full non performance review? Maybe just a detailed look. Not much insight on the tech or anything. Toe boxes look kinda right though.

Great. [emoji]128542[/emoji] just another KD, i will be forced to suffer with either tightness or to much space On special releases because nike doesn't like to make 12.5s on them.

These would do great with some simple colorways. I'd cop those red jawns on sale doe. Well, maybe.

So true, every "special" release like Christmas etc never release in a US 12.5 / UK 11.5.
But more general releases do. Annoying.

I always lol when they say how strong flywire. I'm sure it's pretty strong fiber, but go to any popular outdoor basketball court and you'll see plenty of people with hyperdunks with the flywire broken and flopping around

Yeah it's likely not a very early concept sketch but it could certainly be preproduction. Your logic pretty much fails tho. When designing anything, you have to have a design (hand or computer) before you can produce it. That sketch may be after they were produced but regardless, there would have had to be one damn close to it in order to produce it in the first place.

one thing i do like about the 8's is that we might get some Kobe type CWs and everyone knows i don't rock Kobe but there have been quite a few CWs that i have liked and
hopefully those ideas cross over to a shoe i do cop and wear!

This dude who said not the Kobe 10 is crazy. They are super comfortable after they break in, but I will admit that takes a min.

Basically that's what I said, that's a post produced sketch, being so pretty and close to the final shoe. There will be a lot of hand made early sketches, but they will look very different than the finished product. When the computer enters the equation, thus measuring taking place, THEN things get closer to the final product. I know a bit of this because I studied architecture, not trying to be a smart *** or anything. A quick example, Jorn Utzon's Sidney's Opera House (inspiration for the Kyrie's BTW):
THIS is an early sketch
THIS is the equivalent to the KD 8 very pretty "sketch"

@VLLE Yeah I think we were on the same page from the get go more or less. Just a matter of semantics lol. I'm trying to actually get into some mild designing and computer model rendering so that i can hopefully get into product development when I graduate. I would think shoe sketches from a nike designer would be decently accurate to the finished product depending on what stage they are at in the development process.

Going to try to limit myself to WTKD, AP, one more color and a iD
Edit: WTKD can be swapped out for a MC, assuming elite is flyknit or if WTKD is like the Kobe 9

I saw someone make a good point when they said that the KD 8 doesn't have 35 anywhere on the shoe. Could he be leaving OKC?

.both places we know so far (Wizards and Lakers) both have 35 as an option Though. Unless they said "we leave it off in case you get traded next season. Hes a FA after this season so any changes to minor details wouldn't change till the 9

He's not able to leave till the next shoe comes out though
Trade before the deadline. Either that or OKC risk him leaving for nothing.

Agreed. LeBron and Dwight Howard set that trend a couple of years ago. I don't see how the Thunder are going to persuade him to stay when Washington looks to be a player of his caliber away from contending for a title multiple times while he's in his prime. A fresh start, at home, could be what he needs..

not even the sneaker lover in me can overcome the feeling of feeling like a hypocrite...never been a fan of Kobe so I don't rock his apparel!

I use to be like that, never brought any of the big 3s shoes bcuz I wasn't a fan of them and then I tried some pairs on and I realized my feet enjoyed comfort better than they did style

That's great thinking ahead, I hope you have fun (that's a must!) and succeed in your future endeavors. As for the shoe,It's a pretty design, I don't know if fitted for basketball, but pretty. The materials seem way better than the previous ones in the KD line, hence the ridiculous price hike. I'm betting KD is gonna wear them all seasong long this time around.
