Will buy if it comes in a single color without patches, it does look nice though and nice to see then sticking with the low tops.

Lightweight with Superior Traction is what should be expected as usual for Kobe's line.
As for the ankle support even with the "Attack Strong" Insoles ,
not too sure it's gonna be enough for me.
Last years Kobe's still had me doubtful as I ended up going back
to the regular brace for peace of mind.
Loving the new look nonetheless
Especially the back heel with his trademark Kill Bill logo.

His shoes will never look as good as some J's, but he makes up for it with the innovation and technology. I might have to get a pair since it's one of his better looking shoes.

The technology part sounds good, but the shoes are not good looking.

Look nice but one color would make it look much better.
Still a fan of the Zoom 2

I didn't like the ZK7's but this color scheme is a world apart:

Most likely will cop a pair with the attack strong insert.
The 7's felt really flat and were hot as hell, especially with a brace or the attack insert.
I hope the 8's feel and fit more like the 6's or 4's (my two favorite Kobe's), I am going to try before I buy.
I am a huge Kobe sneakerhead and will always remember his kicks for their innovation.

I definitely prefer the sleek look of Kobe's shoes. They look like soccer cleats or track shoes. Basketball shoes in general are not good looking in my opinion, too bulky and clunky.

i agree somewhat. i like the look of certain basketball shoes, but soccer cleats to me have always looked aesthetically better.
