The Los Angeles Lakers Unveil Kobe and Gigi Bryant Statue

Today, the Lakers unveiled the highly anticipated second (of 3) Kobe Bryant statues outside the Crypto.com center in downtown Los Angeles. The statue is inspired by a courtside photo taken on December 29, 2019, of Kobe and Gigle Bryant at a Los Angeles Lakers vs. Dallas Mavericks game. The viral photo captured a heartwarming moment between the late father and daughter at their last Lakers game. In his post-retirement years, Kobe’s passion for women’s basketball had become well-documented, and it’s fitting that the statue features his orange WNBA hoodie. Like the photo, the statue shows Kobe wearing his NXT 360 “Infrared” and Gigi wearing the Kobe 4 Protro “Snakeskin.”

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
