It will be in limited edition and entirely covered in snakeskin
June 12th, 2020
Although it will no longer be the official supplier of NBA balls, Spalding continues to produce absolute must-haves for basketball fans.
The latest American creation is a tribute to Kobe Bryant and his "mamba mentality": it is a limited edition ball from the "94 series" collection completely covered in synthetic gray and black snake leather on which it was imprinted the signature of the former Lakers champion and the number 24 in silver.
The intent is to continue to give value to Bryant's "transformation", which has gone from being a player with unparalleled focus and determination, symbol of an entire NBA generation, to becoming a husband, father, entrepreneur and philanthropist willing to help anyone in need.
After his retirement, in fact, Kobe has "changed the skin" of the player to continue to face new challenges and continue to inspire people all over the world. As we read on the packaging of the ball ''For Kobe it's what's inside that matters: it's heart, it's dedication, it's mentality'' concluding with ''The regular season lasts 82 games, the legend of the Mamba lives forever''.
