OFFICIAL NIKE KOBE 8 SYSTEM THREAD

Do you think that footlocker is just creating hype then to try to get us to buy them cease they told me there am instant sell out
 
Anyone know of a spot to pre-order the Milk Snakes for a reasonable price? My local spot only got two pairs in my size which I know will be gone by the time I have a chance to cop.
 
Well FTL just sent me $65 in rewards and I will check them out Saturday and make a decision then.

Milk snake comparable to red snakes, VB on its own level. The bright assorted colors are more sought after. Just be there Saturday and grab your pair and you're good.

The official name of the Kobe 8 System releasing on Saturday July 27, 2013 is called the "Red Tail Boa." Description from Nike Vault: The Red Tail Boa Constrictor is known for flourishing in different environments. Like the snake, the Kobe 8 System "Red Tail Boa" can make strides on and off the court.

:pimp:
 
I'm sticking with Milk Snakes, they resemble them more. Would've been interesting to see Nike try to capture what the Red Tail Boa really looks like. From most pics I've seen the snakes skin fades to the pattern similar to the Milk Snake at the tail.

Aww man was hoping for all the colorways to be weak but it doesnt look like it happening. Looks like ima pick up a 5th pair I try and get different styles and a white upper is what im missing. I might id it though I want to see what the homes look like with a purple outsole
 
So, I was playing ball at CSUN last weekend.  I was running a 2 on 2 with my homies and one of em' caught the ball baseline, he beat me off the dribble and headed towards the basket.  As I tried to recover and block his shot from behind, I went up for the block and stepped on his heel.  My foot just folded in like it was made of paper...I even heard a crack.  I had never experienced the pain that comes associated with a sprained ankle before, so I kind of just laid on the floor unable to walk.  As this is going on, my other homie starts recording me saying "the kobe 8's have ended another career!!"  he immediately posted it to instagram. 

I've been fortunate enough to avoid any major injuries including any type of sprain, so it sucks that this one happened while I was rocking my pythons.  My homie who was recording is a huge LeBron fan so he was talking mad ish.  Now don't get it twisted (pun intended,) i'm not blaming it on the shoe since I have read some of the posts on here about how it has nothing to do with low tops or high tops and done my own research, but it kinda has me worried about balling in 8's again.  Might just keep my 8's strictly for casual wear and stick to my penny 5's to ball in. 

Worst part is that all of my homies are talking mad ish, talking about how I got my ankles broken

Ps. does anybody out there who plays the 5 spot wear kobe's or do you guys wear mids or high tops?
