puma has come out with nice shyt though. It’s not like they selling only trash b-ball shoes and people buy em cuz of Jay. The designs have been on point.
I agree but people still need others to validate something is cool in order for them to get behind it and rock it. Hence the reason Adidas didn't mind cutting checks to Kanye and Beyonce. They know people will follow.

You’re right. You gotta have the right designs AND the right endorser. It’s gotta be both.

Me and you could bring back LA Gear or British Knights tomorrow if they hired us. All we'd have to do is give Drake a job as president and give him a 5 year contract just to be a figurehead and rock the brand daily. If he's still influcial after that then we re-up.

Also, give up and coming artists that have a large social media following endorsement deals. NBA Youngboy has 9 million followers on IG, I'd give him an endoresment deal right now.

It wasn't Jay-Z that did it alone. They got Rihanna and signed a lot of NBA dudes. I don't recall seeing Jay ever rocking that shyt. He's just smart enough to bring in folk with influence.
