I could see this as the end of Kobe product in general. It’s sick that one of his last shoes was called The Kobe A.D. AD stands for Anno Domini which means After Death the sneakers were a play on the phrase about how athletes die in a way when they retire. I can’t foresee Nike bringing back any Kobe models like Adidas did which in hindsight made them look tacky. The KB8 became the Crazy 8. As a person who used to be very into sneakers nobody put more of themselves in the product than Kobe.

Damn, that's a shame. Honestly I wonder what the end game is for Vanessa. It feels like no one keeps an athlete's legacy alive and tells the story of an athlete's greatness like Nike. Just feels like it would be in both Vanessa and Nike's best interest to continue to the relationship.

Dude was a true believer in JR.

"Honestly I think about him every day. And it's crazy that you mention that because I was talking to one of my teammates yesterday and he was like 'bro, Ko probably would've come to the game here,' and I'm like 'yea he probably would've,' and I was talking to my wife yesterday about it, and I was like, 'man, this is kind of surreal,' because just the journey throughout my career and how everything's going right now, for me, I know, just the relationship I had with him, he would be proud. But yea man, it's tough, because I would love for him to be able to see it. For me personally, I would love to be able to just, even throughout the course of last season, the ups and downs, and throughout this season, to be able to pick up the phone, text him, call him, and get advice or just talk. You take those things for granted a little bit, and for me, I think about it all the time, I literally think about him every day."
