Want more images of the upcoming Kobe VIII?
Take a look as one of the midsole options is Lunarlon!
I’m officially excited…
Nike Zoom Challenge PB Performance Review
The Nike Zoom Challenge PB, a takedown of the recently released Nike Zoom GP Challenge 1 court shoe,…
Are the real kobe 8??
when they will be relasd?
Do you think I could get these if I have orthotics cause inthe Kobe vii I couldn’t due to my foot resting so heigh up and an extremely tight fit
these are actually looking good
great breathability, and the material looks incredibly comfortable and light
this will be an upgrade compared to the last model where “low and light” was not aparent, as they were one of nikes heavier shoes
get these below the 11oz mark and theyve got a winner
(as long as the traction ect holds up 😉 )
these got me very excited its everything i want in a basketball shoe!!
i think this’ll come with zoom air and lunarlon cushion just like the aj2011.
nice but i still think they’re ugly as far as design. lol
yes, i hope some colourways come out with a clean upper
ugh, more lunarlon and modularity.
more zoom, less interchangeable parts plz
i never like Kobe series… but if they come with Lunarlon, i dun mind getting a pair. =)
btw any1 bottom-up their lunarlon shoe yet? FlyWade2/EV, Superfly, Hypergamer, Hdunk2012 etc?
I’ve worn the Fly wade 2 ev for 5 months now, and the lunarlon is still as cushy and responsive as ever, much better than my experience with the kobe 4s, where the lunar foam just bottomed out after 3 months.
i think in terms of increasing longevity of lunar foam nike has nailed it with lunarlon.
lunarlon is huge plus for me. now i cant wait to see how it feels on feet!
seriously, i was so excited about how kobe viii would be. now it turns out become this ugly looking shoes with stupid Lunarlon. where is the FXXXX zoom??!!!! I hope the final version could be much better that this in any aspet.
Dude it’s a system! you can choose if you want Lunarlon or Zoom Air.
Would be nice if they had a Lunarlon insole along with embedded zoom units in the midsole.
I just don’t know if that little insert would be enough to hold up on the court. The sole doesn’t look very thick to begin with.
Guys, this is so obvious, there was no cushion technology branding on the outside of the shoe itself, making it clear that there would be an interchangable system resembling that of the last AJ.
I think going with Lunarlon is excellent and the shoe is shaping up to be a great performer. And the upper seems to be doing away with the stiffness of the Kobe 7 which was a blocky, unusable shoe imo. Esthetically, it looks pathetic. Heel racing stripes? What is this, your dad’s old Camaro?!
Really looking forward to this shoe. Lunarlon on a Kobe shoe, very nice!!!!
I don’t understand this lunarlon hate thing.
It’s not a bad cushioning system at all. I personnally prefer lunarlon to zoom.(or foam-based>air based in general)
