NBA Players Are Having A Hard Time Finding Nike Kobe Bryant Sneakers

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Nike Basketball / NIke The everyday sneakerhead might still regard the classic Air Jordans are the grails of the sneaker collecting culture, but NBA players seem to be stocking up on Nike Kobe‘s to the point that they’re becoming hard to come by in today’s sneaker game.
