Hey guys, kind of new here but I have a question about fit for those who ball in them or had them for a while. I've spent hours looking through forums but couldn't really find an answer and I've tried on both sizes. For TTS, the kobe 8 fits, but my toes are squished together and when I go 1/2 size up, it's more comfortable, but I get minor heel slippage, but my toes are fine. I need to know if they stretch out over time so I can get my TTS or if they don't stretch then stick with 1/2 size up. I have both sizes right and torn between which one to keep! Please any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

The EM definitely stretches over time. Go with the tighter fit.

All this excitement for the Purple Fades will make them harder to get. Lurkers and resellers see it and will be in full effect come release date. GR or not, I can see a lot of saltiness in the future of this thread. As I've stated before, I can see this release being very similar to the Rogue KD IV release.

They won't be impossible to get, but if you sleep people will definitely regret it. Good reference about the Rogues.

I agree with Crazy EBW
I hoop in these and was torn between going 1/2 a size up. I'm glad I went with the smaller size because as they broke in, I found the fit nearly perfect. Especially if you ball in them, it will be important to be locked in. The lunarlon molds to your foot a bit as well.

Alright everybody, Nike just posted the press release for the N7 collection on their site. I posted the link in the KD V thread. Absolutely NO mention of a Kobe 8 version. So please no more mention of the Kobe 8 "N7" for the multi colored shoe. Call it what you want but not that for the love of god haha. Glad that's settled.

This is different than the usual hype though
People are hyped up cause we've been seeing these on his feet and think they're beautiful and now they're coming out
This ain't the type of hype people get over Yeezys or Corks. It's purely based on looks
BTW this is the first time in a while I've seen pictures posted of any Kobe, KD, or Lebron that's led to so much rejoicing and
icons
