Kicksology: Kobe Bryant

MVP. Champion. Hall of Famer. Sneaker icon. Kobe Bryant retires as one of the most influential forces in the history of basketball sneakers. To celebrate, we picked out the most important pairs of kicks he laced up in each of his 20 NBA seasons.

Scroll through the photos above to see Kobe’s Kicksology—limited to the sneakers he actually wore on-court during the NBA season. It’s just another small taste of what you’ll find in our brand new special collector’s issue—SLAM Presents KOBE—which hits newsstands on Friday, April 29.
