they're not bad, I think the exts are going to be fire on this model, a flyknit/weave floral is gonna be nice

 

[drisk34]

if these are the regular model and the elites are flyknit, i have a feeling i will end up with alot of pairs of the 8s

 

[Mister Meaner]

Wow, a different color and I think these are pretty fuego.

Don't look anything like a bball shoe though. Take off the KD logo and these are an AM running shoe.

 

[exceptionl]

Anyone out there think these will look better with flat laces?

I would have preferred a kd 6 swoosh placement on these.

 

[thapointguy]

Yes to flat laces

No to Swoosh placement even though I like it, gotta give it a break.

 

[cowed77]

i hope watever is holding down the 1st 3 rows of the laces are strong enough.

Couldnt make out eyelets, and it looked like it might be just a thin protruding lace loop, besides the flywire.

like that it looks lower profile, just would prefer a higher cut. haha!

Patiently waiting for USA colorway

Absolutely amazing what that video did to change my mind. I've been cussing the 8s in my head since those first pics came out. Now I'm all In.

Whatever they call those "hype" guys that get the shoes before release, to post pics and vids....that guy just nailed it!

I haven't really bought any red shoes recently but damn these are nice. Really feelin these KD 8's.

 

[thapointguy]

those sabertooth more like shark fins lol

with that said would like to see these in the kobe vii sharks colorway

 

[sunshineblotters]

Cant wait to drape some nt denim over these   

if these are the regular model and the elites are flyknit, i have a feeling i will end up with alot of pairs of the 8s

I would definitely like to see a flyknit version of this. They look better in the clear pic but I still dont like em as they are.

 

[jking0821]

the silhouette is nice...i really hope the forefoot midsole grows on me or maybe looks better in other colorways. Because right now i can't get over it

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

Hope Nike throws some nice colorways on these

SP CW please!

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

SP CW please!

I was thinking this too

Basic Black/White is what I want to see. But I guess it is too basic for a KD.

BHM 7 CW would look very nice on these but like you said, KD usually has the loudest CWs.

 

[drisk34]

lets just hope there arnt as many trash colorways on this as there was on the 7

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

It think this cw would work well on these 

 

[jbc908]

outsole reminds of of an asics gel runner

 

[YepYeppers]

Bruh,

- shape of the shoe is completely different
- heel cup is completely different
- height of the shoe is completely different
- angle of the shoe is completely different
- design on the side of the shoe is completely different

Must not spend a lot of time looking at concept sketches. They're not supposed to be as detailed, but yes I can clearly tell that the produced pair follows almost exactly with the concept sketch.

Like them alot. Better than the 7s.

its best to just not feed the troll

Really interested in seeing how the special colorways like the Aunt Pearl, Weatherman, PBJ etc.. would look on these.  Lots of potential if its executed right by Nike.
