Rock Lee was my first Naruto cosplay as I knew his type of ninja training was martial arts based. His character was also inspired by Bruce Lee, one of my idols. So I had of fun with this character. The outfit I miraculously found at a thrift store, got new sandals and covered them with socks, however this made them slippery on floors. I then ordered some proper ninja sandals online. The orange leggings were just orange socks at first, then I had better ones made by friend Smidge. Wig was found at a costume shop. I wore this from 2006 to 2008. In addition I added a green vest to this costume and became Gai sensei.
