It has been said multiple times that there are only two pairs of the kobe elites releasing.

True. Those were prob p.e he would have wore had he not got injured.

Yeah probably. Those are definitely nice though.

cant help but notice on that supposedly id pic of the kobe... if you see on the reflection, there's a red-ish upper of the kobes (i think). should've taken a pic of that too.. kinda looks dope from the reflection lol

Backpack Jimmy don't play!!!

But for real, JJ probably only had 40 or 50 pairs total in their stock anyway...so they're not a true barometer on how hyped the shoe is or how well it will sell.

Now if DSG gets them in and THEY sell them out quickly too...uh-oh.

 

[Bert.]

are they supposed to be limited? i still want some fades though :x

 

[gheat77]

What time does DSG usually drop shoes?

 

[dark steel]

^^Seems like every Kobe colorway has been limited lately...except the Fades.

I don't remember reading that the VBs are a TLO release on NDC, so I'm assuming they're a limited GR.

Should be plenty to go around for those that want them.

To anyone whos purchased from dsg. How many conformation emails do they send you. So you know your shoes are on lock down

 

[gheat77]

So when does DSG drop?

 

[jaybreeezyy]

do kobes sell out quick? i dont have any kobes but i plan on copping the VBs

 

[gheat77]

do kobes sell out quick? i dont have any kobes but i plan on copping the VBs

Yes. Im just trying to figure out when they drop on DSG lol

 

[urn0tlike]

do kobes sell out quick? i dont have any kobes but i plan on copping the VBs

They do now.

 

[ducman]

I think DSG drops @ 2am pacific time. not really sure about this though. and NO DSG is not getting any business from me. Not that I'm getting the VB's, screw 'em 

Good luck to all those who wants them minus resellers 

 

[dark steel]

To anyone whos purchased from dsg. How many conformation emails do they send you. So you know your shoes are on lock down

You'll initially get 2 emails...an "Order Received" email followed an hour or so later by an "Order Confirmed" email.

But you still have a chance of your order getting canceled until you get the "Shipping Confirmation" email.

no the VBs are not limited they are one of the most generally released Kobes there is

 we all know that anything that has the word BEACH attached to it will be hyped

 relax there should be plenty for everybody come tomorrow

 every local spot around me is getting these (not FNL) and are on fcfs basis with the exception of HOH

 

[hartscreekbygod]

JUST ARRIVED ON MY DESK AT WORK. ON FEET PICS WHEN I GET HOME.

Forgive my ignorance, but what the f*** are these things?

I haven't been following the shoe business that much this year.

 

[mork23]

^^they're the Mambacurials an homage to Kobes love of soccer, basically a Nike Mercurials and Kobe 8 collaboration

 

[comacoma33]

Mambacurials man!

 

[jaybreeezyy]

anybody know if finishline gonna carry VBs?

 

[giirrrr]

anybody know if finishline gonna carry VBs?

Finishline does not carry Kobe's

 

[lebronisnomamba]

I think it's footlocker and footaction in store and online. not sure about the others...

 

[dark steel]

anybody know if finishline gonna carry VBs?

Nope. FNL has only carried the Supernaturals (in store/online) and the Easters (one store only) so far.

These will be on NDC, Eastbay, FTL, LiveStock.CA, possibly DSG and KB24...already sold out on Jimmy Jazz.

I probably missed a couple sites tho.

 

[geeplus]

i think DSG goes live closer to 3-4 PST... Dont worry though someone always drops the link on time in here.
