EDIT: Allen Iverson became the face of Reebok Basketball after College NOT after High school. My bad on the mistake!
It 's ok your content is still amazing
Gerald Bonello 🙏🙏🙏
Yes I was like A.I. was rocking concords in Hoyas hajah
Aiden Suh hahaha
He didn’t go to collage
Nacho and Brian, you guys never disappoint!
Same here
Thank you bro!
NachoAverageFinds can you comments something on one of my videos! My friends love your channel and it would be really cool! Thanks!
Kobe 2s were so traaaaash. 1s were nice. His move to Nike was the right choice.
Truly the right choice haha
His love to Nike was his only choice, Adidas dropped Kobe after his rape charge
@@IblewuponyourfaceIII that y Nike is number 1 and Adidas trash specially the Yeezy’s
@@williammitchell1368 No Nike is better in designs cause of Tinker Hatfield, Eric Avar. Nobody Buys Kobes like that 😂 his image wasn’t enough to sell the shoes well.
Who ever Okay’d his release of the sneakers should be slapped in the face lol
I seriously love sparkin a blunt and chillin with/watchin this channel 💨💨💨💯
Haha hell yeah! I love that 👊
Love you 2 for this. Even after I dropped basketball for boxing and track, it was Kobe’s mentality that I always tried to live up to. This is a part of his career I actually didn’t know about lol
Kobe’s mindset is something to strive for. That’s for sure! Thanks for watching G
NachoAverageFinds always g👍🏿✊🏿
Back In The Day, Some Dude In School Used To Say That Adidas Shoes Were Crap. I Believed Him… Until I Saw The Adidas Ad With Kobe Wearing The Eqt. I Liked Its Design. And Then Came The First Kb8. A Schoolmate Of Mine Had It And I Liked It A Lot. Back Then Kids Used To Buy Shoes Only From Nike, Reebok, Fila And Converse As They Were The More Well-Known Brands. I Guess When Kobe Gained Popularity, Kids Started Giving Adidas A Try. Indeed Kobe’S First Few Adidas Shoes Were Super Sweet.
The Adidas Kobe One Was Something New When It Came Out. My Favorite Colorways Of That Model Were The Silver/Gray+Black And The Ice Blue+Black One. I Wanted A Pair But They Were Quite Expensive Back Then.
And, Yes, I Was Not A Fan Of The Adidas Kobe Two. It Looked… Out Of Place On And Off The Court. Though I’M Still Glad Kobe Was Able To Win A Championship In Those Shoes. Or Did He Wear Something Else When The Lakers Won In 2002?
Even Though Kobe’S Time With Adidas Was Short, He Helped Popularize The Brand In The Late 1990S. He Was Indeed A Legend.
Rest In Peace, Kobe…
Yo Paul thanks for the thoughtful comment 🙏 he actually wore the Kobe 1s when they won in 2002. He wore the Kobe 2s for half the season and switched back to the 1. Probably cause he was embrassed to rock them haha
@@NachoAverageFinds Wow! Thanks for the new info, Nacho. So he actually wore the kobe one again during his 2002 championship run. It’s only now that I’ve heard of this.
It’s like when Iverson refused to wear the reebok “i3 playoff mid” during the 2001 playoffs. He wore player exclusive answer 4s instead.
Over the years the Crazy 8 has become 1 of my all-time fav Adidas shoes. It's wild it is tied so heavily to Kobe. Rt now they seem to be resting on 4D, boost and Ye.
T-mac did too! T-mac was 1 of the best players in the league back then. Just didn't have anyone around him that would help him get get past the first round of the playoffs with the Magic
Yeah by playoff time back to the ones..i was happy because i got tge last laugh on the playground
Nacho and Brian, Two Kings! Thanks for making videos during these hard times, they really are wonderful to watch.
Thanks Israel! Means a lot to us that you would say that. Much love
I didnt know YZY borrowed that 500 sole from KOBEs line. Anyway these vids are the best dude, excellent!
