Nike Zoom Kobe VIII
October 23rd, 2012 by Brendan Dunne | 26 comments

While the Nike LeBron X is currently available at retail and the Nike Zoom KD V was officially unveiled just hours ago, the Nike Zoom Kobe VIII looks to be lagging just a little in its release. Fortunately you can count on Sneaker News for plenty of previews before they’re officially announced, the latest here showing the Black Mamba leaning yellow on black pair. Click through with us to check out the latest pair of what appears to be the final version of the Nike Zoom Kobe VIII and let us know how you rank the latest wave of Big Three models from Nike Basketball.

I don't like low top kicks too much & I really just jumped on Kobe's with the 8 and though these aren't as strong as the previous releases off the line I think they are different and unique & will look nice on foot! I bet a laceswap will set these off... Black laces in Kobe's don't really do anything for me anyway.... Just my opinion!
it's almost a rip off of adidas' three striped heal.
@Big_Infinite speaking of rippin somethin off... dis fake fuck still postin comments as sum1 else I see LOL
@Da_Real_Big_Infinite @Big_Infinite
Hahahahaha. You got more points doo so I'd think you been reppin the name longer. But hes also got a chunk of points and it could be nobody was feelin what he was sayin when he started commenting. You guys need to duke it out with your collection. Show the world who the real OG Big Infinite is by having a Kicks showdown. This is the only way the community will endorse one of you over the other
@Big_Infinite u can have da same name as any1 on here u dumb muthafucka LOL... ur not only a fake, but a dumb retarded fake at dat lol
@Big_Infinite if u can prove who u are, then do so... we all are waiting u fraudulent character
@Da_Real_Big_Infinite @MartinD44 if you've had "big_infinite" 3 months before me, then how the hell do I have the username? you don't make sense.
@Da_Real_Big_Infinite @MartinD44 who cares about 15 years. 1. that means nothing since the amount over 15 years isn't disclosed. 2. the rate in which shoes are copped...not disclosed. 3. you could easily be collecting heels. 4. IT REALLY DOESN'T MEAN A THING since you can say anything and it doesn't make it anymore real. No more real than "da_real_big_infinite" Your fake....your comments are fake...your life is fake.
@MartinD44 I got 15 yrs of collectin shoes... so it wouldn even b a contest. Dats like a Jr high school offensive lineman tryin to block new York giants Justin Tuck lol
@Big_Infinite @MartinD44 too bad u can't prove who u really are like I can... and I've seen ur activation profile date... why is my activation 3 MONTHS b4 urs. Therefore I had da name 1st. And u have copied every pic I have posted on here.... and I can prove it. Can u???
@MartinD44 @Da_Real_Big_Infinite He's been more active, but I've had this name longer and he's been running his mouth like a chump because of it. He targets all of my posts and attempts to shake me down like I'm going to change "Big_Infinite" to something else. This dude is trash and a fraud who doesn't even make sense most of the time. If he really wants to be "Big_Infinite" he can paypal me since he's such a baller and I'll give him this livefyre handle.
I bet the drop a kobe v2, because I doubt people will waste there money on these.
Even though i'm a big fan of KB series but i'm sooo dissapointed with this design...especially the shoes's tongue !!!!!!!!
Looks like indoor soccer cleats to me
This is a terrible colorway to preview, but I will not sleep on these. Dope colorways are bound to come
I guess I'm in the minority here, but I think they're pretty dope.There's a lot you can do with them for sure.
@jigsaw2347 From what I see right here I have to agree
what the hell is this? Kobe has too many YES men on his team.
the KD's broke $100 this year and the Kobe's should be $95
waiting on some decent colourways before i make up my mind, like with the kd V, until nike officially announced them i wasnt feelin em
Yeah, Nike fell on their face with this one. I could've done a better job than this.
I don't necessarily hate them
Kobe's Signature Line has become so boring, WTF happened Nike?
Fail
