Featured here is an incredible pair of Kobe Bryant game-worn sneakers from a November 16 2014 home game against the eventual 2014-15 NBA Champion Golden State Warriors signed and inscribed by Kobe and sourced from Panini Authentic the Black Mamba's official memorabilia partner. Kobe scored a season-high 44 points on 15-34 shooting with 5 rebounds and 3 assists in the Lakers' 136-115 loss at the Staples Center. Kobe's 2014-15 season was cut short due to a shoulder injury in late January. At age 36 he averaged 22.1 points 5.7 rebounds and 5.6 assists in 35 games that year. Now that Kobe is officially retired after scoring an amazing 60 points in his final game (perhaps the greatest farewell performance in any sport ever) game-used memorabilia like this will be even more heavily coveted for one of the greatest basketball players in history.
These stylish Nike "Kobe IX Elite" model shoes come in white with a Laker-themed purple Swoosh and black midsole. The lightweight high-top design is similar to a wrestling shoe as they are tall thin and flexible at the ankle. The interior tagging shoes his size 14 along with "SEASON H014" and "PROMO SAMPLE" confirming that they were player-issued and not for public consumption. Unique black insoles are custom-fitted inside to provide additional support for Kobe's feet; a torn Achilles ended his 2012-13 season and wiped out most of 2013-14 as well. The tongues have Kobe's unique Nike gear logo in black and his facsimile signature stamped in purple. Nine red stripes appear horizontally on the heels to denote the ninth edition of his signature model Kobe Elites. The shoes come with their original purple laces and show appropriate game use. Kobe has signed each shoe on the outer heel in shiny 9-10/10 silver pen; the right shoe is inscribed on the outer purple swoosh "44 Pts" with "vs Golden State" on the left in the same location. Game photos clearly show him wearing these shoes. Original Panini black presentation box is included.
Includes hologrammed COA (PA31902) from Panini Authentic Kobe's exclusive memorabilia provider. Pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
