OFFICIAL NIKE KOBE 8 SYSTEM THREAD

[sneakerfan1]

 

okay now that they're live who's gonna buy them?

waits for eastbay + exclusion to be removed + additional colors.

Nice to finally see a basic black/white pair.  Will likely toss em in the black beater stash eventually.

Green PVs are decent, but that pattern is just tough to work with.  Definitely the low point for the Kobe 8 silo design-wise.

wish there would be a orange based colorway besides those ugly pizza ASG ones

not sure why my post was deleted

The PP's midsole is an eyesore, but VB, WTK, ASG upper are not???

LOL... Never said they weren't bro. To me, WTK's are like the Disgusting Looking Porn Star Cousin that the Rest of the Kobe 8 Family doesn't want to be associated with. 

VB's are cool. Copped, but sold b/c I wasn't going to wear forreal.  And the ASG's are Cold, IMO... I still want a pair, bad! Those two are loud & proud, but sophisticated & balanced in their execution. 

PP's are like that Solid looking chick who decided to get a Tattoo on her face to try to be different. 

That's just me though. Lol

Not feeling the Black and White TB's. They're decent enough, but I don't have enough money for shoes I think are just decent. Hope they release more TB's and that one does catch my eye though. Otherwise it'll just be the Mine Grey's, and ID or 3, and that'll be it for the 8's. 

EDIT: 

 VB's and PP's are the ugliest Kobe 8s by far, followed by the right shoe of the WTK's. Only one of the PP's that's decent are the grey and black joints.

do they have purple gradients in a 12?

PP's were definitely the Red-Headed Step Children of the Kobe 8 Lineage.  

 

i give that to the Taipans

QUESTION: 

I know the Kobe 8's have sold like no other Kobe before, so maybe this is a tough question, but, Do You Think these TB Kobe 8's have a Chance to eventually go on Sale (maybe around $99 or lower)...?

And others who have had previous Kobe's... how have TB's usually sold in the past?

Just wondering if I should wait & hold out on these for now OR copp sooner than later...

 

[youngwl31]

Did anyone see that they have a pair of kobe 6's on FTL, size 10. I thought that was funny

they should be around for a bit. on sale? not sure. discountable on footlocker? probably.

i can't remember what was good with the VI but the V was discounted pretty nice on nike.com back in the day.

 

[Champagne_Taste]

Want those tbs but I'm waiting on eastbay as well. I hope some more colorways that we have been waiting for to pop out of nowhere.

 

[midd44]

just for kicks I put 100 pairs of the Kobe 6's in my cart and did not get any error or limitation message. too bad that's the only size they have

Thanks for answering bro. I think I might chill on em for now... maybe see how the Solid ID's come out from the ppl who already ordered first.

^ Repped.  As usual.

 

[midd44]

Champs has the same thing, Kobe 6 but only in size 10. does anyone seen this before or know how something like  happens?

same company... champs, footlocker, footaction, eastbay tho the shoes aren't on eastbay for some reason.

this isn't new tho. random shoes pop up from time to time.

 

[bigj505]

EightFiveFresh - no problem

you have 3 things working for you
1. they aren't hyped so the beast aint gonna eat them up. just people that want them
2. they aren't limited so they won't sell out when 4 people buy them
3. most people that know whats good will wait to get them for below retail. same story usually. different year.

you can kind of view how the PP went as a slight indication of how these should be.

never went on sale but eventually sold out when exclusions were lifted.

I think the ugliest kobe 8 by far is the mine grey's

 

[lewi1913]

You guys really aren't digging these? I think they are clean...

NO matter how good the shot is or how cheap it is, graffiti still the worst colorway.

I like mine grey. I guess they are too "eyesore" for some people

Just kidding  @EightFiveFresh......everyone has their own personal preference
