Fans have been left hanging since the Kobe Bryant Estate and Nike resumed their agreement in early 2022, with only one Kobe sneaker hitting shelves since the new deal was inked. That release paid tribute to Kobe’s late daughter Gigi — and so will its next, with the Nike Kobe 4 “Gigi” to resume the signature Nike series this Spring.
Once more, the pair returns to Gigi Bryant’s monochrome Mambacita uniforms, with the predominantly white-based release sporting select accentuations of black — Embroidered Swooshes being one. “GIGI” motifs in the rear rest above her #2 in gold, separated by a monochrome gingham graphic rear clip. Her late father’s signature is etched onto the lateral side, too. Gold Kobe logos sit atop the tongue, with black and white sole units sitting underfoot to complete the design.
Grab a first look at the Nike Kobe 4 “Gigi” below and expect these to hit select Swoosh stockists and Nike.com on May 1st, 2023, on what would have been Gianna’s 17th birthday.
