Mache x Custom Kobe Bryant Air Jordan III

Kobe Bryant has often been compared to Michael Jordan in most aspects of his game and now customizer MACHE brings them together by adding a little bit of Kobe Bryant to the Air Jordan III. One of the most recognizable features of this pair of Air Jordan 3 is the drawings of Kobe on each of the sides of the shoes, the pictures are from when Kobe just started out and won the Slam Dunk Contest to some of his signature high flying dunks.

Even the Air Jordan Jumpman symbol on the back of the shoe has been replaced with Kobe Bryant’s logo. The shoes have been designed just for Kobe Bryant in his size 14. Via NT.

  5. This shiet is whack! First of all… Its some FAKE ASS JORDANS! SECOND, He prolly used a permanent sharpie for the colors! THIRD, you can still see the Jordan Logo on the back of the shoe! Nice artwork though

  8. man whoever did this should go f**k himself. Kobe can ever compare to Jordan. His sneaker doesnt even sell, even Lebron does better then him. This person not only rocks fake, he’s a damn shame.

  16. How on earth did he come up with this crazy design?! Who could ever think about putting kobe dunking on the back of a shoe! How original! Anyone can think of this "design" in their sleep.Good job making these Jordans into Kobes…no one noticed the jumpman symbol on the back because the customizer replaced it with Kobe's symbol.Kudos for the fine detail on the Kobe paintings on the heel, but is the yellow suppose to overlap the cement and go on the actual white part of the shoe?Fine detail on that…maybe he should of tapped off the shoe more, because it doesn't look clean.He took great detail into painting each detail on Kobe; he probably painted his eyelashes on him, but couldn't he have gone a little bit more crazy with the colors?The shoe itself is like a mullet, party in the back and business in the font.If you go crazy on the heel then do it for the whole shoe, otherwise you look like you like you aren't completely finished with the final product.Thats just my insight.

    As for the people who say, "don't hate because you can't do something like this" I hope your feelings weren't hurt that badly because of the negative criticism some people left. You and I know there isn't such a thing as negative criticism…just good ones!Right? I bet your pillow is pretty salty from those tears you cried over people's own opinions.

    I am glad that you made these Kobe's size, because I can't wait to see him wear these…when he cuts his grass.

  17. IF I WERE SEEING THESE FOR THE FIRST TIME WITHOUT READING THE INFORMATION, I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THESE WERE FAKE. BUT TO GET TO THE POINT THESE ARE NOT THAT RAW.

  19. Can we please just comment on the shoes? First off these aren't fake, they are customs please read the article. Second of all, don't hate on these because none of you guys could do something like this if so, do it and lets see it. Lastly, just keep the comments relevant to the shoes and show some respect, stop all this bs stuff. If you don't have anything good to say don't say anything. You must have too much time on your hands to write some stupid comments especially 3 of them in a row. So go out and get something done and stop being dumb about it.

  21. Kobe is a joke from his shoes to the game He should never be apart of Jordan on the shoes or compared to if anyone is coming close to His AIRNESS is Lebron b/c he makes people around him better and well Kobe just likes to take advantage of young girls He is a joke and I cant wait til he leaves the NBA

  22. Other than still seeing the Jumpman imprint left on the shoes, these are actually pretty clean. But how could he not still see thst shit??? And to try to cover it up with that Kobe logo thinking we couldnt notice? It dont matter how clean you make it as long as you overlook stuff like that it just make the whole thing look soooooo TACKY.

  23. It would only look right if the "AIR" was taken off of the back along with the Jumpman. Either way, nice attempt and nice idea, but poor execution.

  25. First of all, I'd take these III's over Kobe III's any day. & Stop hatin on Kobe. He's a good basket ball player… I mean he made it to the NBA didn't he??? He's been MVP a couple of times and he's been in every all-star game.

    If MJ can be friends with Kobe and can go golfing with the man… then why can't his own fans?

  27. These are ugly i'm mad they decided to take one of jordans shoes and not kobes to make this custom… Kobe doesn't deserve to even be compared to jordan yet alone be put on his shoe. Please don't disrespect jordan and his shoes.

  32. these are CORNY.

    yeah so what "the Air Jordan Jumpman symbol on the back of the shoe has been replaced with Kobe Bryant’s logo." is that supposed to be a good thing? It looks like Jordan is attempting to bust through the back of the heel and dunk these into the garbage. maybe its just me but i wonder why people are hyping a pair of shoes that have nothing going for them. maybe its the yellow paint that did not turn out clean? or perhaps the jordan logo thats protruding through the white paint? or maybe it's the creative idea of putting KOBE on the shoe?!?!.. who would have thought!!!!

  35. Kobe on a classic Jordan shoe…thats just DISS-respectful! no one can ever be compared to MJ

    Reply

  36. that comment about the shoe looking like "a mullet" was wayy too funny. Yea, it does…..should've put that nuclear reactor Kobe symbol on the front toe box, too. that way it would've balanced out the shoe's artwork.

    Personally, I would've never wrecked a Jordan III sneaker by doing this. And Kobe is dope…..he's the best baller on the planet and will do major damage in the Olympics next year…so pls stop hatin on him! He's the closest there is to the next MJ like Dwight Howard is to the next Shaq!

  37. Sigh…Yes, this is Mache…and yes, I made these. I have been in the customs game for awhile now and constructive criticism comes with every piece I put out and these are no different. I'm sure most of you lazy "kids" looked at the pics and didn't read the article. These were made for Kobe, they are in his house as we speak. As for the blasphemy of doing a Kobe theme on some J's I did them on the III's because it is Kobe's favorite Jordan shoe…and the flat panels were perfect for the design. I did use Andre Treiner's idea with the MJ dunk contest III's as inspitation for these….and for those who thought they were fakes…wow. Do your homework before you decide to get tough on the computer at your parents house. I'm out.

  39. Wtf are they thinking!!!! these are name jordans for a reason!!!! why would you put kobe on some 1 elses shoe? now you got kobe lookin stupid!!!!!

    Reply

  42. clever idea, but i've seen better stuff from mache before. i love the 3s, but you can still see the jumpman a little under the kobe logo, and i personally would have made the cement yellow with purple cracks, instead of grey with yellow cracks…..harder to do, but would have looked a lot more poppin.

    and lets not start a kobe vs. mike battle…..they both talented, mike's a legend and kobe's just short of legend status, but kobe isn't one for teamwork, and a selfish basketball player doesn't get love.

  56. these shoes are whack because you can see the Jumpman on the back so they need to get with the shit and do something right and kobe can not be compared to jordan any day or any time he sucks. Jordan is the best player ever that is why his shoes sell the first they come out but kobes dont.

  69. Yes the kicks are very obviously fake. For one thing if they whre real the jumpman logo thats suspose to be on the back wouldn't be lega. Secound Kobe would've rocked them on the court. Third He's signed with nike not Jordan brand. Not saying they couldn't make a real pair of kobe j's, but the colors are nice. Anyone could tell they're fakes.

    Reply

  70. Also ut looks like the person who desirned them pulled the actual jumpman logo off the shoes, and thene drew the kobe symbol on the shoe. I think the shoe is real, with fake designs on them some one drew on. There suspose to be the elphent print white retro 3's

  72. Yo kobe shoes are the best they have wiring on them to give u support so dont be haten… And if you like jordans thoes are so heavy no afence jordan but they are… So I recamend Kobe bryant shoes for you all ok and go buy thoes today they are the best on the court!!!!!!!!!!!!!
