OFFICIAL NIKE KOBE 8 SYSTEM THREAD

[iks mod]

I find myself liking something about every colorway...

Damn you Nike

The NikeiD heel zoom is not really zoom, it's just a thin insert to put in the base of the shoe to put your orthotic on top of. Most orthos are bulky so if you were to try to put them over the lunar it'd be too tight of a fit. So, basically, don't buy the Nike iD one thinking it's just a zoom insole you can swap out.

I hope people aren't doing that, they'd be extremely disappointed once they come in

Nah not so, I looked into it. There are 3 different options on Nike iD

1) lunarlon
2) plus ready sole which is zoom in rear and not sure if lunar or phylon forefoot
3) the orthotic one you speak of with thin zoom

Option 2 is what I meant. Check it out.

Here's a quick pic of my easters I got in this morning.

Again - the sole is not white, its eggshell blue, which doesnt translate in pictures very well.

Was referring to the kobe elite socks

Oooh right .. my bad ... these socks are too much though IMO

 

[thapointguy]

where you get them from?

 

[Black Lotus]

let's not look far into which one we'll get. it's the one we saw all along. New ones are samples.

if we've seen pics of them all along why would Nike release a pic of samples 2 weeks before RD? and are those lebrons and KDs samples aswell? 0.o

Cause hype, confusion, chaos, ppl tweeting to Nikestore asking which one? They not gonna post the same one that's been shown by SoleAwesome. Just sàying Kobes are samples. Lebrons and KD look the same. Just wait for Nikestore to tweet the day before the one we have been seeing.

time will tell. but those images of the person who got theirs today helps. Who knows thoughWe all remember days before this past weekends release, nike produced those enhanced photos making the volts look green

 

[chronicsneaker]

I hope the retail version is the cracked eggshell look as opposed to the snakeskin pre-release.  Or maybe the snakeskin pre-release is just the GC version since it has a full purple shozoku and in the US version you can see it's the two straight lines and it's silver.

 

[ajk350z]

Can march 23rd come any sooner?

 

[wrxtreme]

Can march 23rd come any sooner?
