If the Staples Center was Kobe Bryant’s body, the Nike Vault would be a tattoo covering his entire body. The Nike Vault recently opened and although serving primarily as a Nike Basketball retail spot, it also acts as an homage to Bryant, his success with the Lakers, and his connections with the city of Los Angeles. Adorning a dominant wall of the Nike Vault is a finely drawn graphic of Kobe Bryant, featuring a timeline of his career achievements as well as a landscape of the city he’s called home since the ’96 NBA Season. The supremely awe-inspiring mural is the work of Eric Siador, who is renown for his graphic photo-realistic depictions and trademark linework. This is truly the object of envy for anyone with dreams of becoming a legend, so take a look at the entire mural after the jump and let us know what you think of Siador’s artwork. via ArrestedMotion.
