You guys both have a points. There was a time where I thought everything that Nike did was all about performance, but after working for a shoe company I have realized that ALOT of the "technologies" that we see from these shoe companies is marketing. Alot of these claims by these companies are...

I think Nike is trying to cut cost. Everything is going up in price from a production standpoint so they simply can't afford to sell a shoe with this large expensive carbon fiber plate at $120 anymore. Just look at the size of the plate on current Nike shoes compared to some of Nike's older...

I doubt either will have a shoe line after they retire. Their lines may continue for a season or two but it won't last. Nike is trying to make Lebron the next Jordan but he doesn't have that "it" factor that would put him in the same sentence as Jordan, Michael Jackson, Ali, Ruth, Elvis...

Most people on NT complain about Retro's not using the exact same materials as the original but sometimes they can't. The suppliers come up with different materials every season and they stop producing others. So a certain material that they used they may not do anymore or that supplier may not...

I'm not trying to be a hater but if I read the article correctly they said they have been working on this concept for 2 years. I just find it hard to believe that this upstart company has done in 2 years what multi-billion dollar shoe companies have been trying to do for decades, which is to...

The Zig tech is not a Nike Free knock off. It is based on an entirely different concept. But I will wait until there is more info posted by Reebok before I say anything else.

Nitzski do you work for Reebok?

I think I can speak on this more than anybody here. I know the person that did the redesign of the Ex-O-Fit, he told me that the revised Ex-O-Fit was in theworks before the Yeezy's surfaced. Hi-top shoes, with big tongues, and straps have been trend in the market place for a few years. Its a...

DMXFURY I agree. But Iverson was at his most popular during those first 4-5 years in the league. I think he became somewhat irrelevant playing for subpar teamsin Philly. All the coaching and teammate controversy did not help either. As he became irrelevant so did his shoes and Reebok in general...

Not to mention that the shoe has to still be decent enough design wise for Footlocker or Eastbay to distribute the shoe. If it is too crazy none of those companies would buy the shoe to sell in stores. Most people think the designers have free reign over a shoe but there are so many...

NomadicSole21 said "Not trying to go against what you guys said, but Avar has done alot of work that wouldnt necessarily sell, or have that mass appeal. Its because he hadthe ability to do so and use his creativity as a designer to push the edge on what a basketball shoe should be. Take the...

Actually Avar is designing shoes in the Innovation Kitchen, so theres really no guidelines or boundaries where he can take a shoe...hes just creating what Kobe wants. I seriously myself cant wait for actual photos or detailed shoes, i'd hoop in them nonetheless. I know that...
