⭐ OFFICIAL 2020-2021 NBA Off-Season Thread: Olympics begin 7/23; NBA Draft 7/29⭐

Who said those things

Look at the reps too. Where all y'all that was co-signing that madness???

 

[Based Jesus]

I was wrong about how Steph would look this season but I was right about the Warriors being bad

 

[storm2006]

Yeah, this discussion made me think about JB. Zion got a sig (second ever after Washedbrook)...they going to give Luka one or nah? I think he’s deserving

 

[shotsrangout]

Nike should cancel PG's and KD's sig lines. I think they should ax Bron's too, but that will probably no happen.

Kyrie's can stay for now, and Giannis' line just started so give it a few more models.

Nike Basketball seems like a damn mess though. They sent Luka and Zion to JB, their other athletes don't even wear their new stuff, and their signature models are lackluster year after year.

Sad thing is them zion signatures look like outlet bound joints too

 

[Armada]

The new Nike Cosmic Unity's look better than pretty much every nike sig shoe the last 5 years

Huh, a few other players have had JB sigs

I don't know what Nike was thinking with that. I get they are trying to market JB more, but Luka seemed like a dude they would want to give his own thing.

 

[nick.]

These Puma's probably my favorite hoop shoe to release recently

 

[RustyShackleford]

Nike execs must be looking at Ben Simmons in disgust too

You're right, my bad. I read that in an article I was skimming about Zion's (or at least thought I did) which I was quoting Maybe it meant only other athlete currently with a JB Sig? What Js is CP rocking?

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

What they really need to do is stop selling jordans. Don't nobody want them damn shoes no more b. How many times I'm supposed to get hype for some bred elevans? Concentrate on the LeBron line. At this point I'm either rocking timbs or wallabees you heard.

 

[had pants]

 

[storm2006]

While we're on the topic of Nike sigs...Never forget Paul Pierce's sigs only came in kid's sizes

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Luka ain't moving enough units. Especially not in the US. I can see them doing the Paul Pierce thing and do a kids line for him or something. Think there's reason Zion jumped the line there.

I can't think of any current (young and upcoming) Nike guys who'd be marketable enough for a sig line. Maybe there's another level of visibility for Booker to get to. Maaaaaaaybe Ja.

I'll be interested to see what Jalen Green does tho. He has the visibility amongst the kids. If he booms...he could move product.

Also - are these shoes trash in terms of

Think CP still has his own shoe; but I don’t know where (if) they sell them. They stopped making new versions of Melo’s sig shoe years ago. He’s been wearing the flagship AJ for the last couple years.

Edit Yep, this is the CP XIII

But I saw no evidence on line of it being available for sale anywhere.

Someone trying to steal fruit from your front yard

 

[jab step]

I don't know the numbers since it seems like Nike doesn't release it, but what signature model does move units? It doesn't seem like people are interested in wearing basketball shoes as casual sneakers either.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Nike tricked it off not getting Steph.

 

[BIG FISH]

I had the paul pierce and jermaine oneal joints as a kid lol

 

[lawdog1]

Nah. We don’t have any fruit trees. Plus, that alert pops up any time someone walks by. It’s annoying.

All the next up guys signed to JB which makes zero sense to me.

I don’t know the method to their madness either but it seems like JB has been getting prominently featured more and more over the years. Getting the next up guys you mentioned, making the “Statement” jerseys which I feel I see every night. They should have capitalized on this awhile ago if there intention is to grow that brand.

Nike is trying to market JB as some parallel brand to Nike now it seems.

That’s fair. I’ve let my dogs **** in theirs.
