well, Derrick Rose's high school team (Simeon) and aau team (Meanstreets) were both sponsored by Nike when he played for them. i hope he signs with Nike,that would be a good pickup.

Derrick Rose is also connected to World Wide Wes. If you don't know him, Google him, and it will all make sense. Nike will most likely sign him to a Product only Contract, as Nike already deemed this years Draft Class nothing to sneeze at even with Beasley coming out. None will be pitched to get signature shoes, other than Candace. She's the Highest Profile person coming out of College this year in Nike's eyes.
Candace Parker signed with Adidas....

When looking where a kid will sign his initial shoe contract always look at their AAU team. More often than not they tend to sign with those they got to themback in high school.

What kind of logic is this? Receiving huge shoe contracts before playing the first game started with Lebron five years ago. He didn't earn his in the league before he signed did he? Not to say anyone in this draft will get a sig shoe their first year, but this is old news man. Derrick Rose has great potential, but he still has a lot of growing to do as a player-he needs to figure out when to pass and when to use his explosive scoring abilities.

That's exactly my point. This kid getting a possible contract for a shoe before he steps for on a NBA court is ridiculous to me and un-earned. I stillbelieve Lebron didn't deserve his Nike endorsement, unfortunately that just set precedent for these kids who are coming out of college and getting andalmost expecting some kind of endorsement before proving themselves on the court.
 
Hey it threw all of us a curveball. With our Brand Manager being firedlast week, there has been alot of things in flux so I can admit, I stunk up the joint on that call. But at least you guys will be getting your QS andMcFly's still. Unless those are cancelled for release and show up on ebay. I doubt at 10K pairs that will happen.
 
Slim has been off lately. I thought it was just me who saw it...

And when I see McFly's, i'll let it go.
 
adidas has the inside track. My guess is adidas. Derrick Rose signed up with Wasserman Media Group. His agent will be BJ Armstrong. Most of the WMG clientshave contracts with adidas.

looking back at my post, I don't know what I was thinking whenI replied your post man-my fault. I completely agreed with your first post.
 
I have a feeling nike will give derrick some cheezy logo like a Rose with initials DR as petals or leaves maybe
 
Peep this a few weeks ago my boys here in LA say he was at NTLA getting over a grand off free stuff at Niketown but when someone talked to one of his boys theysaid he was closer to signing with Adi. So who knows. Adi equip is whack. He may not get a Nike sig right away but the tech is bar none the best. Peace

Slim provides lots of good info, don't know why people are getting on his case.

As for that owned pic, straight classic pic that's saved forever.
