Official KD VII (7) Thread Updated Technology/Look Info and Release Dates

[Mr Dink]

Nike's not matching that. Sorry to say, bye bye KD.

 

[The7onius]

Got my CBTS, super happy with them. Love the fit of the 7s, snug but comfortable and wiggle space in the front.. sizing up would leave way too much room in the toe box area.

Interesting to hear any complaints with the traction on these. I think the traction is very, very good - I don't have the xx8 which is supposed to be the king of all traction, but the KD7 is second only to my Kobe 9's. Traction was great straight out of the box.

If you every have traction issues you should play outside a couple of times to rough up any slickness on the outsole.

Kd gone bruh

Good for KD, bad for sneaker fans. I understand that if the move is made, UA finally has a top tier athlete to build on, but they've got a loooong way to go. Nike, Adidas, Reebok all have performance divisions but they have the casual appeal that really sells. Under Armour doesn't.

I havent dealt with returns to nike.com so this 30 day return policy.... Could i wear the kd vii to ball for a few games and if i dont like um i can return them and get my money back? As long as its in 30 days?

 

[tigo0240]

Yep. They accept returns for any reason within 30 days with a NDC account.

 

[noblekane]

Wow ima go beat these in then lol

I remember back in the day when i wanted to return a shoe cuz i didnt like the way they felt after playin i would clean the bottoms and even then the footlocker dude woukd be like these look like you washed the soles

 

[tigo0240]

Yeah they make it really easy. And they actually like to get feedback. I returned a pair of Tailwind 6s and told them they were "not as expected." Heavier than I imagined, couldn't feel the max air at all, tears forming in the mesh after two wears. I got an e-mail a couple days later thanking me for my input (not one of the automated emails).


So yeah, ball in them. If they're nice, you win. If they suck for you, let them know and send them back...you still win.

 

[googdot]

Nike's most recent offer on the table is a minimum $20 million/year guaranteed. I think if they bump that up a bit to show some loyalty KD will stay. UA can't touch Nike's marketing, branding, and worldwide appeal.

 

[Champagne_Taste]

I don't see why he would take the under armour deal for a couple of more million a year even though roc nation screwed him with that dumb kind sports deal.

 

[Mr Dink]

I don't see why he would take the under armour deal for a couple of more million a year even though roc nation screwed him with that dumb kind sports deal.

UA is offering a stake in the company + a community center built in his mother's name. There's a lot more to it than just the $.

 

[Mr Dink]

However, I do believe UA is offering Kevin Durant way too much. Kevin Durant may be a top tier superstar, but it will be extremely hard to turn a profit with the amount they're offering him.

 

[cjdynasty]

He would be only 10% of their marketing budget. If UA is serious about growing their Bball market share, it's the cheapest way to do it. I LOVE the UA deal for both parties; just hate for him to leave the swoosh. His designs were just starting to cook.

 

[Remy LeBeau]

KD gone bruhs

 

[flyerthandelta]

Mannnnnn NIKE YOU ARE ON THE CLOCK

 

[12 million]

So no more cws???

 

[noblekane]

KD gone bruhs

Calm down b

How many days does Nike have to match?

 

[wafflegeist]

How many days does Nike have to match?

Nike has 24 hours to respond to UA's cash dump challenge

 

[archpopoy]

Nike, which saw its signature business related to the Oklahoma City Thunder  forward grow to roughly $175 million at retail last season, will have the right to match, which is a condition of Durant's current contract with the brand. Durant can still choose Nike if it doesn't match but can't legally choose Under Armour if Nike does.

Well played swoosh.

[thapointguy]

Damn they have to make a quick decision. I was thinking a few days. I don't think they'll match.

He was jokingly making a reference to that ice water challenge craze.

 

[MoneyAmeer]

Doubt it

 

[thapointguy]

Yeah I got the ice challenge part but I thought he was serious with 24 hours lol.
