How ironic .

 

[tyonenine]

If KD accepts that UA deal within the next week or so, y'all really think we'll see easy moneys on 9/6?

Kanye left but red October's still released. [emoji]128526[/emoji]

It would really be a shame if they shelve such a superior product...

 

[dijonrondo]

Sheesh..,. Y'all see what I started with this DajonDondo thing..... Some ppl need to be creative in their own. Theirs a rapper named Danon Dondo now.... Smh.

What are you talking about? I'm a fan of the Boston Celtics and my username is a play on Rondo's name.

Yeah the date is too close, and Nike isn't gonna take that L. The biggest losers here are the rest of us since the next and possibly last 2 color ways will fly off the shelves

This is what I've pieced together so far via multiple sources online, maybe not 100% accurate on release dates but probably fairly close:

Style Code	Nickname	Colorway	Release Date	Link
653996-146	4th of July/USA	White/Obsidian/Red	June 28
653996-840		Mango/Grey/Volt/Blue	July 12
653996-060		Magnet Grey	August 2	FNL
653996-330	Easy Money	Mystic Green/Bone/Brown/Green	September 6	FNL
653996-063		Purple/Grey/Tourquoise	October 4
653996-370		Lightning/Hyper Jade/Black/Volt	October 18
653996-535		?	?	FNL

Those things are probably already sitting in boxes ready to be shipped...we'll get more CWs.



WE HAVE TO!

First color is posite judging by previous releases.

October 4 and 18 is right by my birthday (11)

I'm not buying into this. There is no way ua is caked up like that.

View media item 1119457Got those 2 over on kd Charlotte hot joints and I'm guessing a cw like those superhero hyperflights. Ironically hyper jade and lighting are the same color (me thinks )

 

[wafflegeist]

nike tryna negotiate and kd probably like

You should do some research.

$32.5M a year would not ruin UA. Anyone that knows anything about marketing knows that isn't a short term payoff. Signing the reigning MVP and MAKING A GOOD SHOE could put them on the map for years to come. Making a desirable shoe is key though, and it has to be aesthetically pleasing for casual too. Nike is worn for hoops and style. Same can't be said for most other brands...

Easier said than done, though. Ask Adidas how's that going for them. The only shoe I can actually think of that is doing this is Li Ning and the Wade brand (I have 3 pairs of way of wades), however, that is purely only because Li Ning is putting premium materials on Wade's shoes and going for a retro feel. I highly doubt that UA is going toward that direction, and it'll make the job a lot harder.

 

[samuel06]

You should do some research.

What I mean is that is a huge gamble. I'm sure they can pony up the cash but honestly what happens when these shoes don't move?

Kanye also wasn't a signed athlete...


He had no leverage at all in that matter, as much his camp would probably say the opposite. Nike did what they did because they held all the cards on the effin table...

KD situation is much different. Talking about a signed athlete with name trademark, likeness and use in commercials, earnings from sale of licensed product, performance based incentives among many other things. This is a multi faceted situation with a lot of third party involvement that is almost indefinitely pointing to KD's decision come 2016. Lines get blurred and there's deff going to be a lot of talk about what happens to all of the product as well as what happens going forward, but until he makes a decision we won't know anything.

 

[ronaldcinho]

And people act like UA is just some run of the mill start up company that is fishing for business. We're talking about a global 18 year old athletic company worth billions of dollars...a top 5 sportswear company in America with a growing market in Asia and Europe.


No company is going in blind to a deal like this and expecting to not come out stronger and with an advantage. Once again you're also talking about a company with major links to the Washington Wizards and the Ravens, and to think that Leonsis doesn't have a role in this would be stupid.

Some much for good morality. I thought everyone in this thread would want an extra 2 cws

@ that Wire clip.

 

[captainjackson]

any day now, the KD 7 is gonna be taken off nikeID if he really does sign with UA. i can't see nike promoting his shoe or releasing more cw's while he's with UA.

 

[mavsfan229]

Might be close to being done, according to that guy.

 

[ronaldcinho]

Honestly if he does leave I'm sure nike puts out those produced pairs before (if) he officially is announced as a UA athlete. Shoes are made well in advance so they won't take the L.
