Vanessa Bryant and her daughter Natalia both wore custom Nike Kobe 10 Protros while attending this weekend's Mamba Invitational in Los Angeles, an event built around Kobe Bryant's legacy. Both were on hand to help award championship medals to the tournament's winning teams.
Vanessa's pair leaned into full custom territory, finished in a pearlescent white with a striking floral piece attached at the toe. The design featured silver detailing and blue accents shaped into a rose and branch pattern, giving the shoe a jewelry finish rather than a typical sneaker.
Natalia's pair took a cleaner approach. Hers stayed in a crisp white colorway with bold black "MAMBA" lettering stamped across the side, paired with a black Sheath logo on the heel. Both pairs appear to be built on the same silhouette that's set to officially release later this month in a triple white "Halo" colorway.
The Mamba Invitational has become a tradition for the Bryant family, bringing together some of the country's top young basketball talent while keeping Kobe Bryant's memory front and center. Vanessa in particular has made a habit of showing up in standout custom Kobe footwear at the event each year.
Custom Nike Kobe 10 Protros
This isn't the first time Vanessa has turned heads with custom Kobe Bryant footwear at the Mamba Invitational. Past appearances have included a pair of Kobe 3 Protros covered in thousands of Swarovski crystals, continuing a pattern of elaborate, one-of-one tributes tied to the event.
Natalia has also become more visible within the Kobe Bryant Brand rollout in recent years, regularly appearing alongside her mother at events and in promotional material tied to new releases.
Custom pairs like these never make it to retail, but they carry real weight within the Kobe fan base. Each design usually incorporates a personal detail, whether through material choice, imagery, or branding specific to the wearer.
With the Kobe 10 Protro's official launch just weeks away, seeing both Vanessa and Natalia in early custom versions adds another layer of attention to the model before it even hits shelves.
