Following a new agreement reached between Kobe Bryant’s estate with Nike, they recently released the first Kobe sneaker earlier this month after a nearly year-long hiatus. The “Mambacita Sweet 16” colourway dropped on Gigi’s birthday where she would have turned sixteen years old, and as such, this pair is a nod to her including her jersey #2 visible on the heel.
The next Nike Kobe shoe set to release is the Kobe 6 Protro “Playoff Pack”. Originally releasing in April 2011, a decade later Nike Basketball is bringing them back in Protro form. Featuring a colour base of white, black and yellow, these were a must for me given its wearability and overall clean look. These release in North America on June 3rd, so let me know if you are going to be trying for them!
