Good Friday last week marked the release of Kobe Bryant’s Air Zoom Kobe II, his second signature shoe from Nike. This event started off with party consisting of silent auctions, live DJ’s, and some food and drink at The Point in Hollywood. At the strike of midnight, the first Air Zoom Kobe II’s went on sale which was followed by a 24 hour basketball game benefiting Kobe’s Vivo Foundation charity. The theme of the night was 24, as the 24 pairs of shoes were destined to be autographed by Kobe, 24 hours to raise money, and 24 chances to play on the court with Kobe. Look for AZKII’s to drop at your local retailer!
