>[INSERT BRAND] is too big to fail!Holy fuck. What happened?
nigs
Clothing brands are all about the consumers perception of the brand, and Nike became a ghetto brand. Simple as
>>62665389say... how's tommy hilfiger doing these days?
when i see that logo first thing that comes to mind is a gang shooting in some dead city like baltimore
>not buying the obvious bottom
>>62665405where can they move their sweatshops that aren't gonna get hammered by tariffs tho? maybe when the dems in in 2028 they will fly high again
>>62665405Buying something that's getting delisted? thats insane
>>62665374Chinese century
>>62665411>removed from the sp500 is the same as beign delistedthis isn't crypto
Let's be realThe only reason nike became a mega global brand is because most white people weren't fatigued yet and Jordan acted white enoughNow we have peak fatigue and athletes turning everything into a political situation So no shit, of course Nike is plummetting
>>62665411Kicked out of SP500 index is not delisting. You can still buy it on the NYSE.
The whitest men on this Earth, slavs, love Adidas. Who loves Nike?There you go.
>>62665440Yep, but it means they don't get automatic buys every 2 weeks from people buying the sp500 via their 401k
>>62665447Crocs are the White man's shoe
>>62665458I have $400 dollar boots made by white Europeans, jeans and I buy t-shirts in bulk. I have more than 60 t-shirts. Basic t-shirts, black, white and dark blue. I also buy my underwear in bulk. You don't need to wash your jeans so I barely do any laundry. The boots are really good and last +10 years.

>>62665478What explains this?
>>62665389The same will happen to Gucci and Louis Vuitton, only ghetto people wear those now (although counterfeit), and the nouveau riche (which might be even worse for the brand image, because they're wearing the real stuff)Those brands appeal to that demographic now, it's already going from a brand for the wealthy and sophisticated to a brand for the vulgar nouveau riche in the mind of people, i don't know who's responsible for embracing this new clientbase, but they're quite literally killing the brands.
>>62665458100% this
>>62665501Extremely rich people don't wear branded clothing apart from celebrities who are advertising the stuff
>>62665478ralph lauren shit fits sooo good their hoodies and pants are perfect for my tall skinny ass, those european brands all fit weird.
>>62665440>>62665454damn are u guys illiterate it clearly says s&p100 not 500
Imma buy this dipThese fags still sell for tens of billions and make tens of millions every year
>>62665374Poor quality. Here in Europe Nike isn't associated with blacks or any subculture, it's just a common shoe brand. But a bad one. Essentially everyone's buying shoes from domestic companies that are unknown on a grand scale because the quality is better. I also heard that Nike implemented shitty selling practices and scalping, so this isn't surprising at all. They fucked up and got too greedy while being shit quality, on a global scale.
>>62665506True. The issue is that there used to be a time where luxury brands such as LV of Gucci were worn by >very rich people>people not necessarily extremely rich, but well of and with a strong sense of taste and classBoth demographics didn't mind sharing the space, because the extremely rich gave the brand its luxurious image, and the classy gave the brand an aura of sophistication.In some way Hermes still has that, because it hasn't targeted the ghetto demographic (of which a small percentage is very wealthy, rappers, drug dealers etc).Gucci and LV on the other hand totally went that way, and in the process made a lot of money. But they absolutely destroyed their image in the process, because no one with money and class want to wear the same clothes as a nafri influencer, or a footballer.The issue is that the nafri influencers, and the other nouveau riche are trying to imitade the oldsmoney and the classy people (although they have no class and usually imitate them with great delay), once they realise that no one with class, style, and money buys Gucci and LV anymore, the brands will collapse, just like Nike did.
>>62665507Thank you hungry skeleton
>>62665494Anecdotal but since like 2006 I've bought a pair of Nike running shoes every other year, specifically for running. I bought a pair in 2023 and they fell apart in several months, again in 2024 and they fell apart in 6 months and even when new my feet hurt in them. Bought a pair of new balance last year and they've been great and still going. I was a very loyal customer but something changed and I can't afford to hurt my feet
>>62665374I'm south american. prices of both adidas and nike products went up by a lot after the pandemic.I've been buying skechers and so far their products have been good.
