Kobe Bryant’s Nike signature shoes second in domestic sales

Over the last year, LeBron James sold significantly more shoes in the United States than Kobe Bryant.

James sold $300 million worth of his Nike signature shoes domestically, according to Kurt Badenhausen of Forbes.com.

Bryant was second on the list at $50 million for his Nike signature shoes, followed by Carmelo Anthony’s Jordan brand ($40 million) and Kevin Durant’s Nike ($35 million).

Dwight Howard’s Adidas brand shoes brought in $5 million, on par with John Wall’s Reebok shoe. Derrick Rose, with Adidas, sold $25 million in the United States.

While Bryant’s shoes have dipped over the last year, he’s the NBA’s biggest star in China. His shoes also sell “briskly� in Asia.

Bryant has been with Nike since 2003 after making the jump from Adidas.
