33 years of life have seen Kobe Bryant transcend from Jelly Bean Jr. to the Black Mamba. The Oakley wearing, Brandy-prom-dating, high school phenom made a name for himself early signing with the Lakers at age 17. While he wouldn?t come into his own on court until his second season he?d find himself with a sneaker contract right away. A signature series with adidas, PE filled free agency, and signing with Nike led to many great sneaker moments. In honor of his birthday see the best at Complex.