>>62665521macy's told me they don't stock 32x34 cuz no one that tall is that skinny and i'm like huh i'm like 6'1 180 which is like absolutely average. is macy's failing? they should be.
>>62665523yeah the last pair of nikes i had which was back during the bush administration was really unstable and somehow hurt my knees which were young af back then and should not have any sort of aches and pain. i switch to new balance, been getting them ever since. also nike has lame wide sizing in that they just have regular or wide, new balance has different wides. like for casually walking around i 2e but for running i go 4e etc. it feels like new balance really makes shoes for runners while nike makes shoes for rich black guys to collect i guess? i don't know.
>>62665551>absolutely average.Not in burgerstan
>>62665551Is 34" leg really for tall people? I'm like 5' 8" and a 32" leg fits me just fine. I'd have thought someone actually like tall tall would need more than just the next one up from me.
>>62665520ralph lauren manages this with regular polo label for normie retail with the horse and other branding, but then purple label for rich mfs that don't want labels on their shit.
>>62665551I’m 30x34>6’1 140lbs
>>62665577damn now that's fucking skinny
>>62665494Nike forgot you have to make good shoes. Asics makes some of the best running shoes on the market.
>>62665562You don't get it, the rich do not care that regular white middle class dudes wear the same brand as themThey start caring when Tanisha from the ghetto wears it
>>62665374Are stocks just shit coins now?
please don't sell, nikemarines! please
>>62665447I like these ones..>>62665494Being too expensive, literally need a loan to buy a shoe for the average low end wageslave.
>>62665374>>62665389Itt midwitsHow much money did Pepsi lose on 7 dollar bags of Doritos Answer billions Corporate greed can only go so far
>>62665588And I still have to wear a belt. I never weighed more than 150lb. I don’t know wtf is wrong with me. I’m physically active so at least I don’t look like Vitalik.
>>62665638didn't pepsi have to lower prices after rfk cancelled ppl using gibs to buy junk food?
>>62665642A a court ruled scratchy voice can't restrict itB they tried to lower prices to combat nobody buying 7 dollar bags of chips and people still didn't buy it
>>62665644People did buy the chips again but it was too late to stop the companies who immediately filled in the cheap chip market.50 billion in profit destroyed and the frito lay cucks do nothing since pepsico bought them for exactly this reason.Buy and kill your competition just to send a message.
>>62665657I don't think soulless corporations want to lose billions they'd rather kill billions than lose billions
>>62665657u can tell pepsi is incompetent when they bought what was monster's only major competitor at the time, rockstar, and then ran it into the ground and sold it off for what i can assume must have been a massive loss but i shan't be combing their financial statements to find out. maybe dr. pepper will do better with ghost energy but that shit is nasty too sweet and attracted ants literally out of my woodwork until i threw it all away. gross.
>>62665663>PepsiCo took a massive $1.78 billion pre-tax impairment charge on the Rockstar brand during the second quarter of 2025. In total, the accounting write-down tied primarily to Rockstar reached $1.993 billion for the full year.oof
>>62665374no more usaid money
>>62665374NIKE is OUT S&P 100.What's getting IN?
>>62665472>You don't need to wash your jeansuh oh stinky!
when i think nike i think arabs and black people
>>62665681hypebeast type consumers put their jeans in the freezer instead of washing them. they claim it kills the bacteria that makes smells.
>>62665381fpbp
>>62665688i just scrolled hypebeast for the first time in a decade to see if it's even still there, any brand that shows up on that site is instant ick
>>6266555132x34 is my pant size, and it infuriates me that most clothing stores barely carry that size. It's not my fault I'm tall and not a fat fuck.
My younger brother is the only one in my family who still buys Nike. Shoes, shirts and jeans. All overpriced trash I can get replicated from Temu or DHgate for less. I bought replica AF1’s without the swoosh. Exact copy at a price point of $25 with free shipping. Zoomers are the last generation to want branded items. China and Vietnam have reached diminishing returns on authentic clothing. Unbranded clothing at wal mart is almost as good as name branded clothing.
>>62665374go woke, go broke
>>62665626Is that for sex or ...
OWNTHEFLOOR
>>62665501Don't forget Red Lobster.
>>62665950how are those cruise companies doing? don't they also cater to the same croud now?
