Project 95 (P95) Basketball Academy and Limited Edt have unveiled Singapore’s first art-led tribute to the late Kobe Bryant, marking Mamba Day 2025 with a unique blend of art and sport. Held at P95, Singapore’s pioneering tech-powered basketball academy, the event featured a striking aluminium sculpture capturing the essence of Bryant’s Mamba Mentality—resilience, discipline, and excellence.
The tribute, which took place at AiRENA, Singapore’s first AI-enabled sports enterprise, underscores P95’s commitment to youth development through both performance and purpose. Alan Lim, Director of P95, emphasised the academy’s focus on character and skill, stating, “The Mamba Mentality is about pushing past your limits with heart and purpose—values we instil in every player.”
Limited Edt, a leading trainer and streetwear institution in Singapore, partnered with P95 for this initiative. Mandeep Chopra, Founder and Managing Director of Limited Edt, remarked, “Kobe Bryant was more than a player. He was a symbol of drive and integrity.”
The day-long event included a showcase of Kobe memorabilia from private collections, a parent-child basketball game, and a special trainer sale featuring iconic Kobe designs. Attendees also received exclusive “Black Mamba Day 2025” cards.
Artist Jahan Loh, who created the sculpture, noted, “Kobe stood at the intersection of sport, style and spirit. This was exactly what I wanted to encapsulate through this piece.”
Through this collaboration, P95 and Limited Edt aim to foster a deeper appreciation for Kobe Bryant’s legacy, merging sports, art, and values in a meaningful tribute.
