“The MAMBACITA shoes are NOT approved for sale. I wanted it to be sold to honor my daughter with ALL of the proceeds benefitting our @mambamambacitasports foundation but I did not re-sign the Nike contract to sell these shoes. (The MAMBACITA shoes were not approved to be made in the first place.) Nike has NOT sent any of these pairs to me and my girls. I do not know how someone else has their hands on shoes I designed in honor of my daughter, Gigi and we don’t.”
Bryant severed ties with Nike earlier in 2021, something that Kobe Bryant hinted he was going to do just months before he and his daughter perished in a helicopter crash outside Los Angeles on Jan. 26, 2020.
Nike has yet to respond publicly to the accusations.
