Vanessa Bryant puts Nike on the spot after a tribute design for her late daughter Gianna Bryant surfaced online.
Taking to Instagram, Vanessa posted a photo of someone holding the shoe she helped design in collaboration with the sportswear powerhouse.
Vanessa expressed her confusion over how the individual was able to obtain the design despite its unavailability in stores.
"This is a shoe I worked on in honor of my daughter, Gianna," Vanessa wrote on Instagram.
"It was going to be called the MAMBACITA shoe as an exclusive black and white colorway on her daddy's shoes. I picked the colors in honor of her uniform, the number 2 she wore just like her uniform, the inside pattern, Kobe and Gigi on the back in gold instead of Kobe's signature, the inside shoe details (butterfly, wings, halo), etc."