I didn’t know either until I started research for this video! Crazy right? Haha
So happy y’all did this been waiting on Kobe
Yeah it was just a little too soon to do it ya know? Thanks so much for watching man
Immediately after watching this had to go and follow on Instagram. Love the content keep it up.

To this day, I still have my toasters lol. Bought them in 2001, and now over 20 years later, they're still fully intact and still going strong. They were truly built like tanks and I think they can last another decade.

Hey love your vids. waiting for the part of this one.
Frobe 1000%
I'd actually rock the Kobe 1's but those K2's look like Optimus Prime house slippers.
The Kobe 3 was way better than the 2's.
Yeah the 2s were a mess haha Kobe 1s one of my favorites too. In the ice blue Colorway
Trippin I think the 3s were ugly as fuuuuuck
I loved the Kobe 2

The Adidas Top Ten 2000 with the black and white colorway is special to me because during the summer of 96, Tracy McGrady broke out as a player at the ABCD camp. I remember him talked about in Slam Magazine in the fall of that year. He was featured in SI and he wore those exact models with that exact colorway.
Underrated channel.
Thanks Rhett!
This channel is so underrated
Can’t wiT for the part 2 of this 🔥
As ALLWAYS..☝️👌👏👏👏 amazing content guys WELL DONE 👍
2:45 that just shows you how Beast Kobe was, nothing hurt him, not even a ball to the face, RIP KING🏀😇🌹
The original Kobe 1 from Adidas is my all time favorite Kobe shoe. i have a long love history with them. I scored 30 points in a crucial game as a kid and my dad said i could get a pair of shoes, i went to the mall and picked out the Black Kobe 1's, long story short, nobody noticed them because they were triple black lol so i returned them a few days later and got the space ship silver pair. ah man great choice. i LOVED those shoes and worn them into the ground, eventually becoming paint shoes, yea that worn lol. In 2014 i was fortinunite enough to know a girl working at footlocker, i wasnt into shoes again yet then but i NEEDED the Kobe re release. i got them in stormtrooper white, so sexy omg. i never worn them and kept it as a collector item, i eventually sold them to pay bills years later and now that Kobe passed, their a $1000 shoe. ill never be able to own them again and im so mad, but hey the memories!!!!!!! Thanks for reading if you did.
Boys I've run out of video requests you deliver everytime don't ever stop i with yous to the grave
Haha bro thank you so much for saying that! I see your comment and I really appreciate it
Such an underrated CZcams channel
We had a family friend that worked at adidas when I was younger. I got a pair of the EQT Elevation's in the white cw before they came out to the public. I LOOOOVED those shoes so much.
I love the Fro logo too makes it more personal.
Hi from Chile, love ur content, it helped me a lot on my research for the university, thanks. Can you make one about the Adidas microbounce? I couldn't find any info about the retro shoe. Keep it up
Glad that our content helped you with research Diego! Adidas Microbounce in a future video
Nice vid
Thanks Gung!
Team “Frobe” logo 😎. Brian and Nacho, you guys always deliver!
I actually wanted a pair of those kicks when I was young...🤘🏼💯✔️
The KB8 was a special shoe. I bought my pair fall of 97 before basketball tryouts my Jr year of HS. I failed to make the team but at least I looked good relegated to JV. I didn't try out for basketball my Sr year and continued wearing the KB8 casually all throughout that year and the next in college before discarding them because they wore out. It was retroed and is still available in September 2023.
Good shit !
Thanks Jaz!
Sick video bros
Thanks Alan!!
This channel is underrated.
I’m flattered you think so 🙏🙏
good stuff
Had good memories with the top ten 2000s. I wore those on all seasons even in the winter.
My Adidas Kobe 2 All Stars are one of my all time grails in my collection! Never getting rid of them! Exactly like the ones pictured at 6:07
THE KOBE had a visual signature and personnality that was never matched by the Nike line
The KB8 crazy 8 look dope 🔥
Yeah one my favorites
Well that was an abrupt ending. Still like the videos. I need part two and three.
