these 8's are really growing on me...loved the 5's and 6's but entirely skipped the 7's.

8s are more palatable with recent pictures. I like the python or orangeish/red camolike CW- My hope is that these fit and feel more like the 4s, and less like the 7s. The EMesh would appear to be a move in that direction potentially.

Interested in reading reviews from those who have worn them both casually and for ball.

 

[msw1233]

I'm about to sell off my 7's and get ready for these. Can't even wear the VII's, so uncomfortable.

Kobe 8 Midnight Fog/Strata Grey/Volt????? 12.20 release... what pair is this?

 

[mork23]

hopefully the 8s are better for ballin than the 7s ( 7s hurt my feet after playing in them for awhile

)

 

[carrera909]

on feet pic.. nice.

in all these specs and videos, they talk about modular system, but they only talk about lunarlon!!! tell us more about the other system, zoom with or without sock? ... so little infos! 

 

[supremekickz]

Anybody know what time ID is gonna launch tomorrow? Midnight? Mid-day?

Exactly what I want to know! Lunarlon is great but doesn't last nearly as long as zoom air.

I gave up on waiting on Info. We waited so long for pics maybe we need to wait for more info lol... Im guessing other insoles are only iD option smh, hope I'm wrong.

^ can you explain what happened in the X I have yet to hoop in my and I've been hooping in some Kobe's prior so I'm curious to your experience.

Mostly just a foul on a fast break and landed funny. Always been skeptical about Max Air units for ball from previous experiences. Been messing with the full length zoom hoping for better results. Not so much

 

[sk33termcg33]

Ah damn hope your ankle is straight bruh

For those asking I thought someone mentioned a few pages back that the choice between Lunarlon and Zoom was given on iD so can we assume that's what the 2 inserts will be? Makes sense but would love to have some confirmation...

Reminds me of the Rice VI's:

^ those are beyond beautiful

 

[mullins7388]

Both KD V and LeBron X launched at Midnight EST. I would assume the Kobe's are the same.

Can't wait to try it out tonight

Really feeling these reminds me of the cheetahs/ choas

Those green ones are nice but I wouldn't spend Id money on them.

 

[xsalvioutlawx]

They're incredible I don't know what else to say.

That swoosh color :x

Is that an ID creation? If so, that's a good look.

--Edit--
Just checked, looking good for the ID options. I really like the Lakers pair.

 

[xplosivejeff]

Guess it's confirmed that the "stained glass/Ugly sweaters" are the XMAS. I'm ready and excited for the full-length lunarlon(Sorry zoom fans)

 

[thapointguy]

I kinda like the green one. It's good the fuse part is clear you can see the pattern as well. You can make a Green Lantern cw from it.
