Hall of Famer and the late Kobe Bryant played 35 games in 2014-15 before succumbing to a rotator cuff injury and led the Lakers with 22.3 points per game – making the 17th All-Star Game of his storied career. The Lower Merion High School product played one final season with the Lakers, capped off by a memorable 60-point outing in the last NBA game of Bryant’s Hall of Fame career. These offered Nike Kobe IX Elite sneakers were issued to Bryant in the 2014-15 season and are white with purple Nike swooshes on each side of the shoe. The midsole is black, with a speckled white pattern interspersed throughout. Bryant’s personal logo is applied to the textured tongue below a facsimile of his signature. These shoes are high tops, with nine red bars embroidered on the heels. Purple lace holders line the top of the white-laced size 14 shoes. The borders connecting the shoes to the soles are yellow and the tops of the heels have yellow borders with “KBNINTH” embroidered in yellow across the top. The soles are yellow with a purple Kobe Bryant logo on the heel portion. These sneakers come in their original box and are accompanied by a LOA from MEARS for the game issue.
