The Kobe 9 Protro "Mambacita" honors Gianna “Gigi” Bryant’s lasting impact on the future of women’s sports. Dressed in a striking black-and-white mesh upper with Metallic Gold details, the sneaker pays tribute with Gigi’s name on the left heel and her jersey number—encircled by a heart—on the right. Additional personal touches include the Mambacita logo on the inner tongue and a custom gold heart hangtag.
Engineered for top-tier performance, this Protro edition combines legacy with innovation. The breathable mesh upper ensures lightweight agility, while a drop-in React foam midsole delivers responsive court feel and cushioning. A carbon fiber plate enhances lateral stability without weighing you down, and the multidirectional outsole tread provides the traction needed to elevate your game.
