I can’t make up my mind on which Nike Kobe 8 SYSTEM colorway I love most…
This has been the most solid lineup of Kobe signature models since he signed with Nike… at least it is in my opinion. The Purple Gradient aka Playoff colorway will release this Saturday on May 11th for $140. If you were contemplating grabbing a pair but were not convinced just yet then maybe this detailed look & review will help you make up your mind.
Hit the jump for more and let me know if these are a must have for you.
How do.unget your shoes so early…
What is a good store to buy kobe 8’s. I am on a hunt i just cant find any. They are not in any nearby stores, outlets or nothing.
I don’t understand why you will buy like 7 pairs of one model and then won’t review the hyperfuse series because they are too much alike.
Maybe because he doesn’t review these shoes.He buys them and shows them because he likes them and doesn’t do any performance review of them over and over again.
And for hyperfuse series,you answered your own question,they are too much alike to do a review of a similar product.
Are you for real kenny?He just likes these shoes.So simple and i think this is his site and he does whatever he wants to.
Do you fund what i do? Last time I checked, i havent taken a dime from anyone. I bought these to wear casually bc i like them. I dont waste my cash on hyperfuse to review bc the reviews would be the same each time.
Please nightwing, no need to respond to such pointless comments (like kenny’s). Like Alexandros said “are you for real kenny?” Been a quiet visitor of the site for a while, but I had to respond for the first time because kenny’s comment irked me a bit. NW, ignore what seems like ungrateful people and do what you want to do with your own money and time. Thanks for all your passionate work on this site, always a joy to read/watch. I like the red ones, I have the brown python version myself.
Yeah I know but it really pisses me off when people say things like that. If I ever said something like that to another person to their face Im pretty sure I’d be missing some teeth. I appreciate your support!
Let us, your avid readers/fans take care of this guy NW. You can go back to what you love to do most.
Kenny, you need to learn a little courtesy here. His house, his rules.
Well said Nightwing!! Great Vid as always!
LOL! idk why, but i got scared when you jumped and switched to pants. then started laughing. lol!
*sigh…. I got the blue lights but I’m not sure if I like them better than these… why do all have to look so nice!!!!
Hey Nightwing, you think they are going to do a GC/XDR release on these guy? Because I’m really interested in the colorway!
Hey Nightwing, i hope you reply
Love this colour, if only i had the money right now 😛
Also, the hyperfuse line HAS changed with each model, however only in the sense that the cushioning has become more firm, and the upper become more stiff.
The originals were the most comfortable by far, with the only downside really being a problem with overflexing.
I would say its fair enough not to review the 2011’s, as those were very similar.
And the 2012’s have a huge break in time, and are really stiff and unflexible. Definatly they are catered towards outdoor play.
However i hope you do review the next model as they seem quite unique in the collar aspect and i would love a review before buying 🙂
keep up the good work!
NW already said he will do a performance review on the 2013 hyperfuse 🙂
cant wait!
These look sweet from the pics, but do they look even cooler in person?
NIghtwing go on nikeid and go to kobe 8 there is a new customizable theme for kobe 8
Kobe 8 is the most comfortable shoe on the market but I really feel like they’re overpriced (I guess like most things now a days).
especially overseas, they cost $200 here in Asia.
don’t know why i keep buying another pair though. haha
Hi i was wondering if you could tell me the difference between Kobe 8 System
Kobe + 8 System
Kobe + 8 System sports pack
Thanks! Was wondering if the Supernatural Kobes are any different from these performance wise
I appreciate what you do so much bro keep on doing the great job i cant wait to pick these beautiful shoes up but i thought their retail price was $150
that jumping stuff you do when changing from shorts to pants on feet is hilarious! seems superhero like. definitely can’t pick between the blue glows and the purple gradient, as they are fighting for the top spot at favorite. you also did some mr. foamer simpson jazz with the ‘bang bang’ bit. haha! cheers.
Dope and fresh af.
Puprple Gradients are Redonkulous!Love d on feet section. Changing of shorts/jeans was so cool.
Do these have XDR versions?
Yeah, I’d also like to inquire if there would be a GC version for the Gradients.
I think these are XDR’s, full shozoku logo at the back of the shoe.
the purps are by far my fav
Hopefully kenny knows that kicks genius has a nike hyperfuse 2012 performance review!!
Love the on feet section!!!
Wow… didn’t know a simple opinion would cause so much hype. Sorry for seeming so harsh. Believe it or not I actually support the way you do your reviews and enjoy your site.
I think it would have been better if the toe part was clear like the Easters and Volts.
Will I be able to find the online in a 15? Footlocker only goes up to a 14 online.
How can I order this shoes online?
I already looked in footlocker and nike website, but I can’t find any.
Please help,I really want this shoes for my son
what colorways of the kobe 8 would likely to play with in outdoors
Blue and Gradient blue. 🙂
Hey Nightwing, where can I buy a pair of these? I looked at Nike’s website, Foot Locker’s website, etc. and they didnt have it. Any suggestions where?
I cnt find them anywhere either besides ebay i want the blue or purple but no one has them. You could try a nike outlet or in store at footlocker.
What’s better kobe 8 superheros or those.
Where are the shoes for sale for $140?
Where can I get these pair?
