First of all, RIP Kobe, Gigi and all others on board that helicopter that tragic evening.

I have a truly one of a kind piece that I am debating parting with

These shoes are Size 14 (Specially tagged), and are Game Used sneakers by Kobe Bryant. They are signed on both shoes, with the right shoe including his Number (24). The signature on each shoe is Flawless!

I bought these initially knowing they were worn during that season and were acquired from Kobe at Staples Center, but was unsure what game they were used in.

Doing further research, I found that Kobe wore this specific shoe (Kobe 6 China) ONLY TWICE During the 2010-2011 season (both times in 2011). The shoe itself is rare and this colorway sells for $800-$1000 for just the shoe on StockX!

One game he wore this style shoe was in an away playoff game against the Clippers on April 17, 2011. The shoe worn at this game previously sold at auction and is verified by Panini.

The Other time Kobe wore these shoes (The game these shoes were believed to be used in) Was on April 12, 2011 Against the Spurs. During this game Kobe received a $100,000 fine from the NBA for a slur made following a technical foul. Kobe still managed to be the top scorer of the game ( 27 Points ) and led the Lakers to a Victory.

I Plan on submitting these for authentication to DC Sports (A Leader in the Authentication and sale of Sports Memorabilia, definitely one of the most reputable Kobe Memorabilia collectors). In no rush to sell. Dan from DC sports has contacted me thinking they are a pair he has processed in the system before! He messaged me on Ebay due to the interest of this Item and people asking him about it.

Offers are welcome and message with any questions or for additional photos!

P.s. - Whatever amount this sells for....Whenever it happens to Be..... A significant Portion will be donated to the Mamba and Mambacita Sports Foundation. Alongside, The rest will be used to pay off my student loans!
