrow, looks like Nike Vault is giving these sleeves out to a few people.
