Kobe shoes will be out of print in the future. On April 20 16, star Kobe Bryant renewed his contract with Nike brand in the 1950s, which will expire in April 200216. However, Kobe Bryant, a former NBA superstar who died in an air crash, was unable to renew his contract. This decision was made by vanessa laine, the widow of Kobe Bryant. The endorsement contract between Nike and Kobe officially ended in 20021,which to a great extent means that Kobe's sneakers will become out of print. In recent years, Nike's strategy of selling Kobe sports shoes has gradually moved towards fine collection. Not only set a limit, but also must be sold on the shelves of specific stores to control the price of shoes. But Vanessa Lane hopes that the public can afford Kobe's sneakers, preferably children's size. Nike disagreed with this condition, so the two sides failed to reach an agreement in the final negotiation, and the contract expired on April 13.
