While there could be a Lit debate on whether Kobe had better signature shoes with Adidas or Nike, no one can deny that his “unsigned” year was the greatest. Part of his agreement with Adidas when the two parted ways was that Kobe had to have 1 year unsigned to any brand and not wear one brand’s shoes more than 3 games in a row.??

Never officially a member of Jordan Brand, Kobe was treated with some of the best Jordan PEs ever (except for the man himself of course). Kobe received the Air Jordan 3, AIR JORDAN 1 UTILITY QUAI 54 WHITE NEUTRAL INDIGO BONE UK 9 US 10 EU 44,??*Update* Air Jordan 12 for 2016 High Zoom Racer Blue CK6637-104 (got schooled by the dean), and NIKE JORDAN 1 LOW SNEAKERS High Retro Concord in special PE makeups to wear during the 2002-03 season. As for how many of Kobe were produced, we have no clue, but finding them is an extreme rarity.

A month or so ago at the Funkmaster Flex Sneaker Battle in Edison, NJ we did come across a pair of the Kobe PE Jordan 8’s, but even better that the shoe itself, they were game worn and signed by Kobe. These shoes won the award for Best Jordan in show. The current price on eBay reflects just how rare and special these shoes are (click to see).
