傳奇球星布萊恩(Kobe Bryant)於年初驟逝,留下無限遺憾。近日,知名風險投資公司Sherpa Capital的共同創辦人皮舍瓦爾(Shervin Pishevar)表示,「布萊恩本計劃在今年離開Nike,併成立自己的球鞋品牌『Mamba』」。

布萊恩在結束璀璨的20年NBA生涯後,將熱情放在商業場域上,他不僅成立自己的公司,並在動畫產業上得到奧斯卡的肯定。Kobe於年初搭乘直升機墜機驟逝,引發外界無限惋惜,近日風險投資家皮舍瓦爾表示,去年12月布萊恩曾跟他討論要在2020年成立自己的球鞋品牌,但很遺憾Kobe在幾周後就離世了。

I met with Kobe Bryant in late December 2019. Kobe wasn’t happy with Nike and was going to leave it in 2020. Kobe was going to start Mamba, a shoe company owned by players. He passed away weeks later. What he was about to do in business was going to eclipse his sports career.

皮舍瓦爾進一步表示,Kobe不太高興Nike在行銷他簽名球鞋的方式,並責備其讓球鞋銷售量下滑,另外布萊恩也相當不信任Nike在設計球鞋上的判斷。

最後,皮舍瓦爾釋出當時團隊與布萊恩討論的產品,並表示當時在場的人還有「牙買加閃電」博爾特(Usain Bolt)等人。
