Nike made $30.6 billion...so tell me, what portion of that you think is driven by black Americans...wait, black american youths since according to you they are powering Nike :jbhmm:


Contracts with professional sports... Started with the ABA and when college basketball started to pop... both are synonymous with nikka swag....... jumped the shark with NCAAF and the NFL...... now what do those players look like...... :stopitslime:

No it doesn't... Shaq and A.I. kept there shoes affordable..... Durant could still keep those shoes in an affordable price range.... This is a money grab attempt by Nike since he's in a bigger market..... May or may not backfire...


When was ai'a affordable nikka,....

See this is selective hate cause you know damn well yo favorite player had you coughing up bread, too.

I ain't a kd shoe rocker cause they not hittin no more.
Yet, y'all nikkaz know this is nike and kd preparing to get kd that bron in Miami shoe run money.

So, I don't know why y'all fronting on the process.
More than one black guy should sell a bunch of shoes if they are gonna get sold.
Might as well do the necessary steps as the braintrust of that business says to do if they expect a leap in profits and want to maximize them.
At least it is a black guy, doing it for his endorsed product.

The question mids were under 70 bucks either his rookie year, or first year as a pro....


All the shoes for top athletes start at an inexpensive medium.

Mid ai's were double what a pair of hit-top Jordan i's originally were.
So, you following them playing double up on the Jordan model.
What was the price of the second ai's,.....


See this is where people need to learn knowledge about the shoe game.

Most people don't even know when jordan's start costing one hundred dollars and why exactly.

Can you tell me why, jordan's jumped in price?

A.I. shoes did increase in price with future releases... . The spike In Jordan's is indicative of social branding in its infancy so to speak...

Jordan was a social icon, and thus Nike demanded a premium for his premiere apparel

black love, unity, and music
I paid 120 for the pbj Durants for my daughter . She not even in kindegarten. After this comment I'll never purchase another pair for me or my family . Back to Kobes we go:manny:
Why are you buying $125 shoes for a child that will outgrow them in 6 months? I hope you're independently wealthy with those kinds of spending habits..
