THE OFFICIAL NIKE KOBE FOOTWEAR THREAD: RIP LEGEND 1978-2020. MAMBA FOREVER | 8-24-24

[spiderjericho]

Are those?

 

[Kobekobe]

Man if only those kobe 8's had Yellow Shozoku, Purple midsoles and light Purple on the soles, and Yellow Eylets....AKA AMNESTY'S!!!!!!! kinda...ish LOL

Kinda sad tbh. It wouldn’t have taken any more effort to change the dyes on a few parts of the shoe..

I actually was looking deeply to see if they were a Halo custom. These for yall Lakers fans lol.... cuz I'm not going for them

 

[Magic Penny]

I am still a bit mad that in 2013 after the Amnesty game I did not pull the trigger on the ID which came as close as possible to the acutal pair. I had everything done on Nike ID and even was in contact with a customizer, what a missed opportunity. If Reshoevn8r would have been around in 2013 I would have probably gone ahead, so far I only had good experiences with them. I also did an as close as possible ID on the grey/ purple home Kobe 8 pair, but same case as with the Amnestys. Anyways I might actually still give it a try once the Lakers away pair is released.

I’ve come to the conclusion that this was the last great Nike Kobe release

Do they run snug like most 5’s? I’m still in for a pair but don’t know whether to aim for my tts Kobe size or J1 size

Protro 1s are tts for me compared to a 5, where it's either tts or 1/2 size up

Photos look real good. Man, 2024 gonna be an expensive year for me, especially if I can't hit for retail.

 

[206to813]

New 8s look good

if they squeak like OGs, I’m out

 

[wukong7]

Hopefully they are released on different dates and not all in one like the upcoming 4,6 and 8s on 4/13.

I would love for a pair of 6s...take me back to senior year of college. Man that shoe is so much more than just Grinch colorways.

[ArentyouaQB]

How do the protro 8s fit? Are they snug like the 5s and 6s?

Snug from what I remember

 

[Beeb2407]

More snug than the OGs being the tongue is different. With the VBs returning in OG form... I would guess fit would be about the same

​

Man not only did these schools/players get exclusive Team PE Kobe 8s with their team colors...
UCONN Men got gifted the Kobe 6 Italian Camo
LSU Women got gifted the Kobe 8 Venice Beach
USC Women got gifted the Kobe 6 Italian
Duke Women got gifted theKobe 4 Philly
Duke Men got gifted the Kobe 4 Philly

Iowa is not part of the Mamba Mentality School and don't have their exclusive Kobe 8s but they got gifted the Kobe 8 Venice Beach.

I hope there's a surplus in 2 weeks time.
