OFFICIAL NIKE KOBE 8 SYSTEM THREAD

Do the Kobe 8+ with the added Zoom heel perform better than the regular versions? Such as the Supernaturals
 
Found a pair for $310 shipped. Been searching awhile...

Depends on how bad you want it. I've seen better deals at the 275 mark. But if you're comfortable paying the 310, go for it. Helps to remember retail was 200 on these preludes, so after tax most came out to be like ~220. So dude is only clearing 90 bucks
 
Depends. The regular are lunarlon insoles and the ones with the zoom in the heel are cushlon insoles with zoom bags in the heel. Personally, I think lunarlon insoles are more comfortable than cushlon and provide a better heel to toe transition for playing ball.
 
There was a total of 3 setups for the 8 right? Lunarlon, cushlon with heel zoom, and phylon with forefoot and heel zoom. How durable is the cushlon insert?
 
^Correct, 3 setups unless you include the orthotic ready iD option which would make 4.

I have the cushlon insert, but was happy with lunar so I never gave it a full shot.  Maybe I will one of these days.  If anyone has played in the hyperchase or hyperlive it's a similar feel (not sure if those are cushlon too, if they are a PU insert or if it's all the same...)

All of the inserts will bottom out fairly quickly if used heavily (like 2-3 months)

However the cushlon inserts do take some time to break in unlike the lunarlon
 
Took an L on the FTB XI (first draw), so I hopped on eBay and copped these. They just arrived today.
