Vanessa Bryant Speaks Out On Not Approving the Release of the “Mambacita” Nike Kobe 6 Protro

Damn, somebody at Nike has some explaining to do.

Vanessa Bryant, the wife of the late-great Kobe Bryant took to Instagram early Thursday morning speaking on being unpleased that a sneaker she designed is set to be released without her approval.

According to TMZ Sports,

Vanessa says after her split with Nike this spring, approval for the shoes to be made was NOT given — but she claims they’ve somehow been leaked anyway and posted a photo of someone holding the shoe in their hand!

“Nike has NOT sent any of these pairs to me and my girls,” Vanessa said in a statement.

“I do not know how someone else has their hands on shoes I designed in honor of my daughter, Gigi, and we don’t. I hope these shoes did not get sold.”

Vanessa added she wanted the shoes to be sold “to honor my daughter with ALL of the proceeds benefitting our @mambamambacitasports foundation.”

Vanessa then asked her followers to track down the shoes … writing on social media, “If someone can share how they have these shoes in their possession, that would be great because my daughters and I don’t have any of Gigi’s MAMBACITA shoes.”

An Instagram user, brandon1an, who originally posted professional photos of the “Mambacita” shoes nearly 3 weeks ago, claims Nike is the one responsible for the shoe leak.

Let’s see how things play out. I hope Nike honors Vanessa’s wishes.
