Nike losing money on Lebrons deal?

i HIGHLY doubt that. HIGHLY

 

[rook]

At the gym all the kids wearing KDs. Some in Lebrons.


Nike keep charging $295 for Lebrons tho they're gonna make the choice much easier for kids out here

:x

idk how these parents buy their kids such expensive shoes whether you have money or not.

unless my kid is busting his as mowing the lawn and washing the dishes without hesitation if he came up to me and asked me for a $200+ pair of basketball shoes hes gonna ruin in months id slap the taste out of his mouth

reported to authorities

how much they pay him? I doubt that there profit on the deal is equal to what they pay him per year.

This could either be huge for UA or a crippling death stoke for themselves.

Dan Lebatard's salty, bitter *** can't keep Lebron off his mind.

You clearly don't know anything about Lebatard lol

I can't wait for Mike Ryan and Charles Ramsey, as Mike's security, to walk around that homecoming. If they can get Mike the Hitman and his crew

Bron is 6"8. Not 6'9 not 6"10 not 6"11 not 6"12.......

Bruh Lebron is 6'8 250. Lean and ripped, but stronger than Karl Malone. Scary

Do you mean the deal they gave KD? According to his Forbes article, it seems like LeBron is just at the point of breaking even with his contract.

It wouldn't surprise me if this is the case for the original KD deal. His first four shoes retailed sub $100 and didn't pick up steam until the KD IV. Heck, I don't even know of any retailers outside of FTL and FNL that picked up the first two shoes. The KD IIIs had a wider release and more colorways but they were way behind Kobe and Lebron sales.

This is interesting. I don't know too much about this but some of it doesn't make sense. I'm not sure how Nike is just breaking even with LeBron's deal. UA is worth crazy money and has been growing the last two years, I don't know how the KD deal would do the damage that he's saying. How did Rose's line sell 40 mil last year? I never see anyone wearing them and every color hits the outlet.

Also, were those figures just shoes or their clothing line as well?

Bledsoe news coming pretty soon.

I think what he is getting at is that a company like Nike generally intends to spend 12%-13% of its sales (wholesale numbers) on marketing. Going by the previous years' sales, the amount paid to Lebron per year has been exceeding this 12%-13%, meaning they are spending more money than they would want to allot for marketing. But I think that Nike's profit margins are so high that they can take a hit in the marketing area and still not be losing money. If he considers cutting into their profit margin as losing money, then yeah, I guess.

Not much to be honest, I just heard the Suns are meeting with Bledsoe tonight according to some employee at a restaurant in Scottsdale AZ.

Don't know if it's legit or not, but it could be Bledsoe letting the Suns know he's taking the QO or the Suns up their offer, which I think would be insane.

Branden Haywood is on the roster too after this

Sounds like Kevin Durant to Under Armour is close to done. Would be the seminal moment in UA's basketball climb.

Hearing the Under Armour deal for Kevin Durant could be in the neighborhood of $325 million over 10 years.

Son. This don't even make sense.

KD about to be a pioneer and have a whole bunch of dudes jump ship.

This is crazy money.
