OFFICIAL NIKE KOBE 8 SYSTEM THREAD

[][v][aximus]

Hey guys I got a question, lets say someone wins a raffle but fails to show up the day of the scheduled pickup. The pair will be forfeited correct? My question was.. if it does get forfeited, do they go back and pull another raffle ticket from all the people who entered? Or do they just give it to whoever is there?

How do i get mine greys under retail?

DSG has them for $111 with the 20 or 25% off for cyber monday

i asked many times but no answer with all the WTK crap but i assume FTL will take them off exclusion soon? if so thats how you can get them under retail, they dont have % off now just strictly $15/20

even then with the $15 giftcard i have, still comes to the same price from DSG i passed on

i want them strictly for ball but i want to pay under $100 because after looking at videos/pictures they are pretty ugly

Well said.

Everyone is glad to eat off of someone else's info once a limited drop rolls around.  All someone has to do is use the search feature and they will find anything they need to know.  All of these sites have been listed countless times all over NT and in this very thread.  Instead, once every new release rolls around, it's the same familiar faces along with a couple of new accounts asking the same questions over and over and over.  Begging for information that is freely available if you put in 5 minutes of effort.  There's no such thing as burying info in this day and age, but as the old saying goes, you can lead a horse to water...

I'll fall back though and head back to my hype free threads.  Info is worth sharing when it's a two way street and there's a genuine love for the culture.  Very few NT threads are still like that even in the face of limited releases.

All the regulars that hang around this thread are pretty helpful. Everything went downhill once the wtks happened lol

i dont even care for the preludes my friend , i like the 4s but thats all , i wont even try to cop em cause all of em are nothing special to worry about , rather invest these money on a possible spark deal or some old barca kobes 

Especially at $200 a pop. Cracks me up. I really liked the 4s, too, but decided immediately I won't even look at them for that price. I understand what you're saying about the WTK actually deserving the attention they're getting.

Has anyone that got thru NDC received a shipment email?

 

[mrrolex]

Missed out today...Hope I get a chance to snag at a restock.

but on another note...this will probably rattle fatjoe

 

[isniker]

these are exclusive now? lol

these are exclusive now? lol

Nike got these fools thinking that way with the whole "WT" theme.

Preorders went from 900 to 350 and now dudes asking for $400+

# of pairs relate to the # of pairs belair5s were released in. 

 

[numba24]

People who lick soles are total tools. Honestly, what has happened to dignity these days.

Still waiting on mine.

Nike has been slow this week It took me like 3-4 days to get shipping email for mondays restock.

On a real note if Nike really wanted to make a LOAD of money on kobes they would drop on huge restock on the good colorways (ASG Xmas Venice beach purple fades etc). I need a pair of ASG

 

[dwr73244]

I'm gonna try for the preludes in the morning. As much as I love what they stand for in Kobe's 81 point game I like the style and uniqueness of the what the Kobe's so I might try to work out a trade with someone for a size 9. That's my hope after finding out that my local HOH raffle was rigged terribly.

cant be ... i got those after some mad clicking 

 

[af1 1982]

I'm telling you guys. Don't underestimate how hard the preludes will be to get. These WILL be harder than the WTK. I guarentee it.

Or just release these cw's in bigger quantities in the first place.

Listing the Venice Beach among the "good colorways" with the Purple Gradients and the ASG's is just terrible.

I agree though they'd make money off restocking the other 3, as they all sold well and quickly from what I remember.

This.

Nike gets absolutely NOTHING off these resellers making 800 dollars off a pair of sneakers.

If they mass produce the "limited" releases, they'd make more money and get 80% less hate mail. But woteva, what do we know. We're just simple people who don't rely on bots to get shoes

 

[jg1980]

These shoes look great in person. Can't wait to rock these. Excuse the iPhone pics
