OFFICIAL NIKE KOBE 8 SYSTEM THREAD

[gil23]

congrats better in person?

definitely better in person. there is details like the rough finish on the midsole which I guess represents the rough terrain of the planet. The laces don't really match the swosh tho its a lighter green.

The whole shie is like a mixture of few shades of green,a few shades of orange and yellow.

Full shozuku is nice plus the sole is like that type of clear sole like the Christmas.

Same here. That red will make everyone notice your shoes. Could be seen as good or bad.

The Kobe 8 is a problem. Every damn release has sold well.

I guess this is good news for the IX's.

 

[b-son504]

i got stuck with the sports pack one.  think i can sell the sport pack thing?  does it work on just kobe 8 shoes that are +enabled?

 

[rashad8869]

red cameos very clean, hope they are not too limited

I hope they aren't either, I got a feeling they won't be though.

Everyone in the NBA is wearing the Red Camos it seems like. I hope this is an indication it's a GR. 

Or that NBA players can pay whatever price to get them.

I still don't get why Kobe only has 2 GR colorways out at the midpoint of the NBA season when Lebron has like 6. Wouldn't it be easy sales to have a GR all black pair sitting on shelves? Most consumers can only choose between Pythons or Sulfurs, which are both somewhat loud.

At the same time, it's dope how every Kobe release has a totally different pattern. It's more than just a change in colors.

Probably because the VIIs did not sell well at all last year hence less pairs this year. Same thing happened to the KDIVs last year. 

Pretty sure Nike wasn't expecting the 8s to be so well received, I remember when images first dropped for these and no one was really feeling them.

After the BHM debacle and now the ASG, I am just going to give up on the "exclusive" versions and be happy with the general releases. Def not worth the reseller price to me. Just going to hope the red camo (my favorite K8 so far) is a GR and not limited. Living in a small town as a sneakerhead is the worst.

Galaxy Kobe VII > any other Kobe VII.

Imo the best colorway for the vii was the cloaks.  But id put the galaxy vii 2nd

Interesting. I wasn't feeling them based off that blurry black colorway picture. I haven't owned a pair of Kobe's before but I can say that Nike killed it with the 8s, performance and design wise. Despite sales, Kobe's are the most exciting bball shoe for me. I'm excited to see what direction they go in for the 9.

IMO best kobe 7 was the black/greys. WTFs were by far the worst. So ugly.

Hopefully a mid kobe 9..

c'mon lol. They've been lows for 4 years now... They'll be lows again for sure.

 

[daddyrabbit251]
