OFFICIAL NIKE KOBE 8 SYSTEM THREAD

QFT- We are our own worst enemy. Stop creating all this artificial hype, Nike and the resellers have caught on. Nike adjusted release numbers and resellers will buy multiples, driving up prices.

I look back at the Kobe V Inks, which I see as a similar colorway, and the response in the thread was positive, alot of folks wanted to cop, some said they would cop multiples, etc. But that was a different day. I guarantee those were produced in larger quantities than the 8's. Even with that hype back then, I copped a pair of Ink V's from the outlets (which had TONS of the for MONTHS) for 49.99 and a pair at rugged warehouse for 34.99.

Nike isn't making the same mistakes again it made with the V's by overproducing. They are now better at reading the hype and adjusting production. Less pairs made, and more sold at retail= better and more efficient profits.

All you dummies saying "oooh im coping 24 pairs, because Kobe wears 24 and I am a Stan" and "purple Fades>every jordan ever" etc, kill yourselves.

exactly, its overkill!.........then again
they're the best sneaker probably ever, ima get 2,3, f it, ima sell all my shoes to cop 10+ pairs!

not really all that to me!  just a purple shoe, but the way nters are acting over em, nike probably gonna say limited, raise the price by $50, and give you no box.......funny thing is these diehards will still cop! and double up at that!

You tried so hard, and failed.
 
LOL @ the preaching that goes on in here

dont come into a shoe forum and start telling people how to react or act or think or stay quiet....it is what it is, deal with it. no one cares how "true" a sneakerhead you are or how long you been in the "shoe game"....

of course we can all complain about what nike or resellers do, heck i do it myself, but preaching on about how to act in a shoe forum is non sense

Lmao. Dude wanted someone to agree so bad. But anyways, sign me up for a pair of fades. I want more info on the grey/purple pair Kobe wore Sunday. Love them, but I wish the sole was a translucent purple instead.
 
please dont tell me they are limited, i got a giftcard at the mall and they will be used on them.

I thought the grey/purple sole was DOA until Clark rocked them a few games ago (I missed Sunday's game). I want those and the fades.

i wouldnt say over every jordan ever but i would say over every other shoe release this year and last and before that lol retro jordan quality is garbage you definitely aint getting what you pay for, the kobe 8s comfort and look are on point many feel the same way, it everyone likes what they like if you prefer retros then thats you, i aint gonna hate you or even worse tell you to go kill yourself... your money is your money if you wanna double up on a pair or pass i aint gonna call you out about it. im no one and neither are you to tell someone else how to spend there own money... we have the internet nowadays keeping anything on the DL is impossible... i think we had a good run with half of these releases being "sleepers" meaning only we who actually cared about the shoe or player copped whatever CW they liked... the hype of the shoe was bound to catch up eventually... its an elite shoe on its own for a damn good price aswell

The Purple Fades have brought out the emotion in here...:smokin

All that needs to be understood is that "Eyes are on this thread"...:nerd:

Times are different than a few years ago...dudes are already getting SkyNet 2.0 and Autobot 3.1 ready for 5/11 :smh:

Looks like about 90% of the people here love this shoe, which in turn makes 100% off the resellers excited...

Doesn't matter whether it's a GR or not...5/11 is gonna be a hard morning for these.

Just make sure to be on your Ps and Qs come release day. Hopefully everybody can grab at least one pair for retail or less...

Good luck.
