WHY DID JORDAN BRAND LET GO OF KAWHI?

[Real]

Prolly cuz the nikka has the personality of a Graham cracker

 

[fifth column]

I'm in marketing breh, ideally you would want an athlete to represent your brand that kids want to be and that their mothers want to be with. Kawhi doesn't fit in either slot. No cred with the kids and acts as if he'll push their mothers away if they tried to hug him.

Kawhi has no sustainable shoe market.

Kawhi has no sustainable shoe market.

Top 3 player in the league yet he's not even top 15 in jersey sales

 

[FS4LFE]

I just copped a pair of New Balance’s.

 

[Dwight Howard]

He ain't moving sneakers like that

 

[DoubleClutch]

His camp wanted more than $20m so they let him walk

That’s crazy they only offered him $20 million

They still could’ve got him for cheap and just gave him what he deserved

Not New Balance got a hit shoe and new face of their brand

 

[Youngdev]

Talk about bad timing. He’s the closest thing to MJ since Kobe. New Balance hoops actually are relevant for the first time I can remember and Russell Westbrook shoes going on the sales rack

Reminds me of when Nike dropped curry right before his breakout season

Are new balance basketball sneakers really releveant tho? You seen people hooping in them or wearing them ?

Just cause he signed there and is one of the best players in the league dont mean they basketball department is relevant

It’s more of a collector/hype thing. His shoe is selling out and reselling for 1k +

He’s like a god in Toronto right now. Imagine if he wins a title

Nike took a big L

 

[duckbutta]

His nike shoes didn't sell that well...he was hurt and not playing thus not visible...he already didn't talk much and didn't seek public attention...

Then his uncle comes in and says they want a new deal for more money than his original deal...

You run a business...and a guy who is not one of your top sellers gets hurt...sells EVEN LESS than he already was...then comes you and says "i should be paid more money than you are paying me now"...

What are you going to do?

 

[Left.A1]

I would have waited to see how his New Balance merch sells first outside of a limited release before making this thread ....

 

[Michael's Black Son]

Because he's a mute with no personality. Dudes like him and Tim Duncan don't deserve their own shoes because they can't be good pitchmen for the brand.

Save that money for Zion, no kid in grade school wants to be Kawhi.

Exactly. Marketing is one thing, producing/winning is another. MLB been having a headache with Mike Trout because he refuses to be actively part of the marketing effort. Meanwhile you can be like wanna Kournikova and never win at shyt but these brands will still holla to make that endorsement happen.

 

[ISO]

It’s not Kawhi. Jordan brand sucks.

 

[AlainLocke]

Kawhi is like the most boring and dull person in the world.

He ain't selling shoes.

Plus Jordan Brand sucks outsides of selling the same fukking shoes made 20 years ago over and over again in limited releases.

Neither does Durant, Nike just gave him another 300mil

 

[KingJay]

Who the hell would buy Kawhis
















fukk him
