Zee Germans are back at it with the adidas Top Ten 2000, shown here in a "Black/Regal Purple" makeup. The shoe that Kobe donned as an NBA infant returns in classic Lakers away colors. Known for its "Feet You Wear" technology, the Top 10 2000 was a launchpad for the company as the Three Stripes took bold steps towards a new frontier. It also helped No. 8 get off the ground, both figuratively and literally. A strong performance shoe that accentuated Bryant's flair with its over-the-top design and sure to turn heads both on and off the court, this silhouette begs for attention. Optional 'fro and Brandy prom date currently unavailable, but you can score the shoe for $110 right now from adidas.
