OFFICIAL NIKE KOBE 8 SYSTEM THREAD

[adub beta]

yeah the V was the really good Kobe iD, VI and VII iDs were not good enough for me personally

 

[anderson]

 @ iD's..

 

[greenbaozi]

I thought about snagging a pair of IDs, but I don't like the stained glass pattern on the shoe. They'll probably come out with the snakeskin pattern IDs in a few months...

 

[xplosivejeff]

Lebron X's...

haha true

 

[Lunden]

this will be made for sure

they can keep the rest

 

[jordan23dotcom]

^^ no hate but that shoe looks nothing like your inspiration IMO. More like garden snakes

 

[jayzrdead]

money saved on the Kobe 8 iDs

pretty much

 

[r23j]

You guys notice the back of the Kobe 8s on NikeID have the full Shozoko on the back as oppossed to the 2 stripes?

The back looks better with the full shozoku.

 

[crh1979]

Still doesn't help the fact the upper looks like a horrible Cosby sweater.

 

[mullins7388]

Agreed. Even Cosby himself is disappointed.

I know came out better on the actual ID then in the pic

im sure there will be more options this is just a PREVIEW

 

[dmoney82]

Man the last 3 Kobes are the same shoes. Pass.

 

[josh24]

GIVE ME A GOD DAMN SOLID UPPER NIKE!!!!

 

[sk33termcg33]

GRs ain't that bad. People won't be going crazy for half of these CWs so at least you can cop easy and not have to agonize for a month plus waiting for your iDs hoping to like em. Honestly I'm just trying to be positive here with how awful the options are and how much anticipation there was for them haha.

 

[andrew630]

I want to see some team colorways.

 

[seabreezy]

Hopefully more options are available on the 20th. Looking to iD a colorway similar to this.

 

[mister friendly]

I dont get the ID option for Orthotics?

 

[stevesofresh]

Still on the hunt for these

 

[gaylor971]

guys, just be patient, they always add some more options with time, each year they do the the same thing, and each year we act like we're surprised. come on don't worry!

 

[cachooka man]

really loving these

 

[CHAOSE57]

According to Jefferrrson (youtube reviewer): Lockdown is great but the lunarlon is super mushy. Said he prefers zoom air.

Can't wait to try it out myself though

I want to give Nike the benefit of doubt but we have been waiting for some time not just id but the shoe in general. The life of the VII didn't carry itself through December (I stopped caring after the World Basketball Festival). They should have promoted the 8 earlier to gain our confidence back in them. However, me being a patient guy most of the time will give them time to sort things out.

I actually don't like the shozoku logo that's formed on the heel. Makes them look like a team shoe or a take down would have. Rather have the stripes. Someone on the other forum said it looks like an Asian beaver

Was there even new options added to the VII iD? Didn't pay attention after I made my one iD when they put them out.

fade, PDF, two-tone uppers.

 

[thapointguy]

Two tone and PDF were pointless IMO since they were on GRs and not a lot of ppl were using them. I don't expect color blocking to change, really a damn shame, looks like solid uppers and the patterns we've seen might be added. Color palette is very promising so when we see new upper options they'll be much better.

Is the green on the sole the same as on iD?
