Adidas Kobe 2 ‘USA Flag’ Sample | Size 14

The Adidas Kobe 2 marked the second installment in Kobe Bryant's line of signature basketball sneakers. Building upon its predecessor, the Adidas Kobe 1, the design evolution maintains a visible influence from the automotive industry, a nod to the original inspiration.

The distinctive design of the sneaker permitted a three-panel upper, allowing the incorporation of distinct colors and designs. After the September 11 attacks in New York, Kobe Bryant was seen wearing this unique model as a tribute to the victims of the attack. The pair is dressed in classic red, blue, and white hues, with prominent star motifs along the collars and accentuated by white and red stripes symbolizing the American flag. Additionally, the insoles showcase a silhouette of Bryant's head.

The colorway itself, which exudes a deep sense of patriotism, was rumored to have been limited to just 30 pairs.
