Quit trying to tell me what I meant. I know what I meant and what I posted. His estate is not DIRECTLY tied to Nike as it has a crap load of other assets.



Dude, I am not just saying this for the sake of calling you out, but you do this all of the time.

You will post something and then when someone counters something you said you always come back with "I didn't mean it that way" or "that's not what I said".

From now on, start being more direct and post exact what you mean so that people can't assume you mean something else.. Or so that you can't say one thing then come back and say "that's not what I mean".

How does this impact the 10 year olds who make them?

We need to think of the children.

Won't this just make the price of existing stuff skyrocket in value?

Purchasing the remaining stock from Dick's. Sign up for email list and get 10% off your purchase. Perhaps now I'll be able to afford entrance at The Children's Museum.

Stout taught me construction and stocks. Now he's teaching me the collectors' shoe market. GOAT poster.

Wall Street Journal

Nike has not pulled the merchandise they sold out of it.

I'd wager that most of his wealth is tied to endorsements, with Nike being the biggest contributer.

Not saying they'd be destitute, just that to say they don't need Nike isn't correct either.

The company confirmed the decision to pull the items with ESPN’s Nick DePaula as it reevaluates its strategy on how to handle the signature gear of the late basketball great. Part of that strategy is limiting resellers’ ability to stockpile Kobe gear for the secondary market, according to the report.


ya no dawg, they pulled it because he dead and therefore they no longer have a contract to sell his shite

family is in renegotiation now that he dead they want bigger royalties since his shite is valued more now

thats all this is about, they just tryin to put a nice spin on it

Don't fail me now, stout. If this works out, it might be enough to get the 350 fixed.

outside of maybe some limited edition colorways of his shoes, Kobe "stuff" doesnt really move the needle in terms of collectibles. It's mainly run of the mill shite that kids wear to play ball in.

even hype for Jordan stuff has died significantly the last few years; trainers (eg. ultraboosts) are what's popular now.

And the resellers then up the price to profit off of his death.


So? It doesn’t cost Kobe or Nike anything if they got full price on the front end.

If you want to thwart resellers, either charge more or make more.
