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

[010101]

with the right people involved they can have a family brand with a legacy all their own*

 

[iamduval]

I bet Kobe had things in motion to start his own mamba brand before he passed

 

[Long Live The Kane]

It was rumored he was leaving

he probably wanted to 100% own his shyt

So what happens to the Kobe Sneakers that Nike were supposed to releasing soon?

 

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

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

Every sneaker now on the SNKRS website seems to sell out. Some dude took an L on some Huaraches this morning. Huaraches

Probably the last batch.

I'm glad I got a few pairs of his joints way before he passed.

so many of these collectible bubbles are bound to burst.

too many people with too much money throwing money into shyt on speculation

everything has a ceiling, but some of them have convinced themselves that some things dont.

 

[Swiggy]

Make’m pay, Vanessa. Then, don’t give your moms shyt

 

[No1]

If he was still alive, would he have left Nike anyway?

Yeah. He was on his way out. She’s just carrying out his business plan.

 

[G-Zeus]

Ahe probably wants a brand like jordan...

A lot of these sneakers aren’t going accumulate value over time, but it doesn’t stop people from believing so and trying lol.

 

[Lil Bape the PostGod]

Kobe’s are more performance based as opposed to lifestyle sneakers..so trying to start a MAMBA brand without him might be a little too difficult to fully succeed honestly

 

[MJ Truth]

If he was still alive, would he have left Nike anyway?

Most likely. Or he likely wanted to. I’d bet anything he had either complained about the Nike deal or told her privately about his aspirations to do his own thing or build his own brand and that’s why she chose to not renew.

This is pure speculation though.

 

[Marc Spector]

shes playing hardball if you ask me. She probably wants Nike to cut a deal with the estate in perpetuity.
