Shipping is like $30 or so.
Anyone ever buy kicks from the Taiwanese eBay sellers? Any issues? Found some GC sulfurs and I'm VERY tempted to pull the trigger.

the fact that these 8s dont last long makes me sad but at the same time I dont care because if there are any colors that drop in outlets or go on sale.. ill buy them to play ball so i wont feel as bad
why wouldnt they last long? ive been beating my 8s for months and they look even better when they're used and still no creases. my pythons look better worn out than when it was all brand new. it adds character.

I pulled the trigger off kixpress. I was hesitant at first because of the posts on their FB page but I didn't have a problem with them. I believe it took a total of 5 days to get the item to me.

anyone out there with a local FTL that hasnt even released the purple plats yet?
my local FTL here in hawaii hasnt had the purps yet..and wont be releasing them till next week tuesday.
on the malls website that they are located at says they are "one of the largest footlockers in the world"
but i have yet to see them release a shoe on the actual release date. the only and i mean the ONLY kobe 8 that released on the real RD was the easters...kinda lame if you ask me

I don't buy shoes to store as trophies and look at them, I wear them every day for any occasion. To ball in, go to the clubs, go to work, etc. Why wait 8 months to save $20 for an outlet buy?

8's last long if you use them indoor, like they are meant for, or if you have the GC versions. I've been hooping in a pair since December and they are fine, people can barely tell they are so used unless you closely look at them.
That picture of the outdoor use and the soles, sucks that happened but honestly what did you expect? The shoe is so lightweight and minimalistic, there is no way anyone could think these would hold up even in the immediate short-term outdoors...

Any update for next weeks release? I haven't seen any pictures come up. My FTL connect said that they should receive their shipment for next weeks Kobe's and JB Restocks this Friday. Hopefully we can finally find out which one it is.

I thought you had a Miami Dolphins inspired ID, but then I realized it's the supernaturals and red camos.

Yeah, they were released months earlier in China and at a lower price than the normal 8. Right around the US release date is when they were discounted. I had my eye on the black leather for a good long while.China has red suede YOTs.... and theyre on sale!!!!! WTF?

Looks like I'm back on the bandwagon! My last Kobes were the Vs (which I still love btw), pulled the trigger this morning on the Gradients, strictly indoor balling shoes.
Guess I have some weird-*** feet, usually 10.5 fit perfect (as per the Vs) but the 8s felt extra roomier, especially in the toe box. Sz 10 was a bit snug width-wise so I stuck with tts.
