Kobe Bryant is one of the few signature athletes to dominate the shoe game with both Adidas and Nike. Bryant, began with career with Adidas, but his contract expired in 2003 and now had every shoe company in the world fighting for his services.

For all of you not familiar with sneaker terminology, PE’s means “Player Exclusives” and those are not available for purchase to the general public. Every time you watch an NBA game, you will see players wearing some rare and unique sneakers that you will never see at your neighborhood Footlocker.
Luckily, Nike has decided to release the Air Flight Hurache with the Kobe PE colorway. So if you want to play like the 2003 version of Kobe Bryant, make sure you cop these kicks. As mentioned before, getting your hands on a PE colorway is rare, so make sure you act fast before Nike pulls them off the shelves.
