 The rise of LeBron James as a pre-eminent star in the NBA has not diminished the brightness of Kobe Bryant’s star. Kobe Bryant is talked about on a daily basis by national reporters whether it is a 70 point performance, a potential trade or an off-the-court problem. The shoe customizer MACHE has honored Kobe Bryant’s high level of performance with this customized pair of Air Jordan IIIs.

Friends on your right side will look down and see a tribute to Bryant’s performance in the 1997 Slam Dunk Contest. The portraiture of Kobe dunking with authority has the quality of an actual photo. The left shoe features a picture of Kobe going up with a reverse lay-up that could have been taken from any game. The gold and blue colors of the Los Angeles Lakers are added to these custom for full effect.

These shoes are constructed with care and offer basketball fans a way to pay tribute to a living legend. The best part of these customs is the fact that Kobe’s likeness is placed on a pair of shoes produced by his legendary predecessor. There is a hint of torch passing when you look at the back to see a golden symbol instead of the Jordan silhouette to represent Kobe Bryant.

Tartan (what most people call plaid) is being used in many sneakers as of late. Puma continues the trend with the Puma Suede Tartan Pack.

This pack features two shoes. One of the colorways is black with red laces and details. And the other shoe is the reverse colorway. Both of the shoes feature a red tartan inner lining. I prefer the shoe that is primarily black. However both of them look pretty sweet. If you are looking to pick up a simple suede low sneaker, these would be a good choice.

You can get these shoes right now at Flauge for 9,975 yen, which is about $88 USD.

This is one of the first real photos of the Air Jordan XX3 (23) that has been online. Many Jordan fans were waiting for some actually pictures of this shoe after seeing mock-ups.

This sneaker may be the last numbered shoe in the series as the commmorative number 23 edition.

No official details about this shoe have been released and this is not expected to be the first colorway to drop on January 25th.Via heat23 at niketalk and Air-randy.com.
