OFFICIAL NIKE KOBE 8 SYSTEM THREAD

new here, first post.  saw kobes all black shoes a few weeks back and loved em.  can you guys tell me if they are going to be released?  I don't like the pattern on the new Kobe's much, want solid shoe color
 
Won the lottery for the Kobe Xmas at my local HOH. When I got up to the register they had just sold out of the sz 13's which is my size. HOH does not guarantee a size, just a shoe.

Debated about grabbing another size - only size 11 and smaller left at this point. Decided to do the right thing and pass and leave these for the people who actually wear these sizes.
My belief is that if more people did this it would free up the sizes for the people who really want them and wear them.
 
Anyone not get a shipping confirmation from NDC on there KB 8s yet? There lagging big time.
 
If anyone has info on the 30,000 point shirt please shoot me a pm. I think it was vault only.
What I'm liking is this is the first time in a while we get to anticipate the next cw, unlike the VII's. I'm in on the blues and probably anything that drops in these.
 
What's the deal with the Pythons? Will they be general release, or will I have to step my game up to cop these too?

Yeah mine have been shipped and is here already I'm indy, but ups said I won't get them till Wednesday, I guess ups doesn't ship on new years eve and new years day?
 
does ndc normally send out tweets for restocks or do they just pop up?
They will typically tweet. Still hawking twitter for a restock, I'm sick so there's nothing better to do anyway

so far its looking like kb8>kd5>lbjx as far as signature lines this year are concerned.

I agree with this performance wise. Looks wise though, the color ways of the Lebron X have honestly made me end up liking the shoe more than I thought I would originally

That being said, still 8s still take the cake.
 
When did KB24 sell their stock? I was watching the site for days. Not that it matters to me really. Already have my pair from NDC coming in this week. Just curious.

I dunno about that. I own all 3 and have hooped in all of them, the KDVs are nice but the front of the toebox area is way too thin. It goes from nice zoom to nothing all of a sudden, took me a while to get used to. The LBXs are amazing. Of course, trying to compare them to the VIIIs is not fair, as they are completely different types of basketball shoes. The cushioning of the zoom max bag is amazing, and the overall security of the shoe is great. The Kobe's are everything I look for, though. Light, responsive, comfortable from the start, get better with time, doesn't show much wear. The upper from the sulfur is probably dirty if I look really close at it, but you can't tell at all that I've hooped in these. Amazing.

EDIT: I didn't take into fact that you may be going solely on aesthetics, if so my apologies for the long rant above haha I was going by performance.

I think this is my fear with IDing the white base ones. I'm afraid of it getting dirty and being harder to clean because of the mesh.
 
^ Yeah that's going to be a pain I'm sure. I think it's a safe bet for the money you spend to get a dark upper so it doesn't end up looking really worn in a short period of time, but if you don't care about that and are using them to hoop anyways, fire away.
 
Any info about Kobe 8 system socks ???
Are they going to be on NDC or Eastbay ???

I wish I were there. I need that sz 11. Wish folks would do that here in Portland, but damn that legit you did that. I did wind up getting my size. So I'm not trying to buy anything on this post. NO offers needed
