OFFICIAL NIKE KOBE 8 SYSTEM THREAD

[jslimm 1985]

Why did I go into shiekhs and this dude tells me lebrons shoe has more tech than kobes and always had lol. then he says kobe gets his tech from the lebron line.

He also should've told you that he had a slight ******ation. :x

808 HoH had one left (sz 11 with it being the display) on Saturday. My size but went with an ID instead. Jus sayin...

I think Shiekhs has the dumbest employees out of any other shoe store I've been too. It's like every single Shiekhs has dumb employees. Dude's just hire their boys and ****. :x

I was told that the production volume of the Kobe 8 was less than previous models. I can only assume it was because of the lack luster sales of the VII. 

This is true I mentioned this a page or so ago. (Kd4 treatment)
If u have access to any HOH you'll see the # of units footlockers as a company bought for each shoe. Kobe's in general have been less than lebrons and KD so far

Also I clean my sneakers after every wear. Makes it easy if you end up selling or just in the long run they look cleaner.

Those blackouts r pretty dope

Which sucks with all the talk of this possibly being the best Kobe

To me, definitely the best Kobe.

Im 100% ok with this as long as its not drastic. I got tired of paying retail for over produced shoes that are guaranteed to go not just on sale but be clearanced at outlets. I have no problem paying retail if there likely not to be around for sale.

Eastbay has a fsr still. They may not go on sale now but eventually. Most first day colorways of Kobes has gone on sale/outlets some point in time. I don't see how it won't apply to the 8s granted they are amazing this year. I'll cop the Sulfur if they go on sale but if they dry up by then that's fine with me too.

The Carpe Diem KOBE IV went real fast and they were suppose to be a GR

 

[johngotty]

You must really take care of your shoes. I have never cleaned the soles of my shoes

I clean the soles on most of mine. Not completely necc. but I prefer them to be clean.

Happy New Year's Eve from the Kobe 8 family

 

[nike4kja05]

dope pic jeff. I didnt knot the vault was selling those little icon figures for the 8's. Nice collector's item

 

[og2345]

Was able to find someone to do a size swap for the xmas and we'll both get our shoes on Wednesday

For some reason the 10.5 didn't fit right like all my other sz11 Kobe's.

 

[rjohnse5]

Just curious, if someone doesn't have enough posts to post in the buy/sell forum to initiate a size swap for these bad boys, how would you recommend doing it?

 

[qique51689]

Still no luck for my size 11 anywhere! Just going to have to let this shoe slide

Carpe diems and delsol 4s sat for a little bit around me, then kobe went for 61, then poof they all dried up.

Overall I do agree Nike is definitely making less units and cws so far for kobe. Kds have had 4, lebrons about 100, and kobe just 2....

@ the lebron comment - too true

 

[blacklion23]

How can I get my hands on the "4 Mastery Icon" figures?

 

[og2345]

*scratches head*

My bad bro lol
I didn't make myself clear, I would think the 10.5 would fit good but guess it didn't, the 11 fit just right with space.

Is that better? Haha

Happy New Year NT!

 

[tdogg2k]

when shoes go clearance discount? who pays the difference. the stores? or do the stores get the money from nike when they have to throw it on discount.
did I make that understandable.?

 

[tyonenine]

Thoughts on the "blue lights"?

Sulfurs are still ugly, waiting on those pythons