>>62665506It's not just extremely rich people, but grown ups in general.Maybe their jacket will have a small logo embroidered on it, but after like age 20, nobody is wearing heavily branded stuff except rubes and ghetto people.
>>62665953Same deal.But also, cruises were more relevant for boomers because travel was scary before the internet. Plus they all lived in suburbia, so resort type environments had more appeal. Millennials moved into trendy urban neighborhoods that are effectively the same thing, but in their day to day. When I lived in a cool area, resort type vacations had zero appeal because I'd just walk to the kind of bar, restaurant, club, or park I wanted to go to whenever I wanted and I was surrounded by tons of people my age anyway.
>>62665908kek
what about Lululemon?
>>62665908i want to buy... uhh... whatever this is advertising now
>>62666083they tried selling yoga pants to men and it seemed to have failed since they were all deep discounted on mr porter's sale
>>62665679>NIKE is OUT S&P 100.>What's getting IN?DELL PANW ANET SNDK are going in, NKE HON SPG CL are going out.
>>62666122>SNDKthe japanese tv station?
>>62666146yes
>>62665494Nike forgot they aren’t a monopoly like the big 4 tech companies and can’t just go full DEI while charging $50 for a shitty t shirt that costs them $1 each to ship from the other side of the world.
>>62665374>Believe in something. even if it means sacrificing your entire market shareLol. Fucking lmao even.
>>62665908Holy fucking jej, they included the share price plummeting in the fucking ad.My sides have given up the ghost.
>>62666388no that was me. the original has the nike tick
>>62665374one good rap music video will change all of this. hold the line nikemarines.
>>62666395And her big sweaty moose knuckle right in our face.. this ad is aggressively anti-human.
>>62665374How about Under Armour?It was $20 in 2021 and down to $5 by the end of the 2021.I go to Kohl's and see a rack's worth of clearance men's Nike shirts, they're still $15 or more.
>>62665447Slavs are not white, slavnigger.
>>62665559You have long legs for your height or I have short legs for that height. We should try to figure this out and negotiate how it all works>t. 6’0 with 32x32 pants
>>62665374still worth 60B. thats quite high considering their products are trash>>62665389I guess I'm an outlier but I shop for quality & theirs blows.
>>62665501gucci and lv are donecoach always was a joke
>>62665437No dipshit it's because their shoes were genuinely good for the thing they were advertised for. I bought my first pair of air jordans in 2009 and they were probably the bast pair of sneakers I ever owned. I used them for biking and hiking in all kinds of weather/terrain and the never fell apart. I bought a pair 2 years ago for work and they literally started cracking and falling apart within 4 months of just walking around a lot. I used to buy their running gear and even shoes sometimes but never again. It was like getting food poisoning from a restaurant.
I buy almost all of my clothes from Walmart and some of them are still kind of pricey. The quality seems to have gone up though. No reason to splurge.
>>62665374>Holy fuck. What happened?Pandered to much to the Sneakerheads.I don't mean that as a euphemism for blacks; I mean they seem to have completely ignored the running market (which is dumb because we pay a premium for our shoes, and burn through them quickly), and the causal market that just wants a comfortable, affordable walking shoe (seems Sketchers and New Balance dominate here), to sell flashy "limited edition" shoes at a premium to collectors.
It can't crash any more, right? It's not much, but I have two shares but I'm down 22%. It should be easy to average down.
>>62665478>>DECK(HOKA, USA)=+23.8%i thought this was a japanese brandTIL
>>62665626that looks dangerously bad for your ballsi imagine it's plastic (polyester) too so you get both mechanical and chemical damage
>>62666568I wrote >>62665478 and I listed the representative brand of each corpo and the nationality of each corpoHOKA is a French brand while Deckers, who owns HOKA is an American corpo Likewise, Gucci is an Italian brand but Kering, who owns Gucci is a French corpo
>>62665478American brands who went DEI/ESG and catered to niggers lost their value. Let niggers and trannies buy their shit... if they have money, or if they are alive.Appy times.
>>62666926america catered to miggers and white trash and lost its value*fixed
>>62665374every time i go into a nike shop it's full of brown people.Poor people who might buy one expensive item to show off a yearIssue is compounded by too many brown people in the sports that nike tries to associate withThey're betting on blacks and browns so their target market will be reflected in their market cap.
