Official Nike KD VIII (8) Thread - "Easy Euro" OCTOBER 17th!!

Lettuce be cereal. Did yall like the 7 more? The 6 more? The 5 more? and so forth.
Maybe only the 7's got the upper hand on these 8's. But man every KD before the 7 was trash. EVERY.

4's, 6's, 7's were all good models, so they're shooting 37% in my books

The KD hasn't been good since the 2-3's. Don't let the nerf colorway fool you. The 4's are one of the worst made Nike shoes to date. Absolutely horrible
 
The 3 is my favorite in terms of comfort. Absolutely love that shoe. 4 had the best colorways but they're pretty uncomfortable to me.
 
4's arnt u comfortable for me, but I have. ever balled in them which is where I guess some have issues with them. Casually I think they're pretty comfortable and they look the best to me
 
4 and 7 best looking models for life, everything else trash. the 3's are good to ball in but they ugly .

suite 8's are dope but the rest of the colorways are super meh. I'm really upset how damn tight they are, which is why I appreciate the straps that would let me customize the tightness. I wear an 11 but an 11.5 is way too big, the suites will be my last colorways of these(only bought em cuz of the obvious evangelion influence, despite the name)
 
4's had some of the best traction I've ever experienced in a basketball shoe, but I also fractured my foot in them so my memories aren't fond. The materials they used, I think it was a super-thick hyperfuse(thicker than any KD or other signature since then) were really constricting for my toes also. Aesthetically they were tops, but the cushioning was meh, and the materials weren't the best. the 7s were the nicest feeling on-feet, but I never hooped in them.
 
I'm glad so many of you are sleeping on these. They're beyond comfortable. And besides the absurd price, which is unreasonable on all Nike shoes ... these are some of my favorite ball shoes in recent memory.

And they double up given their shape and profile as running shoes. Full length articulated zoom. Fly knit uppers. If only it didn't have the KD logo on the tongue and were just a high end Nike performer. I love them. The V8 looks like bozo shoes in pictures but in person the texture of the red knit make them look so much better up close. Layered. An all time great shoe.

They are better than the Kobe of recent years. And no gimmicks like pointless straps or pointless over priced foamposite. Or the ridiculous high tops that we've been seeing from all companies lately. Good stuff here Nike.

Can't wait to stock up on all the colorways beyond the ones I got once they hit the outlets. Which looks like they might barring a huge season from KD or if word of mouth spreads on how comfortable they are.

Agree 100% V8's are my favorite shoe for the gym right now and are really super comfortable once you wear them a few times and break them in. I will be getting them Hunts Hill Nights with the right discount for sure. If the 8's were like $140 retail everyone's opinions would be completely different because they really are a legit shoe just way overpriced.

Only I thing I hated about the 3s was that the midsole foam was so dense and how the sole came up around the back of the shoe

looking forward to the Hunts Hill Nights.......probably the best looking color way to this point IMO. Im curious to see whats in store for future color ways. IMO they have been better executed so far then the 7s IMO.

With the fall lurking ahead, I hope there are some leaks for the next batch.
 
Got my suits in yesterday. Idk where the uncomfortable talk is coming from . I rocked them casually and they are one of the most comfortable basketball shoes i have worn. I suppose it could be different after hours on the court but i will try to ball in them soon. I defintely like this model
