After this tragic death of Kobe Bryant († 41) fans fight for memories of the basketball legend. But equipment supplier Nike doesn’t deliver anything at first.
Because: In honor of the deceased sports star, the sporting goods manufacturer has initially stopped selling all related goods online. Resale of already stored products at higher prices should also be limited.
Background: Bryant has been under contract with Nike since 2003, where he even had his own shoe brand. Over 100 NBA professionals played in the shoes of the “Nike Kobe Signature Series”, Nike is said to have earned over 95 million euros with the series ($ 105 million).
In the next few weeks, a new model designed by the former Lakers professional should also come onto the market. It is possible that the publication will be postponed.
Nike said: “We express our deepest sympathy to those closest to Kobe, especially his family and friends. He was one of the greatest athletes of his generation and has greatly influenced the world of sports and the basketball community. He was a loved member of the Nike family. We will miss him very much. Mamba forever. “
The Lakers also mourn their ex-player Kobe Bryant. The game against the LA Clippers scheduled for Tuesday has been postponed and is to be rescheduled at an unspecified time.
But it is already clear: Tickets for the Lakers’ next home game (against Portland) are actually no longer available. But prices are exploding on the secondary market.
There is the cheapest card currently for $ 767. For comparison: The cheapest ticket for the parallel Phoenix vs Oklahoma match is available for $ 14 (€ 12.70).
