Vanessa Bryant just sent South Carolina women’s basketball head coach Dawn Staley the sweetest gift.
It's always cool when you wake up to a pair of Kobe's at your doorstep, and that is exactly what happened to Staley over the weekend. The legendary coach received a pair of the Kobe 4 Protro "CHBL" (China High School Basketball League) sneakers, which just officially hit retailers today. Even more special about Staley's gift is the fact that these specific kicks are only available in China, which means she got a rare pair of shoes that a good percentage of us won't ever be getting.
Staley posted a picture of the sneakers on Instagram with the caption, "@vanessabryant I don't mean to flood your timeline but truly grateful and thankful to receive part of @kobebryant legacy and your vision and love for him elevate that legacy! Don't ever stop....mamba mentality!"

Previewed by Vanessa Bryant in early April, the "CHBL" silhouette features a bright yellow colorway that includes matching yellow laces and a texturized gradient pattern that transitions into a solid white color near the upper heel.
The sneaker also includes Kobe's infamous "Touch the line" statement he made while calling out (in Kobe style, of course), a young basketball player during a 2016 visit to Shanghai.
