Even in death, Kobe Bryant's legacy continues to have the kind of influence many can only hope and dream for. A viral clip posted on YouTube by StrictlyBBall on November 30, 2024 ranked every current NBA player's signature shoe by how often they are worn in the NBA.
The clip is then narrowed down to the top 10 and sitting on top is Kobe's iconic Nike Kobe. The iconic shoe has a total wear time of 24,907 minutes, which is five times more than second placed, WNBA champion, Sabrina Ionescu's Nike Sabrinas which has been worn 5,725 minutes.

Nike releases Kobe Bryant custom Air Force 1
Fresh off releasing the Nike Kobe 6 "Grinch" cleats on Thanksgiving, Nike treated fans to another Kobe Byrant special. The sports giant released the Kobe x Nike Air Force 1 'Lakers Home' yesterday, December 6 to much fanfare.
The shoe is available for online shoppers via the Nike SNKRS app, Foot Lockers, and other selected retailers at $130 in adult sizes. Given the popularity of the shoe, it has a good chance of selling out.
If that happens, the shoe can still be bought on verified resale sites like GOAT, eBay, StockX, and KICKS CREW. Although prices may be slightly higher than those on the official store.
The shoe pays homage to his historic career with the Los Angeles Lakers where he spent his whole 20-year career and won all five of his NBA rings. It also features Kobe Bryant's signature Sheath logo and jersey number, both stitched onto the heel.
