We knew that Nike's commemorative "Black Mamba" Kobe collection was going to be special, but it looks like the most desirable sneaker of the bunch may have been saved for last.
The "FTB" Kobe 11, which was worn by Kobe Bryant last night as he took to the hardwood for the last time, is selling for crazy amounts of money on eBay. The sneakers were released yesterday as the final drop of the "Black Mamba" pack and retailed for $200, but they're bringing in as much as six times that on eBay.
A look through the sold listings shows that many pairs of the "FTB" Kobe 11s are moving for $1,000 and up, and we wouldn't be at all shocked if prices continued to climb as they start to dry up. Although the price is high, these are literally a piece of basketball history, so there's probably a number of non-sneakerheads grabbing them up too.
According to ESPN's Darren Rovell, Nike only made 2,000 pairs of the "FTB" Kobe 11s, some of which were given to courtside seat holders at last night's game.
