That's my feeling. All due respect to her but it doesn't seem to make sense to me to try and build a new brand without Kobe here. Just don't see it.
Vanessa Bryant did not renew Kobe’s Nike contract...Kobe & Nike are done for now at least

Makes you wonder what the hell was going on at Nike. They have gone off the deep end with this SNKRS/Hypebeast/reseller bullshyt and it has come back to bite them in the ass.
Bball shoes should be available to everyone because you have legit fans and hoopers who want the gear. Stop treating it like they are Jordan 1s and 3s.
Just hope moving forward that they take a hard look at what this reseller shyt has done to the game. Looks like it a wrap for them to come to an agreement on Kobe stuff but they can make things right with everything else if they actually want to
Thos kobe shoes they showed are trash. If this is anything beyond negotiations for a posthumous lifetime deal with Nike then it's a fail

I mean, his shoes are by far the most popular basketball shoe right now. 
Nike will bow down.
Nike will bow down.
To Vanessa for looking out for the fans and saying fukk this resell culture that Nike is bowing down too.
Welp. She said what she said a few mins ago
Vanessa probably wants a better deal than what Nike is offering right now. I understand if they want to do their own thing w/o Nike but I feel that it would be hard since Kobe is not here anymore and most people memories are with the shoes that he had with Nike during his glory years. Nobody chase the 98 post-retirement Jordans the same way like the ones that he wore during his prime. Hope that they able to come to a agreement over time.

Kobe married a damn boss. I see why he was so damn smitten over her.
I believe he was. So much so one of the conspiracies behind his death was about him leaving Nike. Now I don't believe that conspiracy shyt but yeah.

I love every move Vanessa has made to honour her husband and in turn the fans that supported him

Probably the reason she is playing hardball.

I give it a month, tops. I'm shocked they didn't give him a lifetime deal as well.
They know they need that Kobe line and they also need some good publicity after the VP scandal and bot fiasco

why blame Nike. It’s not like they planned on him to die
Kobe’s were sitting in stores before he died. Now the people have made every Kobe a grail

I'm sure they offered a lifetime deal, I'm even more certain Kobe
