FOR THOSE who were able to watch WWE Raw's official debut with Netflix, fans may have witnessed the intimidating presence of the Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns.
And as he entered the arena, he sported a customized version of Nike's Kobe 9 Elite Protro Halo, honoring the great Kobe Bryant.
During the post-match press conference, Reigns expressed the level of respect he has for the Black Mamba.
"Everyone's got such a deep respect for Kobe and what he brought to the game, and even more so, not just the game, but that mentality, that Mamba mentality," Reigns started.
Then he revealed his plans for the customized shoes.
"To wear these Prortros, it was an honor to to have them painted up and to be able to do something a little bit different, especially on such a big stage. But I just wanted to be able to do a collaboration, do something a little different, show a different layer. But then ultimately, we'll probably just auction these off and then donate them to the Children's Hospital," Reigns added.
Look at these awesome shoes
Prior to wearing these shoes in the ring, Reigns had them customized from @coessneakers. The designer posted photos of the shoes on his Instagram account and said: "It will always be fun to customize. I hope you enjoy this piece I made for @romanreigns.
Currently the Kobe 9 High Protro costs around Php12,000-Php12,500. The price of Reigns' customized shoes remains undisclosed.
