Kobe Bryant’s days in Los Angeles Lakers purple and gold came to a close in 2016, but the legendary baller’s on-court legacy will live on for decades to come.
Another area where Bryant’s contributions cannot be understated is his signature sneaker line with Nike. Along with designer Eric Avar, Bryant helped usher in the trend of low-top hoops footwear, which was partially inspired by the former NBA star’s love for the game of soccer.
