Kobe 9 Protro EM “Gigi”

The Mambacita Series, Year Four

The Mambacita series began in 2022 with the Kobe 6 Sweet 16, continued with the Kobe 4 in 2023 and the Kobe 8 in 2024, and the Kobe 9 EM Mambacita Gigi dropped May 1, 2025 as the fourth annual entry, marking what would have been Gianna Bryant’s 19th birthday. Black, white, and metallic gold palette pulled from her Team Mamba youth basketball uniform colors. Engineered mesh upper carries a gradient that runs white at the toe to black at the heel. Gold Swooshes, Kobe sheath logos on the tongues, GiGi text branding on the left heel, and her jersey number 2 inside a gold heart on the right heel. SKU FZ7333-001/002. $180 retail.

The gradient is the make-or-break detail and on this batch the fade reads smooth from toe to heel. Marbled black and white midsole and outsole pattern. Drop-in React midsole, standard Kobe 9 fit. Sits with the better tribute Kobe reps in our store. More on the best Kobe reps page. Full 1:1 reps selection from the homepage.
