I'm digging the blue lights...If they ever drop who knows.. I find it a bit surprising that to date Nike has only released 2 CWs for the Kobe VIII.  They released every CW under the sun for the Kobe VII but they're holding back so far on this years model..  
 
The timing of the Kobe release has always been like that up to this point tho right??

Del sol colorway an Xmas in December, nothing more than that I thought?

But In terms of knowing what's planned to release then I would agree
 
Probably getting a home pair, pythons, bhm's on 1/19 and allstars in February. Probably a bunch of TC pairs too. It's moving slow.

no one does.  it's factored in the "markdown" bucket of a retailer.  as a retailer, your goal is to sell it for more than you paid (ie cost price).  if the shoe (or item) really stinks it up, then the retailer can ask the vendor (ie nike, reebok, levi's, etc) for some sort of subsidy/vendor income to help with the markdown of the item.  most of the time, the subsidy ends up in a credit on future orders they may place with the vendor.

could that be a reason nike is shipping out less orders. maybe wanting to depend solely on ndc?

Its to my understanding that FL/Champs/FTA are credited their stock so they are quicker to throw things on sale because they are more pressed to make their money to pay Nike. And Finishline buys stock flat out so they take longer but will offer deeper discounts because its actually "their" product. Somebody correct me if im wrong.
