. They match the Penny perfectly
 
Good stuff Rock, I was never really sure about how the gave shoes out or how many players could get.

But for a thing like the Six Rings and CDP's on the Uconn guys . Can those guys point out at they really want those shoes and just get them?

Same goes for last year. A few guys on Syracuse last year had the orange retro 8's....would they have to get those themselves or could they get it throughthe school?
 
No matter wat happens in tha UNC vs Oklahoma game its gonna be 4 Nike teams in the Final Four

Put it this way.....

UConn = RIP
Cuse = Melo
UNC = Jordan

They are going to make sure their guys have "perks" if you will which isn't illegal at all. There's not a NCAA rule on how many shoes a kidcan have.

wow...mich st beat Louisville....wow...

and THERE goes my Brackets.....

Depends on the schools contract with Nike. Nike is either paying the school for the rights to sell their merchandise or the School has a smaller tier contract and pays so much for an allotment. Theres some stuff inbetween also.

For the bigger schools i.e. Georgetown, UNC, Cinci (Huggins day), UConn, Duke...

Nike picks EVERYTHING that school will get, BUT Designers and PLMs visit the school to get info from the players on what they like and prefer in certain shoes. Those schools act as wear testers ON COURT in a sense... which is why you will see UNC wearing ALL sorts of stuff on the Jordan line and even a few Nike products.

There's a lil irritation when Nike sends products to Jordans folks...but it happens in reverse for the Nike schools too...i.e. UConn...Syracuse and Wake Forest... Players at these spots have almost unlimited access to stuff. Yet they are directed still in most cases what to wear on court during games.

For schools like Maryland, Marquette (Converse) and such are sent an allotment as mentioned before by someone else, and some players are allowed 3 pairs per season. Some players complain their joints are garbage and try and get more, but it depends on the player if the Coach allows them another pair.

It used to be those extras stayed at the school and players could still have access to old stuff. Nike will now ask certain schools to return unused product which is what you see showing up at Ross and such.

This same thing happens with Lebrons stuff he doesnt use or which is PROMO and not used by certain players is returned to campus and shredded or gaffled by employees.

Some think Pro Players get all that stuff free, but some have COntracts where they are charged against the amount of product they get. Its alot that goes into it but Im rambling. Hope I answered that... Im sick..lol

On O-State I can not give a definitive answer....and reason being is, not too many folks were keen at first wearing the shoes and gear of a person they"thought" would have went there... but as they get some Bron Stuff.. i know for a fact that SVSM and Fairfax get more product per student than OState does...

Yea. The only player that I have seen wear them is JB Tanner I think. Some of the others got elites on. I've seen pics on tarheelblue withhim wearing them but nobody else. From what I can tell is they have blue panels with like a blue upper. The bottom part is white. I think the heel is blue.Here is a pic from after the game. The guy between Lawson and Roy has on the 2009's.
