The Air Jordan shoe has not only revolutionized the shoe industry, but is has given birth to an entire sneaker culture. Even though Michael Jordan hasn’t played an NBA game in over five years his shoes are still selling out, and are some of the most sought after sneakers available.
Ever since Kobe Bryant entered the NBA in 1996 he has drawn comparisons to Michael Jordan. It was definitely fun to watch the few times

While Kobe’s impact on the shoe industry is unlikely to surpass Jordan’s, it will certainly be entertaining to watch Bryant become part of sneaker history. Whether you are a Lakers fan or not, Bryant’s shoes will undoubtedly be a collector’s item in the future, so grab a pair now if you can.[phpbay]saofl, 6, “”, “”[/phpbay]
