NT, School me on Kobe PE III's

[hjdm]

I honestly don't know much about them at all, and can't find much info.  Absolute

though.

Forum search didn't return much info on them either... can't say I didn't try.  

  Does anyone have more info on how rare they are/more pics?

 

[vsano]

I'm not sure what year is this.. Kobe, still in # 8, w/ his PE 3's...

 

[hjdm]

do you know how many pairs were released to the public, if any?

 

[ssgefiestoakagerger]

Most probably the baddest shoes on the planet, PERIOD. 

 

[hjdm]

only diggin for info because i might be getting a SUPER beat pair tomorrow... i'll post pics in legit check after i get them.

best part is, they're free.

worst part is, they might not be legit.

50-50 shot here haha... if they're legit, i have a nice restoration project for summer. 

edit: if they're not, i have something to do garden work in.

Yeah I remember those, funny thing was that those were "confirmed" to drop in 2003. A very very reliable NTer "confirmed" that those III's were gonna drop and they never did. I forgot who was the NTer that confirmed them but it was a highly respectable NTer.

Too bad these didn't release.

It's never too late. Huge cash cow for JB if we get these as a Retro+  colorway.

Those are Fresh!

 

[AL Andretti]

Those are..

These shoes never released. Kobe was wearing these after the White/Cements dropped. I remember he busted out a pair of True Blues for the All Star Game as well

 

[hjdm]

Just found DependableJay's old Kobe PE collection thread, knew I had seen these in private possession somewhere before...

Original thread here.

I can't help but be jealous 

That said, does anyone know how many of these were made?  I see them pop up from time to time in collections...

didnt everyone that all star game wear TB 3s? since it was jordans last all star game?

 

[attaq]

^^^ Nah, only a handful of players wore Jordans. I think CWebb wore XVI's in the first half of the game, then switched shoes.

Word? That would have been great. Considering how JB does retros these days, I wouldn't buy if they made them in the future, although I would have purchased in '03 without hesitation.

THOSE VIII ARE 

!!!!!!!

 

[gijace]

hope they release these retro III's, heck they made a lakers version of 1's and VI's why not these..

 

[mandingo of sneakers]

Most likely unknown how many pairs were made. One thing is for certain, only a handful at the most. I'm sure Kobe has a pair or 2 in his closet and Jay has his pair. I think Jay's pair is the only one I have actually seen thru the years.

 

[eg0t]

ALL of Kobe's JB PEs are FIRE!

 

[dmvreseller]

Yuck!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
