Hard to believe its been nearly 11 years since the Kobe II graced the shelves, but lets be honest. When the original Kobe II dropped not many bit and the II was in many cases marked down to around 40 bucks. Bulky and easy to crease were two flaws of this futuristic looking shoe (not good when other brands were trimming down), fast forward to today and its a whole new ball game. Immaculate examples of the Kobe II can command 150-325 and have become increasingly difficult to track down. Take a trip back to 2001 above!
