I think it’s highly unlikely. I think the mambacita deal caused both parties to wash their hands and move on.

I'm glad I was still able to get the HOFs at retail. I hate shock drops but it is what it is, at least I shot all my shots in up until this morning

Agree looking thru my history on Kobe’s with SNKRS, nothing but L’s. Beyond ridiculous.

Found some “lightly used” Grinches on eBay but there’s a little something that worried me, is this paint flaw common or did the dude scrape off the paint somehow? Would it be a dealbreaker for you guys?

Nike said “meh...ok just drop em” LOL.
low key disrespectful to Kobe IMO. Not just because of this drop. But how they handled the line overall.
like what bigstick2324 said, this is the end of an era.

I guess that’s my question….does the paint scrape off like that after a “light use” if so….

We had a better chance of putting a fire out with gas and wood, before seeing any PE’s. Smh.

The same thing that happened with the Trophy Room 1s. They'll be "stolen" and someone will say it's "fake" because it doesn't have blue laces or some other reason, when they get exposed. If you think Nike and Vanessa will settle this, it won't happen. The main reason aside from the money (The easiest thing to resolve.) is that Vanessa wanted Nike to produce more Kobes for the fans and Nike said, No, thank you. Vanessa's legitimate demand undermines Nike's business model. Remember Nike ended the deal, not Vanessa. And she wanted all the proceeds for the Mambacitas to be donated to her/Kobe's foundation. All things Nike could easily do but refused to do so.
Loss every Kobe raffle even a local raffle, where it looks like everyone hit at Undefeated. So I couldn't walk away with nothing. I traded for these today.

For the HOF and DS? That's a great deal. Almost too good to be true. I ended up trading at Round2. A pair of Yeezy and GS Dunk lows.

I don’t think anybody other than Nike & Vanessa really know what actually happened. The bottom line is that I’m sure both wanted it to continue in some capacity, they just couldn’t agree on the value of it.
