Nike NBA Apparel and Jersey Thread: 2017-18 NBA Season Takeover

Better than "wish"

I thought wish was make a wish foundation.... Now I see it's some online shopping thing which makes it look dumb now. I think the magic have the best sponsor with Disney.

it’s about money

Make a cool steph curry shirt and it sells

Profit? That’s the whole point of Nike being the official outfitter of the league is to capitalize and make money

Not anyone else’s fault UA can’t make a basic tee like that

I'm glad someone gets it, because if I drop crazy $ I'm putting everyone's face on shirt.....
And ppl talk about Nike and JB fan boys

If they have the rights, why wouldn’t they do it. Steph is the most popular player right now

For a few years, Nike couldn’t capitalize off him, now they can get that money man

 

[el bro]

Cmon breh

Im surprised they didnt get his name wrong. Stupid execs at Nike.

Normally, Id agree 100%, and think it was hilarious on top of the fact that I really dont like Under Armour, but Nike straight butchered Steph's deal, and disrespected him in the process. They deserve nothing from his likeness. UA stepped up, and took care of what Nike failed miserably and pathetically to do. Im a Nike guy through and through, but I also know they make stupid idiotic mistakes a bunch and should be called out as such. Not that this will change anything, but I felt it needed to be said.

Nike did screw up but they also didn’t expect him to turn into what he is today

Wasn’t the negotiations before his MVP and finals and all that? Like a year or two prior?

I guess they just looked at his as just another star player, no one expected him to explode into what he currently is.

Yep, it's back when SC was only known for his brittle ankles.

 

[weepwomp]

Yeah Nike had no idea an undersized guard with ankle problems would turn into the superstar he is. They tend to gravitate toward bigger wings anyway. Jordan, Kobe, Lebron, Durant, etc.

I think Bazemore had a big influence on Curry's decision. When "Blazemore" was a rookie he was getting a big hook up from UA. Especially considering he was pulling a few minutes per game. Dude said he got 60 boxes of shoes from them 1 season.

You're acting like Nike spit in his face, lol. They pronounced his name wrong once and didn't predict the future.

This was exactly my point

 

[b20 eg8]

Kobe and Jordan are gonna be available 9/29
$200

 

[thatallone34]

Authentic game shorts will be $150 and swingman shorts will be $80. Via Eastbay

 

[ultralightbeam]

Interested to see what the key differences are in the shorts.

That’s steep for some shorts tho. I was looking forward to some authentic OKC blue ones, but I might need to wait on a discount. Lol

 

[carolinakickg]

Yeah that’s a lot. I’ll hoop in them so the lower price will be fine for me.

 

[thatallone34]

I hope the shorts sizes go at least to 3XL. Nike’s shorts lately been kinda fitted. I know that’s the style, but I’m old school. I want my boys to breathe. Lol

I’m assuming they will run like the college team shorts, which aren’t as fitted as the generic basketball ones

Was hoping shorts would be $125

Oh well

 

[bballkid11]

150. Smh. 80. Smh

Practice shorts prolly 60 then. Ouch.

same here.

ill pass on shorts, for 150 id rather have the MN throwback shorts. practice shorts look underwhelming too

This is true. I was surprised the college shorts got a little baggy recently.

Yep same here. I only wanted to ball in them so no point in paying that. Maybe ill grab the 3/4 dri fit team shorts if they are around 50 or so.

Off-topic but should we post NBA FEET here or someone should create a separate thread for it?
