(KYMA, KECY/CNN) - Nike announced it will release a pair of shoes in honor of Gianna "Gigi" Bryant.
She and her father, Kobe Bryant, were killed in 2020 during a helicopter crash.
The shoes are being released on what would have been her 16th birthday and will have a black snake-skin pattern.
Profits from the sales will be for the Mamba and Mambacita Sports Foundation, a non-profit that honors the legacies of Gigi and Kobe.
