The pain of fellow sportsmen, celebrities, and fans is deep and felt these days as the news about the passing of the great NBA champion Kobe Bryant, his teenage daughter Gianna and seven other people spread like a wildfire. On January 26th, 2020, Kobe along with his daughter whose nickname was Gigi and the other people dies when their helicopter crashed in Calabasas, California. There was no escape, and due to the fog, the aircraft crashed causing a fire that the rescuers could not help in any way but ascertain the death of all the people on board. The whole world, especially the one of sport, has been in shock for days, and nobody seems to resign themselves to the death of a real legend. Kobe was the American basketball player highly adored in Italy as well, where he had taken his first steps, following his father Joe. Between 1984 and 1991, Kobe changed locations across the country from Rieti to Reggio Calabria, to Pistoia and finally to Reggio Emilia. Even after moving to the USA, Italy always remained in Kobe’s heart and his love for our country never changed.
Kobe is among the best players in NBA history and has played for his entire career in the Los Angeles Lakers, winning five titles. He has participated in the FIBA Americas Championship 2007, the Olympic Games in Beijing 2008 and London 2012 with the US national team, winning the gold medal in all three events. In 2018, he won the Academy Award, in the category of the best animated short film for “Dear Basketball”, inspired by his farewell letter to his favorite sport – basketball.
To this icon of the NBA who only has a birthdate, GuidoMaggi dedicates Kobe, an exclusive chunky sneakers, unique in the materials, design, and craftsmanship. A model that pays a tribute to the champion, his strength, and his determination on and off the pitch.

A cornerstone of streetwear, Kobe is a shoe capable of increasing the height of the wearer from 2.4 up (6 cm) up to 4 inches (10 centimeters) in absolute comfort that adds a touch of style even to an elegant outfit.
