OFFICIAL NIKE KOBE 8 SYSTEM THREAD

[ham182]

I guess this is more to ya' liking. Knock yourself out....

No bs, don't like wtk shoes at all but makin fun of the blackout, that's me right thur Forreal. I loud colors are for younger cats, or at least around my way mad young cats wear the loudest stuff possible and it ain't cool if its simple and clean, but then again it is all about personal preference. I don't hate on no one else's taste, and if you a grown man and love loud a** Cw's, don't bother me at all. every man and human is different. That's me right up top doe, right when solid uppers came out, I ordered an all blacked out pair immediately. Fell in love with the blackout when kobe first debuted the 8 in Cleveland. Always loved blackedout Kobe's and shoes in general, have made a blackout kobe model or copped if a blackout was released for every kobe since the 4. The black gold elite is my favorite cw for the 8's that released. But that don't mean I don't like color, cause my fades, Easters, sparks, and Sulphurs are right up there as well. But the wtk is too much and can't do the mismatch look that drastically for my taste Forreal Forreal. Bottom line, do you and imma do me, not directed at no one but in general.
Good luck to all you cats tryna grab these wtk joants up doe homies

why dont people just take the chairs?

That was my thing about camping .. how the hell do people honor those ghost chairs. If I EVER ... EVER .. decided to camp out for something, like hell Im going to be standing behind you EMPTY seat. I will glady walk right on ahead of your spot.

Thats like showing up to work clocking in and then going back home for the day and then clocking out. That s*** dont fly. Like said before, if you're going to camp out for it then do it

I always wondered about this myself. How do you camp out days from your house cause you have a chair in front of a store? What's stopping the next man from just kicking your chair down & taking your spot?

Well, I found out at HOH PG Plaza..... It's a mafia system out there. It looks like there's 2 dudes out there chilling by 15 to 20 chairs? Them two dudes are strapped. The dudes running things ( the same ones every release ) place them chairs out there & basically sell the chair's spots. Per example..... for the Bel Air 5s them dudes charged $100 per chair. You pay your money & line up by the chairs in the order of the chair the day prior to release. And this **** goes on for every limited drop since it's no RSVP or raffle out there. I wouldn't believed this **** if a dude I know from the area didn't tell me how it goes down & how he ended up copping a certain limited shoe out there. And I willing to bet the HOHs employees know all about this mafia system but could care less. The crookedness that goes on IN that store would blow your mind so why would they care about what goes on outside.

The prelude pack will also release in Europe, just check with the Nike Europe customer service! If it is USD 200 in the US, it will be like € 180-200 over here, meaning that not that many people will cop, since the limit for most people to spend on Nike shoes is about € 175-180!

Just confirmed it will be released in Europe....Not so sure about the pricing stopping people from buying though....I m gonna cop one pair anyways...;p)

 

[ham182]

Yeah right der witchu homie. Growin up in bmore, it was all about the all black errthing head to toe yurd me.








I guess this is more to ya' liking. Knock yourself out....

im just saying, i grew up in a time where if dudes would have wore the what the shoes on court they would have been laughed right out of the league. I mean honestly, If Michael jordan would have worn a pair of WTJ XIs out on the court back in the day, people would have thought he went all dennis rodman. Back then it was a big deal to just have a few tattoos... sure the times have changed but thats what I know and like, keep it simple without out loud mismatched colorways that requires everyone to buy certain lame outfits put out specifically for shoes and walking around looking goofy in the eyes of the world. I just cant take it seriously, sorry. Like I said though, to each their own. If its what you like go for it, and while I could go for them and resell thats also just not how I grew up collecting. i dont like them so ill leave them for someone who does. Yeah I guess i could make a few bucks off some kid who really wants em, or I could just hope that he gets them for retail because I believe in karma. Good things happen to those who arent constantly looking for a means to get one over on the next guy. Regardless of how collectinhg has evolved over time, it doesn't mean I have to. I am to the point with my collecting that if I get what I want for the price I have allowed myself then great, but if not life goes on.... Anyway good luck to those who are going for them.

So rolled up to the only champs thats getting the wtk in houston and asked about them and the guy there told me they're not getting them.

I gave him the camron look and told him he was lying. He then said to call tomorrow.

I mean I just stopped by on my way somewhere so I wasnt tripping, but I dont understand the need to lie.

He didn't want to just say that the employees were buying them all up lol

Got my raffle tickets in KC at 2 locations today. Good luck to everybody who really wants them. I can't wait to see how comfortable 8s are!

Also neither store had them in yet so they didn't know how many pairs they'd get. And only 1 store took my size on the raffle ticket. :\

 

[iloveroshes]

does anyone know what NikeNYC's pickup window is usually on Fridays? Is it the same time as past Saturdays?

 

[evilside]

[619destroyer858]

im not sure about he Prelude crap

 

[jungmula]

I don't come into this forum and start throwing around my opinion like it matters, but hard to deny the prelude 8s as one of the sickest 8s to come out.

The fade on the translucent sole? Unreal.

 

[256bama]

Nice

 

[Shwa3 Ma3]

PG Plaza HOH getting them.

Might be my favorite shoes of the year, it's insane.

I debated ordering some dream season 5s... Been hesitant because my true size is 11.5 and I don't think there are half sizes over 11 with Asia releases.  Curious to know how they perform!

ayo I recieved my dream season 5's today and balled in them and they are awesome yo. They feel light as hell, comfortable, quick, and the zoom unit is crazy responsive. Definitly recommend pickin these up for ball homie. Real glad I copped these joints. It is exactly what Nike tried to do, make it an outdoor version twin brother of the kobe 8 and its spot on. And the upper looks like mesh but its durable as hell and and can take a beating and still look goood. Doesn't scuff or nothing.
