sorry if already posted

Did the mod....and it feels awesome! gives it that extra bounce to it......

hmm i got full length zoom insoles from a few years ago, if it feels good ill def do this in the future. as long as it doesnt screw up the feel of the shoe

The Kobe 8 SS is only $140 on that eastbay link?

$140 on that footlocker link also

 

[retrothief]

anybody know what material is used for the scales; is it the same as the clear soles that'll turn yellow over time? 

 

[oreomamba21]

^Yes they will yellow

 

[odysseus]

It's more of a pliable plastic than a soft rubber but should yellow. Think of the netting on Jordan IVs and Vs.

 

[mwalker]

YOTH 8s looking like a limited GR, I see raffle procedures for them 

 

[jdromero86]

Sweet kobe ss for $139. Got my rsvp for them. With the extra money I was gonna spend at $160 ill get a shirt now=)

 

[ddash]

I just canceled my Kobe 8 SS preorder.I believe that I will be able to get a pair of these.I hope I am right lol.

 

[tatmantall]

I'm surprised that if nike wants to continue to use clear plastic and rubber on shoes they don't use it in a way that has an understanding if it's yellowing characteristics. If it's going to yellow design the shoe to embrace the characteristics of the aging instead of looking so horrible so quickly...

That's what it's looking like. All places this way doing FCFS so I expect it to be fairly easy.

i got a 50 NDC card, no idea if i should go after the SS or get some dri fit shirs for the gym, for $90 wouldnt be bad but im not much into them. i kinda wanna just ball in them but who knows how they will hold up

are the insole zoom air or crap lunarlon?

 

[tatmantall]

Shouldn't come as a surprise at all... Once the shoe starts getting "ugly" you'll want to go back and buy more from Nike/Jordan.

Got another call for the SS AT HOH cerritos. 3 for 3
