Why would I block you for asking that? Sometimes there are differences between an overseas release vs a US release but knowing the differences are key to not being taken advantage of. The Kobe 8 GC that I showed are diff than the US release - outsole is solid rubber not clear & its XDR and a bit diff style of herringbone - but not all releases are diff, just some. Mostly the hoop shoes since they play outdoors in China more than we do here.
Man these look incredible. When Nike first announced the YOTS Kobe pack I thought the red swede looked the best,but after seeing more detailed pictures these are by far the best out of the pack. I can't wait to get my pair.
Yeah, initially I thought they would go straight to the MRI since its a better way to view everything but I went through like 3 or 4 diff X-Rays already and all came up inconclusive. Maybe they'll find something after the MRI tonight.
Good to know. I just dont know how long they'll last. 3 hours is great but I usually test shoes for 40+ hours. I can break a pair of kicks in 2 hrs depending on who I end up playing with... ala Jordan XX8. But Im glad they are working for you so far.
I have no clue and wondered the same thing. The All Star game Kobe 8 tech info said it was going to be zoom too. Maybe its true or maybe there were errors that werent caught.
I couldn't find any reviews for my red suede EXT's so I can give you my experience. I've just finished playing a little over 70 hours in them after buying them last month and they've held up just fine. The only thing I'd watch out for is stitching on the inside Nike check when you run. I'm 20, 6ft 175lb guard/slasher, a lot of cutting and change of directions for me and nothing has fallen apart. I made sure that the stitching & adhesive on the rubber sole were perfect before purchase.
Man those look sick! Love your videos dude your KD V performance video made 100% sure that those were the shoes I needed to play in and everything you said was right so thanks again man! Looking forward to your next couple of videos!
At 6:00 i thought the review was done, at 8:40 i was SURE the review was done but then i looked at the time and it said 14:46 Haha Good to hear that your wrist is feeling decent considering that you broke it. Best of luck with your MRI results and I along with all of your other subscribers REALLY appreciate all the hard work you've put into this channel, and your 2 websites. You've saved me money with your reviews and your videos are TOP NOTCH and among the best anywhere you look. Peace
I had wrist surgery in August, different issue, I had a cyst, but you're right, it is a complicated area. I'm just now getting back 100%, still a little sore when I ball.
@nightwing2303 I just wrapped up playing in these Kobe's and they held up pretty good. I'm 30 5 foot 9 217 and we played about 6 full court games for an elapsed time of about 3 hours. I understand your reasoning for not hoopin in them so I did for you these are my first time playin in Kobe's and low cut shoes in general and I have no real complaints.
nice to see adidas and ektio sending a gracious gesture. you've done a ton for nike and jordan it but it seems they are too busy to notice your hard work like the other two did.
they shouldn't do x-rays to start with when it comes to the hand. i fractured a bone in my hand but they couldn't tell which one and it took 3 months of precautionary casting till i got an mri to realize that it was an actual fracture.
When Nike first announced this shoe I was really excited for it, but I was not sure about the entire snake skin aspect to it because I thought it would look like a flaky mess, for the lack of a better term. So thank you for reassuring me that they aren't. They look much better on video (and I assume in person), than the stock photos I have seen online, or more accurately on the air-knight website. One question though, does the Kobe 8 fit true to size? Thanks
nice review as always. my fav cw for the kobe 8. i havent checked all ur reviews, but i was just wondering if u wear any other nike shoes such as lunargrand, flyknit, lunarglide, free runs?
Nightwing, I actually broke the same area. I went to get an xray but they took forever so I just left it just like your it healed it self. I broke it but didnt notice. It didn't hurt or anything
i ordered this same shoe at air-knight site but the only i got is an email with the order infos and status which pending there is no instructions on how to pay it.. need help pls..
