    OFFICIAL NIKE KOBE 8 SYSTEM THREAD

    Speaking of pronation - Lunarglides have done wonders for me... prob the most comfy shoe I've ever had, hands down... Also the main reason why I like the 8s so much.. similar materials (engineered mesh, Lunarlon).

    The only thing I wish they could have done, or better yet... Should've done w/ the regular 8s is make the tip of the tongue just like the elites. I dig the ventilation holes, but I'm not feelin the sharp tip at all... almost feels like cardboard sometimes, the way it rubs against socks. Was it...

    OFFICIAL NIKE KOBE 8 SYSTEM THREAD

    The only slight modification they could've used on the 8s is to at least put a thin foam layer around the edges of the tongue... Just like they did w/ the elites, although the tongue on those is entirely foam.. But they could've at least stitched that material along the tongue's edge on the...

    Ur best bet would be to call HOH Gallo... They seem like the only reliable location when it comes to info. When i called there earlier this week, they told me that it would be a good idea to show up by at least 9, cuz ppl start lining up an hr early... but when I hauled my way down there after...

    Engineered mesh upper + Lunarlon midsole = winning combination.

    Yeah I felt kinda stupid going to wbrook, then driving all the way down to gallo later cuz the one at wbrook said they didn't have the shipment yet.... One dude said they might get em later today, then about 30 min later they were like.. Umm, we're not sure if we're getting em this wknd, so I...

    Dammmnittt!!! Some FTL employee just came up to the gate & said they DON'T HAVE the shipment in yet & never got it like they were supposed to yesterday... but he said they usually get it in at the last minute sometimes, & said there's a good chance they could get it by 10. This is pure F-ery!

    I think that boils down to region.. e.g. most cities in Cali - prob not, based on all the raffle mentions on here. Other places - really hard to tell... Unpredictable. guess they're not as big of a deal as I'd thought here in Houston. I wish they'd just go ahead & check us out, instead of...

    Ok so I'm here waiting right outside FTL, but I'm wondering... are the 8s true to size or run a little snug? Did most of y'all get normal size or go .5 bigger?

    I'm in the same boat... Willowbrook is the closest one to me & when I called earlier today for the ##^%!th time, they were FINALLY able to confirm it. They also said they'd be opening at regular time, I think 10.. instead of 8. I also called HOH Gallo again & they also said it would be regular...

    Yeah they told me the same, but it's hard for me to take anyone's word for it, based on some of my retail experiences. But I'm just craving that feeling of wearing em right out the store.

    They just said it would be 1st come 1st served on Sat. Said there won't be any raffle when I asked, but im calling them again today or tmrw just to make sure.

    Any H-town peeps hitting up HOH on Sat? I keep calling up my nearest FTL (Willowbrook) & they're STILL not sure if they're getting them.. Although that location & many more are listed on the launch locator, I don't wanna take it for granted until I've got actual confirmation from the store...

    Honest Opinion On Yellowing?

    I've always wondered what some of the newer 11 retros w/ the icy light blue soles will look like after plenty of wear... perhaps a more greenish hue, I'm guessing..

    I noticed how the color concord was always a part of every prior kobe series... whether it be the shoes or apparel... but it seems like none of the Kobe 8 products are using that color any longer.. Wonder if they just decided to abandon it altogether. I always thought the concord inlines for...

    The only thing I'm wondering about the fades on 5/11 is if there'll actually be any lines. For those who've copped a GR at fl in the past months, how crazy does it get?

    Pretty sure they will, I just hope they don't go the Jordan route tho.. Except for retros, of course.
