Nike Kobe 8 detailed review

One of the best Nike Kobe versions of Kobe shoes in general and basketball shoes in particular.

I. Design, Material

Evaluate:

• Elegant low-neck design
• Light and very light, soft material

With an extremely elegant and beautiful low-neck design that is different from other pit basketball shoes, when worn on the feet, Nike Kobe 8 is fully capable of satisfying any aesthetically demanding baller.

In terms of materials, the mesh fabric is very impressive at first, but looks quite disgusting for players who often flip shirts and do not like low-neck shoes. However, Kobe 8 has very solid Fuse parts around the shoe, not only to make the shoe lighter (One of the lightest Nike basketball shoes ever seen, around 272 grams) but also increase more on the ability to support players, making the shoe more solid.

II. Hugging / Fit & Comfort

Evaluate:

• Fit the right size
• Perfect lockdown
• Extremely comfortable

Kobe 8 fit right size. If you buy directly at the store, try the correct size or down to half the size of the room if your feet are a bit out of place.

When you get your feet pierced, you’ll see the difference. Kobe 8’s Lockdown really hits perfection. The shoes fit snugly and offer unbelievable comfort. The tongue of Kobe 8 is quite thin, but it is designed with a cushion under the tongue, which helps to tie the midsole (upper half) comfortably into the soles of the feet. I have a habit of tying my shoelaces tightly and always feel pain and discomfort when wearing hard shoes like Rose Menace 2, but with Kobe 8, it’s all just comfort and smoothness with perfect fit. !

III. Adhesion

Evaluate:

• Owning one of the best soles in the Kobe basketball shoe line
• The soleplate is quite fragile when playing outdoors

The combined herringbone Herringbone sole, one of the legendary sole designs, is a personal sole that I consider the best in Kobe shoes! Soft herringbone rubber sole is capable of tightly biting indoor yard floors regardless of conditions. In addition, the dust resistance of Kobe 8 also makes me extremely satisfied, a gentle hand wiping is more than enough even with the dust field.

If you bring Kobe 8 to play outdoors, the version will need the XDR (a more durable design for outdoor play), concrete grounds like Hanoi Y or Transportation will quickly blow the masterpiece. the bottom of your shoe.

IV. Buffer / Cushioning

Evaluate:

• Lunarlon cushioning is super smooth

Lunarlon is a well-known cushion for smoothness that later succumbs to overpowering rival Boost. Made from a soft foam like marshmallows, Lunarlon is a buffer that designers believe to use on older versions of Nike Kobe or Hyperdunk.

Personally, I am a player who loves smooth shoes so I give a lot of love to KD 9 or Boost. The first time you enter Kobe 8, you will feel like this is a running shoe rather than a basketball, smooth like walking on a pillow. Designed to maintain athlete’s endurance through flexibility, the Lunarlon cushioning is an impossible choice on the Nike Kobe 8.

V. Support

Evaluate:

The ability to support mostly comes from the first fit. Regarding Nike Kobe 8, the foot hug combines very smoothly with smooth comfort and good grip, and you can play ball extremely confidently. Thanks to the Fit, the feeling of being afraid to flip is also significantly reduced.

Let’s go to the conclusion

BECAUSE. Conclude

Pros:

• Great hug
• Great lockdown
• Excellent base with excellent grip
• Excellent buffer, super smooth
• Deserve a masterpiece in the Kobe series

Cons:

• Expensive
• Not suitable for outdoor play
• Difficult to feel the feedback

Nike Kobe 8 is the most comfortable, best shoe I’ve ever worn. So why is it difficult for me to feel the response in my comment?

This is just my personal opinion. I really like shoes with high smoothness, so I always look for KD or LeBron shoes (Boost is another level). When I first got my feet pierced (I bought 2hand so I broke in) and did a few running moves, Kobe 8 made me extremely comfortable, extremely smooth and soft but fit very well. However, it seems the shoes are .. overly comfortable ?? (My opinion), so I miss a couple of hard ones like Hyperdunk, although it is not smooth, but the sensitivity and response are extremely high. Sounds pretty abstract, but can be explained almost like the ability to support the zoom of Zoom. Some players also commented that Kobe 8 lacked Responsive, I personally think it might be due to the excessive smoothness of the shoes.