I can't lie those Kobe 3s looked cool to me. They did look heavy af but dope.
Haha Not my style but I can respect it
Best sneaker channel ever made.
Means a lot man thank you 🙏
@@NachoAverageFinds cant wait for the next Kobe episodes! Blessings!
Kobe one's was fire!
Yee I had them joints in elementary school!
I remember his Adidas years somewhat. I got his first shoe the Adidas Top Ten 2000. Then later it was his Crazy 8 (the same he wore in the 98 All Star Game). Then I never wore any Adidas Kobe shoe again (mostly because I was not into sneaker/basketball anymore).
The Frobe logo looks like it bellongs on a Superstar 😅 but I like it more
Frobe logo all the way 😏
The Kobe 1 lowkey fire
Pleaaaaase do a part two and three
this boutta be the most anticipated sequel in history
where is it lol
And now he wave crazy byw kinda reminds me of kobes adidas
Jordan, Frobe Kobe and Nike Klaw logos some of best sneaker logos all-time. Frobe and Klaw might be more creative.
I love both!
The frobe logo is really cool it reminds me of the Stan Smith portrait
My favorite Kobe shoe is the Adidas Crazy 8 Nightmare Before Christmas. I hope to get My hands on a pair one day.
Crazy 8 was 🔥🔥🔥
One of the best
@@NachoAverageFinds i wish they retro again.
You reminded me of the weird Kobes. First time I saw them, I was baffled really. But they were original I can say that much.
Never understood the hate of the Kobe Adidas era! I love the Kobe 1’s and I thought the 2’s were dope! Idk, just something about those designs I loved!
Kobe's adidas signature shoes pique my interest its an excellent design.
I love the early crazy 8s and the Kobe 1s
keep on keeping on guys! love the channel. I’ll be sure to hit that instagram too.
Ustedes hacen los mejores videos.
Gracias chingon
🔥🔥🥺
Can u make a history video forte the am 360’s (obv from 2006) ??? 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I remember by friend, who is a huge Lakers/Kobe fan, bought the white with yellow and purple trim Kobe 2s in middle school and got roasted hard then. Our group of friends still roast him mercilessly over those shoes to this day 🤣🤣
Rest In Peace mamba
Bring back nacho
Rip Kobe
🐐
Not to get off topic. But a quick video on those guitars? Please
those Kobe 3 prototypes were way better than the 2's.
Yeah they were haha they’re still strange to me though
When are you guys going to upload part 2 of Kobe Bryant's sneaker legacy?
When is the oart 2?!?!?!
Its been almost a year now... Where or when is part 2?
We can't let his name die
🕊Live Colby and Gigi🕊
Bryan, you sound like david blaine explaining sneaker culture. Feature nacho on camera, he's too shy. Keep up the good work, greetings from the beautiful LIMA, PERU 👍
Haha we’re separated due to COVID so you’re stuck with me 😂
@@NachoAverageFinds Nah man don't live life like that.
After watching the reviews, here is my say.
Adidas wanted to make Kobe shoes like a sports car. They were going for the Aerodynamics. 3rd pair shows that air vents on the toe box and side of the shoes. (Dont get me wrong it was hideous) It grew on me like the Yeezy Wave Runners. Ended up buying Kobe 2 lol.
.
Kobe Part 2 video will be interesting. This is where Kobe series really take off.
Nike Kobe signature line was very controversial in the beginning, because Kobe was accused of rape. It was a bad marketing for Nike at the time. Lebron received a 90 mil contract vs Kobe received 50 million. A kid who came straight out of high school vs A man who 3 championship ring. Huarache 2k4 and 2k5 wouldve been Kobe 1 or 2 but they pushed his signature line 2 years later. Nike wanted to make sure he could bounce back, before giving him his own signature line.
Air Zoom Kobe 1 was not even debuted in the beginning of the season. They were debuted in the All-Star.
Y u making me cry bru
My bad g lol
What's the Sheath logo supposed to represent?
No part 2?
