@@JeremyJonesNeverFold Thank you sir 🫡
@@JeremyJonesNeverFold😂😂😂
Thank you for putting in the effort to revisit these shoes man. We miss the old videos and this is an amazing way to bring those back in a way. Appreciate you always homie.
That's love brodie!
Means more than you know fr. We work hard to make these!
I remember waking up in 2011 waiting for yall to drop knowledge on some hoop kicks. I modeled my shooting and dribbling after Tre and my attacking and mid range from you Jay. For me it started with the KD 4 and I’ve been here ever since. Keep grinding and thru the adversity, keep your head high. Love from an OG fan 💯
Brings back memories first sneaker review I ever saw from kickgenius was the Kobe 8.
You an OG then!
Appreciate you brodie!
Bringing back so much nostalgia with this. I’d say Kobe 9 was the best. Nothing could beat that traction
9 elite low gotta be my fav hoop shoes
Hyeprdunk 2017. Kinda similar traction pattern.
Classics no doubt bro
I really miss the 8's I still have the Barcelona's but they're pretty beat up now. Feels nice seeing your pairs still fresh after 10 years... Really hope the protro these. Especially the MilkSnakes and Sulfurs
I am praying for the same brodie!
Appreciate your support fr
@@JeremyJonesNeverFoldthey are protro ing them on I think 8/24 for kobe day
@@JeremyJonesNeverFoldand more colorways will come out throughout
Bro plz bring back all the old videos, been watching since 2013, was up all night and was going on a nostalgia run, would be nice to watch them all again
This takes me way back. Thank you for this 🙏🏽
Yessir brodie! That was the goal!
Appreciate you!
Gotta love the transparency.
Although the views got slow just know you will never fold.
We working brodie!
Putting our head down and working!
@@JeremyJonesNeverFold me and you both. Really behind the scenes right now but everything will show when its supposed to.
Man so good to see an actual performance review. Your efforts are appreciated.
Nostalgia hitting strong, I remember the Kobe 8 performance test and Nike elite series performance tests way back then with KG! Unfortunately I gotta resort to reps if I want to hoop in the Kobe 8 😅. Real question though, Kobe 6 protro or Kobe 8?
Ngl that’s a tough one. The protro 6 was perfect shoe for me personally, but I got too many memories with the Kobe 8s. I would give the slight edge to the Protro
I just ordered some reps
@@shotbynini1487 Kickwho? I ordered myself some kickwho 6s
TOUGH one bro... TOUGH one... Them 6 protro crazyyy doe
Great content from the editing, sound and of course the review!
Thank you brodie! Means a lot!
bringing back 2013 like it was yesterday with the kobe 8's! way ahead of its time! get that ten wayback 2013 and get that 10 this 2023! BUCKETS!!! SO NICE REVIEW BRODIE! #mambaforever
Yesssirrr brodie!
Appreciate you!! #MambaForever
These were my favorite hoop shoes ever. I'm glad they're protroing them. Early pics of the protro's also looks like they made improvements, specifically to the tongue. It looks to be a padded tongue now, instead of just the thin fuse tongue back then.
I super hyped as well bro!
MIGHT have to run the performance test back to back 😂
@@JeremyJonesNeverFold Please do, you're the best sneaker performance reviewer out there! 🐐🙌
You are THE BEST J. Jones!! Thank you for recreate this type of videos like the old days
You are the GOAT bro! And thank you fr
I haven’t booped seriously since highschool but the Kobe 8 was always hands down my favorite hoop shoe. The Kobe 9 low and the Kobe 8 are the two best all time hoop shoes imo 💪🏽💪🏽
Those are two classics no doubt brodie! Get back to hoopin doe!
So much nostalgia.. watched yall as a kid mane… hope life is good. Just picked up the Venice beaches and have been watching old reviews etc
classic shoe, classic review, classic man jay jones !
You the GOAT bro
Great timing with this video. I wish the shoe was coming out before I start my school semester, but August 24th is coming up! So we will have a protro of these and potentially a re-release of the other models as well.
Praying on that bro!
The culture needs it!
Kobe 8 brings back so many memories, definitely one of the best Kobe's in my opinion. #mambaforever
Kobe 8 best performing shoes. So good I have a prelude and 2 wtk in my stash with a dash of purple gradient
Facts brodie!
Keep ‘em Coming bro.. definitely needed.. I jus got pair of 8s and was lookin for reviews..
We locked in brodie!
Hopefully the review helped a bit!
idk why I thought of this but if someone needs to hear it then here. Sometimes you needa walk away from something you love for a time to realize how much you love it. I did that with basketball and now I love it more than I ever have before
Kobe 8 elites fire! With the Nike zoom air in the drop in insole. One of the best hoop shoes to drop. Excited for the white Kobe’s to drop🎉🎉
Yessir brodie! GOATed
BEST KOBE EVER!
Lowkeyyyyyy!
Facts!
Kobe 9 and I have lots of both.
@@TLEE1977nah bro real hoopers know the 8 is the real goat.
