Philipp Plein Donates $20K To Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation From Milan Fashion Week Sales

Fashion Designer Philipp Plein has received a lot of backlash from his Kobe Bryant Tribute during his Milan Fashion Show.

Many were upset that Plein showcased a bedazzled helicopter during the show, along with bedazzled jerseys and hoodies.

Plein announced on his social media that sales from the Kobe Bryant Collection would be donated to Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation. “HEROES COME AND GO…..LEGENDS LIVE FOREVER ? happy to be able to support with the sales of this capsule the MAMBA & MAMBACITA SPORTS FOUNDATION ?.”

The jerseys are priced at $2,070, the hooded sweatshirts at $3,150, and the high-top sneakers at $2,200.

Although many aren’t here for Plein, he definitely stayed true to his word with donating $20, 512.82 to the foundation.
