12) Adidas Kobe 2

The Adidas Kobe 2 from 2001, at $125, was ahead of its time with its bulky, futuristic aesthetic, reflecting Kobe Bryant's innovative approach to basketball. Featuring a visible air unit in the heel, this shoe combined performance with a unique design. Some admired its seamless aesthetics, whereas many criticized it for being bulky. The shoe, however, did not meet the expectations of the fans.
