First Look At Kobe Bryant’s Final Two Nike Sneakers

In 2003, Kobe Bryant signed his first contract with Nike, after spending the first seven years of his professional career in a partnership with Adidas.

Bryant’s final contract with Nike expires at the end of this month and will not be renewed by Kobe’s wife Vanessa, whose goal is to make Kobe products available to all of his fans. The Bryant estate’s frustration grew due to Nike limiting the availability of Kobe products during his retirement and after his death.

This means that the coming two Kobe sneaker releases are the last ones with a Nike swoosh.

Next up, likely this summer, will then be the final one of Kobe’s Nike sneakers. The “Mamba Forever” Kobe 6 will pay tribute to both Gigi and Kobe Bryant, with the Mamba and Mambacita foundation logo on them.
