Air Jordan 8 PE for Kobe Bryant
Posted by Matt Halfhill | Aug 2, 2008 While there could be a valid 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.Â
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 7, *Update* Air Jordan 9 (got schooled by the dean), and Air Jordan 8 in special PE makeups to wear during the 2002-03 season. As for how many of each 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). |

I ‘ m not really feelin ‘ these .
I like the Ray Allen ‘ s better .
but in the mean time the PE III ‘ s qo hella hard .
On the other hand [ aside from the fact that I ' ve never really been a fan of VII ' s ] I ‘ m not into the PE VII ‘ s either .

Aug 4, 2008 at 12:24 pm
Nice to see the Originals. There are mad bootlegs online with this colorway. These would be sick to have in the collection!!
Aug 4, 2008 at 7:36 am
MAAANN, these look too good. I agree wit #25, they should release these as a LS colorway.
Aug 4, 2008 at 4:27 am
The auction ended at a cent probably cus someone made him an offer and he ended it early.
where are the PE IIIs?
Aug 4, 2008 at 1:29 am

very nice pair but a lot of money
Aug 3, 2008 at 12:07 pm
why does he get a pair…he sucks… kobe sucks
Aug 3, 2008 at 11:05 am
LoL at the comment about the seller being a FRAUD and everyone ignoring it! Its not hard to get a pair of fake kicks size 13-16 and then scribble on them and pass em off as PE! I see the AJ 8 Ray Allen Celtics colorway at my local fake shop in BKLYN! Ray is probably about a 13 I wonder how much I can get for them???
No picture of Kobe signing them, at least with a camera phone, and you want me to pay over $3000….Suckas!
Aug 3, 2008 at 10:56 am
i like these he should come out in da stores with these like this pair more n then the other color ways that came out this year except for the playoffs and aquas
Aug 3, 2008 at 9:31 am
Man this recession is real I’ve seen lots of exclusive kicks being put on eBay. If these were my size and not signed I’d cop them because I wear my sneakers.
Aug 3, 2008 at 9:25 am
i like this, i’d only rock this wit my kobe jersey
Aug 3, 2008 at 1:54 am

Aug 3, 2008 at 1:35 am
These are hot it seems like that color way should of met the 8’s a long time ago.

The Jordan III PEs and the VIIs are hands down the best PEs along with these. I really liked this year that Kobe had too!
Aug 3, 2008 at 12:52 am
Funny thing is…. this is the same guy that got busted selling altered/fake Jordan PE’s. Are you sure you want to even be associated with someone that was caught selling altered/fake Jordan PE’s? Moneyispower=Screech5511.
