Nike Zoom Kobe 6 Protro 'Mambacita Sweet Sixteen' (CW2190-002)
Nike Zoom Kobe 6 Protro 'Mambacita Sweet Sixteen'
The Nike Zoom Kobe 6 Protro 'Mambacita Sweet Sixteen' (CW2190-002) is one of the most emotionally significant sneakers in Nike's history — a heartfelt tribute to Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna 'Gigi' Bryant, released May 1, 2022, on what would have been Gigi's 16th birthday.
Black snake scales across the upper pay homage to Kobe's iconic Black Mamba alter ego, while the Swoosh, tongue logo, and leather back panels are rendered in clean white for a striking contrast. In place of the traditional Kobe signature heel mold, a Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation crest honors the foundation established in their memory. The names "Kobe" and "Gigi" are printed on the left and right shoe respectively — a quiet, powerful detail that speaks volumes. A gold "2" on the lateral window represents Gigi's AAU uniform number, while the insole features a deeply personal illustration: a halo, angel wings, the nickname "Mambacita," and another "2."
