people thinking they can just get anything because it's a kobe. I've been looking at trying to replace a couple pairs I had to sell off, I dont mind buying used, but the prices some people are asking is just laughable.

"Starting Sunday, August 23, Nike will honor Kobe with “Mamba Week,” a week full of programing and retail launches celebrating Bryant's enduring legacy."
news.nike.com
Kobe Bryant (1978-2020) inspired people around the world with his ability on the basketball court and his work ethic off it.
Kobe’s relentless determination to be the best at anything he touched continues to live on through the millions of fans that he influenced during, and after, his 20-year NBA career. Starting Sunday, August 23, Nike will honor Kobe with “Mamba Week,” a week full of programing and retail launches celebrating Bryant's enduring legacy.
It isn’t normal to list “five-time NBA champion" and "Oscar winner” in the same biography, but nothing Kobe did was ordinary. When he introduced his “Mamba Mentality” in 2012, it was an insight into what drove his relentless pursuit of perfection.
Throughout his career, and even after his retirement in 2016, Mamba Mentality became an indicator for something extraordinary in the world of sports. Athletes who channeled Kobe’s instinct or flair for the clutch were branded with the moniker. Kobe himself instilled it in the young women he coached in his retirement, including his daughter Gianna, who naturally embodied the next generation of Kobe’s relentless competitiveness.
During Mamba Week, Nike will champion Kobe’s legacy and the Mamba Mentality that so fittingly represents the athlete and the man through three key efforts: providing a $1 million donation to the Mamba and Mambacita Sports Foundation, amplifying Kobe’s message through the Mamba League and extending Kobe’s legacy of inspiration and innovation through select Kobe products.
Commitment to the Mamba and Mambacita Sports Foundation
As a part of championing Kobe’s legacy, the Nike Foundation will make a $1 million donation to the Mamba and Mambacita Sports Foundation in memory of Kobe and Gianna. The foundation, whose mission is to make a positive impact through sports, will use these funds to further Kobe’s goal of keeping kids active and putting them on a path to success in life. It specifically focuses on kids in underserved communities who may face financial barriers to sport and on providing equal sport opportunities for girls.
Celebrating Mamba Mentality through Mamba League
In 2017, Kobe partnered with Nike to create the Mamba League with Boys & Girls Clubs throughout Los Angeles. The league, which strives to enroll an equal number of girls and boys and engage female coaches, is focused on giving kids a place to learn basketball fundamentals and be inspired by the game. The league and coaches instill Bryant’s message of Mamba Mentality — work to get better every day, on and off the court.
Providing inspiration through Kobe product
One of Kobe’s enduring legacies are the products that he created with Nike. Bryant was a driving force behind each shoe’s creation, guiding Nike’s design and innovation teams to make the best product possible. Kobe’s relentless pursuit of perfection is credited by many throughout the Nike design community for making them better at what they do.
Nike will continue to release Kobe Protro shoes, allowing the millions of fans he inspired around the world to keep Bryant’s legacy going. Nike will also continue to work with the NBA to release limited quantities of Bryant’s iconic Los Angeles Lakers jersey. Products will begin releasing in late August, coinciding with “Mamba Week.”

I already have the “8” authentic in that jersey, and I have the player tee numbered exactly like that, so I’ll pass. Looking forward to seeing what releases. I’m presuming all 5s?

There's a dude in one of my fb shoe groups that price gouges Kobes. Some ds and some lightly worn stuff. Talk about taking advantage of a tragedy, but at the same time, I guess I would hate to sell someone some kobes for a good price and that person just turns around and flips it for more. With what happened, it doesn't feel right flipping kobes. Will be looking forward to trying to scoop personals during mamba week. Trying is the key word

not sure on numbers but all of these have to be GR’s with unprecedented hype, no? all of these were set to drop WAY earlier in the year
Any word on how many pairs on average?
If it wasn’t for january’s events we’d be getting the UNDFTD Kobe 5’s next weekend and heading on to the 6 Protro
(UNDFTD dropped on Mamba day last year)

Awesome that they are re-releasing those Kobe snakeskin jerseys! Slept on them when they were on sale here in Europe and regretted deeply afterwards.
Btw, any word on the Bruce Lee V's releasing. That shoe has always been a grail of mine.
