Vanessa Bryant has gifted UConn players some of Nike's latest basketball sneakers in tribute to her late husband ahead of the Huskies' rematch of the last year's title game against San Diego State in this year's NCAA Tournament's Sweet 16.
Players received the unreleased Kobe kicks - 'Italian Camo' Protros - on Wednesday, a little less than 24 hours before facing the No. 5 Aztecs in Boston as part of the latest round of March Madness.
In a video shared by the team on Instagram, the Big East champs are seen casually hanging out before being surprised by Vanessa's gesture, as they went nuts once they saw the shoeboxes in the room, unwrapping them quickly.
All of that being said, the sneakers won't be available to the public until next month, according to Sole Retriever.
