These shoes are a 2006 re-release of the Adidas "The Kobe" shoes.
This was Kobe's first real signature shoe with Adidas.
I had two pairs when those were released back in 2000-2001.
I always thought these were the coolest basketball shoes ever.
I still think they're just as cool as I did nearly ten years ago.
Ergo, I bought a pair off of ebay for $54, compared to $100+ retail.
