Hopefully these can be added to the XX8 collection.  My wife is going to kill me.

This seems so weird that they would release these. I mean the announced RD is so close its like they just trying to find ways to take all our money! Lol

The sneaker community builds the hype. Advertising on TV isn't what JB does. They make a commercial year in and year out for the flagship model around all star time/release and that's it. Nothing new to this formula.

Westbrook has been wearing these a ton in games. That doesn't really make a difference. The first 4 colorways of this shoe generally were gone within the first couple of days and that's because of the amount of pairs made. Making them more limited is making more people want them knowing they can't get them as easily. JB is definitely smart for doing it this way. The next time pairs drop the community will be more thirsty to have them.

Sounds like you want these shoes to be more popular with celebs and stuff wearing them. I could care less. :x :rolleyes

I wanted to address this since I'm a bit pissed at these sneaker store antics. I had found a pair of my size in the blue xx8 at a local store. My bro was gonna cop as a gift. Checked back a day later and the blasted Nike store sent them back to Nike. To do what, I dont know. Outlets? Who knows, but back to Nike they went. Still angers me they were taken off the shelf. I know it's strategy, even though I don't understand it.
 
That does not look like red to me. Looks like nike's "total crimson" or even something mixed with orange. :x I want a true bulls colorway BLACK/WHITE/RED. :smh:
 
I liked the carbon ones when all we had was the Houston pic. Now I'm not feeling them so much. The red bootie and white soles put me off. Think I'll wait for ID before I get another and stick with my black volts for now

That pic of Sway rockin them unzipped makes the xx8s look horrible since he's wearing all black. The only ones that look good like that are the black/electric greens (aka volts). And those look very nice, at that. But that's it. The blue xx8s look good unzipped, I suppose, as well. But the black/greens ... Man! I don't even want to wear the xx8s down, but with those I would.
 
So we're potentially two days from this "release" and no one has a clue who will have them or where they will release?  Sigh...

What is Sway even wearing.

It looks like he's wearing a different version of the carbons with a black sole and rid zipper and black booty. Pry a different pe but its the closest thing we can compare it to.
