NBA stars and their kicks are the centers of attraction and conversation within the fan world.? There are very few NBA stars who have a sneaker against their name. That’s the reason having one is a matter of pride for the player and their fans. The Late Kobe Bryant was one of the towering figures of the sport. Anything related to him is a worthy collection for him and the fans of the sport. So, when a leading sports and apparel brand announced a Kobe Bryant shoe, the NBA world was stunned – and of course, excited.

The number of years that this product was first visible to the public is a cause of conversation as well. The shoes first appeared on the court back in 2002 – a good 11 years ago.

Kobe Bryant had endorsement deals with some of the best brands

Fans were pleasantly surprised when the competitor brand Reebok announced a Kobe Bryant shoe. During his time, Kobe, who played for the Los Angeles Lakers, had endorsements with Adidas, Spalding, Mcdonald’s, Upper Deck, FerreroSpA and Nintendo. So, he did have a shoe from Adidas, the Equipment KB8. Kobe had also signed up for a five-year deal with Nike.

The shoes are all set to drop on the official website on June 14. The shoes are classy, white in color with a purple sole that’s bound to catch the eyes of every collector out there. The sole has a special message for the fans who ship these knicks – only the strong survive. Reebok really got their flag waving in the NBA world when they signed up with Shaquille O’Neal.? According to Nice Kicks, a Kobe Bryant edition, the Reebok Answer IV shoe will return.

Will fans ship a Kobe Bryant shoe now?

The world lost one of the most talented players in the world when Kobe perished in a helicopter crash, but not before creating a legacy that’s bound to remain intact among NBA players and fans for years to come. Kobe had several endorsements during his time, and fans didn’t waste a moment buying up stuff that was a Kobe Bryant endorsement. Here’s hoping they keep shipping!
