It’s been established by now that as far as footwear goes, DeMar DeRozan is a Kobe guy. DeMar wears the Mamba’s shoes pretty much exclusively now, and his sneaker collection is made up of more than just a few basic colorways.
Though the line has plenty of new iterations from which to choose from, DeMar is fond of a few older models. Everything from sneakers from Nike’s Kobe “Protro,” line to the Kobe A.D. that he debuted in summer league play, but he seems to really enjoy both the Kobe IX (9) and Kobe X (10), in particular the high-top, “Elite,” models, which is why it wasn’t too surprising to see him break out a dope colorway of the Kobe X Monday night in New Orleans.
