Just when we thought that the year couldn’t get any better, the Swoosh comes with an announcement. The Nike Kobe line is coming back this summer! But this news is here after a couple of years of back and forth between Nike and the Bryant family/estate. So, here’s everything you should know about the comeback and when to expect it! In the meantime, you can take a look at the latest sneaker news on our blog! Now, let’s dive into what’s arguably the comeback of the year, shall we?
You know how the industry loves the drama. From everything Kanye to Nike lawsuits, there’s always a story somewhere. Now, when it comes to the Kobe line, it all started with the untimely passing of Kobe Bryant and the Nike Kobe line deal expiration in 2021. The Bryant estate didn’t plan on renewing the line, but that didn’t end there, because Nike still owned the kicks. This is why all hell broke loose when leaks of the Kobe 6 Mambacita “Sweet 16” came out.
Vanessa Bryant said that it was “NOT approved for sale” and that she wasn’t sure how someone else has their hands on shoes she designed in honor of her daughter Gigi and they don’t. And let’s not get into the actual releases that happened. But that all became history in March 2022 when the two sides made peace!
Before we get into the future, let’s take a look at what previously went down. After the amends, Nike revealed multiple releases. From the Kobe 4 Mambacita to the Kobe 6 Grinch and more, the kicks came back in a steady stream. And well, the Nike Kobes are still some of the most popular kicks in the NBA, so that says a lot. Now, in 2023, the Swoosh finally announced a comeback of the Nike Kobe line! And of course, DeMar DeRozan from the Chicago Bulls will remain the face of the line according to a 4-year contract. So, seems like there are lots of interesting kicks to expect!
We’re gonna come out and straight up give it to you. With the Nike Kobe line back, it sure will help with the Swoosh’s sales. You see, the hottest kicks became a bit out of the spotlight, so the Kobes will be the breath of fresh air Nike needs. So on August 24, 2023, aka Kobe’s Day, the Anyway, that can also mean that many people will come after the kicks. So, if you wanna get a headstart on drop day, you’ll need a sneaker bot, preferably an all-in-one bot!
In other words, a bot like NSB3 will help youon all the sites that matter. From Nike SNKRS to retailers, you can boost your chances on all of these sites. And you know that this will be profitable, especially when the kicks are kinda exclusive. So, here’s what you need to know about sneaker botting if you’re still testing the water! Who knows? It might be your way to get your sneaker resale business going. Godspeed!
