Offered here is a pair of Kobe Bryant game worn Adidas KB8 or "Crazy 8" shoes. Bryant wore these shoes in a matchup against the Dallas Mavericks on December 14, 1997, his sophomore season in the Association. Bryant led all scorers with 30 points in the game, as the Lakers easily achieved victory by a 119-89 score. The "Crazy 8" line of shoes were the first shoes inspired by Bryant's actual playing style.
The shoes come with strong provenance, as Bryant met the consignor after the game and took a photo with the consignor's son holding these shoes. The incredible early piece of Kobe game worn memorabilia comes with a notarized letter from the consignor detailing exactly how they acquired the size 14 shoes after the game.
