Nike is BYKE.

Is a 10 year deal really the smart move right now? If LeBron taught us one thing, it's the value of riding the crest of the ever increasing rate of free agency. I'm speaking a little out of turn here because I don't know what is typical and not typical of shoe deals like this. All I'm saying is that if we go on some sort of run over the next 3-5 years, wouldn't that $20M per year number be a little light come 2032?

As a very wise and successful biz person once told me— sure, maybe you could do better— but always take the best deal at the time relative to where you are at present.

If you perform, you can always try to negotiate- especially if you’re outperforming….

Worked well with that ACC contract we signed.

And look who was brokering that deal— the same ******* who told Joe we should take Adidas ****** deal- Joe said “ummm… we’ll take it under consideration” (Radakovich)
No different than the tv contract- but that’s an ACC conference decision- Echeveria knew we didn’t have the gravitas or clout to sway anyone in the conference and no leverage to hold out for a better deal b/c we weren’t “ascendant” and our brand had taken a hit
But things are different now
 
Honestly I always liked these 06 or whatever yr they were introduced as a pure design better than the 01 unis - particularly for the green. The white and orange of these were kinda meh to me, but mane these greens were imo the best we've worn of this color... 01 is better for white especially imo. I think our current orange jersey is actually perfect tbh. And Nike should remake their own of this current with relatively little changes.

So give me a reimagined version of: 06 greens, todays orange, and 01 whites, and 2014 grey ones. Plus the random Alt Whites (loved the pro combat white designs and even the Miami ice ones from Adidas), and Black alts (Miami nights have mostly all been good from Adidas imo - especially the 2017 and 2024, versions).
 
The best about this announcement is this:

On the CIS podcast this morning, D$ and AR were talking about the Adidas jersey release and just glazing Adidas and their merch. But then Barry Jackson drops the real scoop of Miami and Nike agreeing on a deal, D$ hops back on and does another show claiming that he heard information about the Miami/Nike partnership back before Miami played Stanford in week 1. Sure, dude.
