It’s crazy to think that Kobe Bryant is over 15 years deep in the league. You remember when he was fresh off prom with Brandy, sporting the baby fro, and had to have his parents sign his first contract because he wasn’t even of legal age. The road since then hasn’t always been so easy—some big playoff airballs, so-called beef with you know who, and father time creeping up—being Kobe has never been easy. When it’s all said and done though, it is easy to agree that he is one of the best to ever do it. One ring short of Mike and still in pursuit of happiness, KB is anything but done. To help celebrate his birthday (tomorrow) we decided to go through his best kicks since he entered the league—from adidas, to PE Js, and his own signature series with Nike—we present The 24 Best Kobe Bryant Sneakers of All Time. Hit the jump and let us know which pair is a must for any basketball collection.

23. Nike Air Zoom Huarache 2K5 "Kobe"

Year: 2005

We all thought that after a full year of exclusive Jordans and another season of exclusive Huaraches that we were ready to see Kobe start his own Roman numeral count but he took one for the team and continued to help push Nike's hottest team shoe. But we all knew these were Kobe's shoe, no need for the name.
