her posting that makes me think they’ll reup with Nike. If she was really that bitter towards them, I feel like she wouldn’t keep talking about these upcoming releases, or gift those usc Kobe’s to her daughter a week ago or so.

Would y’all still cop if Nike eventually dropped em again like this ?

Yep.

Just not for $180

Maybe she did it due to a contractual obligation.

Need some thoughts on these black mambas. Ordered from goat and they also passed on check check, but the undefeated logo is not like the others. Also, I already had a worn pair and there’s some notable differences like the glue on the insole and stitching color. Wondering if should contact goat to see what they think.

 

[skaterplayer808]

Omg I just realized I know why it looks different, it's because the undefeated logo is upside down lmao. Don't these defect pairs go for more money jk.

I ordered 3 pairs on secondary platforms (black mamba, fir, hyper jade) and they all came with the vanessa card so I'm assuming it came off the recent restock. The quality on the hyper jade pair was terrible. Like terrible. Fir had glue stains galore on the tongue area, but I could easily remove with a suede eraser. And now this black mamba one has an upside down undefeated logo. Is it just me or could the restock pairs be all the rejected pairs that didn't make the cut?

I’ll take em off your hands

My mamba undft pair I got off StockX (bought after the restock) came with a giant scuff on the heel cup. No Vanessa card either. Had to send it back for a refund and now the prices went up

I don’t even think she’s in it for the monies, she’s beyond good on that, I think she legit wants Nike to push more product/make product more readily available, which I guess equals more monies, but I think she wants more product put out.

 

[MambaForever]

You gotta be naive to think that money isn't at all a factor in this. The rich stay rich because they're never satisfied.

It's always about the money my friend. You can never have enough money, otherwise all the billionaires would've stopped working by now.

I see shes wearing the Kobe 6s

 

[JoForumBlueGold]

Gotta say, even with all the Nike stuff that's happened, seeing Vanessa do this to honor Kobe and Gigi is so wholesome.

 

[urn0tlike]

Think those are the sweats that guy was wearing to match the Sakura lebron 18s

 

[blacklion23]

And yet she’s still rockin Nike Kobe’s. That just doesn’t add up to me when you’re trying to push a new brand.

 

[blacklion23]

Anyways, pretty sure most have seen this hoodie. Anyone else cop one?

 

[56250]

I think Vanessa knows that Kobe shoes on an own Mamba brand would not sell well and since Nike has not put out any Kobe gear, except for undefeated T-Shirts (the Kobe jerseys don‘t count, since he never wore them, at least for me), she is releasing gear, in order to fill that gap, not a bad move in my opinion

 

[AceDub]

Yall dudes copping a pair of mambacita pants?

 

[skaterplayer808]

I'm gonna need that HWC Kobe jersey that I've been putting off on buying. Next time I see that 15% off codes or more from a site, I'm buying.

 

[lewi1913]

As Foamer would say, bang bang!

 

[D_eezus]

As Foamer would say, bang bang!

Just 1?!?! No lewi up

 

[lewi1913]

Just 1?!?! No lewi up

I could only find 2 pairs in my size...

Are people really knocking her for wearing nike KOBE's? Those shoes do bear her late husband's name. And so what if she's still wearing Nike's? She's not hating on the brand, she still pushing for it to happen (I presume). And despite no more contractual relationship, it's not like she's going to go after Nike for Derozan, Booker, Millsap, Ariza, AD etc for still wearing her husband's name. That's what she wanted.
