One of the more sentimental pieces of footwear memorabilia has just gone up for auction via Heritage Auctions. The shoes in question are a pair of adidas Kobe 2s in an American flag colorway, gifted by Kobe Bryant himself to a highschool aged LeBron James. Regarding the shoes in question, James once stated:
“I think my most fond moment is he gave me his shoes when I was in high school,” James said, “I think I was playing in a tournament in Teaneck, N.J., and they were playing in the [2002] All-Star game in Philly. And I had an opportunity to go meet him, and he gave me a pair of his shoes, and I actually wore them in a game against Oak Hill, against Melo [Carmelo Anthony], actually.”
The auction ends on February 27th.
