IMO, the Mambacurials are overrated. I like the look on soccer boots but it doesn't work on basketball shoes.

It was a joke fam... the Fades were so highly wanted and anticipated, maybe more than the MCs were.
But the limited numbers helped to play a big part of the thirst for the MCs...IMO.

Mambacurials are under rated.
I would have got the fades also if the colors werent similar those are top 5 also.

Please Nike, PLEASE release the Homes to us regular folks...
I can see the point of them also being under rated...
The MCs were one of the very few shoes, ever, that I wanted to get multiples of... they were just that nice to me.
Glad I was able to grab a couple pairs for retail on release day...

Wow, my first ZK8.
I was skeptical like everyone else about the low cut but of course, like everyone else, was proven wrong
I'm sure most people in this thread know all this, but here's my mini review for what its worth:
The first thing you notice about this shoe when you step on the court is the extremely thick and luxurious padding in the upper heel cup area. This padding does an incredible job of holding your foot completely in place no matter which way you cut. The only real adjustment I had to make in going from mid-high tops to the lower cut was getting used to the snug feel on the achilles tendon rather than around the upper ankle.This is minimal however and mostly forgotten about once you are in-game.
I tied my pair up real tight because I was afraid my foot would slide around with the unique material feel of the insole. This was not a factor whatsoever and I found myself loosening my laces after one game and feeling a bit more comfortable. The lunarlon insole is an entirely different animal than my typical preference of zoom air, but I am a huge fan. This insole is very lightweight and extremely responsive throughout the entire unit. One of the downfalls of zoom air (in my opinion) is that it only covers a relatively small surface area of your footbed and the outline of the zoom units can often be felt beneath you. Lunarlon solves this issue by being consistently responsive throughout. The wide lunar base made the shoe feel comfortable like it had the sole of a running shoe (which it essentially does). The cherry on top of the great stability and cushioning is the ventilation the engineered mesh provides. Traction is right in line with pretty much all other Nike Basketball releases this year, which has been top notch.
Incredible shoe, highly recommended for any player with any sort of athleticism and speed looking to feel quicker.

I actually went into my local Footlocker/HOH on Sunday and was able to use the Bday coupon on the Milk Snakes. Also had some VIP rewards cards that were about to expire, so the shoes ended up being $85 plus tax. Not bad. Was only going to buy these if I could get them under retail.

Guys!! If I order some kicks from ftl.com (Kobe's) can I go to the store and exchange them for my right size since it's only .5 down? I want to use that 20% off online but my size not available. Thanks

Mambacurials are overrated.
if they were a GR, they would probably sit.
underrated colourway = volts.

I really just think it depends on the manager. I was able to use the bday coupon no problem as well but wasn't able to use the new $10 off they give you on the receipts.
Were the cards that you used the older ones that they used to mail to us?

For me it's a three-way tie for most overrated: ASG, BHM, and Mambacurials
Underrated: Black and gold elites. They sat/sit because of the price (understandably so)

That's a real good question. Its worth a shot. Worst case scenario is that you have to ship em back and get a refund

So the Venice Beaches I stock located are "not at the store"... On saturday, the footlocker employee told me to call early today (monday) because someone might try to get them if I didn't since they are a "hype" shoe. Hoping nothing shady went down but whatever, guess I'l try for the Sulfurs when I go back

Nike... Release these because it's one of the top 3 most wanted unreleased Kobe 8's right now!
Such a perfect Lakers colorway!! My gawd... Perfectly executed. Dare I say, my GRAILS.

Hey guys,
I'm new to this board and was wondering...
Is $220 shipped too much for a new pair of Sulfurs? Can't seem to find them at all in my size (12) and these are the first ones I've seen in some time.
Plus they are on eBay from a place in Taiwan which is a little suspect I would think, but they have a ton of positive feedback and have thousands of shoes for sale. Store is called Kixpresss.
Thanks for any and all input.

The more I see the Graffitis, the more I like them.
I'm sure the fact that I passed on the volts has something to do w/ it.
Far easier grabbing these on 8/17 than trying to track down the volts, and I'm digging the Flash Lime.
