The decade-old sneaker NBA players can't stop wearing


Every time Anthony Davis has stepped onto the court this season, he has done so with his feet firmly entrenched in a piece of Los Angeles Lakers history.
Davis has worn only the Nike Kobe 4, a sneaker originally released in 2009. After being the face of several of Nike's high top Air Max models in recent seasons, some of which featured a custom unibrow logo and "Fear the Brow" verbiage, Davis has opted to instead adopt Bryant's sneaker for his first season in L.A.
And he's far from the only one.
Players at all positions, 102 to be exact, are lacing up a retro edition of the Kobe 4, making it one of the most popular individual sneakers in the NBA. Nearly 67% of NBA players wear Nike sneakers, and more of them are wearing Kobe-badged kicks than even the current lines for stars LeBron JamesKyrie Irving and Giannis Antetokounmpo.
