This after Kobe's widow Vanessa Bryant blasted the company on Wednesday (Thursday, Manila time) over the Kobe 6 Protro "Mamba Forever" rumored for release later this year. In a lengthy Instagram post, Vanessa revealed that the Bryant estate gave no approval for the shoes to go on sale. The MAMBACITA shoes are NOT approved for sale," wrote Vanessa. The sportswear giant failed to get the Bryant estate to re-sign on a contract earlier this year, after the late Lakers' star deal with Nike ended.
