Kobe Bryant’s Festive Drop Finds Latest Home as NBA Legend Receives Care Package From Vanessa Bryant

The re-launch of Kobe Bryant‘s sneakers has been a massive occasion for hoop fans around the world. Due to his unparalleled popularity, and the demand for the shoes at a premium, it was an easy fix for Nike to adopt. But, with Vanessa Bryant finally on board, the team has gone above and beyond to make the occasion special.

As a result, various packages with special holiday-launch sneakers made their way to various corners of the basketball universe. Whether it be former teammates in Pau Gasol or the Los Angeles Lakers legend’s connection to California in USC, pictures of the packages have been making waves online.

Now, another name joins the list to receive a special edition of the Reverse Grinch from the festive drop. NBA veteran and arguably the shiftiest dribbler ever, Jamal Crawford was the latest name to receive a package from Vanessa Bryant and Nike.

Taking to Instagram, the Crawsover would put out a special token of appreciation for the Mamba and Mambacita Sports Group. In the picture, Crawford’s love for basketball is evident clear as day. Specifically, his love for sneakers.

In the background, a special shoe is up inside a hallowed glass box. Next to it, is a book, “The Ultimate Sneaker Book”, that acts as a guide and encyclopedia for sneakerheads. Perhaps, the most poetic is the presence in the Los Angeles Clippers legend’s picture of The Mamba Mentality, an inside look into the work ethic and preparation routine of one Kobe Bean Bryant.

But, taking center stage is the beautiful Reverse Grinch shoe that the 3x Sixth Man of the Year received.

The design is fresh with its color scheme and its nuance. Owing to the Mamba moniker, the shoe boasts a snake pattern atop the Bright Crimson upper. The scaly design receives another highlight in the form of Electric Green on the upper.

Moving along, the sole has a Zoom Air unit which is flexible as well as containing the foam formula. Moreover, the traction pattern has also seen a major scale-down with this version of the show. As a result, the shoe is lighter than it ever was before.

The release has been a rather unique way to kickstart the festive season. From the Black Mamba to Santa, the legend of Bryant has come a long way.
