kobe 8 are just awesome, i only returned my sulfur because they came with some pretty bad glue stains on them but of course they never restocked.  im thinking they will hit outlets

Theyre still up there on NDC

Im thinking the sulphurs will hit outlets too, despite what a few others have said.

DS pythons for 100$..not bad at all.

I traded my motorsport 6s for the xdr pythons

Money value wasnt an issue for me

back in '84/'85, i was wearing the Jordan I's to elementary school. i'm an OG Jordan guy from the beginning. had at least one pair from the I's - the XI's when i got to college. even i jumped off the Jordan bandwagon years ago.

you can only live on retros for so long...

as i sit here, i'm staring at 8 Kobe 8 boxes with all but the blue lights in them. the VC I was my favorite Nike Basketball shoe of all time until the Kobe 8 came out.

damn mad respect man..... this is proof JB fell off.

Nice dude and yea the VC I was a dope shoe 

 

[captainsneakerhead23]

I think the xx8 are a joke. Don't doubt they perform but wouldn't buy them

Lebron 8v2 are one of my fav ball shoes but the kobe v vi and viii are close in performance but so much lighter.

I just fear the Kobe's will wear down a lot faster like hyperdunks do.

Fam, those 28s are top notch to ball in. Don't get me wrong they look foolish on feet but on the court they're a beast from a comfort and performance standpoint.

I love my LBJ 8v2 and even my D.Rose Adidas as well, but after testing out those 28s everything else is on pause right now.

 

[ajk350z]

With the Kobe's just as light as the hyperdunks they just may last a few months of daily beatings on the court.

 

[atlterp]

Blue lights were my first kobes in a while...since I put them on, I want to wear them everyday So comfy!, my FL already has supernaturals in just waiting to release. Im excited to give my FTL vip a break and get some FL rewards going haha

 

[thapointguy]

Ya'll have not called Philly Knight to see what kind of release the red camos/vdays will be yet? Like I said you'll get different answers from the reps and it'll change each day on the status. Just wait for the day before release and we'll find out the definite answer. Let's keep the Kobe thread drama free.

I also have a pair of the Black/Volt XX8s...the comfort is definitely there...

Haven't had a chance to ball in them yet because of a knee injury tho.

But the Kobe 8s...words cannot describe the comfort they possess...extraordinary. And at $140 compared to $250...

The last pair I really enjoyed, almost as much as these Kobes, were the LeBron 8V2.

I don't know if these have been posted but more pics of the Red Camo 8s from KATC

[southside773]

just in from nice kicks had to grab for 112

 

[cowboy chris]

I love how clowns hate on kobe's shoe, but when I go in to stores I see Jordans, Lebrons  and KD still on the shelves

. 

 

[djyoung08]

The red camos looking better and better with every photo posted

is it march 9th yet?

 

[senorroboto2k5]

Wearing my Pythons for the first time and after u guys mentioned the "KB24", that was the first thing i noticed on these, pretty cool

Reminds me of the Laser 2k4... had KOBE hidden in the same area.

 

[sk33termcg33]

I see others with the corrals have followed my advice and put grey laces in. Really changes the whole look of the shoe IMO.

 

[cowboy chris]

Just got these in the mail today, I pleased to say the least

 

[b2h3m]

Finally got my shirt from OriginalRufnek and my socks from FreshSwagg.

how are the socks?

I have to agree and don't get suckered into buying It on the spot if its a GR. nike pressures us into buying it cause they say its a "limited quick strike" release but months later its still sitting on the shelves and at a discounted price.

Thanks for posting, just saw this too.

I have a feeling this will not be the purple gradient colorway and will instead be the colorway with an all silver (fiberglass) upper.

I could be wrong though and I hope I am.  Really want those gradients...
