Vanessa Bryant Celebrates Natalia Getting Into USC With Custom Kobe 4s

Vanessa Bryant’s daughter Natalia recently revealed on social media that she had been accepted to the University of Southern California (USC). To celebrate Natalia’s impressive accomplishment, Vanessa Bryant got a pair of custom Kobe 4’s featuring the university’s cardinal and gold colors. The gift is a symbol that Vanessa will be with her daughter Natalia throughout her college journey. Vanessa Bryant took to Instagram to debut the shoes and share her daughter Natalia’s story.

This is definitely a feel-good story for Natalia and the rest of the Bryant family, considering everything they have gone through over the last year. There is nothing quite as vintage as a pair of Kobe 4s.

Kobe Bryant, himself, had some ties with USC. Though the 5-time NBA champion went straight into the pros from high school, he apparently has made USC “his school.” Kobe has been seen making several visits to the campus in LA.  He also watched Trojans from time to time and even offered his words at some classes at USC. It feels fitting that Natalia Bryant would honor his legacy and attend the university that he declared “his school”.

Kobe Bryant briefly went to summer school at UCLA after his rookie season with the Lakers but he quickly adopted USC as his school. He would occasionally attend games, speak at classes and hired USC film students at his company. Now his oldest Natalia will be going to USC. https://t.co/MVaglMztG8 pic.twitter.com/LJ0M26MQH4

It has been a tough year for Vanessa Bryant and her family, but now she definitely has something to be proud of. Sending your oldest child off to college is a tough thought for any parent, however, Vanessa Bryant made it clear that she will be with her daughter every step of the way. I am sure Vanessa will visit her daughter as much as she feels fit without being intrusive of her college experience.

Congratulations to Natalia Bryant for getting into the prestigious University of Souther California. Your father is definitely proud and looking down on you.
