SLAM Presents KOBE: The Kicks Issue (Re-Release)

Everything that Kobe Bryant did on the court—the five rings, the 33,643 points, the game-winners—he did with an important pair of sneakers on his feet. He started with adidas—mixed in a handful of other brands—and he ended with Nike, making his sneaker legacy just as noteworthy as his basketball legacy.

In May of 2022, we documented how meaningful Bean’s relationship to his footwear really was with our special edition, KOBE: The Kicks Issue. Those pages covered all of that history, in great detail and with great respect for one of the greatest to ever do it.

The 2023 re-issue of KOBE: The Kicks adds to that amazing legacy with exclusive interviews of PJ Tucker and Eirik Nielsen and an update on how Vanessa Bryant and Nike are planning to further extend the Mamba’s signature sneaker line, adding up to 16 new pages to go along with the original version of our tribute to one of the greatest ever.
