OFFICIAL NIKE KOBE 8 SYSTEM THREAD

[comacoma33]

Loving the team based color ways!!!

 

[rigel19]

From instagram Maybe that orange/red was a Philippine exclusive here is one with just the red

I really hope these are the ones released on the 27th, all red no orange.

 

[mastralf]

still debating on getting the kobe 7 Olympics a half size too big something about those olympics

 

[bobj885]

it's been translated as "Thank You Based God"

Lol. But seriously, what does it mean? As far as I can tell on my Kobe 8s, there's only 2 words. One is 5 letters long and the second word is 10 letters long.

Anyone put insoles, inserts or orthods in their 8s? My ASG had bottomed out as far as cushioning leaving no cushion and a flat feeling not to mention you can feel the sensors. Got these spence gel total support insoles for only $20 so I figured I'd give them a try. They change the feel and weight of the shoes (14.2 oz to 18.9 oz) with a higher arch but they feel cushiony again. Wore them around the apartment but plan on shooting around tomorrow or play in them Monday. Anyone else change the insoles?

This is why the zoom on the elites is better

Those dots are on earlier models as far back as the 5s. (Maybe even earlier, but I only have 5-8 within arm's reach) I always thought it was braille too, but I looked up the alphabet and most characters are 2 columns of dots, not 3. Now I'm curious.

Edit - Came across this http://counterkicks.com/2009/12/nike-spring-2010-catalog-kobe-code/

 

[s dubl]

Kobe code started with the V.

 

[ddash]

Red swoosh is money.  Not feeling the laces though.

The swoosh is orange and not red.

What happened to a white based cw

 

[comacoma33]

Have Blue Blitz sold out across the nation!

 

[swooshkb24]

Low, mid, or high...doesn't matter to me as long as comfort and style is carried over to the 9s.

AND performance!!

 

[swooshkb24]

Does anyone know what the braille-like dots on the heel of the shoe say?

"Chase Perfection" / Nike told me by DM on twitter awhile ago. You're welcome.

I think the code changed, because you can see lines and dots on the code for the Kobe V, while the code on the 8 is just dots.

Alright, that makes sense. Thanks man.

[tjay]

[earldagoat]

^^

Pythons looking good, but my eyes are immediately drawn to your avatar and those Kobe 6 Aces

 

[brockdarock29]

$250 on Area 72's DS a good price?

 

[asyong21]

VB or Blue Coral ?

 

[mcgregor triangle]

VB

 

[Champagne_Taste]

Got a better look of the blitz blue and red snakes and they looked real good but like the vbs the sole on the blitz ruin it for me and I'm trying for the toro 4s if I strike out then I'll get the red snakes or lebron Ohio state lows.
Red snakes soles are orange but fits in well with the upper.

 

[dat6]

Still no knews on upcoming releases

 

[iks mod]

VB or Blue Coral ?

It's all personal preference and depends on what YOU like best.  

But for me, blue coral all the way.  It's still one of my personal faves with all that has released
