MEGA New Miami Adidas Ultraboost🔥 - The Shoe and Nike/Adidas Thread.

[TheOriginalCane]

BC has been with NB before. Once their UA deal went under, that’s who they ended up with. I’m quite sure that happened before Blake got there.

Good lord, your posts are so clowny.

MOTHER****ING BETA BLAKE SIGNED A 10-YEAR DEAL WITH A SUB-STANDARD SHOE COMPANY.

Sound familiar?

And cut the crap about "BC has been with NB before". Boston College's deal with UnderArmour began in 2010 (signed in 2009). Before that BC was with Reebok. Boston College has only "been with New Balance" for non-football sports since 2021. That means that Beta Blake was the one who decided to move away from UnderArmour completely.

Oh, but maybe all the Boston College players have fat feet...

No, that one's a fair observation.

U’re conflating two different things. They underperformed b/c

1. They overcorrected the market during the pandemic, which eventually caught up w them under their previous CEO. What worked for Nike when the world was shut down severally backfired in their face when the world opened back up, namely, choking off long time brick & mortar partners to go digitally direct.

2. That domino effect opened ways for brands like Puma, NB, & Adidas to fulfill a demand of retail space they didn’t have before which ate into Nike sales.

3. Nike also was not keeping up w trends. They went away from endorsing or making athletes the face of the brand, settling for influencers or hype beast to be their driving point. The problem w hype beast is they r hyped today & yawned on tomorrow.

4. The other trend they didn’t keep up w/ was during the pandemic, ppl started walking again, being more outdoor. Companies like NB, Hoka, & On fulfilled this lane and opened up new options.

So yes, it was a complete crescendo that led to Nike losing its market share by a couple of % points, while also having inventory that didn’t sell due to certain parts of the world deciding to support their own vs. other brands. (See China)

However, Ur point was “Nike needs to get it **** together”, correct? They’ve already corrected & will continue to correct this. Their shares were already rising b/c of these corrections b4 the tariffs hit which put a new strained relationship between them & China/Taiwan (their 2nd & 3rd largest markets).

I’m very much aware of how my portfolio looked 3 yrs ago vs. today & I also know the business plan & how that business plan was going to take approx. 1 yr for it to see its full fruition. It’s also a great opportunity to invest in them today while it’s relatively low, b/c every expert in the industry know w/ their Nike market share, profitability, & business plan, their shares will balloon in approx 12-14 months.

what the **** is a hype beast.. and i ain't googling it lmao

what the **** is a hype beast.. and i ain't googling it lmao

A hype beast is someone who is all about the hype of the shoe/apparel (rarity, celebrity endorsement, popularity, word-of-mouth, impressing-others) rather than the quality of the shoe/apparel.

People who talk about the next drop as "must-have", before it's even commercially available. And then they try to profit from the resale market.

If your question is a serious one, the best advice I can give you is to get with a financial advisor, and think about some mutual funds, index funds, and other investment vehicles so that you can invest your money in something that is compatible with your risk tolerance.

And by financial advisor, I would recommend someone that is with one of the major houses, and is a fiduciary. Assuming your question is a serious one, what you probably don’t want to do is jump into the water by yourself, so it’s really important to talk it out with someone more knowledgeable than yourself and who understands what your needs, financial situation, and employment benefits are, as well as ultimate goals are.

One little bit of advice I would give when you’re talking to an advisor: since you’re a novice, probably the best way to go would be to get some type of portfolio that involves balanced asset allocation, dollar cost averaging if you’re in an employee savings plan, and has mentioned previously something that jives with your risk tolerance.

A good place to ask questions would be the thread that @JD08 linked you to, but bear in mind, there’s some cowboy investors in there who have high risk tolerance, and that may not be what you want now., but there are probably also other investors who might understand where you’re coming from

Thanks. I was going to get with Charles Schwab I think that’s who USAA is sort of partnered with.

Sounds like a plan. I wish you the best of luck.

Nike wouldn’t give a **** about them either. They are Southern Mississippi, no outfitter will bend over backwards for them. Thats why being a midmajor stinks.

U say things w/ so much hubris, yet u’re often wrong. So my only ?’s to u r, y do u continue to pontificate on matters u’re literally out of ur depth on? Y do u continue to spread information that’s not only easily verifiable, but has been debunked time & time again?

Believe it or not, many smaller schools once affiliated by Adidas have made switches to Nike or Under Armour due to:

1. Quality of fan merch
2. Availability of fan merch
3. Teams given mismatched uniforms
4. Lack of attention
In fact:

I literally can go on & on & on. U keep equating what happened w our practice jerseys or Nike’s unwillingness to match Adidas’ offer w “they don’t care about programs”, & I already told u this school chose to convert uniform supplies for cash, & no one was willing to match Adidas’ offer b/c it was a bad deal.

****, we now have UW fans crying about the quality of fan gear, availability, & Adidas’ inability to restock on item they do like, citing they feel Adidas focuses on who’s hot for the brand at the time. Lmao

Had to keep this one under wraps, but it’s official, official now.

I’m posting this to highlight two things:

1. Y u never sign a mediocre deal for over 10 yrs
2. How base #’s are never the guideline.

AU has renewed twice w Nike, while we have been stuck in the same Adidas contract during this time frame. ASU has renewed twice w Adidas, while we are still stuck in yr 1.

Nike has more than doubled Arizona’s financial allocations, however, what u won’t see r the incentives that’s laid out.

1. Our current contract pays us roughly $7m via apparel + cash allotment, w zero performance incentives or % of royalties

2. AU’s new contract is going to be a base of $5.15 - 5.85m/yr.

On the surface, this looks like $7>5.85m, & this is where a couple of posters continually mistake raw data as “better.”

This new contract will also add bonuses for different program’s achievements (i.e football team makes bowl games/CFP, basketball team wins conference/NCAA tournaments, etc). More importantly, it will come w/ merchandising royalties. (A standard 15%)

Every season, their contract will outperform ours despite what the base #’s look like.

It's almost as if...certain posters...should actually listen to the people who have worked in the sports industry and know these numbers well...

It's almost as if...certain posters...should actually listen to the people who have worked in the sports industry and know these numbers well...

Its actually almost as if this changes the argument I made literally 0 lol. I do wonder if at any point you will ever admit you have been basically fully misrepresenting my argument the entire time lol. Half his main point, yet again, is about the contract length. Do I gotta find the post where I clearly pointed to all the evidence of me agreeing with that point the entire time, which you just happen to ignore/lie about? lol. Like Come on....

And I'd hope a brand new contract outperformed ours in year what 10 of our deal lol. The argument has literally never been is it possible to make more with a lower base amount lol. But if we have a new offer from Adidas with a base contract value of $15M vs Arizonas $5M, then it's maybe up for debate on who makes more, and whether the more money upfront guaranteed is likely or not to be surpassed with a back-end heavy contract.... You know my entire point the entire time lol....
