Kobe Bryant, the "Black Mamba," has left an indelible mark on the world of sports and beyond. His legacy transcends basketball, making him a global icon revered by many. For Los Angeles residents, Bryant isn't just an NBA star but a hero who brought glory to the city, leading the LA Lakers to five NBA championship victories. On September 1st, the Los Angeles Dodgers will hold a Lakers Night to honor the legendary basketball team and commemorate the late-great Bryant and his remarkable contribution to the sport and the city.
The Dodgers have planned a special tribute for the fans on Lakers Night, a custom Kobe Bryant Dodgers jersey giveaway that embodies the spirit of the beloved athlete. The jersey features a black base overlayed with a snakeskin graphic print, a nod to Bryant's "Black Mamba" nickname. Both of Kobe's iconic numbers, 8 and 24, are featured on the front and back, respectively.
Before the Dodgers celebrate Kobe, Nike is set to relaunch the Nike Kobe line on Kobe Day (August 24). Following the launch of the Nike Kobe 8 Protro “Triple White” on this day, we are expecting a variety of Kobe sneakers in the coming months, including the iconic “Reverse Grinch” Kobe 6 Protro and a new “Black Gold” Kobe 4 Proto.
If you’re interested in securing this commemorative jersey, you can purchase tickets to the game which will take place on September 1, 2023, against the Atlanta Braves.
