Vanessa Bryant 1-of-1 PEs

With valentine's day creeping up on us, Vanessa Bryant took to Instagram to reveal three pairs of exclusive Kobes that won’t be released for retail. Instead, it appears as though the First Lady of the Kobe Bryant estate has been gifted a few Vanessa PE’s. Initially Vanessa posted a pair of Nike Kobe 8 Protro “Wifey” PE, a gorgeous red pair embroidered with Burgundy hearts and a bold white swoosh ❤️

These Wifey PE’s are really different and beautiful, obviously they’re going a lil heavy handed with the valentines day imagery, but I LOVE love so I personally think these are fire. Pretty crazy we will most likely never see these on court in any capacity. Not even P.J. Tucker can get his hands on these bad boys 😉

The other pair are even more striking if you can image that. A Nike Kobe 4 Protro PE featuring hot pink tumbled leather. Wow these are hot, no pun intended. Hot pink is such an underrated color, these almost remind me of those Rick Owens Pink Geobasket. Take a look 🎀

I like these a lot more than the Rick Owens obviously, more just a color pallet comparison. Last up, Vanessa also shared a new cheetah print Kobe 8 PE. The hits just keep coming! In my opinion, these have the most lifestyle vibe of the three Vanessa shared. Big fan 🐆

Once again, these Vanessa PE’s are a gift from Nike that will most likely never see the court. While it is a bummer that these will probably remain on ice for eternity, it’s cool that 1-of-1 shoes still exist in the year 2024 🙏

What’s Happening

• Eggplant Foamposites are now dropping on February 29th for $240

• Air Jordan 4 “Military Blue” release date moved up to April 27th. Huge

• I don’t see much specifics about the release, but these custom ‘Lavender’ Kobe 8’s are insanely cool

• Josh Giddey wore custom Kobe 4s the other night. Thoughts?
