The more I see them the more I love them… I just hope they play well.
Engineered mesh is featured along the entire upper and that is the main attribute that intrigues me. Will it be able to hold the foot in place properly? Is the mesh reinforced enough and how long will it last after taking an on-court beating with feet stepping all over them?
I don’t know about you but I cant wait to find out.
These look really good to play, also look like the draft day six’s. Can’t wait for the review!
Traction looks to be awesom, love herringbone!! hey wat do u make out of the signs across the forefoot of the shoe thats on the outrigger or midsole???
Oh nd any details on the cushion (obviously zoom bt wat abt the setup????)
as NW said, this may be too unstable
Any one who has ever played in mesh trainers including me will tell you they just can’t keep up with your side to side movements and thus your chance for breaking your goes ankle way up. And the kobe VIII looks scary to me cus it looks just like those mesh trainers I have.
they look like running shoes
Can’t wait until you get to review these. Curious about the engineered mesh on how they would perform on a basketball shoe.
best looking kobes in my opnion
I guess it all depends on how well the mesh was created,
this blue color looks good ^_^
Looks like running shoes with a basketball traction.
looks like free runners to me. wonder what the cushion really is. looks comfy but again, support would be the biggest question here.
They look like FREE runners? You high, bro?
I’m referring to the aesthetic look, not the outsole.
and I’m not high thank you.
also, I believe you are not aware of the Free Runners mesh design. you might want to take a look at them. I do wear runners, that’s why I said it looks like the free runners rather than trainers which have a different look and materials.
They are looking good for a low top with herringbone traction, promising heel counter, carbon fiber shank and especially that inward 5th eyelets. That would help lockdown just by looking at these.
But I don’t see any flex grooves on these, unlike many recent Nikes. I guess some break in period will be needed.
mesh? aren’t that as soft as the prestoS?
I don’t like that thin tongue though :-/
ugliest shoes.EVER.
Can anyone figure out wats written in the heel in dots
I think these won’t rip along the midsole ’cause I see Hyperfuse in there, I don’t know the rest. Correct me if I’m wrong.
it’s interesting to see a change for the materials of the upper, especially if it truly is EM used for it. remember the nike jet flight? the thing i’m concerned with kobeVIII’s would be the lockdown compared to the nike jet flight which has a tpu cage + strap on the midfoot.
This looks like a mix of the two best Kobe Zooms ever: IV and VI
