Nike recently brought back the Kobe 4 Protro to honour what would have been Gigi Bryant’s 17th birthday. This “Mambacita” colourway is dressed in a simple white and black make up, with subtle hits of gold and red to honour the late Laker Legend’s late daughter. Check out my detailed review and see how they look on feet before deciding on your opinion!
Before his time with Nike, the late Kobe Bryant was an Adidas-sponsored athlete. His second last signature shoe, The Kobe, recently returned in retro form in the original “Stormtrooper” colourway. Check out my review of these 2000s-era basketball shoes and drop a comment down below if you’re a fan!

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!
With the recent announcement that Kobe Bryant and Nike’s contract has ended, I wanted to share my thoughts in today’s episode about the situation and the feasibility of a “pre-order” system for Kobe’s shoes. Would this actually work for all parties involved?

One of the greatest Kobe Bryant shoes of all time made its return this past Christmas Eve, in time for its 10th year anniversary.

The first Kobe sneaker to release following his untimely passing, the Kobe 5 Protro “Big Stage / Parade” kicked off Mamba Week with a limited drop this past week. Done in a split fashion, one side is inspired by the Big Stage colourway from 2010, and the other taking tattoo-like graphics from the Parade PE colourway. Check out my detailed review for a closer look and to hear my thoughts on this pair!