@@D3L3T3 nope I have 3 pairs of Kobe 8s and the Kobe 9 was definitely an improvement. Kobe 9 is probably greatest traction of all time. I would take Kobe 9 low elite or engineered mesh over Kobe 8.
This the model that really put me on to Kobes, fire vid as always!!
These changed the game fr bro! And thank you brodie! Means a lot!
Appreciate you bro I’ve been looking forward to this video for a min. You’r a real one for remaking it. Next u should do either the kd 6 or the long awaited shoe collection vid ☝️
I had the shoe collection vid up too lol
Looks like u got some heat in the background
Woaaaah This Takes me Back ❤️
Thank you for this Vid 💪❤️
That was the goal fam!
Appreciate you!
The nostalgia in this performance test is crazy. I’m bouta be emotional
This gets to 2.5K likes and you might tear up brodie 😂

Yo Jay. Always gonna check in on the vids jerk! Dont matter if its kg. House, whatever you do I'm rockin with it NeverFold! That tracksuit pure heat too! Ima have to pullup to arkansas again just to say whats up. 💪🏾🙏🏾
You are the GOAT fr bro.

Thats super dope bro!
Ive taken care of my Kobe 8s as well! Loved them too much!
My boi kept it Real🔥🏁
If you were really moving like that you know these were 🔥
We need that lebron 11 performance Again. If you Know you Know!!!!! One of the best vids you dropped Jay Jones!!
Thats love brodie! Means a lot fr!
This gets 2.5K likes and ill make it happen
Yurrrrrrrrrrr W review. Definitely brings back memories man
Appreciate you brodie!
“Y’all remember WIZ KHALIFA?!” 😭😭😭😂
Great video. I'm still partial to Kobe 10 Multicolor Flyknits, and Kobe 4s as my second favorite Kobe.
Could you review the two way v3 from new balance
If this performs well ill try make it happen brodie
Surprisingly none of your Kobe’s have any separation. I own a bunch of Kobe 8s but unfortunately many of them are separating smh. Btw keep doing what you do. Much Love, from a day one day one fan!!! Stay Bless
Naaah the culture needed this!!! 🐐
Appreciate you brodie!
Been watching since Kick Genius in 2014 🔥
Love this throwback but sorta like a dose it still hoop performance test from a legit hooper plz more content like this
Thats love brodie! Appreciate you!
This gets 2.5K likes and ill 100% make more classic performance tests
Jay if u keep this performance review stuff you’ll take over it. You give the best insight
That truly means more than you know brodie!
Views are constantly low so we lose motivation but stuff like this helps big time bro
@@JeremyJonesNeverFold you know the JERKS riding with you!
brought back real memories 🫡
Yesssir bro!
Kobe 4 and 5 for me. But the new folks love the 8 which I love as well. The kobe line is so great that there really isn't a bad choice other than the Kobe 7 lol.
5 will forever be top 5 kick ever to me bro
We support you Jay
You the GOAT bro
Man, this video is nostalgic. I watched your review with Kobe 8 when you were still KickGenius and I still can't afford the kobe 8's back in the day.
Protros are out soon bro! Its your time!
@@JeremyJonesNeverFold i hope i have money to buy one, they cost way too much for me.
I got a pair of kobe 8's a few yrs back..swapped out the midsole for a lebron 11 full length zoom drop in...amazing
J Jones collection of 8's is so firee. Sulfur colorway is too nice. Need em
Appreciate you bro!
supp brooo, its still me watching your kobe shoes content 10 years ago
Best shoe ever hands down. If they drop old pairs I’m copping all of em!!
“That’s a whole snake on the top of that”😂😂
Kobe 8 colorways are unmatched to this day imo
FACTS
Great review.
I feel that way about the lebron 20s
Closest interms of looks, performance to a kobe. Copping as much colorways I can. Vanessa renewed the contract but with the resale market you can't get pair for retail or a reasonable price. That's why I'm going ham on these 20s.
GREAT idea bro.
These 20s will hold their own for a LONGGG time bro
You smart brother! You know what you doing 🫡
?? I do? Lol
@@JeremyJonesNeverFold Yes twin lmao drop the Kobe 8 Performance test before the Kobe 8 Protro with that react midsole! 😮💨
@@3ray1onhaha oh I got you! I’m probably not getting those 🤦🏽♂️
Definitely the best Kobe shoe ever, but i vividly remember rolling my ankle so bad in my pair
The streets needed this
We locked in bro!
The *best* Kobe shoe ever and that BHM colorway is the *best* one for the 8s imo 👌
You got the 8s over the 5s bro?
@@JeremyJonesNeverFold Yessir! First Kobe’s I ever got. Plus, first performance test I ever watched 🔥
Ok I legit stopped at the python colorway I said please don’t let this man switch into another colorway of my favorite shoe, and then he switches to my favorite joints, the pythons 🐍. It was at this moment I had realized that I was going to hate on this man not because it’s in my nature to hate but because I only have two colorways of the Kobe 8 systems. Yes I am ashamed to say I was going to hate on him so hard until he knew what it was like to own only two pairs of my favorite shoe. As a great character from one of the funniest shows ever to be aired name thug nasty would say “I’ll hate on ***** until he ain’t got S*** just like me”
😂😂😂
Ok seriously tho one of my favorite videos of all time by you J, obviously I love the kicks 👟 🖤🔥
😂 😂 😂 You are the GOAT bro not gonna lie
Kobe 8 is one of my favs. still have the og Kobe 8 blue glow, easter and the 8 elite superhero. 👌🏻 🔥
Thats super tough brodie!
