OFFICIAL NIKE KOBE 8 SYSTEM THREAD

[mzeleni8]

thought so

so many fakes out there, wasnt even looking for them, like 5th or 6th option on google

Tigers will be my second pair of Kobe 8s, awesome lookin shoe

 

[vinomamba]

the VIII colorways sure have gone downhill since the Blitz Blue.  Challenge red,Milksnakes,Graffitis, Tony Tigers were all BARF. 4 out of 5 PP's were easy to pass on.  (so 1 out of 9 copped, ouch) after loving so many of the earlier colors and having to make sure i got them even if i had to go through a reseller. 

still waiting on more pics of the Pit Vipers but not sure im not sold on them either. hopefully something awesome comes out to end off the 8s.  otherwise im going to have to settle for making another ID and calling it done on 8s

Matter of opinion my friend. The first 1/2 of the 8's look totally different than anything lately. I don't like the camo look but this is why there are so many CW's, we don't have to buy every single one.

i know this may be a repost but so far from 2012-2013, the shoes that kobe wore on the court and were released are...
sulfurs
purple plat
bhm
elite
red camo
asg
and i guess the contest id

right?

The USA samples were posted in here a while ago maybe nike might release them that brown/greyish colorway looks like the pit viper print so maybe they are putting that print on id?

those snake ones would been nice they they kept it simple, put all that color black with this snake pattern and i wouldve copped

 

[lakers29]

I know this is not the ID threat but If I had to guess, I would agree Pit vipers will be on ID next.  Hopefully they take away graffiti instead of the xmas upper.

does anyone know where I can find a pair of sulfurs in size 9 that ships to canada for a reasonable price?

thanks for the info, but it would cost me ~$230 for a pair.

 

[Deleted member 115449]

^ is that site reliable?

 

[tank214]

Won some money in Reno over the weekend so I'll be getting the royal/yellows for free

I won 250 the night before the SH elites released. Didn't think twice about the$200 price tag haha

 [h2]Nike Kobe 8 System Barcelona Photoshoot[/h2]

IMO....

Nice Shots.

Easy pass Shoe.

Wrong Name.

^ last one isnt an opinion though.

 

[Kobekobe]

Smh at Barcelona's.. Stirring up hype for no reason

 

[audash]

What do you do when a seller uses a generic picture like this?

Is that usually a bad sign?

*edit I just noticed the watermark so maybe it's fine. Sorry

 

[kobe jnr]

I ordered the orange pp from eastbay on the first of september, abd its the 4th today and they still havent shipped them.. it never usually takes this long..

I would get a pair if they didn't have the weird print on the mid sole

Where are you looking? I can help you out to see if its legit.

Kixpress should be legit if that's who you're buying from. I've got a pair of Kobes from them before and seen others buy from them.

 

[audash]

It is kixpress, thanks. They have the only shoe listed, but it's .5 size too big. I'm trying to decide if I should wait and hope someone will list another, or walk around in clown shoes.

so after inspecting my Sparks, i realized why some pics the sole looks translucent and some pics it doesnt

they painted the bottom of the soles with some type of light blue paint,  so that only the sides are translucent.  anybody with Sparks in their possession, take a look and you will see what im talking about, its very easy to tell. and you can see a  little overspray around the edges

I just pulled out my pair to inspect. You're right. Anybody know if the clear sole IDs are like this too? 

Also the paint makes the sole less tacky. I'm assuming the paint will just wear off and traction will be restored. Anybody ball in these yet to confirm?

 

[ham182]

Damn just won a pair of asg's on the bay for 145 in very good condition besides a tiny scratch on the heel clip. Passed these up easily when they released but want a pair I wouldn't rock casually for ballin purposes only. Been ballin in my black elites and Sulphurs but them joints are too beautiful and would rather rock on the everyday tip. Not crazy over the asg's but pretty good deal seeing the normal crazy a** prices they go for on the bay

im pretty sure this paint thing is unique to the Sparks

here is one pic for now, ill post more tonight.  tried to get some detailed pics for you guys, hopefully the quality doesnt get ruined when i upload them here
