Bryant shared a sneak peek of 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 late NBA legend Kobe Bryant as part of a new collaboration with Nike.

On Instagram, Bryant shared that 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 highlighted by Kobe’s signature on the back, his basketball number 24 and “Girl Dad” written in white font on the inside of the shoe’s tongue.

Bryant captioned one of the posts featuring the shoes, writing: “For 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 girls and the light he brought to women’s sports.”

Earlier this month, Bryant honored his 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 his 18th birthday.

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

“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 with boys and girls from local LA community organizations,” Vanessa wrote in the caption while sharing photos from her time at the camp.
