In honor of Gianna's birthday, Nike released a new pair of Kobe IV Protros on May 1, 2023, to honor both the late Kobe Bryant and his daughter.
The Nike Basketball Twitter page shared a picture of the white and black sneakers with hints of a gingham pattern across the sneaker.
Etched at the back of the shoe is the name GIGI with her number 2 to accompany it.
The Twitter page captioned their post: "The Kobe IV Protro “Mambacita” celebrates Gianna “Gigi” Bryant’s 17th birthday.
"We dare you to #PlayGigisWay, to be competitive, joyful, and curious and never take any opportunity for granted, just like Gigi. Available starting 5.1 on SNKRS in select regions."
Since its release at 10am ET, the shoe has sold out and is now being resold on third-party sites for double and triple the price.
