Natalia Bryant Highlights Kobe 3 Protro Sneakers in New Nike Ad with Jalen Brunson | NBA News Times of India”
Natalia Bryant, daughter of late NBA star Kobe Bryant and his wife Vanessa Bryant, has starred in a new advertisement for Nike along with current NBA player Jalen Brunson. The new ad showcases the Kobe 3 Protro sneakers.
The short promo film features Natalia and Jalen wearing the sneakers and was released on a Tuesday morning. Jalen has been known to wear Nike Kobe trainers for a long time and took the opportunity to feature the new designs in his social media posts.
The ad has a New York twist as Jalen enters a jewelry shop, interested in the new Nike Kobe 3 Protro “Halo” colorway. Natalia is seen working on the new Nike Kobe shoes in the shop.
In the ad, as Jalen reaches for the shoe Natalia was working on, she pulls it away quoting a famous remark from Michael Jordan, “Woah! You reach, I teach!” which implies that Nike is going all out to market Kobe’s third signature basketball sneaker.
Moreover, Nike has continued its tradition to honor the legendary Lakers player by releasing new Kobe trainers on his birthday each year. On Kobe’s 47th birthday, the Kobe 3 Protro “Halo,” an improved version of the 2007 edition will be released.
In addition to the ad, Nike has released a 10-second voicemail recording advertisement for the “Rings-N-Things” store, indicating that they aim to support the Nike Kobe 3 Protro. The Mamba League Invitational, an annual top-tier youth basketball competition held in LA to honor Kobe’s legacy, coincides with the sneaker launch.
