The Nike Kobe 9 EM Protro 'Mambacita' is a heartfelt tribute to Gianna "Gigi" Bryant, celebrating her enduring legacy in women's sports. Released on 1st May 2025—what would have been Gigi’s 19th birthday—the design features a striking black and white gradient mesh upper, accented with metallic gold details. Personalised touches include Gigi’s name embroidered on the left heel and a gold heart encircling her jersey number “2” on the right heel. The inner tongue showcases the Mambacita logo, and each pair comes with a golden heart-shaped hangtag, symbolising Gigi’s lasting impact.
Engineered for performance, the trainer incorporates a breathable mesh upper and a drop-in React foam midsole, offering responsive cushioning and lightweight support . The marbled black-and-white outsole provides reliable traction, while the low-profile silhouette ensures agility on the court. This release continues Nike’s annual “Mambacita” series, with proceeds benefiting the Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation, supporting underserved youth in sports . The Kobe 9 EM Protro 'Mambacita' stands as a meaningful fusion of athletic innovation and commemorative design.

The fit is great as I have fat feet. I have tried custom sport shoes and Skechers is a better fit and has a much better price point. Already order a second pair.
Reviewer Meredeth Beers
Look for 1/2 size larger and you'll be OK
Reviewer C Pope
excellent product and quality. But they are small.
Reviewer Tina Spencer
I got these light-up shoes for my husband to wear with a loud suit. They look fun!
Reviewer Marjean M Hull
Very good fiting.. loved the price would buy them again
Reviewer Tmf
While these sneakers fit well in length they were a little narrow. Hopefully they will stretch out a little with time. Comfortable to walk in and cushiony feel. Easy to slip on. Very well made sneaker. The arch support is minimal though.
Reviewer J Berringer
It is difficult to find white, leather mens all purpose cross training shoes good for walking, etc. these Swiss made shoes are excellent! They are fairly light weight, great looking, true to size, very comfortable, and super well made. The seams are double sown and frankly I bought them for my husband after trying several other American brands that were way more expensive and we highly recommend these over them.
Well worth the price!

Months later I still love my two pairs of these shoes. (I have one pair that are smaller that I use for general around town wear, and a 1/2 size larger I use for longer walks) I often put them on when I get home from a long hike/walk and they are very comfortable to spend the rest of the day in because of the way they spread your toes out. They are great for walking on rocks because the 'blocks' on the bottom stick like glue. But wet they are very slippery. And it takes a while for them to dry out. The sole is about worn out on one of my pairs but there are no holes anywhere in the shoe, not even between the toes where the material seems very thin. My longest walk in them has been 10 miles on a paved bike trail.
I'm bumping my review up to 5 stars for having performed so well over the long run.
Reviewer Robert Stein
wonderfully confortable
Reviewer Trevor T Adams
I bought this as a gift for my brother and by all reports he is pleased with this product. Shoes fit comfortably and size is accurate.
