There has been no shortage of exciting sneaker news in 2023. One of the best stories of the year was Nike's relaunch of Kobe Bryant's signature sneaker line. Unfortunately for loyal fans, it remains incredibly challenging to find Bryant's iconic sneakers at retail price.

However, there is a silver lining for fans not wanting to pay exorbitant resale prices. While Bryant played for the Los Angeles Lakers throughout his entire career, he was not always a Nike athlete. Bryant began his career with adidas and shuffled through several brands during his legendary "sneaker free agency" season. Below are five sneakers once worn by Bryant that are available at retail prices online.
