Nike Kobe 10 Elite (Rivalry)
Due to good old legal restrictions, Nike couldn't name this pair of s the 'Chester' – although their official press release makes quite clear it is a reference to Bryant's rival high school during his Lower Merion years – so they took the next best option by anointing it the 'Rivalry'. Inspired by the Chester HS jerseys, the rivalry was intense and in a thrilling semi-final nail-biter, Kobe shook off an out of character poor three quarter performance to bring home Lower Merion in a blinding fourth quarter spectacular. He went on to secure Lower Merion the first state title in over 50 years. It is still recalled by as one of the greatest turn-arounds seen in a high-school competition. Aside from the back-story, the sneaks look darn clean too! Check them landing at Nike.com and select Swoosh accounts commencing July 22.
