Lebron Signs Lifetime Deal with Nike

LeBron James signs lifetime deal with Nike

 

It's a good gig if you can get it. This is the first athlete Nike has signed to a lifetime deal. No figures announced but sources say it will easily surpass Durant's 10 year $300 million dollar deal.

LBJ will be selling shoes for decades to come, just like MJ

[TheDeuce]

LeBron is such a try hard... Smh.

The hate is real. :lol2: :lol2:

Are you implying that Poor-Man's MJ has a deal that has to be renewed? Poor guy...

I am sure Nike has done their research, but does the LeBron brand carry the same cache as Jordan's brand? I am still amazed how much Jordan stuff there is.

I don't see Lebron pushing shoes like MJ does in his 50s.

Not yet, however, no elementary-age kids are aware of Jordan's game, or his shoes. That probably gives LeBron a bump in sales when those kids are spending their tips on shoes in 10-15 years. Then again, I'm no market analyst.

Are you sure about this? Keep in mind Jordan has been out of basketball for 13 years, and not really Jordan in 18 years. Kids in college were 5-9 years old at his retirement. You know a little bit, but you really don't know what is going on at that age. They grew up on LeBron, KD, Kobe, etc., but, the Jordan brand is still HUGE. Again, those folks are smarter than me so I am sure they know what they're doing.

Next time you are around a group of kids that age looks how many of them are wearing UA now.

Yup. Steph will take a large chunk of the market as well. Jordan will continue to sell shoes until the day I die, and will remain ahead of everybody else for some time to come, but in a time where it is trendy to be un-trendy, people are giving up on Jordans, simply because of how many people like Jordan. I really hate my generation. I'll just keep buying my Reeboks and lining AI's pockets.

[InItToWinIt]

A lifetime deal... LBJ is going to get paid big time.

 

As a self proclaimed sneakerhead, I can say Lebron has a long way to go to get his shoes on the same level as Jordan's. A long, long way.

Under Armour or is that a type of shoe?

Just Under Armour in general. Shoes, shirts, hoodies, jackets, etc...
