It looks like the Nike SB Kobe x Koston 1 isn’t the only Black Mamba-inspired sneaker that was timed to coincide with what would have been Bryant’s fourth straight NBA Finals appearance. Check out the Diamond Supply Co. Marquise done in the LA Lakers’ colors, complete with ’24′ embroidery on the lateral heels. That’s how many hand-numbered pairs will be released on Thursday, June 2nd, a super-limited run that rivals the scarcity of the Air Jordan III PE Kobe wore back in 2004. Click on the jump to see more of Diamond Supply’s’ take on this classic silhouette and let us know what you think by leaving a comment. via CJL

really, AJ3s much? i'd rather buy some 3s than buy these overpriced copies.

wouldnt even bother to line up for limited edition rip-off even if its numbered to 24…rather get a aj3 true blue or something that would be more of a "classic" than this

I'm born and bread LA and an avid Lakers fan and I think these are pretty bad. Poorly executed IMO

Why are you all complaining?
I thought Sneaker News is popollated by Kobroom dickriders who blindly swallow anything that smells like Kobitch cock? You should like these.

i can already find these knock off 3's on Canal Street. These are TERRIBLE. Diamond loss kudos for this.

These should retail for like $18. smh

these aren't even 3 knockoffs! people saying that are giving them too much creativity and not using their brains enough.
what these really resemble is the FLIPSYDE, aka the most misguided shoe Jordan has ever created. These = Flipsydes. Same shit different stink.
Dear Diamond: YOU ARE A HARDWARE COMPANY. so you have a cool name and logo that helps you sell shirts, that's great. When I was 15 I thought they were pretty nifty. But it's 2011, and instead of growing up there's now Diamond Hardware Footwear, Limited Edition Kobe colorway? this is beyond stupid. This is beyond a fail. Holla if you hear me.
