ADIDAS EQT ELEVATION

Kobe Bryant is considered one of the best players of all time, but in 1997 he was an untested rookie. Adidas brought him in as a new signature player. 

1997 all star weekend. The dunk competition. Featuring stiff competition from players like Ray allen and Chris Carr, Kobe Bryant would have to be great. Wearing the purple Adidas Equipment Elevation, Kobe threw down his first two dunks to limited fanfare. His last dunk would have to be amazing. He dribbled up and made a high-flying between the legs dunk. The dunk was legendary. It was the turning point for his career.

Kobe Bryant brought the EQT Elevation to the history books with him when he made that dunk. The Zig Zag pattern on the midsole, and the deep purple on the upper were representations of what Kobe was. Kobe was young, new, and had the potential to be a legend. He was part of a dynasty, The Lakers became titans with Kobe on the roster. 

A living legend, Kobe’s rookie year is remembered with that dunk, and on his feet, the EQT Elevation.
