But you’re blindly attacking her which is contradicting your whole cool free thinking third-eye act.

She is posting on instagrm for people like you.
A public attack to get what she wants. She's been doing that from the beginning.
So are you trying to get a pair of kicks or what you want?
Because I hope you don't think she's doing this for a couple of pairs of sneakers.

Vanessa didnt sign the contract. Why should nike send her pairs? I dont care if she designed it

how you know she didn’t contact them? If you look at the post and she also
nike
in it. Vanessa I’m sure has tons of things on her plate and the shoes are not the first thing she think of when she gets up. I can’t believe you really out here question a woman who designed shoes for her daughter that’s passed in crash with her father about shoes she made she don’t even have. She said they weren’t supposed to be released.You trippin man!

werent suppose to release, doesnt mean they werent produced. She said she originally wanted them to release for the foundation which means she gave nike the green light to produce them
Nike technically didnt release them. They were sent accidentally to a store in the UK and the UK store released them

I don't even think it's about sending her pairs. The sneakers are made and sitting in another country in a warehouse.
Pairs get "lost".
That doesn't mean Nike wasn't going to do it.

" So what will the sneakers provide her?"umm... maybe its a tribute and remembrance, to hopefully help with some closure.

Vanessa clearly designed the shoes Last year cause they went into production. She said she didn’t want them being released. Nike made them anyway. It’s a slap in the face if she asked them not to be released and then Nike let stores get them but a shoe she designed for her child she can’t even get! go read her post again. Y’all ruthless man. I hope they don’t release!

One store was “accidentally” sent pairs. Stuff like that happens. Mix ups with the color
there’s probably more sitting in a china warehouse right now that will eventually leak out

having worked at a brick n mortal retail store years ago, i have experience to share (US ONLY): ALL shoes with release dates were shipped from nike’s distro in Memphis to retail stores/warehouses with the exception of true quickstrike releases which were imported and then shipped directly to retail stores/warehouses. That means cases of shoes are imported and then sent by common carrier from import to Memphis. Pre-Covid, shoes will then sit in the warehouse until 2-4 weeks prior to release before being shipped to retail.
again, this was years ago and pre-covid. I’m sure many things have changed regarding shipping and distro due to covid but a retail outlet receiving/releasing/distributing shoes BEFORE nike has a chance to put out a statement or anything seems fishy.

"She three daughters and a whole house filled with them. (what does this even mean?)
So these sneakers are finally going to provide that? (I believe I said some closure, what does an urn or a tombstone provide a family?)
Pay that same remembrance to his family " (again, what does this even mean?)

I cant imagine how Vanessa acts with corporate nike people if this is how she acts on Instagram. There is a reason why the contract wasnt renewed and she needs to hire someone to take care of this stuff instead of her

which means production ALREADY ended and she KNEW about the production, and possible release date, and the fact pairs were already in transit to nike for retail sale. Since the contract hadn’t expired yet, nike doesn’t have to give her a heads up about anything kobe related nor were they required to do so.
I was on her side regarding the grinch release and more retail pairs but her whining and complaining is getting old. Like others have said, i wonder what she was asking for/demanding in contract negotiations.
Ahaha this is pure comedy. She has more daughters and more shoes! I understand that you don’t understand what it feels like to go through that sort of loss and the amount of emotion invested into something you devote to loved ones. Especially since these “basketball shoes” represent the thing Kobe and Gianna loved and shared a bond over.
Nah I don’t care about getting those shoes because they have no relevance to me. It’s cool to wear in honor of Gianna but not an emotional connection so strong like

.I wanted the Grinches to ball in but missed retail.

This part of the statement made me cringe. Made it obvious you don't have any kids to say something like that. May need to articulate that thought a little better.

I just want Vanessa stop whining.. we can’t get one pair to hoop in yet she had tons giving them away to the kardashians of all people. So she needs to take the L and stop crying. Life goes on and get off my ****Nah I don’t care about getting those shoes because they have no relevance to me. It’s cool to wear in honor of Gianna but not an emotional connection so strong like
