ESPN - Kobe Bryant bucks trend, goes with new low-top shoe

Posted by Tosh Meston on Sat, Dec 20

"I've been playing basketball all my life and I've worn high-tops for a lot of those games, and I've rolled my ankle plenty wearing high-tops. If you come down on somebody's foot, you're going to roll your ankle and there's not a lot you can do about it. But to have a low, I feel like it gives your foot more freedom to change direction."

-- Kobe Bryant on his new Nike low-top basketball shoe

Hey, there are low-tops and there are low-tops and this isn't that low. It will be interesting to see if more players go with tape and low shoes though. These puppies will supposedly retail for $120 starting in February.
