Nike on Monday suspended the sale of Kobe Bryant merchandise on its online store, multiple outlets reported. According to ESPN, a search for Kobe Bryant on the site takes a user instead to a page with a purple and gold Nike gift card sporting the Los Angeles Lakers logo. We extend our deepest sympathies to those closest to Kobe and Gianna, especially their family and friends. According to TheStreet, Nike had not yet replied to a request for comment Monday night. The report added that Nike is re-evaluating how it will release Bryant’s signature shoe series going forward.
