For 20 years Kobe Bryant and his “Mamba Mentality” ruled the NBA from his seat of power in Los Angeles, bringing five NBA titles to Hollywood and restoring the Lakers as the Association’s preeminent franchise. Bryant averaged 25.0 points per game during his legendary career, winning the 2007-08 NBA MVP award and locking down a first-ballot entry into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Tragically, the NBA icon died in a helicopter crash in late January, making Bryant only the third winner of the NBA’s MVP award to pass away. These offered Nike Zoom VI sneakers are light blue and navy, with a yellow heel and white Bryant logo applied to the tongues. White Nike swooshes are applied to both sides of the shoes, which feature a black mamba-inspired snakeskin texture. Bryant has signed both shoes in silver marker. The shoes are a one of eight and come with a Panini hologram (PA 15823).
