The 50 Best Kobe-Inspired NIKEID Designs On Instagram

In 2007, NIKEiD changed the game by making a signature sneaker widely available to customize — the Zoom Kobe 2. Commonplace now, the opportunity to personalize the premier basketball model turned the sneaker community upside down.

Over the years, Kobes have remained hot commodities on the platform. Most recently, the Flyknit-constructed Kobe 10 Elite has been so popular that we had to spotlight completed designs twice. And if Instagram shares are any indication, it’s currently outpacing all other basketball models.

As Kobe Bryant’s 37th birthday approaches, we’ve rounded up 50 of the best Kobe-inspired NIKEiD designs on Instagram. The selection consists of various Kobe signature models styled in trademark looks from the line.
