OFFICIAL NIKE KOBE 8 SYSTEM THREAD

Lol... I was on vacation, sick, and then my membership expired (recovering from Vegas before I pay the annual fee). Might just bite the bullet and go this weekend, you?

Have you gotten more run in your 8s?

excuse, excuse, cheapskate....
It's been a bit over crowded on Saturday morns...but the runs are good (except for the occasional douche who tells you he has 5 on his squad and then picks up 4 from the losing team)...
I've been going on Sundays too around noonish and the crowd is good then...more my age. :D

Don't have to deal with young bucks running up and down....

I have been getting plenty of runs in my 8s....some from my Wednesday league and then the weekend warrior thing..

For some reason, the green camos feel the worst of the 3 I got (xmas, red camo, green camo)...
maybe I haven't worn them enough...
the xmas' broke in on first try (despite the slight cramps and soreness after a long run)...
the red camo's feel good too, but I've only got 2 runs in them....

I have found (and corroborated with the homie Steve) that when you lace up too tight on the 8s....the shoes starts to hurt really really bad...like cutting off circulation / bounding your feet ala Japan women in the ole' days...
this is not to say that leaving the laces a little looser makes them slip or not fit right...because the slippage is zero to minimal with the laces loosened up...

but I tweaked the ankle a week and a half ago and started to lace up a little tighter and that was not a good idea...

only 3 pairs of 8's thus far (looking for those fades next and possibly the blue pair if it goes on sale)....which is 3 more than the kobe 7's.....

Wish I had the option to buy the purple fades minus the speckle on the midsole lol. Didn't like it on my Christmas or Easters but not a deal breaker


Nike is so quick to put it on shoes lately :rolleyes

Its gonna get played out sooner than later if not already with some folks

I can do w/o it on some of the kix, but here and there never hurt nobody

But jeez, on every shoe lately, cmon cuzo

Spekels and flywire can go away for all i care. :lol:
 
Thank god they didn't put specks on the sulfurs or blue lights as well. Sometimes simpler is better (not counting the uppers haha).

Flywire used to be a gimmick to me when it was in like the Hyperdunk 2010s and shoes similar to usage of it but dynamic fly wire to me does provide a little bit more lockdown maybe it's just me but I like it. Speckles, eh haha.

Yeah, the first time I played ball in mine I had them laced way too tight also. Second time I loosened them up a bit and it was a little better. I still need to get a couple more runs in before rendering final judgment. You going to play this weekend?
