Kobe Bryant Game Used & Signed 2002 Sneakers Shoes Photomatched Beckett COA

Introduction

Still just 23 years old, Bryant brought home his third NBA Championship in 2002the youngest player ever to do so! He kicked off the year with a then-career-high 56-point outing, followed by his first of an eventual four All-Star Game MVP Awards. March came in like a lion as Kobe brawled with Reggie Miller and got suspended, before donning these shoes at the end of the month in a 91-79 win over the Blazers.

These shoes are photo matched to that game on March 29th. Resolution’s LOA states, “While a conclusive photomatch could only be made to the right shoe, a likely photomatch was also made to the left shoe on that date, and we believe it is very likely that both shoes pictured on the previous page were worn together on that date.” Kobe’s stat line was 34 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists.

One of the more futuristic models ever to see NBA play, Kobe 2 marked the beginning of the end for Bryant’s Adidas endorsement, and it’s remembered for its prominent toe box, space-age design, and Kobe silhouette logo. Both size-14 shoes feature the Laker colorway and are nicely autographed in the Mamba’s trademark flowing style.
