adidas The Kobe II
Polarizing in design, panned by many, the adidas The Kobe II certainly wasn’t for everybody. Nevertheless, it was one of the most modern (perhaps too modern) designs from the adidas Kobe line. Low and boxy, this spaceship of a sneaker looked like nothing on the market at the time, pushing the envelope on just how odd a signature sneaker could look. Kobe wore what would be his last signature shoe with adidas on court in team takes and most famously the “USA” PE which was also worn in high school by a young LeBron James. As stated, these were a bit ahead of their time when they dropped, but could make for an ill retro (word to Gabe from Uzi who still rocks the OGs on the regular.)
