THE OFFICIAL NIKE KOBE FOOTWEAR THREAD: RIP LEGEND 1978-2020. MAMBA FOREVER | 3 Releases 4/13

[Bert.]

Wait so they're calling it the 14?

think it just meant his 14th signature shoe

 

[johnnyp2k12]

we got prototype pics a few years ago with these type of laces with a disc at the top of the shoe

 

[senorroboto2k5]

Quote just means non-traditional lacing, not necessarily electronic self lacing

What do you guys think?
AD low = 12
AD Exodus = 13

 

[Blue Mamba]

What do you guys think?
AD low = 12
AD Exodus = 13

Regular AD = 12
Exodus = 13

 

[gwizzle]

Forgot about the A.D. mids , NXT, and 360s

 

[grittyman]

Regular AD = 12
Exodus = 13

Regular as in mids? I guess he’s had low top/high tops of the same shoe, could be all in the same

These

All others Mids, NXT, 360, were just different versions

Regular AD = 12

It’s so confusing. I consider the 360 to be the 13 and the Exodus to be a side model but who knows. They need to stop with the BS, cheesy naming scheme.

I’m agreeing with you. My original post said AD “lows” (the model you posted) are the 12’s. Maybe the NXT’s are similar to how the 11’s has an “Elite” as well as an “EM” version. But yeah, too damn confusing lol

Shot around and got a few games of 21 in today. I have a full length ID XI drop-in for these
Definitely my favorite 8s

These are one of the best colorways of the 8s.

Blue Blitz fire.


Seriously...there were about 2-3 bad CWs on the 8. And even then, it's not even a consensus. Off top, I disliked the reds with orange outsole and the aqua-python with yellow outsole.

 

[leroy712]

Strange question....What size laces are on the Exodus in a size 12 and up? If anyone knows let me know. I want to get some specific laces for my iD’s but they only come in 48”s and 60”s oddly.

 

[nstanton]

Kobe 6 is already my GOAT, but wanted to update with the “new and improved” tech of react and flyknit

I agree about the green glows with the yellow outsole. I'd replace the challenge reds with the year of the horse.

But yeah the 8's had so many amazing colorways. Best Kobe of all time IMO. Probably won't get something like that ever again

 

[Kobekobe]

Not sure if I’m feeling the exodus.

Balled in them twice now. I think I prefer a real tongue on the shoes not this trend at the moment.

They’re supposed to be ball shoes not runners.

I’ll give it a few more wears before writing them off.

#bringbackthetongues

 

[urn0tlike]

It’s such a relief when a newer new model has a regular tongue.

 

[kobefan]

When is this new kobe "14" dropping? All you ppl with info spill it the people want to know

Unfortunately don't think a release date is stated.

No clue, but I’m assuming the price will be in the same ballpark as the other Adapt shoes.

Hideous

 

[tigo0240]

I repped for the effort, but the Kobe 6 (best kobe model ever, IMO) upper is one of the best parts of the shoe.
