Is Nike allowed to keep creating new PE colourways of Kobes even after the contract has expired? Or were these new ones that keep popping made before the contract ended?

I like that your Kobes have hoop miles on them. With the exception of my iD V's & VI's (at least not right away) all my Kobes were bought strictly for ball & are since long gone now.

My collection from 10+ years ago.

Forgot these.

 

[big b 33]

And these.

With Devin Booker’s rise in popularity, he either gets his own signature sneaker over at nike. Or Nike drops the ball like they did with the Kobe situation… and Devin Booker becomes the first athlete under the new Kobe Brand.
In a perfect world, The Bryant estate and Nike would have come to an agreement and they could’ve had players like booker, derozan and Tatum carry the line on court in the NBA i.e westbrook, luka, Zion for Jordan brand. Maybe get Sabrina to be the face for Kobes in the WNBA. Just a hypothetical. Smh.

This actually makes a ton of sense. I would love to see Book be a Kobe athlete. I don’t know if he could get his own sig, but if PG has one, then it’s possible.

How are NBA players able to get Kobe PE’s while this Nike/Vanessa contract fiasco is going on?

 

[Geats]

PEs will probably run to the end of the season for players

just how you and i can wear the shoes... just cause the fiasco is going on doesn't mean nobody's allowed to wear the shoes

He said get not wear. I’m assuming they had the pairs already in the works prior to deal ending

Yeah man, they own the sneaker design and technology - they just remove all Kobe logos and references. They've been doing this for decades with several of their signature shoes.

The Deion sanders shoes are a prime example of just this.

Those PEs were likely produced many months ago. If the stuff on the internet is to be believed, it said that Nike can continue to sell any Kobe’s that were produced before the contract ended. The PEs were likely produced just before the contract ended, hence, they are still receiving and wearing them. Now, if they are wearing shoes that were produced now, next year, then something is different than what was said on the internet.

 

[grittyman]

I read that a lot of those PE’s were produced in 2020

I guess the only way to be certain is to see the contract, which will never happen haha
