OFFICIAL NIKE KOBE 8 SYSTEM THREAD

[kennyisdead911]

lucked out and got a pair of DS xmas' for $280 from a fellow NT'er. Very excited. I have no idea why I slept on them first time around. I could have doubled up easily. Oh well, I'll have them in a few days.

I just got the easters and I'm loving them right now! Seriously these are dope 

Since there seem to be a slippage issue with all the Elite socks, what socks would you guys recommend?
I tried to find an answer in the thread but I have to admit I didn't read all the 1800 pages 

Are the NBA socks any good?
I'm only gonna wear them to play ball indoor btw
Thanks guys!

IMO, NBA socks are some of the best athletic socks around. Definitely give them a try.

for those asking for laces swaps, i used some extras that I've collected over time for these pics (wider, jordan-like). the black ones are from mambacurials. i'm sticking with the red ones.

Appreciate the lace swap pics up there, and the python lace swap on the other page

  i think ill just stick with the red laces, but all 4 colors will work in these imo

NBA socks + Kobe 8= paradise... on another note if u like the kobe socks after u wash em once the slippage will disappear

Sorry I didn't post the picture, on a tablet.

 

[nixonjames]

Damn , sounds like you keep em vnds for years

Personally i feel these have superior lockdown, i mean i suffer no heel slippage or anything, unless you guys talking ankle support

I mean ankle support mine are shot. I'm playing down low couple times a week.

I try to keep mine like that also cuz I'm not buying up multiple like sine of you blessed guys, just glad to have what I got lol.

 

[darthdeezy]

Was just curious and did the math...

ASG - $250 (although you could get the non-sports pack)
red EXT - $150
black EXT - $150
BHMs - $160
Supernaturals - $160
SH - $200
black elites - $220
12 remaining colorways - $140 ea
= $2,970

$2,970 / 19 = $156.32

You did better than retail 

I got the red suedes for 120
And the black ext for 140 both no tax.
That helped the average.
The most i spent on a pair was the MC's. 250

190 shipped for worn 1x pair of Xmas a .5 size too small? I don't buy used shoes, but my 10.5's have broken in nicely from casual/gym wear. I have lots of room in the toebox. Anyone cop worn 8's a half size too small? Comfortable with the price. I'm going to cop, but just wanted some insight before pulling the trigger. Haven't purchased a pair of 8's since the fades (got mc's in a trade).

I don't planing on copping anything until a cw he wore in-game is confirmed.

Sorry for the wall of text.

$190 shipped, only worn one time and just a half size down? I think that's a great deal. As long as they don't have a bad scuff on them or anything. I've got my fingers crossed for you, man. Good luck.

Good looking out bro. I hope so too. Just need the BHM's now and I'm golden.

python laces are perfect for the milksnakes

 

[mastralf]

Man I do kinda want the milk snakes for me they on the border of whether to cop or not. I try I think if there was a little less white on the upper I would get for sure. Kinda gettin dissapoined with bo laker cw I would hate to id then have some come out . I think the purple dynasty gonna be the inlines. I think those and homes will drop and they will be close to eachother release wise. I think they got most the base colors covered exept for a white pair.

Had a great weekend in SoCal, flew back home today and I had a surprise waiting for me I LOVE this colorway

 

[kjparfekt]

Nice surprise - jealous

 

[el burro73]

^1 of my favorites to hoop in. Nice MCs up there. Will be hooping in mine soon!!

 

[nickle dime bay]

Not really a surprise tho, i ordered them and knew they were there but couldnt open it definitely one of the best cw of the Kobe 8
