Westbrook was at the Cowboys game yesterday wearing Chuck Taylors and a Nike Dez Bryant jersey
the jersey i could see because nike makes the jerseys but maybe he doesnt know nike owns converse?
stay strong

Why go to Nike and get a team shoe with your initials then go to a another brand get your own shoe with your own logo with your own insight on the design Nike have brain washed us in believing that they make the best kicks with the best players because of there marketing
But as soon as one shoe company gets the right player with the right design the right concept and the right marketing Nike watch out !!

So the Rose line has the same appeal as Penny and his foam now?

Didn't say he won't come back. Read.
How well his shoes sell will depend on his career. Not trying to bash Adidas here. They're still banking with the nba jersey deal, soccer deal etc. Just trying to point out the fact that Adidas will never reach Nike level because their NBA athletes has come and gone with knee injuries over the years thus ruining their marketing alot

Blake is still under contract with Nike so he can't leave....yet. He also has a visit with JB coming up (if it hasn't happened yet).
Hearing Russy is leaning towards signing with JB, but who knows.
UA did throw a boatload of $ at Blake, but if you want to talk about performance he'll be begging to get into Nikes again if he signs with UA like Deandre was doing this season. They do absolutely no testing on their products, just straight go-to market.

Not sure what you're inferring here, that adidas cause knee injuries? It's the nature of the beast when you sign athletes as endorsers.
DRose is also 23, low NBA miles on his legs, and the character questions of Gill and TMac don't at ALL extend to DRose.

Just for the record, ADIDAS has not reached out and signed Russell Westbrook.
You're welcome.

I think thats a great example.. the Penny Foam wasnt as popular then as they are now.. everyone thought the Foamposites were ugly and too expensive.. The Penny 1,2 really set off the Penny line.

The '84 in your nickname for 1984? I hope not 'cos you should be able to remember that OG Pennys all made the sales rack when they first dropped. Foams up until 2007-2008 were only worn by people who genuinely liked athletic sneakers or liked Foamposites.
Penny's line is enjoying a renaissance due to Nike marketing and the Nike/JB sneaker fad that's rampant now.
Anyways, jordandotcom was pointing out that Penny was oft injured WHILE wearing Nike and it had more to with his conditioning and durability rather than the sneakers.

thanks for the info.
adidas reaching out to sign westbrook might be in his best interest if its about the money.
we as shoe buyers might ahve our favorites but **** if a company is gonna pay me twice the amount another one is brand loyalty goes out the window...

Again, ADIDAS has not reached out to Westbrook as erroneously reported, as they are focusing on their new signings of Ricky Rubio, Austin Rivers, Harrison Barnes, Quincy Acy, Dre Drummond, PJ3, Dame Lillard, Ty Taylor, and Josh Selby.

yes lets all take the word of the guy that lies 90 percent of the time about things
the guy who was wrong about the rose 3 price tag...for all we know westbrook could have turned down the adidas offer for Jordan. NOBODY knows.
adidas philippines an OFFICIAL Adidas twitter account jumped the gun and all but announced he had signed with adidas then pulled the twit down
so this adidas not reaching out to westbrook sounds false. or a cover.
like someone had said earlier jordan and adidas are probably in a bidding war for him and he changed his mind at the last minute

So again, ADIDAS did NOT reach out to Russell Westbrook who is a fine ballplayer, as they are intent on developing their younger players.

What does that have to do with anything?
The focus is on visibility, which is imperative.
