Thanks, I'll be able to complete these and the KD V Elite quickly since Ive played in the original versions. I want to try to complete the Crazyquicks first though.
Really interested to hear your comparison of these to the regular version. I've always been a fan of zoom air, so I'm curious to hear your view on the zoom air bags vs lunarlon in the kb8
Love your videos and especially your performance review. I bought a pair Melo M8 advance it was the best pair of basketball shoes I have worn since my Air Jordon 13 in high school and that was 10 years ago. For years I been having heel pain its gone with the Melo M8's awesome cushions Keep up the good work and stay healthy and injury free, And thank you for helping to make my selection of what shoe to buy so much clearer. Cheers
I dunno, things like that are hard to explain. Its like asking a guy why he prefers blonds over brunets... just something about the Kobe 8 that I like a lot vs the M9. I dont dislike the M9 at all and there are colorways that I love but Id wear the Kobe 8 over the M9 most of the time.
man, I like to watch your videos coz unlike the others, yours are not biased. Really want to see your review on Lebron X p.s. elite. Thank you very much.
Hey nightwing just wondering if you do videos about different shoes for different positions, sorry to ask if you already have, still kinda new to your channel, but other then that great job on all the reviews man, really cool stuff.
I think the padded tongue makes it alittle heavier. but I guess you get something out of it and that's extra padding. I could feel they weighed more just by having them both in hand when I brought them home.
i dont understand y they dont just go with the lunar+zoom, it would be more comfortable... and flywire would probably be better if it was more towards the mid foot area...
He does reviews on shoes that are intended for different positions and he will say in those reviews if that shoe is suited for his style of play or more suited to bigger players
as usual awesome vid nightwing! I'm from the Philippines and im hoping to get the KD V elite that you got, im just waiting for the performance review from you! Keep it up!
Man I've always thought about this! I get blisters and sore feet where the sprigs are. Cleats need better cushioning IMO. I guess its just cause they are used on grass/turf that fact is overlooked
Depends if you want to be fast or jump higher, if you want to be fast then get the Kobe 8. If you want to jump a bit higher, get the LeBron X. Also if you have weak ankles, I'd get the LeBron X because they're high tops.
I was on finishline and they have both the lebron and kdv pack but i didnt see the kobe...coming out after the elites i think just kinda takes it away...i like the kdv 1st, lebron, then kobes cw wise...im still debating on if i want the kdv elites or superheros...good vid
Hey nightwing ! i was wondering if the lunarlon cushoning with the regular kobe could be switched and placed into the elites incase you did not like the zoom air set up ???
Really great video. I have about 5 pairs of Kobe 8 and I wanted to know the difference between to the two. All of my questions answered. Oh and I wanted a closer view of the inside design . But not a problem. Thanks
Thanks!But even though I use them everyday outdoors/streetball,will they still be durable?I'm thinking if I buy them and use them everyday maybe they'll tear fast.
that's not exactly what I meant. I was saying more like how would you compare the two? How is the Kobe 8 more attractive to you than the Melo M9 in your opinion?
Great review man! I like my baseball spikes to fit really snug too. I just don't like feeling space in my toes while playing I guess haha. Thanks for showing us these. Peace
I thought Size 9 Regular Kobe 8's were 9.6 ounces. The Size 9.5 Easters weigh 9.3 ounces so I guess, the regular Kobe's are now the lightest basketball shoes. Well, imo though.
Is it okay to wear ankle braces with these shoes cuz I want to try these but i don't want to sprain my ankle cuz they're low tops and low top usually don't have good ankle support
Its to keep the foot onto the footbed. They took the same idea that bridge cables have for providing support even during movement/ wind.
Its for lateral movements when placed at the toe like this.
Thanks, I'll be able to complete these and the KD V Elite quickly since Ive played in the original versions. I want to try to complete the Crazyquicks first though.
Kobe 8 in general, AJXX8 for hoops.
Theyre the Xmas colorway and he doesnt want to get rid of them bc he wont be able to get them back for retail.
Really interested to hear your comparison of these to the regular version. I've always been a fan of zoom air, so I'm curious to hear your view on the zoom air bags vs lunarlon in the kb8
Literally been waiting all day to see if you would upload a video.
Watch out for cable slashers" lmao good vid as always man. Can't wait to get these and the reg version to ball in!
Thanks! Snug fit just feels better for me, cant explain it lol.
Love your videos and especially your performance review.

