Kristin Juszczyk is no stranger to designing chic sportswear for high-profile figures, and this week, Kobe Bryant’s daughter Natalia became her latest client.
Juszczyk, the wife of San Francisco 49ers star fashion designer Kyle, has previously tailored outfits for the likes of Taylor Swift, Brittany Mahomes, Caitlin Clark, Taylor Lautner and her NFL star husband.
So, in anticipation of this past Mamba Day (a special date dedicated to the late Kobe every year on August 24), he decided to gift the NBA legend’s daughter her own exclusive item.
In a video shared on her social media pages, Kristin takes a black and yellow Lakers jersey with Bryant’s name on the back and transforms it into a stylish pair of pants for her eldest daughter, Natalia, 21.
She can first be seen taking her measurements before cutting out the shirt and working her magic on the sewing machine.

Every year, August 24 marks Kobe’s death, a day known worldwide as Mamba Day.
Finally, his masterpieces are complete as he proudly displays two pairs of Kobe-inspired pants and what appear to be two pairs of shorts.
The camera then focuses on Natalia, who smiles as she puts on the pants dedicated to her late father.
At the end of the clip, she can be seen thanking Kristin for her timely gift on Mamba Day.
Kobe’s widow Vanessa also showed her appreciation for the pants by sharing a photo of them on her Instagram Story.
The former Lakers star was tragically killed along with his daughter Gianna and seven others when their helicopter went down in Calabasas, California, in January 2020.
They had flown out of John Wayne Airport near their home in Newport Beach and were headed to Thousand Oaks, to Bryant’s Mamba Basketball Academy, when they crashed into a hillside.

The 21-year-old seemed delighted with the gift as she thanked Juszczyk for her pants.
Every year on August 24, the day after his birthday and the famous jersey number he wore for the Lakers, Kobe is remembered in the United States and around the world on Mamba Day.
Earlier this month, the Lakers unveiled a new statue of Kobe and Gianna four years after they tragically died in a helicopter crash.
Vanessa unveiled the bronze statue titled ‘Girl Dad’ at a private ceremony outside the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
Located in a new garden at the 11th Street entrance, the artwork was created by Rotblatt Amrany Studio and shows Kobe with his arm around Gigi as he plants a kiss on her head.
