OFFICIAL NIKE KOBE 8 SYSTEM THREAD

[youngwl31]

So kixpress sells fakes? I thought they were legit?

 

[delete1234]

I don't mean to cross threads but I know some don't get over to the ID's section.

I tried searching but nothing came up in regards to what I'm trying to figure out so:

What protectant have you guys found to work the best with the 8s mesh? Such as the stuff sold at Finishline?

I hoop in mine so scuffs are inevitable, I am just trying to do as much as I can.

there is this thing called never wet... at home depot

kixpress has the translucent soles. not the xdr

I remember when that came into the threads but I didnt know if anyone ever ended up spraying it on their 8s? 

Not sure if I have the balls to take that stuff to my IDs...

very strange, could be they dont know what they are talking about

or the pics on their website are not of the shoe that they are selling.

Did u get a chance 2 look at the shoes on their website?

 

[delete1234]

Yeah I did man. From the website they look legit

 

[youngwl31]

ok maybe they just got confused on what I was asking

 

[delete1234]

Yeah I think that's the case

Thought I post some kobe 8 socks! My small collection + the pit viper ones on its way (the posted pics make it seem like it may work on the mambacurials, let's hope it does!)

Which two would you rock with WTKobe?

 

[rayscheng]

just got the taipans for 111 shipped
are there any other grs sitting around for cheap/below retail?
id really only be using them for hoopin, so i dont care too much about the colorway
for the record, though, i think the taipans are pretty dope

 

[youngwl31]

U can get the graffitis and some of the pp's for under retail at house of hoops or FTL

Sure. They should be eligible for VIP, birthday, military and employee discount. It all depends on the manager; however, they haven't had their price cut yet. I think I've seen the black elite and supernaturals with reduced price.

 

[henryp562]

Pretty sure this has been asked before but any suggestions on how to clean the mesh on the poison green kobe 8 elites?

maybe canvas cleaner?

 

[Deleted member 115449]

maybe canvas cleaner?

i tried toothpaste + toothbrush + warm water. minimal toothpaste (enough to generate foam), brush gently, then brush again with warm water to remove the toothpaste and mintiness. it works pretty well though ive only tried it with the regular kobe 8s. dunno about the double layered em
