Kenedy Wears Custom Yellow / Purple Adidas X 19+ Boots In Tribute To Kobe Bryant
Based on the laceless Adidas X 19+ soccer cleats, Kenedy's custom pair of cleats is inked in the colors of LA Lakers, purple and yellow-orange.
The boot's upper comes with a painting of Kobe Bryant and his famous quote "If you're afraid to fail, then you're probably going to fail."
Tech-wise, the cleats worn by Kenedy were the same as standard colorways of the Adidas X 19+ cleats.
