Vanessa Bryant did not renew Kobe’s Nike contract...Kobe & Nike are done for now at least

[-DMP-]

the HoF Kobe's were the final release under the old contract, i believe.

didn’t know about these. This is going to be a blood bath. Any idea when they are suppose to release?

i honestly don't know. but if i remember correctly the HoF kob's, and a pair of 6's, are coming. i could be wrong tho. there could be more/less under the expired contract.

 

[MrRDU]

The only 2 pairs I still need. Could've coppepd for about 500 before the chopper incident

Now that I'm thinking about, even the dikk's Sporting Goods restock of Kobe's last week makes more sense now. The 6 Protos 'White/Del Sol" got pictures, but not a release date. Going by them already being on resell websites, I'm assuming that some are already in circulation somewhere.

I believe that is/was the only last release on the docket.

Never got those Kobe VI Rice retros or those HTMs

 

[R=G]

You know that ain’t happening. shyt is wack as fukk. I had to pay over retail for some fukkin Structures recently. shyt that used to be on clearance at factory stores. These fakkits just wanna buy up and resell/tax for everything that come out. Smh

Sounds like extortion. I wouldn't give them a cent.

kobes are the perfect hoop sneaker..still get busy in my easters

She just seems to be “all up in the video” now after decades in the shadows.

I mean, when you become in charge of the estate, which includes endorsement deals, lawsuits against the cops that took pictures of your dead husband/daughter's corpose, after your famous spouse's tragic death, that tends to happen.

They're the ones with all the money.....they've been controlling it for quite a while.....

It’s the Asians & Jews on my side

 

[Tommy Fits]

I'll give you that. But back in the 90's abd early 00's I would never see white folks rocking J's or Air Force 1's like I see now. That's some new shyt, and they the ones in the news with the monster reseller inventory too. They gonna eat some of this blame too.

It's not new lmao. I'm a 36 year old white guy and I was a sneaker head as far back as 5th grade.

My favorite Kobe’s, I got the red ones(from Nike clearance). So many of them joints used to be at the clearance store I kick myself all the time for not scooping them when I had the chance

I'm not saying it didn't happen. I'm 40 and have seen my share of of outliers. But when I was in high school and middle School, whenever we would go shopping in the suburbs that wasn't something you saw. Now I live in the suburbs and see it all the time. And way more girls wearing shyt than back in the day. I'm not gonna pretend to be some all knowing sneaker head, I'm just saying I've definitely noticed a shift in recent years. "Never" was hyperbole.

I’m not going after anyone. Don’t be so emotional.

Well considering she stayed outta the spotlight when Kobe was alive it’s kinda sus that you attacking her for handling affairs, what’s she suppose to do? She been trying to get Nike to mass produce his kicks so everyone can get them. It’s sus, but you sus anyway so it makes sense why’d you come at her.

Of course she’s all in the video, who else would be?

It’s a tricky situation because normally you have no idea who is behind the scenes for these estates but she’s his wife and was already active on social media before all of this. She rightfully has a vested interest in his legacy instead of letting lawyers and accountants be very “clinical” about it and his life’s work gradually fades.

she’s doing what she feels like she has to do

on the other side of things, look at Prince’s situation. Dude left behind tons of work and his estate has been releasing albums every year, managing his affairs yet we have no idea who these people are. And they seem to be doing a good job.

I watched this video last night and you gotta give his estate watchers some credit. And there’s gonna be tons of Prince stuff coming for years to come and they aren’t holding back.
