More than a year and a half after his tragic death, athletes all over the world have continued to honor the legacy of Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant.
When the Toronto Blue Jays began a four-game series with the L.A. Angels at Angel Stadium on Tuesday, All-Star first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. donned a pair of customized cleats that pay tribute to Bryant and his daughter Gianna.
The kicks were designed by New Jersey-based artist Mike Jordan and include portraits of Kobe and Gianna as well as their Nos. 2, 8 and 24:
