Kobe Bryant meets Robert Rodriguez courtesy of Nike

Yeah, we know. It's a commercial pitch. It's "Selling Out to the Man". Sure, we get it.

But we are also big fans of Robert Rodriguez. He's a one of a kind movie director who has a pretty unique view on just about everything.

With that in mind, he was commissioned to make a "Mini-Film" with Kobe Bryant to use as a pitch for Bryant's new Nike shoes. And yeah, it's pretty cool. If you've got Danny Trejo, Bruce Willis and Kanye West co-starring in a Robert Rodriguez production, it has to be cool.
