The Nike Kobe 6 Protro "Mamba Forever" Is a Tribute to Gigi Bryant

While rumour has it that Kobe’s estate will not renew his Nike deal, it seems that for the time being the Swoosh brand are still set to work on signature silhouettes for the late baller. Fresh off the press is the newly-unveiled Nike Kobe 6 Protro “Mamba Forever” - a release dedicated to Gigi Bryant, Kobe’s daughter who tragically died alongside him last year.

The pair are decked out in an effortlessly clean black and white colourway and showcase several nods to Gigi throughout, as well as all the usual Kobe branding. This is without a doubt one of the most touching Nike signature models we’ve ever seen here at The Sole Supplier.

Crafted from athletic mesh and synthetics, the uppers showcase neat colour blocking with white laces and Swoosh logos breaking up the look. Each sneaker is adorned with gold 2 motifs, Gigi's jersey number. Mambacita logos are located on the heel tabs with one shoe reading “Kobe” and the other “Gigi”.

This all sits on top of a Zoom midsole that offers all the cushioning and support you could ask for. Whether you’re a die-hard Kobe fan or simply just love the look of these sneakers, there’s no denying that they’re an epic pair! They’re set to launch later on this year so make sure to keep it locked in right here at The Sole Supplier for all the latest and while you’re here check out everything you need to know regarding how Fear Of God ESSENTIALS fits!
