During the 1997 NBA Playoffs when the Los Angles Lakers faced off against the Utah Jazz, Kobe Bryant had his famous “airball game.” We all watched and witnessed, as did a young DeMar DeRozan back in his hometown of Compton.<\/p>\n
The game schooled the Raptors All-Star in the art of dealing with adversity and resilience. His latest Nike Kobe A.D. “DeRozan” PE<\/strong> is inspired by his earliest memory of Kobe Bryant and the lessons he learned throughout that game.<\/p>\n Odes to that day, May 12, 1997, can be seen on the shoe’s lace tips. From there, a picture of the street that DeRozan grew up on in Compton marks the sockliner. Grab a closer look at the shoe below and expect the release on April 12 via SNKRS.<\/p>\n
