Twenty-three listings appeared in Flipkart's one8 brand store this week, from a Rs. 4,999 court classic to Rs. 13,999 cricket spikes. We read every product page and sorted the twenty distinct pairs by the job each one does.
Sometime between the toss and the first drinks break of a Saturday club game, most Indian cricket fans have wondered what a shoe with Virat Kohli's actual signature on it would cost. The answer arrived on Flipkart this week: Rs. 9,230 — one rupee for every Test run he retired with, stitched into red leather the colour of a season ball. The Seam XVIII Signature headlines a full one8 brand store that has gone live on the marketplace, with the banner announcing it "Only on Flipkart," and the rest of the rack behind it runs from a Rs. 4,999 court sneaker to Rs. 13,999 match spikes.
Read this as a launch guide, not a deal guide: every listing is at its opening price, no listing shows a strikethrough, and none of them has been live long enough to carry customer ratings — so no pick below wears a rating pill. What we can tell you is what each pair is, where it sits in the family, and which job it does best, the way we sorted the Nike-to-Puma sneaker rack on Myntra earlier this year. If you are waiting for these to discount instead, our Big Billion Days dates page tracks the sale where new launches historically take their first cut.
Every price below was pulled from Flipkart on August 30, 2026 and checked against the MRP on the listing. Stack them with the live codes on our Flipkart coupons page, which the deals desk re-verifies daily.
The Rs. 9,230 Signature in Test-ball red, its white twin, and the OG and X versions that get you the silhouette from Rs. 6,999.
The launch shoe itself: deep Test-ball red leather, cream seam stitching, a gum sole, and Kohli's gold signature on the quarter panel.
Why it earned its spotThe Rs. 9,230 price is the point — it mirrors the 9,230 Test runs Kohli retired with, and this is the only shoe in the lineup that carries the number.
The same Signature build in whole white — tonal seam stitching, gold signature, and a sole that skips the gum for clean white.
Why it earned its spotYou get the premium Signature leather and detailing at Rs. 231 less, in a colour you can wear to the office without explaining the backstory.
The OG line takes the Signature's red-and-gum recipe and rebuilds it at Rs. 6,999 — same silhouette, contrast white stitching, no signature.
Why it earned its spotIt is the closest thing to the Rs. 9,230 shoe at Rs. 2,231 less, and at arm's length the two are hard to tell apart.
A whole-white OG with the tonal seam stitch — the quiet one in the drop, and the easiest to place in a normal wardrobe.
Why it earned its spotAt Rs. 6,999 it is the cheapest way into the Seam XVIII silhouette, and white-on-white is the colourway that dates slowest.
The X line swaps smooth leather for a grained royal-blue finish with a dark gum sole — the only strong colour in the XVIII family.
Why it earned its spotEvery other XVIII is red or white; if you want the silhouette but not the tribute palette, this is the one pair that offers it.
Off-white leather over a gum sole — the white-sneaker formula with the warmth the whole-white pairs lack.
Why it earned its spotWhite-plus-gum is the most forgiving combination in sneakers: it works with denim, chinos and joggers, and the sole doesn't show every step.
one8's entry sneaker is one shoe in five accents. The build never changes; your wardrobe decides the stitch colour.
The entry point of the whole brand: a court-style white sneaker with the seam stitch in red and a matching red heel tab.
Why it earned its spotAt Rs. 4,999 with a cream cupsole and red accents, it does the white-sneaker-with-a-pop job that usually starts at a thousand more from the big court franchises.
The same Classic in white and green — the colourway that reads most like a heritage tennis shoe.
Why it earned its spotGreen-on-white is the least common accent in Indian sneaker racks right now, which makes the most familiar silhouette here feel the freshest.
White with royal-blue stitch and tab — the safest of the five Classics and the one most likely to sell through first.
Why it earned its spotBlue accents on white is the default Indian casual-sneaker palette; this version will match more of an existing wardrobe than any other pick on this page.
The one dark Classic: black upper, tonal black stitch, red heel tab, cream sole — built for the half of the year when white shoes are a liability.
Why it earned its spotEvery other pick in this chapter shows Mumbai monsoon and Delhi dust within a week; this one doesn't, and it still has the cream sole to keep it from looking heavy.
White upper, black heel tab, stitch so tonal it is almost invisible — the most minimal shoe one8 makes.
Why it earned its spotIf the brand logo matters less to you than the shape, this is the Classic that looks most like a premium plain white sneaker.
A BoomFoam daily trainer in five moods, all Rs. 9,999: road blue, lifestyle bone, high-vis neon, stealth black and contrast black-white.
one8's max-cushion road shoe: knit upper, BoomFoam midsole stack, heel pull-tab and reflective hits, in royal blue with an orange accent.
Why it earned its spotThis is the colourway one8 leads its own running imagery with, and the blue-grey-orange balance shows the shoe's lines better than the dark pairs.
The same BoomFoam build in bone, sand and a gold pull-tab — a runner styled for the street rather than the track.
