Kobe Bryant Signed Nike Kobe III Sample Sneakers | Size 14

Private Collector

Presented here is a pair of Nike Zoom Kobe III basketball sneakers signed by Kobe Bryant. Predominantly white with a gold lattice cage upper, purple Swoosh, gold midsole stripe, and purple outsole, the sneakers are presented in the Los Angeles Lakers home colorway. The left sneaker is signed by Bryant in silver marker across the vamp, additionally inscribed with his uniform number "24."

The Nike Zoom Kobe III was Bryant's signature sneaker during the 2007-08 NBA season, a year in which he won his first and only regular season MVP award, leading the Lakers to a 57-25 record and their first NBA Finals appearance since 2004. The Lakers ultimately fell to the Boston Celtics four games to two in the 2008 NBA Finals, setting the stage for back-to-back championships in 2009 and 2010. The Kobe III was worn by Bryant throughout that season and into the Finals, cementing its place as one of the most significant models in his signature sneaker lineage.

The signature has been authenticated by James Spence Authentication.
