:x :x :x :x

that print, that swoosh, that sole color... i'm ready.

 

[thapointguy]

Don't think there will be GITD option now.

 

[jmhm]

It's been seen... The uppers for the stained glass/scales are extremely limited (ie like Kobe VII gradient choices )

 

[lcc1227]

^^^
These LOOK way more comfortable than those stiff @#$, rigid as hell, plastic upper VIIs. Will definitely be trying these on when they drop!

 

[richmond14]

Yeh i'm excited to try these on. They can't be worse than the 7s.

yeah i dont know if they're selling them, but i do know the vault truck pulls out some pleasant surprises.

 

[kobeoverbron]

damn... if that was a release id have to get them... smh

 

[kobeoverbron]

they're beyond spectacular. I've been on board the 8s ever since the first pics surfaced.
I liked the midsole but disliked the one piece upper. But with the patterns we're getting
it's all good.

I CANNOT WAIT.

 

[iheartboost]

Not liking that scale print at all, what happen to the camo - fall print of the sulfurs?

 

[mrem]

First sort of performance review is in and they're comfy:

I'm actually liking the scale print. It looks tough. Way better than the print on the 7s.
The camo ish print on the Pythons is nice as well.

 

[s dubl]

Scale print looks MUCH better when it's a solid color, or at least less random than the coogi sweaters. Still not a huge fan.

Wonder how the EM will hold up from dirt and/or tearing? Since the IVs, all models have been fairly easy to keep clean with a simple wipe down.

Also, doesn't look like there's any outrigger? Wonder how stable these will be?

It has an outrigger.

I don't think light colored uppers would be nice with these. I'm pretty sure clean up would be
a B.
dark colors for me. ZK5s are so easy to clean. You don't even have to.

When do these go live on iD? Is it a certain time today?
