Presented to NBA superstar Kobe Bryant during a recent Asia tour were these "Varsity Bones" Dunk Highs inspired by the theme of "What If" in a wooden box.
Made by SBTG, a Nike associated artist and customizer, these shoes were inspired by Kobe Bryant’s offer to attend Duke (Bryant chose to go to the NBA out of high school).
While the "Varsity Bones" Dunk Highs are pretty sweet, we can all be glad that Bryant chose the NBA instead (there are plenty of highlights to prove that).
