With Mamba Day 2024 behind us, Kobe fans have another milestone to look forward to as Nike continues to honor the legacy of the Black Mamba through Protro releases. Next up is May 1st, or the birthday of Gigi Bryant — Kobe’s daughter who sadly died in the tragic helicopter crash on January 26th, 2020.

Continuing the “Mambacita” tradition, in which Nike and Vanessa Bryant concoct an elegant white, gold, and black colorway of a Kobe shoe, this Kobe 8 “Mambacita” features an elegant pattern of butterflies on the engineered mesh upper, while golden accents appear on the Kobe sheath and the embroidered Swoosh emblems on both the lateral and medial sides. On the heel is “Gigi” along with her number 2 jersey number, while a hard golden hang-tag comes attached featuring the Mambacita wings logo.

Again, the Nike Kobe 8 Protro “Mambacita” is expected to release on May 1st, 2024 to commemorate Gigi Bryant’s 18th Birthday. Looking ahead, the next Kobe release is expected on Father’s Day with the release of the green suede Nike Kobe 4 Protro “Girl Dad”, which is said to be inspired by the green Philadelphia Eagles beanie Kobe wore in that heartwarming photo of dad and daughter sitting courtside.
