I'm sure Nike will come back with an acceptable deal
No they won't. In five years, Kobe Bryant will be an afterthought. Other than the "old timers," players in the league at that point will not even really remember him. For damn sure, no one is wearing Converse because of Magic Johnson and Larry Bird. Does either one of them still have a shoe contract. And, BOTH, were as big, if not bigger than Kobe Bryant. Throw in Dr. J as well.
The only players whose shoes will still be around in 20 years will be Jordan and LeBron.
There is NO WAY IN F*CKING HELL that Nike is going to give VANESSA Bryant a Jordan-type LIFETIME deal.

I disagree on a lot of that. His line was extremely popular and interest went through the roof after he died. That is worth a ton of value for at least the next decade IMO. I'd love to hear the numbers being bandied about.
ETA, you are right that Nike does dig in at times. I never thought they would part ways with Federer. But, he must have wanted insane money and they were like, why overpay a guy who isn't going to win more majors? So, he took $300 million from Uniqlo.

I mean you’re right his brand isn’t going to be like James or Jordan. I don’t blame her for trying to get big bucks but gold digging whore is a bit much

Kobe's shoe line isn't popular because players love Kobe, it's popular because players have transitioned to low tops over the years and because Zoom cushioning is the best combo in terms of cushion + weight + profile Nike offers. Kyrie's line was super popular a few years back for the same reason.

Lebron's shoes fricking suck. Massive, chunky, heavy high tops with ugly arse color palettes from his time in Cleveland and LA.
