Detailed introduction:

In fact, an insider broke the news at the beginning of this year. As early as 20 19 and 12, Kobe said that he was considering leaving Nike to start his own business.

It is said that Kobe was very dissatisfied with the decline in sales of Nike Kobe shoes at that time, and planned to leave Nike in 2020 to build an independent brand of Mamba sneakers.
