Nike continues to honor the memory of Kobe and Gigi Bryant with the Nike Kobe 4 Protro ‘Gigi’. The latest Kobe release pays homage to his daughter Gigi. The Protro 4 dropped on May 1st Gigi’s 17th birthday. The pebbled leather upper is primarily white with hits of black on the Swoosh.
The heel sports gingham, a nod to the flannels Gigi wore around her waist. Her number 2 and name are represented on the heel to remind us that life is more than basketball. We should approach life with excitement and conviction, giving our all.
The red swoosh on the outsole nods to the red bow Gigi wore for school pictures. Personal touches added include Gigi’s name on the lace tips. The “Mambacita” heart on the insole reminds us that the sky is the limit for the future of sports. This dropped on May 1st and sold out immediately. If you are willing to fork over the extra dough it is available on resell sites such as GOAT and Stockx. For more on the Kobe Protro check out this article.
