If you remember the Kobe II wings poster, this one might feel familiar.
For those of us who grew up watching Kobe, those ads were part of being a basketball kid. We saved the photos, wanted the shoes, and imagined ourselves playing in them.
This Cadets player was born in 2009. He wasn’t around for Kobe’s 2007 Manila visit or that campaign. Now he wears Kobe 9s, while a poster from our younger years becomes the inspiration for his own.
That’s what we wanted to capture. A memory from the basketball we grew up with, shared with a generation making their own memories today.
