In October 2015, basketball legend Kobe Bryant paid homage to former President Barack Obama through a special edition of the Kobe 10 Elite sneakers. These shoes were designed using the team colors that represented President Obama's high school in Honolulu. The unique silhouette of the sneakers showcases a sleek all-black Flyknit upper, complemented by striking accents of Blue Lagoon and Volt, which can also be found on the translucent blue outsole. To further emphasize the significance of this collaboration, the tongue of the sneakers features a Latin phrase that translates to "history is life's teacher," along with a vibrant Volt eagle. Kobe Bryant's tribute to Barack Obama through this distinctive footwear highlights the fusion of sports and politics, creating a remarkable piece of sneaker history.
