Personally, these things are ugly. However, I know a lot of people are wanting a pair… most likely because they will be ‘rare’.
If you were one that liked the shoe but are unsure of how you will be able to secure a pair then you can pre-order them now at Air-Knight. Yes, you will be paying above retail but it will most likely be lower than resell prices after they are sold out.
No, you do not have to but if you wanted to then this is an option for you. Tip: if you don’t like the price, don’t pay the price. Simple as that. Complaining gets you nowhere. This is not directed at any one person in particular but a group of consumers that feels the need to cry about prices when there is never anyone forcing them to pay that price in the first place.
I think this is the worst kobe 8 color way. I’ve like ever kobe 8 so far except these.
does pre-order means i will get a pair for sure?
Pre-order means order early
I could’ve sworn these were Nike’s soccer shoe with Kobe’s alias on them. I know the guy admires soccer and style of the shoes that the players use, but this isn’t a good look in my opinion.
I agree completely
Nightwing2303 I emailed you about a defect in the air jordan xx8 please check it out for me when you get the chance thank you.
I like them because I love soccer boots and always wanted a Pair just to wear so I’m all over these if they didn’t have a KB logo id still buy these.
Dragon fruit inspired?
They’re inspired by Nike’s best selling soccer cleat (or boot as most call them), the Nike Mercurial Vapor IX (hence the nickname mambacurial). This colorway was the first released colorway of the Mercurial Vapor IX.
Pic for comparison: http://blogs.band.com.br/torcidafeminina/files/2013/01/Mercurial-Vapor-IX_7.jpg
the idea was clearly derived frm a soccer shoe, the styling of the swoosh as well as the big “NIKE” written across the inner side of the heel and even the colourway looks like one iv seen before on the mercurial soccer line. evn the name is mamba-curial -_-
Wow… NO WAY Captain Obvious!
NO SHIT SHERLOCK !!
The swoosh on the front…is that the same as the rest of the Kobe 8s where it is a piece of painted plastic attached to the engineered mesh? If it is, I would be worried about that paint being scratched off quickly when you play in them. That’s what’s stopping me from picking some up.
If it is just printed in as part of the EM, then no problem at all and I would be all over them because I love this look.
This would have been a nice addition to he kay yow collection. I think they look nice.
the swoosh from the normal kobe is visible, i hope they fix it. ive seen other images and its pretty much there in every picture
this is indoor version of the nike mercurial vapor 9 with the nike kobe 8 tongue
