Wow, this is pretty weird to hear about... definitely want to see something official on it, but wow. It's not the end of the world or anything, since he really doesn't have that much longer to go... but the Nike shoes that he has worn throughout his career have ALWAYS been a hit with me, and have always been some of the best performing guard shoes out there, whether they got all the attention they should have or not.
Still will be interested to see what he comes out with next. Luyou? We'll see.

The target market isn't America.
A Chinese brand signing Steve Nash helps with credibility and brand awareness in China, where 300 Million people play basketball.
The US landscape is dominated by one brand, and the next frontier of the basketball industry is certainly in China.

I don't think the Chinese brands are sponsoring players to generate interest in American fans, but to catch the eye of Chinese viewers. These brands don't need anyone in the US to buy their products to be successful.

Exactly. If you have KG, Kidd and Nash in your shoes then it adds credibility despite the players time in their career. Those players are psuhing product most the time not available in the U.S. (except something like Baron Davis shoes). Its like those scorer table banners in Chinese in NBA several cities...not for the U.S. but for those watching overseas.

Yup, I'm with you here Crazy EBW...it will be hard to view guys like Nash, Kidd and Andre Agassi as anything other than Nike guys...These decisions can only be viewed as end of the road bank account stuffers...really unfortunate and sad though to see him leave the swoosh

Why is it hard to view them in other brands? Why is it unfortunate and sad to see him leave Nike?Originally Posted by bundy9

Wonder how much money they offered him, cuz you gotta wonder for a possibly fledgling company, is it really worth it to splash out a great amount of cash on a dude near retiring??? I guess market visibility is worth it...
I don't understand the reasoning here. He's still going to play basketball, and Nike is still going to make good (and bad) shoes.

It's not that it's hard to see them in a different brand, cuz with a business decision to be made and the many benefits they can achieve... the decsion is rather easy. The "difficulty" is seeing considering as they have built their names and careers with a particular brand (Nike or otherwise for that matter) and to see them move away from that in the twighlight of their careers....You're absolutely right though, as with or without them, Nike or other brands will continue to make good/bad shoes and continue without them, but once you've grown accustomed to seeing them in one light it's a bit tough to see them under another (in this case- a lesser known) spot-shadow...that's all really...a bit of bias but understanding the situation/circumstances at the same time....Originally Posted by DeezyVSOP