Thats your fav then, nothing wrong with your choice being diff than mine.
Lol "Not this time " haha love that dry sense of humor NW , keep EM coming !
This is my favorite in the elite series
My Kobes broke the same way as your friend's, it sucks, defiantly gonna try to get these to replace them.
it's flywire it supports key points on the shoe where it's needed
Hey Nightwing,from now on you should weight in all your performance shoes just like you in that video. keep up the good work man .
man, I like to watch your videos coz unlike the others, yours are not biased. Really want to see your review on Lebron X p.s. elite. Thank you very much.
Do you know anything about the "n7" colorway? I know its not really an N7 at this point but the colorway is FRESH

i dont understand y they dont just go with the lunar+zoom, it would be more comfortable... and flywire would probably be better if it was more towards the mid foot area...
the padding and the kevlar probably add that extra weight
i wish kobe had the chance to wear these during the playoffs.. hope he bounce back in good shape next season..
That price was def a killer
He does reviews on shoes that are intended for different positions and he will say in those reviews if that shoe is suited for his style of play or more suited to bigger players
Hahaha "Not this time" just found that funny towards the end. Good review.
After your performance review, I want to know if you feel the upgrades they've done to the regular Kobe 8's (and the KD V) warrant the price.
If someone were to get the whole Nike Superhero collection, and you were to sell it later do you think the price would go up?
Where do you get your shoes from? Where do you recommend I get bball shoes from? I live in Australia.
Would you recommend inserting a Kobe midsole zoom air unit into a football cleat? Thanks- Roberto.
why not the melo m9? I thought those were not only impressive, but perhaps one of the best so far, if not D best
nightwing whats ur fav colorway for the way of wades? love your vids man keep it up!
as usual awesome vid nightwing! I'm from the Philippines and im hoping to get the KD V elite that you got, im just waiting for the performance review from you! Keep it up!
i'm a shooting guard and i'm worried about ankle support. Is a big concern when your wearing these?
The weight part was awesome!
Man I've always thought about this! I get blisters and sore feet where the sprigs are. Cleats need better cushioning IMO. I guess its just cause they are used on grass/turf that fact is overlooked
Depends if you want to be fast or jump higher, if you want to be fast then get the Kobe 8. If you want to jump a bit higher, get the LeBron X. Also if you have weak ankles, I'd get the LeBron X because they're high tops.
I was on finishline and they have both the lebron and kdv pack but i didnt see the kobe...coming out after the elites i think just kinda takes it away...i like the kdv 1st, lebron, then kobes cw wise...im still debating on if i want the kdv elites or superheros...good vid
I've always wondered why they put Kevlar in the laces! Thanks for explaining it lol
@nightwing great review your always on point. When are you going to hoop in them?
I watch ur videos every day bro keep it up!!!
Man makes me think about weighing my shoes again in my reviews, but not sure how much it matters to people lol.
yeah it makes the shoe conform better then just the mesh alone
@nightwing - I just heard about the new kobe 8 mambacurial & I was wondering do you know where I could pre-order some.?
i understand u wanted the shoe to performance review it but why didnt u just get the black and gold colorway if u dont like this one?
Are you gonna do an on-feet video for these?
Thanks. When is the lebron one coming?
Nightwing my pair after about a couple weeks of playing basketball the inside foot ripped on me.
Hey nightwing ! i was wondering if the lunarlon cushoning with the regular kobe could be switched and placed into the elites incase you did not like the zoom air set up ???
because the black and gold one doesn't come out until June 1st
do you think that flywire will serve any actual purpose? i dont see why it would help in that area of the shoe
These or pure platinums? I can't decide because i llove em both!
This is lowkey the best kobe of them all
Dope vid!!!
Really great video. I have about 5 pairs of Kobe 8 and I wanted to know the difference between to the two. All of my questions answered. Oh and I wanted a closer view of the inside design . But not a problem. Thanks
Thanks!But even though I use them everyday outdoors/streetball,will they still be durable?I'm thinking if I buy them and use them everyday maybe they'll tear fast.
i never understood the point of the flywire, is it just to make the shoe fit tighter?
that's not exactly what I meant. I was saying more like how would you compare the two? How is the Kobe 8 more attractive to you than the Melo M9 in your opinion?
I NEED those!
look forward to the performance test!
You should do a review on the LeBron X lows.
just the color
What city do you live? in I think I saw you at house of hoops in miami.
Great review man! I like my baseball spikes to fit really snug too. I just don't like feeling space in my toes while playing I guess haha. Thanks for showing us these. Peace
ummm im not a shoe expert but wats with the strings on the side anyways? even on the hyperdunks?
When did you get a scale? You pushin' dope?
lol i do the little "ohh" thing when trying to imitate other people
Nightwing what is your favorite shoe so far of this year
Night wing I'm confused the orthotic version of kobe 8 is with zoom air? is it?
Are the Kobe 8 and Lebron X good for outdoors?If yes/no,what shoes should I get?Thanks!
broke a lot of necks on and off court with these yesterday.
Hey nightwing, I just traded for a few used shoes can you lead me in the direction where I could buy shoe laces for specific shoes. Thanks!
hey nightwing are you familiar with sneakheat?
Can you do a video with KickGenius? If you can't, that's okay.
I thought Size 9 Regular Kobe 8's were 9.6 ounces. The Size 9.5 Easters weigh 9.3 ounces so I guess, the regular Kobe's are now the lightest basketball shoes. Well, imo though.
"watch out for cable slashers" LOLOLLOL nightwing got jokes!

nightwing, what guard shoe has the softest cushioning in your opinion

Tryin to find these in size 15... its a struggle...
Is it okay to wear ankle braces with these shoes cuz I want to try these but i don't want to sprain my ankle cuz they're low tops and low top usually don't have good ankle support
thanks!
