Vanessa Bryant and the Kobe Bryant estate have elected not to renew their endorsement partnership with Nike, she confirmed to ESPN.

"Kobe's Nike contract expired on 4/13/21. Kobe and Nike have made some of the most beautiful basketball shoes of all time, worn and adored by fans and athletes in all sports across the globe. It seems fitting that more NBA players wear my husband's product than any other signature shoe," said Vanessa Bryant.

Vanessa Bryant and the estate had reportedly grown frustrated with the lack of availability of Kobe product during his retirement, including a limited supply of kids sizes.

The Kobe Bryant estate can now negotiate to enter a new partnership with outside brands.

The Kobe Bryant estate owns the rights to the "Mamba" logo and his signature, with the "Sheath" logo owned by both sides.

Bryant originally signed with Nike in 2003.