Why it earned its spotBeige running shoes are the current lifestyle uniform, and this is the only colourway in the lineup that plays that card.
Royal blue up top, a full neon-volt midsole underneath — the high-visibility option for early-morning road runners.
Why it earned its spotBetween the volt foam and the reflective panels, this is the colourway built for 5 AM traffic, which is when most Indian road running actually happens.
Triple black, foam stack included — the Boom Rush for people whose entire gym bag is already black.
Why it earned its spotAn all-black max-cushion shoe does treadmill, commute and travel duty without ever looking out of place, which is why every running brand keeps one in the line.
Black knit over a white BoomFoam stack with an aqua rim — the contrast colourway that keeps the foam visible and the upper practical.
Why it earned its spotBlack-upper-white-sole is the most durable-looking split in running shoes: the part that touches dust stays dark, the part that shows the tech stays white.
Two Rs. 13,999 cricket shoes, identical underneath, split only by livery — the one part of the launch aimed at the pitch itself.
The flagship cricket shoe: full spike outsole, SonicFoam midsole, SonicGrip plate, in whites with aqua — built for turf, not for streets.
Why it earned its spotAt Rs. 13,999 this is the most expensive shoe one8 sells, and it is the only one aimed at the sport the brand's founder actually played.
The X version of the spike trades the Pro's clean whites for an aqua fade and gold seam logo, on the same spiked platform.
Why it earned its spotSame Rs. 13,999, same spikes — the choice between Pro and X is purely which one you want standing in your kit bag photo.
The Classic with its laces deleted, in black or white: the travel shoes of the lineup at Rs. 6,999.
The Classic's shape with the laces deleted: all-black leather, elastic gore under the vamp, tonal seam stitch.
Why it earned its spotA laceless leather sneaker in all black is the single most useful travel shoe there is — security lines, short flights, hotel breakfasts.
The white version of the Pavilion slip-on — tonal stitch, white sole, zero fastening, maximum airport-lounge energy.
Why it earned its spotWhite leather plus slip-on convenience is the combination the fashion crowd has been buying from premium loafer-sneaker hybrids at twice this price.
Three practical notes before the picks. First, this is a full-price launch — the honest comparison is against what the same money buys from the big sportswear brands, and we make that comparison inside the cards. Second, if you want a first cut on these prices, history favours patience: marquee launches on Flipkart typically see their first bank-card or event pricing at the next tentpole sale, and our BBD dates tracker is the page to watch. Third, stack the boring savings that work at full price too: SuperCoins accrue on these like anything else, a Flipkart Black or Plus membership changes your delivery maths, and the live code list on our Flipkart coupons page is worth thirty seconds before checkout.

All 20 prices below were pulled from each listing's live Flipkart product page on August 30, 2026, and every card is marked launch price — because that is what these are. No listing showed an MRP strikethrough, so no card invents a discount.
one8 has priced by line, not by colourway: Classics at Rs. 4,999, the XVIII OG, X and Pavilion at Rs. 6,999, Boom Rush at Rs. 9,999, spikes at Rs. 13,999. Knowing which line a shoe belongs to is knowing its price — so every card names its line and model code.
Twenty pairs from one brand can blur together, so each pick is sorted by the job it does best — collector's shelf, office rotation, monsoon beater, dawn runs, kit bag — and colourway twins are compared against each other inside the cards.
None of these listings has ratings yet, and nobody has wear-tested the runners publicly. Where a claim is the brand's — BoomFoam, SonicGrip — we label it as the brand's. The rating pills will appear on this page when real marketplace data exists.
Yes. The listings sit in Flipkart's one8 brand store and several carry Flipkart's brand-authorised seller badge. one8 is Virat Kohli's own brand, and the Seam XVIII line launched with Flipkart as its marketplace partner — the launch banner itself reads 'Only on Flipkart.'
The price matches the 9,230 runs Kohli scored in Test cricket before retiring from the format. The red colourway is styled after the red Test ball, with seam-style stitching across the upper. The white Signature, without the numbered price story, lists at Rs. 8,999.
No. Every listing in the launch lineup shows a flat launch price with no strikethrough MRP — from Rs. 4,999 for the Seam Classic to Rs. 13,999 for the Cover Drive 18 spikes. Marquee launches on Flipkart usually see their first event pricing at the next big sale, so the Big Billion Days window is the realistic time to expect movement.
All three share the same low-profile silhouette. The Signature (Rs. 8,999-9,230) is the premium leather version with Kohli's embroidered gold signature. The OG (Rs. 6,999) keeps the smooth leather and contrast stitching but drops the signature. The X (Rs. 6,999) uses grained finishes and different palettes — blue-brown and white-gum — for a more casual look.
The Boom Rush (Rs. 9,999) is the running shoe, built with one8's BoomFoam cushioning stack and reflective details. The Cover Drive 18 Pro and 18 X (Rs. 13,999) are spiked cricket shoes for turf and grass only. Everything else in the lineup — Seam Classic, XVIII and Pavilion — is casual footwear.
