Kobe’s preference to change up from the “Feet You Wear” styles he wore previously led him to rock the adidas Forum 2000, an updated version of the classic Forum style first released in 1984. Bryant ditched the KB8 III rather quickly and saw career-highs across every category in the adidas Forum 2000 for the 1999-00 regular season, as well as a few playoff games.
This shoe served as a precursor to Kobe’s next signature shoes, some of the most polarizing in the adidas x Kobe Bryant partnership.
The adidas Forum 2000 is currently unavailable at retailers, but you can find the original adidas Forum style at StockX, GOAT, and Flight Club.
