Kicks Info: At this moment Kobe Bryant is widely regarded as one of the best player in the game. He jumped right out of high school with loads of confidence and cockiness, saying he would win 10 championships. So far he had backed up his words, winning the last three NBA titles. Before all these were said and done, however, Adidas already had that vision. Adidas saw that this kid could be the next MJ, and signed him to a shoe deal before he even played one second of a NBA game. These shoes were Kobe's very very first pair of shoes. During his rookie year he wore 4 models of Adidas shoes, and these were his first. He wore them during the pre-season games, and a few games during the regular season, before starting to wear the next models. These shoes featured the "Feet You Wear" technology. The bottom of the shoe looks like the bottom of a foot with heels, toes and all. In 2002 summer, Kobe was no longer signed with Adidas due to the fact that Adidas kept making ugly shoes for him, and he just hated them. He has been trying out all kinds of shoes lately, i.e. Air Jordans, Reebok, And 1...etc.

My Story: As you can see from the picture, the bottom is well worn and flat due to excessive outdoor balling, so you can't see what I mean by the likeness to the bottom of a person's foot. My brother also likes to wear these shoes for walking without tying the shoelaces, hence causing the heel area to be as worn as it gets. But anyways, it is hard to twist ankles when wearing these shoes to play ball because of the extra plastic sticking out at the bottom of the shoes on the outside blade of the feet. My mom bought these shoes for me as my present for being admitted into university. And no doubt I wore these shoes all the time during those countless hours in the university court.
