This sneaker is the closest you can get to Lil’ Dez, that nagging little puppet friend of Lebron James and Kobe Bryant featured in most Nike commercials. This sneaker is actually expected to make it big not only for its sleek design, but because Lil’ Dez has established quite a following already.

This Big Nike “Lil’ Dez” Quickstrike sneaker follows the success of the Flintstones sneaker, which took the sneaker world by storm. This sneaker gets the added attraction considering that the Los Angeles Lakers, and Kobe Bryant captured the NBA Finals Trophy.

This sneaker sports an uber red leather upper, with matching red Nike Swoosh on the side panels and perforated red toe box. It is accented by purple on the inner lining and the tongue tag, where you will also find the image of Lil’ Dez with boxes of Nike sneakers on both sides.

The outer area of the ankle sports the “Congrats Kobe” text while the back of the tongue sports the “MVP” and “24” on the right and left sneakers respectively. If you’re head over heels with the puppet Lil’ Dez, or for that matter Kobe, then don’t miss the matching shirt.

The Big Nike “Lil’ Dez” Quickstrike sneaker insoles has the sentence “Kobe do you have any new shoes, can I see your shoes?” written on it.  This sneaker is a fitting tribute not only to Kobe’s 4th NBA Championship, but also to the rising popularity of Lil’ Dez.
