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

He's garage. He hasn't made a good show yet. These are an air max 2014 take down model with a KD logo put on it
With the cp3.viii heel cup.... Geez, and that all red color is just terrible. We need to go back to solid colorblocking where they had to at least attempt at making the shoe work. 
 
i cant wait until everyones tune changes once we see better pics and different colorways
If they find a good way to implement a USA/Fourth of July cw I might reconsider but that's the only one I'll even give a second thought about.
 
Front half of the midsole is turrible.

What happened to Magista inspired...

My exact thoughts right here. I was stoked when i heard they would be like the magista's. thought for sure id cop.

But these really aren't tooooo bad except for the forefoot. What is that? Segmented air unit or something in the forefoot? It looks horrible messes up the whole smoothness of the lines of the silhouette
 
So, runners? I agree with others after the 4, line has been nothing but a disappointment.
 
Once we get a multicolor flyknit, or a black/white (a la kobe Beethoven) flyknit, this thread will be jumping lol.  Overall disappointed, was expecting more from the KD8 but Ill wait to see some more colorways before I write this one off.

I think the 4's looked the best but are overall the WORST Nike basketball shoe ever. Upper made of molded Lego and a paper thin toilet paper sole. For 90 they were still over charging
 
it would seem to me that this style of shoe best suits his foot. Meaning, the 7 had way too much bulk and "form" to it compared to the 6. This initial pic would indicate to me that a "running"/minimal silhouette is better suited to his foot shape and running style. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong. It has potential, and definitely could be cool in the right cws

Hopefully the color ways are toned down compared the the ones they gave us on the 7s. And continue to dislike these even though ppl can change their minds so I can get these on discount.

I like the upper as it will have unlimited potential if Nike takes advantage of it and not hold back until the upcharge in the Elites. The Swoosh seems to be woven unlike on the Kobe X that has a fused one on the fused upper. Those are not "worth" $180. People hate this when people say this in relation to the price increase but the upgrades on these although not by $30, is good. I know if the Kobe X looked like these, they would be selling better than they are.

I think the KD logo is carbon fiber :nerd:. The outsole traction pattern looks great and even though some don't like the segmented zoom forefoot but it's needed for flexibility. Ya'll gotta remember the shoes are designed to help the player perform their best on court. Yeah they can make them look good too(these look good not cheap looking) and perform but they can't make everybody happy.

With that said can't wait to play around with id and see colorways with better color blocking. I know I will have to pay the retail on some but the GRs I can grab on discount.
 
The cut of the collar looks exactly the same as the KD VI's. Maybe they heard his complaints about the VII and decided to go on the safe route, so he can wear these.

so are we 100% sure that these are not a new spinoff of the air max or is this really the 8????
 
This all-red shoes thing doesn't appeal to me at all. What a terrible trend. :x

Anyone notice the womping $30 price increase.

Money = Saved.

Colorways I want to see from any signature line: Home, Away, High School/College Alma Mater, then some storytelling colorways.

Colorways I don't want to see: Any Yeezy inspired (All-red, black/solar, plat), excessive graphics.

This will make most silos decent once it makes sense with regards to the line.
 
So a few people are saying that these aren't the KD8s. I don't see how as we've seen them with the box but I just figured I would share.

Nice Kicks deleted that tweet, but as of right now the other guy's are still there.
 
These are horrible. You don't know what to expect from this line year to year.
