Nike Kobe 4 Protro “Mambacita” Drops Today: Details

by

One of the best Kobe Bryant retros has been the Nike Kobe 4 Protro. Overall, this is a fantastic shoe that a lot of fans adore. Although it was shelved for a bit once Nike lost the rights to the Kobe line. However, Nike and Vanessa Bryant are back to working with one another, which has led to some great sneakers. The Kobe 4 Protro is also back on the docket, which has been great news for all of the sneakerheads out there. New colorways are being shown off, and fans are stoked about it.

For instance, the latest Nike Kobe 4 Protro will be an homage to Gigi Bryant. Gianna Bryant passed away alongside her father back in 2020. Overall, it was one of the biggest tragedies in the history of sports. She was poised to become an amazing basketball player. Moreover, you could tell just how proud Kobe was of Gigi and who she was becoming as a person. Now, her legacy will live on in various different ways. Included in this is the following sneaker, simply called “Mambacita.”

As you can see, this is a very basic model in terms of the colors at play here. However, this is because Nike wanted to keep it simple on theme with Mamba Academy. Firstly, the sneaker is covered in white materials on the upper. Secondly, we get some black on the midsole, laces, and even the Nike swoosh. From there, the back heel has a couple of references to Gigi. For instance, “Gigi” is written on each heel. Lastly, a gold number 2 is placed right beneath it. Overall, this comes together to create a very classy tribute.

If you are a fan of this shoe, you will be happy to know that it drops today, May 1st, for $180 USD. Nike.com and SNKRS will be carrying these, and the proceeds will go to the Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation. Let us know your thoughts on this shoe, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news from around the sneaker world.

N.O.R.E. accidentally reignited the beef between Cam’ron and Joe Budden.

Cam’ron hit Instagram last week and shared an older podcast clip from The Joe Budden podcast. Cam seemed to take offense to the show’s guest, N.O.R.E., calling out rappers making sports shows and other media content. As of late, Cam and Ma$e have found a new level of popularity for their sports show.

Now N.O.R.E. has tossed in his own message about the matter, wondering why the Dipset leader went to the Internet.

“Me and you are friends from the 90s. You have my real-life phone number You hung out with me for days before you did Drink Champs just to make sure I was the same yalla that you know. If you thought at any time I was going at you, Why would you go to the internet 1st?”

Last week as he shared the clip online, Cam had a message for N.O.R.E. and the JBP host who he referred to as “Hoe Buddons.”

“Damn @therealnoreaga told you I couldn’t trust you. Lolol. Im just fucking wit ya. But what other rapper from the 90’s got the sports and cooking show? 🤔U know u my nigga for life. But ya man hoe buddons threw u under the bus on the very Nx episode 🤦🏾‍♂️said he didn’t know who u was talking bout. I don’t give a fuck how his numbers is N.O. Stay away from that crack head!!!!”

“Now that nigga know he too sensitive to do this w me. Chill before I feel like playin’ back & you start makin’ calls again. Focus on your suits and pink set, that ‘crackhead’ lapped you lonnggggggggggg ago.”

Dillon Brooks Says He Doesn't Regret Comments to LeBron Because He's a 'Competitor'

Dillon Brooks has finally spoken. After being tossed by LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers from the playoffs, Brooks had been silent, opting to skip post-game media availability and receiving a $25,000 fine in the process.

Brooks was on hand at the Grizzlies’ season wrap-up session and gave his thoughts to the media. “That’s who I am,” Brooks said. “I’m a competitor. I compete. I don’t think it got LeBron ‘geeked’ up. He’s back in the playoffs, it’d been a little while. He was ready to play.”

After the Los Angeles Lakers ousted the Memphis Grizzlies from the NBA Playoffs, King James didn’t stick around to shake hands with his opponent, especially Dillon Brooks. But over the weekend, the Lakers star did have some messages to get off, one of which was written by JAY-Z.

Hitting Twitter, James sent a message to the young boys, evoking the energy of HOV’s “Trouble” when, at a point, he was doing the same.

“Trouble” was part of JAY-Z’s “Kingdom Come” album and bars set for R. Kelly and others. But the jabs at “young” rappers have long been thought to be bars at Lil Wayne, who was running with the Best Rapper Alive title and had subliminals for JAY-Z as well. Clearly, they are cool today.

But Bron wasn’t done, flipping Mystikal’s “if you see me fighting a bear, help the bear.” Another shot at the Grizzlies.
