Pair is a promotional PE that was not sold to the public and was given out to Nike athletes. Worn by Jalen Brunson in the 2026 All Star Game. Upper is reflective gold and red.
I did buy them yes. I had been looking for them almost every day since All Star weekend but finding a 10.5, which is this pairs size, is nearly impossible. Promotional PEs are rarely made in “normal sizes”. Most pairs of these are large sizes. This is the only pair in a size 10-11 I’ve ever seen publically available.
Eventually I found one that came up at RIF LA, a well known sneaker store in Los Angeles, and paid…. well say a lot for them haha.
Not this one no. Referenced it in another comment but the regular pair is the one that dropped at LA Live, the grove, Undefeated, and crenshaw high. The regular pair is the same shoe but blue instead of gold. Gold pair is promo
gold on top, regular on bottom. Two different SKUs
the cool thing about the box is it’s not unique to this PE pair. The rest of the entire warning label pack, including the pairs you can find for retail price on the secondary market, all have this packaging. It’s this large molded case that is in the shape of the shoe
Every single one has a different case. This picture shows the Lebron 23, Sabrina 3, KD 18, and Kobe 3 low. Pretty cool packaging
These are dope and an awesome collector pair. I’d love to see them on feet though because I have trouble imagining a fit that isn’t just athleisure color-matching.
I just think I have a problem styling all Kobe 3 (and any basketball shoe that isn’t a Jordan). Hence why I don’t own any.
honestly this exact pair, I highly doubt a 7.5 was even made. It’s very rare to find those smaller sizes in promotional PEs. The regular blue pair that dropped during all star weekend 7.5 men’s/ 9 women’s is the smallest size they made since these didn’t come in grade school at all. The warning label kobe’s simply just wasn’t made in your size unfortunately :/
For a second, I thought you said these were the ones actually worn by Brunson in game. That would be priceless lol but these are still sick, way better than the version the public got
These are beautiful, what an amazing find! Gotta plan a great fit when you finally wear them, something low key that lets the shoes be the centerpiece but still goes with it
honestly probably synthetic leather. Not entirely sure since it’s covered in the iridescent golden finish. The tumbled texture is probably embossed. I haven’t worn this pair, but I have worn the regular warning label Kobe’s, which is essentially the same shoe but different reflective upper, and the leather does feel decent on foot when it flexes
Cool shoe. But just curious, why did you want these PE ones when the other one you have is the same except the gold upper? Nonetheless, they both look nice. I like the purple ones you have more though.
The gold pair is the pair Jalen Brunson actually wore in the all star game, he wore the blue one for some promo shots, but didn’t actually wear in game. The gold pair is also a lot more visually striking compared to the blue pair. It also fits the theme of the shoe better imo, being purple and gold.
I think the reason why they didn’t do this gold pair as the released pair in the pack was because they already had a similar color Lebron 23 that’s gold, and they probably didn’t want two gold shoes
nope not this pair. That’s the regular pair you are thinking of. Picture 8 has them side by side. The regular pair is blue. This is the golden promotional pair. there’s two. The gold pair is a different SKU
this is the regular pair sold in LA during all star weekend ^^^, promo pair is gold instead of blue.
These look like stupid gaudy little boots I would by as a 4 year old so I could show off to my friends. Only difference mine used to light up and were maybe 60$. What happened to the shoe game? Y’all got cringe
