While a shoe dubbed "The Kobe" is obviously best remembered for being worn on the feet of a young LA Lakers superstar in the midst of winning three straight NBA titles, the classic adidas Basketball model was also spotted across town on the feet of several UCLA Bruins during the early 2000s.
Check out everyone from Matt Barnes to Jason Kapono to Earl Watson rocking The Kobe in four different colorways below, and be on the lookout for the "Sunshine" colorway to make its way back to stores this Thursday, December 26th as the newly renamed adidas Crazy 1.
