Kobe Bryant donned these Nike 'Kobe VII' sneakers with an insane colorway during Game 4 of the 2012 Western Conference Semifinals versus the Oklahoma City Thunder. The dual-signed sneakers remain in pristine condition while showing definitive signs of game use. The shoes have been definitively photomatched to Kobe's second to last career playoff performance on May 19, 2012. This was his last Playoff game at home in Los Angeles. Kobe autographed each Nike swoosh in bold permanent marker for excellent eye appeal. The date of the game has also been inscribed on the rear of each sneaker. This series vs. OKC would be the last playoff series that Kobe would participate in making these shoes the second to last playoff shoes that Kobe would ever lace up.
Kobe finished the game with a game-high 38 points and tacked on 8 rebounds along with 5 assists. The Lakers fell short at the end of the game, losing 100-103 to the Thunder, who would go on to the 2012 NBA Finals. An incredible opportunity to own a pair of game worn Kobe Bryant sneakers from an impeccable near-career final playoff performance.
The shoes are accompanied by a Photomatch LOA from Sports Investors Authentication and a Panini COA that verifies both the signatures and the game use of the pair. Also comes with full letter Beckett COA.
Comes with original Panini box.
