A look at what might be Kobe Bryant's final two sneakers with Nike

Kobe Bryant's time with Nike will end with some heat

Things are apparently coming to an end between the Kobe Bryant estate and Nike.

A few weeks ago it was reported that Vanessa Bryant and the Kobe Bryant estate were breaking ties with Nike and taking their business elsewhere.

They filed for multiple trademarks that used Bryant’s name and likeness and seemed to plan to launch their own brand. In the time since the estate has already launched a single apparel collab with another brand.

But although it’s clear that the two sides are moving on from each other — at least in the near future — their deal with each other isn’t up quite yet. Vanessa Bryant posted a picture on Instagram shortly after news broke that they were parting ways with Nike saying there’d be two more Kobe sneaker releases from the Swoosh.

We may finally have a look at both. One has already been confirmed, and the other confirmation might be on the way.

First, we’re getting the Hall of Fame Kobe 5 dropping just in time for Bryant’s Hall of Fame induction on May 15. The shoe is a collaboration with streetwear brand UNDFTD and the brand has already sold some pairs off via a raffle.

Next, it looks like there may be a “Mamba Forever” Kobe 6 coming sometime this summer that pays tribute to both Gigi and Kobe Bryant, per Nice Kicks. It uses the Mamba and Mambacita foundation logo that the Bryant estate filed a trademark for.

These don’t have a release date just yet, but they’re expected to drop this summer.

We’ll see if it ends up being this pair or another. Either way, we can expect them to be hard to get.
