Kobe Bryant rules and reigns over the NBA because “Only Kings Have Rings." This limited edition tee drops Tuesday April 13th at both Tradition locations.

This time-lapse video shows how artist Matt Cory brought Kobe Bryant to life for The Forest Lab. The original concept for ”Only Kings Have Rings” was a design collaboration between Matt Cory and TFL#! owner, Garrett Campbell. The idea called for a graphite pencil drawing of Kobe wearing a crown similar to the famous crowned Biggie Smalls picture. But, Matt felt that using Lakers colors in a cross sketch/hand drawn style would be more effective. Drawn with colored pencils, the final product took about 6 hours to complete.
