Remembering Kobe Bryant: Illuminating Tribute on Mamba Day
Tonight, the Santa Monica Pier Ferris Wheel is going to be illuminated in memory of the late Kobe Bryant.
In honor of Kobe Bryant Day, the jersey figures 8 and 24 of the Laker superstar will be lit up in purple and gold.
The date of 8/24, sometimes referred to by supporters as Black Mamba Day as well as just Mamba Day, was selected because it matched Bryant’s figures and was the day following his birthday. On Wednesday, Bryant would’ve been 45.
Nike also unveiled the Nike Kobe 8 Protro “Halo” sneaker in memory of the occasion. The business claimed that it collaborated with Bryant’s wife, Vanessa Bryant, and she came up with the sneaker’s style.
According to an announcement from Pacific Park in Santa Monica, visitors can watch the Ferris wheel illumination from sunset until 11:35 p.m.