Well...hopefully you'll get better, love your reviews,keepon dude, EKTIO found you, so the next step should be UnderArmour :D. Can't for the Jordan 28. I'm one of those that thinks they look dope :D
I got the D rose 3.5s years of the snakes and I love Nike. But the design and looks look a ton better than the kobe year of the snakes. Not hating. Thats just my opinion. I havent played in a pair of kobe 8s but I played in the D roses and I loved it.
only reason they don't is cause MRIs are pricey and they'd rather 'initially' save you money by trying to see it in something as basic as an x-ray. just don't get a ct scan. those are awful.
Thanks for telling me air knight had then I got my south beaches from them and ordered my Kobe year of the snakes on Sunday they should be here tomorrow
I like the whole idea of the black Mamba but in my opinion Nike takes it way to far for my likeing they put too many scale thigys on the shoe but i do like how they have the socks that finish the design

That info on the leather process is why you are the king of sneaker reviews on youtube. Great stuff.

Done, thanks!
When he said "when i open up the box, i was like Damn." I laughed when he said damn for some reason :)
I have no clue and wondered the same thing. The All Star game Kobe 8 tech info said it was going to be zoom too. Maybe its true or maybe there were errors that werent caught.
Ive gotten the Rose 3 and the latest Ektio provided by the brand so far.
yes nightwing! documentaries are just amazing, even more respect for you now!

those are so ni-ice.
they look similar to the 6s I nikeid couple yrs ago. i wanted another pair of my 6s; now im thinking them right there.
I think the term you might be looking for is a Bonded Leather, i could be wrong though. That''s how Office "leather" chairs are made.
Dope pick up glad Kobe makin that sneaker crown this year more interesting
the kobes this year is just straight fireee! did u see the all star pair? effing beautiful man
I had wrist surgery in August, different issue, I had a cyst, but you're right, it is a complicated area. I'm just now getting back 100%, still a little sore when I ball.

rest up nightwing! we need you for reviews! doesnt matter if you take a hiatus. take care! stay healthy -greetings from NY.
Thank you, I was wanting to know about that! how would you say the cushioning is holding up? would you say it has bottomed out at all?
i like all the videos you posted awesome reviews learning so much keep it up
And now the 28's FROM JORDAN BRAND! YOU THE MAN!
my gahd, now these are a beautiful pair of shoes. instant cop. MUST. great review night wing!
Love your dedication to the channel dude! I appreciate what you do very much. But heal your wrist first, health is important forreal
those are craaaaaaazy man!! if they release stateside, Im def picking em up! dope video dude!
Hope all is well. Your reviews are great.
Props nightwing. You really deserve it.
Thanks for the transparency.
Hope you feel better and keep making the vids
Thats awesome to know how these are made. Good review!
thank you
nice to see adidas and ektio sending a gracious gesture. you've done a ton for nike and jordan it but it seems they are too busy to notice your hard work like the other two did.
i think it would've been pretty dope if they had the scale thingy making the snake around his logo. if that make sense haha
they shouldn't do x-rays to start with when it comes to the hand. i fractured a bone in my hand but they couldn't tell which one and it took 3 months of precautionary casting till i got an mri to realize that it was an actual fracture.
get better dude, i love ur performance reveiws, so try to rest and dont make it worst
House of Hoops usually has the "exclusive shit". March 9th the HOH will have these kobe VIII. Check footlocker to see where a HOH is located in LA.
These look way better on feet. I might get'em after seeing them on feet. Thanks for the video.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🐍2️⃣4️⃣♾️8️⃣ Kobe 🫡
They reminded me of Kobe 6s at first sight.
i love your shoe reviews they are great, thank you ... hopefully you feel better with hand =D
@bunnywade jl yes they are adizero crazy lights I think they are sold out. They have diffrent colored ones for adizero crazy lights 2
Hey dude, i live in HK and the quality of shoes is really high. Also they release super super quickly lol
I'm guessing those are part of the Nike Basketball Casual series. They definitely are awesome but don't looks designed to ball in
nice review as always. my fav cw for the kobe 8. i havent checked all ur reviews, but i was just wondering if u wear any other nike shoes such as lunargrand, flyknit, lunarglide, free runs?
LOL love the ikea reference bro , loving the YOTS .
Get well and hope MRI comes out negative!
they actually look real nice on feet
Lolz at when he started smacking the metal lace tips together.
I'll definitely be grabbing these soon.
Nightwing, I actually broke the same area.
I went to get an xray but they took forever so I just left it just like your it healed it self. I broke it but didnt notice. It didn't hurt or anything
Those are AMAZING. Have they released yet?
@WearTesters i truly appreciate the content. Especially the on geet @ the end, with the Baggy Daddys jeans lmao 🤣
They are beautiful.
lol, "dayumn" long time not commenting but still putting out great work nightwing keep it up
I usually like the kobe 8, i LOVE the red and purple suede pair i saw
i ordered this same shoe at air-knight site but the only i got is an email with the order infos and status which pending there is no instructions on how to pay it.. need help pls..
Those are so dope!
Damn hope all goes well with the wrist injury. But I gotta admit, I'm not feeling the all black upper...
Why didnt you talk about the back heel? It looks like the Snake EXT's dont have that carbon plate like the other Kobe's
Where can i find these? These are the best looking kobe 8s in my opinion and i reallllllly want them
Great video man, you think you can do a performance review for the Hyperdunk low's?
Why is it called the Zoom Kobe 8 if it's a lunarlon drop in midsole? These release March 9 in the US.
Well...hopefully you'll get better, love your reviews,keepon dude, EKTIO found you, so the next step should be UnderArmour :D. Can't for the Jordan 28. I'm one of those that thinks they look dope :D
Thanks boss, appreciate it!
Is there flywire on the black year of the snake ones? And I hope your hand heals up quick man!
Good theme for the shoes !
Best of luck to your hand/wrist!
Dude your the shit I love your reviews lol
I got the D rose 3.5s years of the snakes and I love Nike. But the design and looks look a ton better than the kobe year of the snakes. Not hating. Thats just my opinion. I havent played in a pair of kobe 8s but I played in the D roses and I loved it.
Are you going to be getting a KD 5 Black history month, because they look really good for $135
only reason they don't is cause MRIs are pricey and they'd rather 'initially' save you money by trying to see it in something as basic as an x-ray. just don't get a ct scan. those are awful.
certainly a head turner when balling..
These look better on display than on feet. The blue soles look black when you're wearing them
just purchase them on air knight tooooo in a sz12!cant wait to get them !!
Thanks for telling me air knight had then I got my south beaches from them and ordered my Kobe year of the snakes on Sunday they should be here tomorrow
So, in the back i noticed the heel "cup" was just a plain material, do you think the heel lock down will perform just as well as a harder plastic?
air-knight doesnt have them? where can i get them iknow they were supposed to drop on saturday
airknight sold out! i need a place to buy these
Nice vid man
Hey NightWIng, I love this shoe but is debatng whether to get them or not.. cuz i can but not sure.. if u didnt have them would u cop or pass..
Great review
Hey nightwing, in your opinion, for a guard, kobe 8 or cp3.VI, for the more comfortable and supporting shoe
where do I buy these?! This is the only shoe I want in the world.
What does the EXT stand for? im very curious
nice vid
Why is there 3 lines on the upper heal on some Kobe's and 2 on others?
Where do you get all of your kobe 8 shoes like the christmas GC ones you got and this one.
According to Nike's twitter, it means Extension
You think these will stay on the shelfs
Hey chris i tried to order the same shoe and they just game me a printable copy of the order i made with no way how to pay it? Ple help me with this:(
No info on US release date ?
When will these release in the US?
Hey, could u tell where to buy nice shoes like this online besides air knight?
I like these. Wish they were matte tho. Pretty shiny
I like the whole idea of the black Mamba but in my opinion Nike takes it way to far for my likeing they put too many scale thigys on the shoe but i do like how they have the socks that finish the design
damn these are dope AF!
Does anyone know when the cement red 3's with Nike air in the back will release? Please answer
TALKIN BOUT THE SHOES HOMIE
Is there any type of zoom cushioning in it? Since the box says Nike Zoom
