With the Olympics right around the corner, shoe companies are releasing the shoes that will be featured in Beijing. These Nikes are the kicks that Kobe Bryant will wear for Team USA as he attempts to help the United States reclaim the gold in 2008. In 2004, Argentina won the gold medal in Mens Basketball.

These shoes look extremely slick and should be a hit once the Olympics begin and Kobe, arguably one of the biggest names in all of the Olympic sports, begins to dominate the competition. Number ten, Kobe’s Team USA number, is featured prominently on these shoes. There is also a Team USA logo on the inside of the shoe and a Kobe logo on the tongue of the shoe.
