OFFICIAL NIKE KOBE 8 SYSTEM THREAD

[Magic33]

The more I see them, the more the all black pair looks like it can be added to the arsenal.

Officially on the hunt now,....y'all have fun on your egg hung this weekend.

I think the all black look better in certain pics, and plain in person.

 

[s dubl]

imo theyre comfortable aswell.  i wore my supernaturals on saturday all day and feet felt fine, walked in the mall for a few hours and werent hurting.

You were probably wearing elite socks tho, right?

Thanks for the reply.

Guys can we please just get back to discussion of the Kobe 8 and not socks, and can we please limit the hazing.


Even though the turtle pic cracked me the heck up

This cracks me the heck up

This cracks me the heck up

OK OK OK THIS ALSO LMAO

 

[dark steel]

Uh you must mean "Leonardo" elites. Donatello was purple not blue.

Not up too much on the Turtles...back in my day it was just a Black and White comic...

But either way, that Elite colorway gets a PASS from me.

LOL NBA socks 

 

[eyedea]

Exactly. I've been pretty lucky this year getting everything for retail or less. Most I've spent out of pocket this year was on some Js

... Only one pair tho. Still got em for retail. I have too many shoes, and hardly any time to wear em, to be buying overpriced gimmicky bs.


Question for those that have worn both versions of the Kobe 8 (lunar insole and sports pack insole), how do the sports pack insoles compare? I looked at the one from my asgs, and that little zoom bag in the heel and basically nothing in the front doesn't look like it will be too nice on the foot compared to the full lunar insole.

supernaturals are not nearly as comfy as all my other pairs... still good but that lunar insole is on another level.... most of the time when i wear my teals i switch the insoles with a lunar one... just too damb comfy. and the plus insert is much heavier than the lunar

 

[s dubl]

Yeah I can feel a slight weight difference just holding the shoe. Not that its a big deal... Lunar is damn comfy.

 

[TXZ]

I still dont get the green though .. why green?

Says here that the inspiration was the green pit viper. Kind of like how the Grinches were actually inspired by the green mamba.

I haven't worn the ASGs as much as some of my other VIIIs, but the sports pack insoles feel just fine to me, not a drastic difference or anything, still comfortable. I actually like the zoom bag in the heel, gives them a little spring. The lunar insole does feel more cushy though.

That color description says court purple/pure platinum/blackend blue and I dunno what LS means. One problem, the purple gradients don't have blue in them. So this color description leaves me a lil worried

yup agree the lunar soles feel like your stepping on some sort of play doh hahaha (very comfy)

Sorry to bring this up again but last bit of advice needed!

$200 for a pair of ASG Kobe 8s VNDS worn 1x accoring to dude.

Fair deal?

 

[thapointguy]

I know there was one or two NTers that has snakes. I would take a pic with your 8s with the snakes or go to the zoo lol. Guarantee that would be a winner.

If they come with the sports pack then yes. You can sell the sensors for at least $40.

Nothing in my life could even begin to interest or entertain a person of such magnitude lol

No account anyway
