OFFICIAL NIKE KOBE 8 SYSTEM THREAD

I would not be surprised if they took the teijin microfiber from the vapor 8s. For these. They look like a soccer shoe which I think is a great thing

I think these look way better then the 7. Well done Nike will be picking up a pair.
 
Ugly as hell from what I'm seeing now. But official pics and the shoes in person ALWAYS looks better when i comes to Kobe's. It's the subtle, intricate details that make me love the kobe line. So plain from far away but so elaborate up close.

Completely agree. Sample pictures of all the Kobe's since the IV have looked like doo-doo. Once you go to the store, see them in person, and then try them on... the opinion changes drastically (even with the 7s, for me at least).
 
Why can't Kobe get some heat pair.. Can't stand the VIIs performance.. :smh:

stictly a performance shoe. Absolutely no casual appeal whatsoever.

it's funny because people said this about the zk5, zk6 and kobe 7 before they released and early
during it's run. We all know how that turned out. Plus this is a bad picture of a sample of a shoe
that could possibly look completely different.
 
man the kobe is already at the viii. why not lose the big swoosh already? hes popular in asia.

same goes for lebron. lose the big swooshes on the side

old school nike sigs always lost the swooshes eventually. does nike not think anyone can stand on their own when it comes to sig lines these days?

or are they doing this because they fear if a line is big enough to stand on its own the player will try to go the jordan route and remove swooshes and nike altogether in the future? jordan is an ******* for doing that by the way. that ***** dumb as a rock cause nike still appears on the shoe boxes and the air is still nike technology..

not sure if serious
i can't stand jordan brand right now but jordan is far from dumb, have you seen jordan brand sales numbers
 
This dude calling Jordan dumb is probably the same dude that buys Air Jordans, thus paying the man he is calling dumb. His company takes your money and somehow he is the dumb one? SMH :smh:
 
Loving the potential. Look sleek, light and instantly comfy.

Reminds me of an indoor football (soccer if u must) shoe like the Gato or something

Nike u may have failed with the Brons and the KDs but u've got me here
 
Can't wait to see these cats doing a 360 when the final product leaks. Right now, I like what i'm seeing. Hope they just left the swoosh at the toe to give it a different look.

I am glad they didn't use the dynamic flywire. I don't think it would have looked good on a Kobe shoe.

I'm glad it's seemingly not like the 7 flywire... that wasn't too flattering in almost all cases.
 
So no infos on price and used technologies? are we gonna have different  versions like last year?
 
Hopefully they improved the system, although I loved the PlayFast. Probably in the minority on that...
 
I just hope they stick with Lunarlon AND full length Zoom. how is Full length Zoom hard
to implement right? Or articulated full length Zoom if Kobe needs flexibility. But as long
as it actually works (zk7 I'm looking at you), I'm good with it. I just want a new shoe to
ball in. Been stuck with the 4,5,6
