You're looking at a pair of the dopest Kobes ever.

No, really—some guy tried to stash over 20 racks of drugs in his "Carpe Diem" Kobe 11s while crossing the border into Arizona. 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection reports that an 18-year-old male from Nogales, Ariz., was stopped at a pedestrian crossing for inspection when agents discovered over a pound of heroin tucked inside the shoes.

According to the report, the drugs were valued at over $20,700 and had been molded into the shape of an insole.

These "Carpe Diem" Kobes are sold out from most retailers, but you can shop what's left of the Kobe 11 colorways from nike.com here.
