The Nike Kobe 9 EM Protro 'Mambacita' honors the memory of Gigi Bryant. The shoe features a grey to black gradation on the engineered mesh upper with metallic gold Swoosh branding. Additional gilded accents land on 'Gigi' on the back heel tab, as well as the Kobe's shield logo atop the tongue. Flywire cables are integrated into the lacing system for a lockdown fit. The low-top is mounted on a marbled midsole, which houses a drop-in React foam midsole that replaces the Lunarlon cushioning of the original.
