Kevin Durant about to get a $30Mill per Year endorsement deal From Under Armour #RocNation

[Flight]

That's what I'm saying. Plus he'll never be the face of Nike with Lebron there anyway...

My boys saying he would be a fool to walk away from Nike, and I'm like

30 million a year is a no brainer to me. Anybody saying otherwise must be a huge Nike stan that thinks KD rocking them will be cooler than him having 30 mil in his pocket for balling in a different brand.

Also in my opinion they still haven't even came up with a good marketing thing for KD outside of that KD ain't nice shyt. I'd take the 30 mill.

I'd take the 30 mil

 

[CantStop]

whoever says they wouldn't take the 30 mill needs to off themselves.

they could have me rocking the HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY Jason Collins limp wrist rainbow colorway for that much.

Man that shid dont matter...homie been in da league for some time now. he got bread n he taken care of his love ones and the hanger ons...

MJ got his first ring at 28 though, don't stress it.

May Allah guide Durant to Islam. Islam is much better than 30 million per year. Plus he can have both!

 

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

I don't understand how endorsements work. I mean from a consumer standpoint. If I see KD wearing UA, I'm not thinking "UA must be good because KD wears it." I'm thinking "KD wears UA because they pay that nikka $30 mil a year."

 

[SpacelySprockets]

I bet u nikkas wouldnt be calling UA sneakers ugly if they had a Nike check on them

Not that I wear them because I dont, I care too much about what people think but let these shyts have had the Lebron or Nike logo instead of the Under Armour logo and u wouldnt have been able to keep these shyts in stores

 

[I.V.]

You know nikkaz is gon' roast you if you walk into school with them UA's

Nah. Under Armor has sponsored some major AAU tournaments, and has a lot of football showcases on lock. Plus they're picking up college sponsorship every season. And now just doing the jerseys/shorts/unis... they're designing tees and sweatshirts for the school as well, so all the students can rock them. It's real dope. BC was reebok for years, and it was trash. Now.... it's dope.

[SpacelySprockets]

What dont u understand sir? Are u saying that having a Nike check on your shoe regardless of how it looks doesnt help with public perception way more than it wouldve had it been any other brand?

Under Armour got the football under the pads gear game on lock, but it's one thing to be rockin' football gear during the game, and to be wearing UA as a fashion statement. Nobody finna be rockin' UAs on some culture schtick

 

[EducatedBrothaFromTheBank]

Don't know if they have the numbers from this year, but shoe sales $ wise for Bron's line was around 5x more than Kobe and 10x more than KD the year before (though Bron's shoes are priced higher)

yeah but that took years tho.. remember his shoes struggled to sell for damn near 5-7 years

true, but those same kids who play for UA sponsored AAU teams, or get free UA gear thrown at them during the annual NBAPA camp, aren't wearing Under Armor kicks for normal everyday street wear like you see with Brons, Kobes, KDs, or Jordans, or even wearing them for their in-game kicks once AAU season ends. They've made alot of ground in the AAU grassroots scene, but they still got a ways to go to get to that next level.

I think Steph had some good PE's this year from UA, no reason they couldn't do the same for KD. For some reason, imo, Nike has never made a good looking KD shoe other than maybe the KD1's. UA needs to get a UA ID setup so i can customize a few pair...
