Nice Kicks, an Instagram handle that focuses on the world of sneakers, shared a post featuring photographs of Bryant and Pelinka, who attended the event donning the Kobe 3 Protros. However, Bryant's version was a rare piece, as highlighted by the account's caption for the post.

"Vanessa Bryant wore a 1-of-2 'Diamond' Nike Kobe 3 Protro to the Mamba League Invitational," the post read. "The pair features 5575 Swarovski crystals per Jacques Slade."

Bryant's sneakers resembled a typical Kobe 3 Protro, but instead of the standard mesh, her version featured crystal detailing. The toe and heel portions of the shoe were also covered in gems. Even the Kobe Bryant logo on the tongue of the sneakers was styled with the same jeweled design.

On the other hand, Pelinka wore a pair of the Kobe 3 Protro 'Halo' to the event, which was similar to Vannessa's but without the gems. The shoe that the Lakers' general manager wore was released on Saturday to commemorate what would have been the Laker legend's 47th birthday.

Held to honor the five-time NBA champion on the day he would have turned 47, the event brought the LA community together to honor Mamba's legacy and featured young talent across both boys’ and girls’ divisions competing in the tournament.
