oh how i miss those laundry room/red wall pics MJRod's foot out his car pics too. At least I know to stalk their flickr pages No slurp i just appreciate dope pics

Kobe should've broke out a VIII so they can be dubbed "Flu Game"

We've seen the Xmas VIIIs. They're the scale ones that people are saying are year of the snake.

Yea, that's what I mean. I hope I look back and laugh at myself for overreacting over that terrible Footlocker pic with the fake *** Grinch 2.0s on there as I enjoy my "Scales." I really love those crazy colorways. I just really want to see something official from Nike before I get too hyped or too tight again.

 

[grogu]

anyone think the 8s will be available with attack strong?

The VIIIs are supposed to be another "system" shoe, so there should be two cushioning options, probably Lunarlon and Zoom.

Yep, I think the first set of pics that came out had a lunarlon insole. 

It won't be a bootie shoe this time though thank god. 

 

[kobeoverbron]

I hope it's FULL LENGTH ZOOM. damn. that would be nice.

 

[kobeoverbron]

my bad.

 

[JRaW’d]

I seriously don't understand why some of y'all slurp Edwin as much as y'all do.

been feeling like this for the longest. just glad i didnt have to be the one to say it first. lol

i appreciate a good pic as much as the next man but was tired of seein the circle jerk that ensued soon after...

 

[seabreezy]

These have to stop.

 

[kb24strikesagain]

That would be nice. And doubt these will hurt like those elites, man those were awful for comfort.

 

[crh1979]

These have to stop.

Amen. I mean seriously. Stop it.

 

[mouerf]

Im glad they didnt put that sleeve like we saw on the samples

So now Sneak Geekz/Sneaker Therapy are perpetuating this rumor about the wack *** Grinch VIIIs. He sent an e-mail out with the link to it as if it's definitive. SMH:

I really wish Nike would announce them officially already. It's less than a month away and it's especially annoying me since I'm going to feel one of the extremes. There's no in between for me on these lol. If it's the lazy Grinches rehash then I'm gonna be furious. If it's the "Scales" then I'm gonna lose my mind with happiness.

 

[supremekickz]

man. ^^^

 

[bluntobject50]

These have to stop.

Amen. I mean seriously. Stop it.

for real...

^^^^ I've heard some say that an elite VIII might more resemble that sample, with swoosh placement and ankle collar.

The ankle collar on the VII worked for me in the lockdown department, so I'm hoping the VIII has an updated one to go with the updated inserts.
