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

Why did it come in a Kobe box though j/k. It does look like the shape of the shozoku logo though lol

What did you have to do to win it?

It reminds me of the Kobe Shozoku as well.

I was lucky to win a game of knockout at Pan Pacific Park and the prize was a pair of 8's!
 
Very confident that there will be 8s in all those colors we've already seen the red on trey 5 and 8 the other two feel to me like they will look so dope on the 8 especially that 62 one and the story behind the 62 is probably pretty interesting too.
I'm guessing it references his signature move called "62". The mayland imprint on there seems strange but maybe it's trying to honor his home state where he honed his sig move.

Check out his move here

 
cant really tell if over pronates unless you see him run, i will tell you hough, with that posture he probably is bow legged
True, but he is severly overpronating while standing in that pic. Ive watched him play quite a bit and he doesn't overpronate with running so much (runs on his forefoot) but probably does when landing
 
Airbag options on ID are kinda random.  Wider range of colors for translucent outsoles wouldn't hurt. As well as availability of glow swoosh across different uppers.
 
I don't like how some sneaker sites are calling Articulated (with uppercase A) Zoom Air an innovation, like they never used it on the late 90s. Like hex Zoom, it's just a way to implement the same old tech.
 
^I know there has been articulated zoom units and maybe full-length articulated air (non-zoom) -- thinking this is just a first for a full-length zoom  unit that's articulated.  I suppose I could be wrong...
 
Yeah i doubt you will feel the zoom unit right there in the front. Nike has to justify that price hike.

Were you wearing Kobe Rose Golds? :nerd:

I figure they had the 8s for you guys to weartest.

Anyhow, you got(work for) a pair and hope they are your size not like the Curry's :lol:

Fortunately, they had my size so I don't have to quadruple sock like the Curry's :lol:

Vine of the box:

I would say the kd8 is a huge step down from the kd7 style-wise. Every angle looks pretty sick, except for the side profile. The giant thing jabbing out at the back of the shoe is so ugly, those bubble things up front.. eugh. Maybe they were going for performance?

Don't even get me started on the lifestyles
