OFFICIAL NIKE KOBE 8 SYSTEM THREAD

Pull a "Discount SDubl Check."
^hahaha
The sulfurs in person look much better than the pictures, it's not a bright yellow as I originally thought. Looked really good.
I actually wouldn't be surprised if these sold out before hitting outlets. or became really rare.
Good thing I got a friend overseas, (may possibly go to work in Shanghai China myself for 5 months) for these if I got them, I would want the full sho.

So i finally got to try these on..
They felt wide to me, I wore a 10 in the VI and VII, had to go down to a 9.5 for these and they were still somewhat loose but not enough to go down to the 9. , so when I tie up they will be perfect,

btw I have narrow feet,

^ So if I'm a true 12.5, meaning thats what I would wear constantly if it were easier to get my hands on a damn pair that size, I should probably try a 12 in stores and see if they will work for me? Sounds like getting a 13 in these is out of the question...

Yea if you're narrow footed, I would just try the 12 on to double check.
I didn't have a problem with the toe box either, which a few people have said they had.
12 may be a little snug, but may fit
 
That t shirt is sweet! But like everyone else is saying, if I can't get Christmas' I will prolly get the sulfurs.

Thanks fam, probably gonna have to cop a pair of 8s as my first pair for the new year. Good lookin out though on the sizing.
 
Thanks for the info. Dont know if my son would like the Xmas Editions or Sulfurs, though. decisions decisions decisions.

Oh im one of the finalists in the Nike Vault Facebook Christmas Challenge. Im currently in 2nd place. Would really appreciate some help from the NikeTalk fam! Please if you guys can throw me an asisst, and go like my picture there. Its named @size_eleven_please. Thank you in advance! Would love to give those tickets to my brother and my 10yo. Happy holidays yall!
 
Sounds good man. Now I'll just need some help getting to secure a 13 :nerd: Don't know if that launch locator at FTL is accurate, all the stores I've called here in South FL say they're only getting the Brons or KDs,
400
yeah baby! Footlocker socal
 
Zero negative air in here. Complete 180.
Im liking the vibe. Has that zk5 feel in this
Thread! Cant wait to pick up my xmas pair
In 4 days
 
damn these are comfortable. I'm sold! Not paying retail, but I'll pick up a few pairs based on comfort alone.

:smokin
 
http://s888.beta.photobucket.com/user/geoffy99/media/image_zpsded10c67.jpg.html Hey fam. Been on NT for awhile. Formerly Gdubz but I'm having trouble getting on my account. Anyway I have been noticing via Instagram that there are XDR "Christmas lights" floating around. These have a solid sole instead of clear and look much better IMO. What do you guys think and how can I get my hands on some???? Haha
XDR version is the Chinese edition, since a lot of kids play out doors.
 
Triche (sp?) on Syracuse with the SULFURS on today. Doesn't match WHAT SO EVER but he knows what it is. Been wearing Kobe's forever so I guess he said oh well they're that good on court.
 
sulfurs WILL hit outlets. Just gotta be patient. The key is to try and work it so you get em now for less than retail so you dont have to wait :wink:

you may be right but i wouldnt be so sure. my local footlocker says theyre almost sold out of all pairs and they only had 2 FSRs same as what theyre gettin for the xmas kobes. with the del sol 7s they said they had double the pairs of what they got for the sulfurs.

I went to 3 different footlockers in 2 cities 1 finishline and none of them carried the sulfurs. only 1 foot action and the guy there had told me they didnt have a lot. plus all those stores mentioned are al getting christmas brons and kds but not kobes. I live in VA btw
also price was 150

Saw the Sulfurs in person today and :wow: these joints are :pimp: !!! Hopefully they will still be available after Xmas.
 
This. I just reserved two Kobe's. Glad I won't have to put up with that online bs. 

I am SO SALTY and jealous of you dudes that can reserve these. I'm in NY and no Footlocker here allows that I believe. GOD! :rofl:



That just kinda proves my point though. If KD doesn't know whatever nicknames dudes are using these days for something as universally popular as playoff XIs, can't really expect Kobe to be up on whatever nicknames people are using for his shoes either. Better or worse, people on all the sneaker forums/blogs and hypebeasts are making all the nicknames nowadays, and that changes every other day.
That Cherry nickname for the white/red XIIs is the worst nickname I've heard people come up with recently. My least favorite is still by far the "Raptor" VIIs though. Shoe released before the team was even established :smh:

The Raptors and Breds nicknames DRIVE ME CRAZY. The Raptors did not exist in 1991-1992. Period. End of story. You're a lame if you refer to them as the Raptors. And the Breds thing is just a complete joke. I would never call them that.
