Nike Zoom Kobe III
Released: 2007
The Nike Zoom Kobe III (3) was one of Bryant’s favorite shoes of all time. Led by Eric Avar, Creative Director at Nike, both Bryant and Avar worked together to create a lightweight yet comfortable, flexible, and breathable basketball shoe. A fun fact is that the upper represents the net of a basketball hoop but it has also been said to be inspired by Bryant’s oldest daughter, Natalia.