"IF YOU WEAR THAT 10, JUST GET THAT 10" never gets old man
Yesssir brodie! Appreciate you!
KOBE 9!!!
Man those kobes tough😎 much love
Much love brodie!
I need the red for sure!
They go crazy fr brodie
Definitely wanna see the Jordan 29 review and M12 and bred 11s kobe 9s and if you still got em the hyperdunks 2013 thru 14
OG JAY JONES ✊🏾💪🏾!!
We heree brodie!
Hi Jeremy - following you for probably 7 Years of more already - but I've got one question
what Camera / Lense are you using for that damn awesome on Court footage?
Keep doing what ya do !
W music choicesss
Appreciate you bro!
Wondering if you notice if the pythons were heavier than the other originals? I’m trying to buy some used ones to hoop in but the balance scale showing it’s heavier than the other originals
J.Jones kobe bag still as deep as ever
😂 😂 my guy
This is an older vid but bro could you review the xx9 sometime again? 🙏🏽❤️
I remember when I bought this ones with a huge discount back in 2013 and was so exited and... rolled my ankle in the first game 😅😅😅 but since then it never happen again and Kobe 8 became my favourite sneakers of all time
They are tooo elite brodie!
What color way did you get?
@@JeremyJonesNeverFold Blue Glow
LOWKEY FLEX 😍🔥🔥🔥
😂 😂 naaaah
Ofng folks got all the flavors 🔥🔥🔥 I wish these shits wasn’t so narrow I was tryna get some Kobe’s n 2019 n couldn’t get my foot n a 12 I ware a 11 damn 😭🤕
energy in videos unmatched 🐐
Thats love brodie! Appreciate you!
I missed those days 💔💔💔
Ur sneaker game is actually crazy
Appreciate that more than you know brodie!
Kobe 8’s are a jay jones classic
😂 😂 my guy
we need a road to windmill video tbhh
You might be waiting forever brodie lol
The Vegeta Majin Cut was crazy!
Appreciate you bro
@@JeremyJonesNeverFold of course! Bro definitely should do some more men’s league videos! No cap definitely the most entertaining at least for me
J-Jones is GOAT!
YOU are the GOAT bro
Easily best kobe ever. Brought back a lot of memories of KG with this video. You a goat Jay, but I’m hurt seeing how many kobe 8s you got that you don’t play in. 😂all mine are torn 10+ pairs. Can’t find another pair for a decent price
Naaah brodie! I rotate them!
I hoop in ALL just not as much 😂
and you pick them over the 5s?!
easily best kobe every with the 5s
Serious Player One shoes is the closest things to the Kobe8/9s got them in today and tested run them. Feels exactly the same. The default midsoles will fit in the Kobe8s but the support midsole will not.
Yes I still have my pair that I’ll slap on but I need another pair ASAP!
I hear that bro 😂
I loved hooping in the Kobe 8s back in the day...I did tear my ACL in them though and that was probably partially due to the lunar bottoming out. Could have also happened in any shoe though, was just something I noticed afterwards, pretty big dents in the toe areas
Damn brodie thats tuff...
Recovery 100% doe?!
In my personal opinion, the Kobe 6 is the greatest Kobe of all time. The insole even form fitted to your foot which is krazy!
Lowkeyyyy
hey man just curious are these wkb batches or retails? much love bro!
Nah brodie! Ive had them for yearsssss! Since they dropped
Would love to see a performance vid on the older kds like the 5s 6s or 7s
I promise you bro!
Videos like these get 2.5K likes and ill 100% make more classic performance tests
THE GOAT
You the GOAT bro
By far the best kobe ever also the best shoe I've ever hooped in fr
You think they are better than the 5s?
@JeremyJonesNeverFold yeah I do bro the 8s for me were dam near perfect
DEFINITELY THE BEST AND MY FAVORITE KOBE EVER 🙌🏾
Classics bro!
@@JeremyJonesNeverFold Can't wait for the Protro fs
Bro you should do a review on the Serious Player 1, they are very similar to Kobe 8s!
Imma need the white on white protros 8’s when they drop but I doubt imma get them not only is the supply most likely going to be limited but also I have to compete with resellers that buy multiple pairs just to resell them for 10x more than retail price
Resellers are really ruining the game bro
Aka jays favorite hoop shoe
Up there for sure bro 😂
Kobe 9 vid next 🐐
2.5K likes and ill 100% make it happen bro!
Anyone know what song is that second beat from? The one with Black History month black gray & Orange kicks 0:11
Kobe 9s are definitely Top1 😮💨
They have tough comp bro!
The 8s, the 5s and 6s...
These are my favorite hoop shoes of all time.
Up there for me as well brodie!
The 8s bring out the mamba in you
Always bro!
Clean team
My guy!
