The Kobe line from Adidas never let us down, so when the Kobe III was scrapped people were upset. DeFY. is fortunate enough to give you guys a look at a rare sample of the Adidas Kobe III in a colorway that has never been seen before. Pictures of these have surfaced over the years but never in this black and purple colorway. These bad boys are completely legit and we thought we would pass a little info on to all viewers. It seems as though some random sizes have found their way to eBay over the past couple of years (I’ve seen threads posted up on Sneakerfreaker and and old thread on Niketalk.). I was able to speak with a legitimate unnamed source on the issue and this is what he said “nothing outside of a size 9 for the Kobe III was ever produced and no shoes were made for Kobe himself.” So if you own a pair of these Kobe III’s in anything other than a size 9 we’re sorry to break the news, their fake. So now onto the good stuff, below is a picture of an official pair of Adidas Kobe III samples that were never released. Enjoy!
