Nope, I dream of the gradients releasing. Has anyone done the obvious thing and tweeted kobe himself a pic of the purple gradients and asking him about the release. Tell him they are in high demand from his fans. If enough of us NT'ers tweet him about the gradients he has to answer. So everyone FLOOD his twitter about the purple gradients

Damn....good research. Was hoping for multiple releases on the 29th but your evidence is convincing. That's gotta be the worst color description ever.
The Kobes have 10x more detail than the Lebrons and KDs. Either their designers are lazy as F or the Kobe's EM and everything else is just easier to make dope designs with.
Dude, you don't need to dream. It's not a matter of if, but a matter of when the fades will release.
The grey upper/purple sole, on the other hand, isn't a guaranteed release. The ones Kobe was wearing didn't even have the snake around the tongue logo.

Purple Gradients to me, are potentially the greatest colorway of this shoe. What worries me is right now I do not see any concrete info that they will be released. Is there anyone that can confirm a release date?

+2. I think the fiberglass is the grey. It may have a light bluish tint to it but I don't think it's that teal color.
Plus, the Lebron's and KD's have colors in their descriptions that are teal-like or green

The 3/29 pair was originally 3/23 but it got moved back to 29th
There's no CONCRETE info confirming that the Gradients will release.
But the 3/29 has been speculated to be the Gradients or Inlines (Grey upper/purple sole). And I guess now they can be the Easters.
There was another pair that's coming out like 4/26 that was also speculated to be the Gradients or Inlines.

What's up man!! Long time...
These are hot but I wanted the Volts so badly before they were gone. From what I saw, the Reds were available in most sizes as of this past Saturday at Champs and FTL's. Volts didn't drop at Champs locations from my understanding, only FTL's.

I think this is probably closest to the truth. The Brons and KDs have both had some pretty great releases this year (or at least the Bron's have had ridiculous ID options), but the VIIIs have just been inspired. Honestly every release has been on point. And even though I don't like the puke pattern that they've used for the blue lights and supernaturals (or whatever the green base is), damn it if they don't work somehow. Luckily for my wallet the ID options have been absolute crap.
Edit
Camos and Xmas from this weekend shipped. It's gonna be a good week.

Oh god....I have to wait another month for one of the purple colorways....I've been waiting since Dec/January lol. Good thing I picked up the Pythons to ball in until then.
I have no doubt that the Gradients will release but I'm beginning to think the Inlines will never be released to the public which sucks because it's my favorite pair.

Hey guys I HATE to pull this
But how did the Kobe 8 EXT releases go this weekend?
Are they still sitting in any stores or online on any foreign sites?
My internet was pretty much down all weekend and its impossible to keep up if you miss a few days especially a release weekend

Yup if fiberglass was teal then that would mean the xmas pair would be teal since fiberglass is in its description, and we all know they aren't teal.

I'm hoping so man. Gradients are definitely on my must have list.
Some pages ago in the thread there was a little debate on whether or not the 3/29 pair was the Gradients or Inlines because Fiberglass is a grey color and usually the first color on a color description indicates the color of the upper, and since the 3/29 pair is Fiberglass/Court Purple/Laser Purple, that would fit Inlines..
There was a pair coming out around 4/26 that also lists two different purples in the color description so some people were saying that those were Gradients the the March pair is Inlines.

After a month+ of speculation, it's so anticlimactic to have the Easters be the fiberglass pair....
