Kobe Bryant Shoes - The Sneakers and the Man
Monday, December 28, 2009Back in 1996, a young guard was drafted in the NBA by Charlotte Hornets. But he will not play a single game in a Hornets uniform. Instead, he was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers where he would eventually win four NBA championships and an MVP Award.
Kobe Bryant is an NBA Superstar and his shoes are one of the most sought after sports apparels today. From the time he first soared for an electrifying dunk until recently, when he won his fourth ring, Kobe’s signature shoes have been as famous as the man who wears them. Such was his talent that Adidas had signed him a six-year contract. The pair-up has resulted to a number of Adidas-made Kobe Bryant shoes, most notably the Equipment KB8 and the futuristically designed Kobe II.
But just like any other superstar, Kobe has his own battles with controversy. Back in 2003, just when his contract with Adidas was about to expire, he was accused of sexual assault. This tarnished his reputation - the reason why some of his endorsements were cut short. Adidas never signed him again. But its rival, Nike, had other plans. Seeing that the superstar in Bryant can weather the storm overtime, the sports giant had signed him to a five-year multimillion contract. This partnership has resulted to the creation of the new Kobe Bryant shoes including the Zoom Kobe collection as well as the Nike Hyperdunk series - made more famous by the now infamous Youtube videos where Kobe is seen jumping off a speeding Ashton Martin and dunking over a swimming pool full of snakes.
