The Nike Kobe 6 Protro Mabacita Sweet 16 pays tribute to the late Gigi Bryant and the Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation.
The Nike Kobe 6 debuted in 2011 and was the sixth signature sneaker between Nike and the late Laker legend, Kobe Bryant. In 2018, Nike would retro some of Kobe’s older and most memorable sneakers under their Protro program as a means to better equip each pair for the demands and needs of current athletes.
