Note that these are not signature shoes but nike air max shoes designed mainly for Nike's basketball players to wear in Beijing 2008. Every player have personalized sneakers with characteristics and colorways related to the player and its National Team. Kobe Bryant is the main face for this shoe but other stars like Manu Ginobili, Pau Gasol and Dirk Nowitzki among many others have their own version of it.

These nike air max 2009 shoes look extremely slick and should be a hit once the Olympics begin and Kobe, arguably one of the biggest names in all of the Olympic sports, begins to dominate the competition. Number ten, Kobe's Team USA number, is featured prominently on these shoes. There is also a Team USA logo on the inside of the shoe and a Kobe logo on the tongue of the shoe.Kobe and the Lakers are only one win away from their first NBA Finals appearance since 2004 when they had an "unfortunate outing" against the Pistons. For the first part of Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals, Kobe laced in the new NBA Basketball Shoes. In a special release at the House of Hoops and online at KB24.com only 24 pairs of a special PE makeup of the Nike Hyperdunks were released in a special, commemorative clear plastic box. Much thanks to Sneaker for providing us with photos of this special release.
