8/24 is just one of the days to celebrate one of the greatest to ever play the sport, Kobe Bryant. For Today's project Vick and a team of creative masterminds rebuild a 1 of 1 Jordan 3 Low that was created and gifted to Kobe Bryant when he signed with Nike in 2003. Here's the catch.. These specific sneakers were only ever seen in pictures, 2 pictures to be exact! With only 2 reference photos and only a couple Jordan 3 Lows in the world, this Dream Team was in for a week full of challenges.
To kick off the project Vick Almighty and Brian reached out to Mark Smith himself to get his insight and blessing. Mark Smith was the VP of Innovations at Nike and was the mastermind behind the legendary laser era. Mark Smith was able to give us an additional reference photo and his insight on what materials to use plus his blessing and once we had that it was off to the races for this literal "DREAM" of a project.
With the blessings from the man himself it was time to compile a team that can make this entire project possible. We recruited Jake, better known as Dank & Co, who is a master sneaker builder and customizer. Brian, who is one of the biggest sneaker collectors in the game and Julian, who is an absolute genius with graphic design and laser engraving.
The details on this sneaker are what set the whole thing apart. The detailed filigree is one of the most intricate designs that we have ever seen. Plus the 8 ball on the side to represent the number 8 that Kobe wore for the first decade of his career before switching to the legendary 24. Finally the tongue had an incredible shield to represent the warrior that Kobe was on and off the court.
7 days of work went into this build, but over 500 total hours went into planning, execution, filming and editing. This project had it's fair share of obstacles and challenges, but it was all worth it to bring this incredible sneaker to life while working to make Mark Smith proud and to honor the legend Kobe Bryant the right way!
Overall this project was a literal dream! "My favorite part was getting to show Mark Smith and thank him for his contributions to the project. As well as thank him for inspiring me throughout my whole career." -Vick Almighty
Vick and the team are considering this one of the biggest project of their careers. Do you think we honored Kobe Bryant?
