Vanessa Bryant announces special ‘Girl Dad’ sneakers in Kobe’s honor

Bryant shared a look at the special edition sneakers on Instagram

As Vanessa Bryant continues to keep her husband’s memory alive, she recently announced a pair of “Girl Dad” sneakers in honor of the late NBA legend Kobe Bryant, as part of a new collaboration with Nike.

On Instagram, Bryant shared the special edition sneakers – which are available just in time for Father’s Day – are olive green in color with black laces and feature the iconic Nike swoosh logo, also in black. The shoes are marked with Kobe’s signature on the back, his basketball number 24 and “Girl Dad” written in white script in the tongue of the shoe.

Bryant captioned one of the posts showing off the shoes, writing, “To our most precious girl daddy. This Father’s Day we celebrate Kobe’s commitment and love for our daughters Natalia, Gianna, Bianka and Capri with the Kobe 4 Protro ‘Girl Dad’.”

In another post, she wrote: “GIRL DAD 💚🧡💚🧡 Grateful for the passion Kobe had for our daughters and the light he brought to women’s sports.”

Earlier this month, Bryant honored her late daughter Gigi, who died in the same small plane crash as Kobe in January 2020, by hosting a basketball camp on what would have been her 18th birthday.

On Saturday, May 4, Bryant, 42, shared a post on Instagram, revealing that she and her family were hosting a girls and boys basketball camp.

“In honor of Gianna’s 18th birthday, we hosted a special @MambaMambacitaSports Skills Academy basketball camp with @nikela, @lakers and @uscwbb to share my daughter’s PLAY GIGI’S WAY™ spirit for boys and girls from local community organizations in LA,” wrote Vanessa in the caption as she shares photos from her time at camp.

“We loved seeing their passion for basketball by embracing joy, curiosity and competitiveness while never taking any opportunity for granted, just like Gigi. #PlayGigisWay❤️#HappyBirthdayGigi #18,” she continued, signing off with Gianna’s birthday of May 1.

Bryant also posted a montage video of her time at camp on Instagram on Sunday, May 5. In that clip, she said in a speech, “We’re here to celebrate Gigi’s 18th birthday. So I’m so happy to see you all here to play with joy and curiosity as she always did.

She added that the kids would also play basketball and get “Gianna’s brand new shoes,” referring to the new Nike Kobe 8 Mambacita sneakers.
