After the summer of 2002, Kobe paid a reported $8 Million dollars to get out of his adidas contract resulting in the biggest sneaker free agencies we’ve ever seen in the NBA. The stipulations of the buyout stated that Kobe couldn’t sign with another brand until 2003, meaning that during the 2002-2003 NBA season, Kobe Bryant — the biggest name in the game at that time, had no sneaker contract, and could wear any shoe in which he wanted to play in. Brands were fighting tooth-and-nail to secure the Mamba’s John Hancock for season 2003-2004, resulting in numerous PE issues sent to Kobe for consideration. One of the Holy Grails from that season, his reebok Drkgrn Question “Yellow Toe” PE, was teased back in September last year by Allen Iverson and was originally set to release in 2020 — but now we can confirm that the release has been scrapped in honor of Kobe’s untimely and tragic passing.

@briansnadav has today given us a look at what would have been, including shipping-inspired packaging (addressed to the Lakers practice facility), sample hang tags, and an NDA that replicates what Kobe would have received back in the day. While it is shattering to think we can’t celebrate Kobe through something as special as this release, it is understandable from every aspect.

Though not much was said publicly about the shoe following the cancellation announcement, but footwear designer Frank Cooke, who had a hand in getting reebok Drkgrn to produce to the long-coveted colorway, expressed optimism that it would eventually make its way to retail. Now, we have confirmation that’s indeed the case, as per Sole Collector.

This fall, reebok Drkgrn will release an “Alternates” Pack featuring three shoes linked to alternate NBA uniforms. The “Yellow Toe” Question represents the Lakers’ Sunday whites. Another Question will be decked out in black and gold as a nod to the 1997 Philadelphia 76ers uniform change. There’s also a red and black Kamikaze II (debuted on the court by Montrezl Harrell earlier this month) that takes its cues from the late-90s Sonics alternate red uniforms. Lakers guard Quinn Cook debuted the “Yellow Toe” Question in the tunnel ahead of Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals.

A first look at the special packaging for the Kobe reebok Drkgrn Question “Yellow Toe” has landed. Paris were originally meant to be housed in a PE-style shipment box, just as they would have arrived at Kobe’s doorstep during his sneaker free agency (seen further below). But since the passing of the late, great Black Mamba, reebok Drkgrn has reassessed the release to include a special 3/8 split box which read “The 2 Legends Last 4ever” reebok Drkgrn Question Mid “Kobe”. The thematic is carried across to a Lakers-colored armband, and two wrist bands, with the box’s tissue wrap also following suit. Grab a detailed look at the pair and its boxing further below, and stay tuned for Reeboks plans for its release.
