Is Nike no longer as cool as it used to be?

[calibeebee]

you mad they make sizes for bigger people? assuming you want the above models to get into the gym and lose weights, they need clothes to wear while doing so correct? Also the top girl isn't even fat.

No no. I didn’t mean for this to come off as fat shaming. I just picked the first two pictures that popped up on Nikes website when I clicked on “clothing” tab under women. First one looks like it’s marketed as designer aesthetic, (which is a pretty niche market) and the pink outfit is more all inclusive to traditional gym attire.

In my opinion, it seems like they need to pick an identity and do it well, in order to maintain what made them dominant in the first place.

Ant Man has one of the few basketball sigs that can worn casually with a fit

I like my AE 1's with athletic wear. Nylon or basketball shorts, sweats, trackpants.

I don't like them with denim.

Don't care for the Dames, Spydas and Traes, but adidas is doing a good job with the Ants and Hardens as far as setting them apart visually. They stand out on the court and really epitomize the players.

Nike’s fallen off. IMO, they’re not worth the premium right now.

They need more meaningful innovation and cultural impact to be more relevant in a time where our attention can see an entire landscape of appealing athletic wear brands and products. That said, they’re always one impactful person or product away from relevance.

I mean yea I don’t disagree with the new Jordan’s. But to me Jordan’s died with the 23. That’s the very last one I recognize. I stopped wearing Js in 2009 personally outside of Jordan 1 lows so I go even further.

But I still wear Kobe’s casually as those are the last shoes I wore when I played balled before I had to give it up so it’s nostalgic to me. But outside of that yea I wear AM1s some flyknits and such. Nike designs have gotten lazy but style shifts are a big reason. Nike never really did dad shoes which are in now. But I can’t even get down with that style

Edit: I do wear Pegasus but they are comfortable as hell for walking.

Same died after the 23

Agreed it’s not a jeans shoe. But it’s a fantastic sneaker. And only $120 instead of $220

CEO WAS CHEEKS

 

[us3less]

John Donahoe is out?! Thank goodness!

 

[Fozz]

LFG!

 

[Air Champa]

Seeing they're on the Jordan 39 now, will there ever be a point where they stop making new Jordans? I stopped at the 17s. Are they still making lots of money for Nike?

I’ll hold my breath. Getting a OG is okay but as long he’s not out of touch of what the real modern consumer expects.

Right they really should stop. I doubt they’re breaking even on them

Yeah, I'm seeing that Elliott (the new guy stepping in) was really involved with commercial and marketing operations according to the official statement, so it makes me wonder if there is truly gonna be any improvement for product innovation and quality changes itself, but it seems that they may not go towards that direction.

Nike CEO was obviously part of the freak nicks with Diddy.

I'm confused. They never had him before he went to NB

Let's see what happens

 

[WASHED KING]

Can someone explain to me in basketball terms what 50/50 means.

 

[Kierris]

They really fired my dog Donahue.. so many modern classics released during his tenure. Hopefully Nike knows what they're doing.

50 home runs and 50 base steals this season.

"Freak OFF" would be the correct terminology.
