AJ3 Retro Kobe Bryant PE

AJ3 Retro Kobe Bryant PE

Kobe’s Free Agent Season on a Jordan 3

During the 2002-03 NBA season, Kobe Bryant played without a shoe deal. Jordan Brand supplied him with Lakers-colored Player Exclusives, and the Air Jordan 3 Retro Kobe Bryant PE became one of the most coveted sneakers in collecting history. White tumbled leather upper, grey elephant print on the toe and heel. Court Purple hits the top lace eyelet and midsole. University Gold shows up on the lower eyelets, tongue padding, and the Jumpman logo on the tongue. Originally a friends-and-family release as part of the Kobe Pack alongside an Air Jordan 8.

The purple and gold on a J3 just works. Gold Jumpman outlined in purple on the tongue is a detail you notice right away. Elephant print is standard grey with clean edges. This is a pair most people never got a chance to own at retail, and resale on originals runs five figures. Our batch puts that colorway within reach. See it on the Jordan 3 reps page. Full collection at shoe reps.
