Nike has announced the release of “Mamacita Sweet 16” in honor or Gianna “Gigi” Bryant on what would have been her sweet 16. Vanessa Bryant shared the announcement to her Instagram, “I’m so happy with the way these Mambacita shoes came out in honor of my daughter, Gigi. The shoes feature a black snakeskin pattern to represent “Gigi’s Mambacita Mentality.” All the proceeds for the sale of the shoes will go toward the Mamba & Mambacita sports foundation to honor the legacies of Kobe Bryant and Gianna. What is your favorite “special edition” of a product?
It was never about what she got from basketball. It was always about what she gave back. Gigi gave inspiration to her teammates, her mentors, and the next generation. #PlayGigisWay #mambamambacitasports pic.twitter.com/u7R3EnknqP
