My Mango Barcelonas shipped, as well. Mine are a little different -- black outsole shank and mango magwire.
I tried to stay a little more true to the actual VI colorway. Not sure how I feel about the tip overlay either. The mango looks pretty on point to me.
Sad to say but I pre-ordered the Prelude 8's for $390 shipped. I figured its about $110 less than the $500 I would be willing to pay, anyway. The two-tone outsole is a must for me.
I was wondering this myself. I have a wicked bunion on my left foot that doesn't really cause me any trouble in the 8's thus far because the mesh upper gives way, but I couldn't wear a single pair of VII's because of the stiffness on the upper and near the toe. Seems like the SS would feel more...
^^^ Nice collection. Man I miss my red camos/YOTS. Still going to try and scoop the SS eventually. YOTH I ordered from footasylum says "fully dispatched." Hoping to see em early next week.
Placed my order, $183.85 after discount code and shipping to U.S. Good lookin' out! These were going to be a tough get here in my area -- very limited number of pairs, so I was told, and I always strike out online. Greatly appreciated.
My ID's came today. Took three weeks to the day from the day I ordered them to the day they arrived. Inspired by the KD V Elite EYBL edition. When I saw JR Smith in them with the orange-ish laces I was hooked. They're not exact, obviously...but I'm pretty pleased. Might throw the blue lights...
Love the 8s...Haven't felt this way about a shoe since high school 14+ years ago. Don't care much for red suede/black scaled YOTS for some reason, though. Just can't get with em. Now anticipating the purple fades just like everyone else.
For what it's worth, my local footlocker is getting the red camo tomorrow, and the only Kobe 8's
they've had are the pythons and the blue lights. (Didn't even carry the sulfurs). That usually leads
me to believe they are more of a GR.
I've been wearing the Kobe VI to ball in since they came out,
then went back and forth with them and the Lebron 9. Hadn't rolled my ankle
in 3 years. On my 3rd wear with the blue diamonds, rolled
the living piss outta my ankle. I know you can sprain and ankle
in any shoe, brace or no brace...
