Kobe Bryant hosts a Nike event for his Kobe A.D. shoes in Los Angeles in November 2016. Reseller StockX told Forbes that in recognition of Bryant’s legacy, it plans to donate all proceeds from sales of his merch this week to the Kobe and Vanessa Bryant Family Foundation. That’s how many NBA players⁠ (a quarter of the entire league) have worn Bryant’s Nike shoes, according to ESPN. Bryant’s Nike shoes and other memorabilia are still available on some secondary marketplaces, according to ESPN, with some products marked up as much as 300%. News peg: Bryant spent his entire 20-year NBA career playing for the Los Angeles Lakers until he retired in 2016.
