If anyone can rock some special customize Kobe Bryant Nike sneakers, it's his oldest daughter Natalia Bryant.

She got creative with some Kobe 10s, showing them off for the 2026 Mamba Invitational Championships where she even left future NBA Hall of Famer Chris Paul in awe of her kicks.

The 23-year-old Natalia has not only wowed some serious looks as a professional model on the runway at fashion shows all over the world, but she starred in a Nike commercial with New York Knicks superstar Jalen Brunson for the debut of dad's Kobe 3 Protro "Halo" sneakers.

Natalia, along with mom Vanessa Bryant, 44, were in attendance for the annual Mamba Invitational basketball tournament in Los Angeles, California, featuring some of the best basketball players in the country.

Vanessa made a splash herself wearing the Kobe five rings T-shirt for his five championships with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Natalia had on the denim shorts and white top and even got to hand out the winning medals to the players.

Natalia Tricks Out Her Kobe 10s

It was all about her custom Kobe 10s Protros where she airbrushed the Mamba logo and the word "Mamba" on the side for her own unique look.

Chris Paul Shows Her the Love

Paul, 41, who retired after 21 seasons in the NBA was in attendance to support the event gave Natalia her props on the kicks, too.

He asked her, "Who did that?", to which Natalia replied, "I did that." He then had to give her a fist bump after staring at the customize sneakers.

You can watch the clip of the above moment right here.

Paul and Kobe played together in two Olympics in 2008 Beijing and 2012 London where they won gold in both.

What a cool moment and some sweet custom kicks from Kobe's own daughter to show off at the event created off his legacy.
