As all basketball fans know, last season Kobe Bryant missed most last season after tearing a rotator cuff in his shoulder. Kobe’s absence was bad for Lakers fans, but almost just as devastating for sneaker heads, as we missed out on almost a full season’s worth of PE’s of Kobe’s latest shoe, the Nike Kobe 10 in both its standard and Elite editions. Today we get a look at a PE that the Kobe apparently would have eventually worn on the court had he finished the season, with this sample promo pair of the Kobe 10 Elite Low for the Black Mamba himself. He never got to wear them, but now you can, as they’ve landed on the eBay marketplace. A clean colorway that probably would have been a success at retail, the shoe features a black and grey Flyknit upper highlighted by Laker-gold throughout. If you’re the ultimate Kobe fan, you can grab this rare pair now on eBay.
