It's ironic that I'm posting about Chinese-based shoe companies because I'm a Nike/Jordan Brand enthusiast.
The only companies that I'm aware of are Peak, Li-Ning and ANTA Brand. I'm aware that they have been able to lure a decent amount of NBA players with name recognition over the last several years.
I'm really curious to know if they can actually sell some of their shoes priced at $100 or a little higher. I doubt that because some Nike signature shoes can't even sell at a higher price. LeBron James' shoes come to mind, especially in the last few years because they mostly got marked down eventually.
Now, I can easily see them selling for $50 or less, especially if they target the low income demographic.
It seems to be the trend with them luring NBA players who are no longer at the apex of their career or they're in decline with their skill and marketability.
I remember when Jason Kidd went to Peak and had shoes with them in the latter years of his career.
I recall Peak opened a store in Fox Hills Mall around Christmastime 2011. I'm surprised they lasted a few years in there because I assumed it was a lost cause with them trying to sell less popular shoes at $100 or more made by a Chinese company trying to compete with Nike and other established companies. I remember the store ended up moving to the first floor in their latter years in that mall before they closed down.

I find it hilarious that this new era of women have become so supportive of sex work & will applaud a stripper/OF girl/porn star in America all day.
Yet whenever i see a post about men across seas indulging with Sex workers over there for way less money suddenly the men are creeps & losers
Knowing damn well they don't care about those women, they mad because they are bringing down the perceived value of their product

I remember them breaking the North American market during that time as I was getting back to playing basketball. tried out Anta (can't remember exactly since they were terrible) I think and they felt like bricks. never tried anything again after that.
that was a tough era since the D-Rose line was really good, the TS Supernatural, Jordan Wades, 2012 Air Jordans, Hyperdunks, and then those SE/PE or Elite edition Nikes that I forgot what they are called.

Wonder how true this is? doesn't seem that far off considering having kids seems to be a conflict of interest if your trying to get rich

I get the feeling of a faint hint of bubblegum when I’ve had it. My dad always gets it when available.

I'd assume not having children gives some people more disposable income that can be used for investments and such?
