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

[Hurracanes]

Gotta love nike giving the cane legends shoes early to wear to the game. Huge stage and Nike shows up adidas at one of their "top" schools. It's embarrassing at this point and we need to make the switch. After listening to Ahmon and Pete talk about how all the kids want nike... what are we waiting for?

How about Nike make a better $ offer to Miami? You think Miami really gives a **** who they sign with? This is business. It’s all about $. Nike is the problem here, not Miami.

Come on, man, you know the formal offer can be made in January.

This is a premature report; PSU did a Request for Proposals to negotiate w another company. It’s still pending board approval, and there’s a ton of push back on this. Heard the board does not have this on their agenda currently, & this could be a move that Brazil did to get Nike to ante up their proposal.

But, as someone that absolutely loathe PSU, I hope it happens.

This board is always wrong on 2 things: apparel deals and conference deals.

 

[Canedude08]

Revenue Certainty. Get used to that term, because I'm quite sure that's the word that got mentioned when PSU decided to leave Nike for Adidas. Nike's standard apparel deal is very incentive heavy, where you can make a ton, but what you make can vary. In a revenue sharing world, that isn't going to cut it anymore, because schools need to be able to count on some revenue. They can't afford to "potentially" make money, if the floor is relatively low, which is what Nike offers(Hence why they can afford to have such a large stable. If they had to give every school fair market value, it would get out of control quickly, and they would have to pick and choose).

That said, Nike isn't going to take this lying down, don't be shocked if the next big Adidas school to come on the market, Nike steps up and makes a huge offer, ala Tennessee a decade ago. Guess who that is? MIAMI. So, Nike cultists, you may get your wish, while people like me, who see this as a business deal, will also be happy with the arrangement. If Nike offers a mega deal, I'm all in. Let the bidding war begin!

Are these going to be sold to the general public? I don’t think those IG posters actually know for sure.

Yes, but in limited quantities during this holiday season via Sole Fly & select So Fla. Jordan Brand retailers.

Really clean design but tbh getting them is going to be a real pain in the *** then.

Quite the selling point for a shoe being sold at the UM Bookstore. To students.

Ugly ******* shoe.

Yes. May be sold via the physical stores (in Miami) and the website. Nobody knows the quantities available.

There is a store in Atlanta (a ma maniere) that has special collabs, but I've also seen them sold on the Nike website.

Same with the Undefeated stores (mostly in California). I just scored the Undefeated Jordan 4 that was dropped in-store, on the Undefeated website, AND on the Nike SNKRS app.

Just depends on how many they make and where the offer them.

Rellyrell.cis one of those?

Maybe you haven’t heard, but there’s this thing called the internet. You can purchase things from the UM Bookstore and never set foot in the physical location. Bet you they will be shipping those shoes all over the place.

By the way, those shoes are available on Fanatics, and the Adidas App. I'm quite sure places like Caneswear and AllCanes will have them as well. In other words, places where us old farts can easily get them. I don't know if you haven't noticed, there's a big time retro movement in regards to footwear, don't be shocked if those shoes are popular with sorority girls...

Hypebeasts will get the bulk of them, I’ve seen this play out far too often. Solefly is famous for backdooring stuff, and other shenanigans. Don’t be shocked if you end up on StockX getting ripped off.

Not going to pay 350+, 400+, or probably much more for them. They can play that game for suckers, many of whom probably can’t afford them anyway. I’ll stick with the Forums or the other pairs of Adidas for the games

Does Michael Jordan have final say on what schools get Jordan brand? Would he let another ACC school besides Carolina have Jordan??
