In honor of the legacy of the late Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna, KICKZ retailer will be auctioning off a unique 1-of-1 Piaggio Vespa. Custom designed in traditional Lakers colors and refined with special Mamba details, this one of a kind scooter pays homage to Kobe’s Italian roots while also commemorating Kobe’s legendary life in basketball.

Growing up in North Italy, not far away from Piaggio’s headquarter, the Black Mamba has always had a special connection to the Italian culture and way of life. By adding a number of Kobe specific details to the signature vehicle of this legendary Italian scooter manufacturer, KICKZ has created the perfect Mamba Ride and it could be yours!

In partnership with WNBA athlete Marie Gülich (L.A. Sparks) 100% of all proceeds of this auction will be donated to help young girls fulfill their basketball dreams in honor of Kobe’s shining legacy. Playing in Los Angeles Marie is coached by Kobe’s close friend and teammate Derek Fisher.

KICKZ will donate the complete and total amount of the Vespa auction to the all-female Basketball Center of Opladen, where Marie spent most of her teenage years playing. They convinced this is in unison with Kobe’s love for women’s basketball as a whole while also helping young female ballers on a local level.
