A shoe on eBay sold for $220, the buyer makes $194 after eBay fees and PayPal fees, and the shoes $152 with tax (ny) they end up only making $42. If people went through PayPal you save eBay fees which means you can offer the shoe at a lower price. And it doesn't hurt people too bad looking for the shoe after striking out.

Yeah I was about to cop but not for $200 I guess it's stock locate or bust for me. I always just miss the restocks [emoji]128546[/emoji]I hope Ndc does a restock of all the kobe 8s soon I need the bhms, and both ext but not for eBay prices. It sucks looking at all the shoes you want sitting at stores over seas.

I wore the South Beach inspired Nike Flyknit Lunar+ and it's not as comfy as the Kobe's.
It really is a great casual shoe. I got a ton of New Balances and Kobe's are like Charmin.

No not a hater at all. don't get me wrong. I unload some of my collection too when I get tired of them or no longer appeal to me. What bothers me is they go out of their way like camping out or sniping, bots etc. just to make a few $$.Whoa man, dont be hater. Dont knock thier hustle. it's a free country, people can do and make money however they feel.

A lot of the times people cop so they can attain another pair they want because people will hypebeast over a particular cw or pair the reseller doesn't care for. That or they just want to make a quick buck. In the end, everyone's a reseller whether you accept it yourself or deny it yourself.

its crying when you all are like... "awww they didnt leave nothing for us" and all they do is buy to sell. we have no clue what the circumstances are. none whatsoever.
nobody knows how many were produced so the large %%%% crap is garbage.
its funny that the OSLife pairs were selling for $200+ shipping and nobody was crying about the price BUT if a reseller does it, its immoral.

Got my pair and if you look back a page, yes a few declined to purchase at os life.
OK enough drama
question for you folks.
do you actually need to break in your shoes? The reason being adult league start this weekend and planning to ball on the Red camos and haven't had a chance to wear them. I don't remember doing this with my J's before. or didn't even care

you heard right man.. they go crazy for AJs and Kobes, specially quickstrike/limited releases. some retailers are shady too, making things even worse. I don't really know what this 'shoe game' is all about.. I just buy what I like and if the pair I like is limited, I just go a little out of my way to try and cop.

i have to agree the 8s are comfy right out of the box. wearing my 6s now and they cool but my bhm and red camos just feel noice!
hoping to get a pair for the low so i can beat them on the court. until then i have other shoes on the hit list that i paid much less than retail for.
