As soon as Kobe Bryant entered the league in 1996, he struck a sneaker deal with Adidas for six-years. Upon the completion of his first sneaker contract in the NBA, Kobe took the other route and decided to opt for Nike to be his sneaker partner. The iconic brand developed a massive collaboration with Kobe ever since. The brand continues to honor the Mamba by producing beautiful sneakers even after his untimely death.