>>62666977lmao nigger WOT
>>62665695I've never understood branded clothed. Why do people want to advertise for free? I go out of my way to buy unbranded clothing, or at least ones that don't show the logo anywhere but the tag. Like I used to always see shirts with the under armor logo or the big Nike swoosh, and I never understood it. If it was free or cheaper than the plain one, absolutely, but why would I pay MORE to advertise your company?
>>62665501My uncle smokes those cheap, dodgy russian cigarettes. They come in a louis vitton packaging... like the actual packet is black with LV pattern and logo
>>62665374One thing that's happening is that Nike is getting eviscerated in the Chinese market by domestic alternatives
>>62665577Slendermen in da house
>>62665374>[INSERT BRAND] is too big to fail!People picked it up from a movie and trying to stick it everywhere having no idea what it actually means.
>>62665374They have probably bet on the wrong demographic as customers.
I forgot to grab my Nike slides ($20) yesterday as a result of drying off and putting on my tennies after kayaking. Wife tried to guilt me into thinking I lost $1M dollars. Whoever finds those slides can have them, they're gross and grubby to me. I've been in camp showers with them
>>62665551>>62665577That hurts, anon. Iktf>t. 32x36 (sometimes 38 depending on brand)
heads up the converse X nike deal will make this shit shoot back to 50+ and basically you’re fucking stupid if you don’t buy if it hits 35
>>62670673>you're fucking stupid if you don't buy my bagsHyperboleposting used to be entertainingRephrase it in a less '>I'm totally a scammer from justshitupmybedistanway next time
>>62665381unironically fpbp, and i'm black myself. As soon as Nike's marketing stopped signalling:> #1 apex premium sporting brand, for atheletes, youth, and even businessmento...> brand whored out with hype collaborations, and appealing to lowest common denomenator (roadmen, chavs, gangsters etc)...I knew it's days were numbered. Think about it, in the 90s, Nike TNs and Shox were worn by sooo many different people, i used to see so many businessmen and rich people rock Nikes. I now personally feel embarrassed wearing Nike, due to it being associated with literal criminal youth. The largest of yikes.
>>62666388bro
>>62665478>all the nigger brands are in the shitterJordan was right about the about white customers
>>62672092Street wear ie trashy fashion has basically ruined mens outfits for everyone. Wearing boots, jeans and a flannel button down would be considered dressed up now.
>>62665374>What happened?>>62665908Hmm total mystery
>>62665381
>>62666089White replacement, low trust societies, low IQ people, fat acceptance, ghetto culture, total and complete cultural destruction via vulgarisation, niggers as role models, welfare, virtue signalling with plastic rubbish, neo-feudalism, poverty and dependent populations. You want to buy all that.Ofc this was launched by execs with a simpler objective: reap ESG finance and funds and social signal to niggers and white trash. But those who set these ESG objectives, and not others; the gatekeepers in the elites... they do want all that, deliberately, and this is what ESGs and free money were designed to achieve.
>>62665389spbp. They should have known that trying to pivot into being the brokie brand for gangbangers wasn't going to work out, but no one listened.They should have went all-in on sports and athletes instead of illiterate rappers and mass shooters.
>>62665501The answer is womenIt's always womenThe eternal woman will destroy every industry and crash every brand because she cannot perceive the possibility that welcoming everyone ruins things faster than selectively gatekeeping.This is why countries are failing, too.
>>62665960>Ghetto peopleNo no, they all do this. It's routine in society now to go outside and see a 40 year old dressed like he's 8 with Spongebob shirts and matching shrek crocs. not even a nig problem specifically, either. It's a sign of deterioration under unchecked promises of capital. They made their decision to appeal to the lowest common denominator, and now they got it. Nobody wants to look like they're trying too hard in the irony-poisoned society.
>>62672704>Wearing boots, jeans and a flannel button down would be considered dressed up now.I don't think so, Tim.
>>62665374USAID got cut
>>62672893The USAID is "MAGA", "Fascism", and the other astroturfed nonsense. A Billionaire funded psyop to keep you in the holding position while they sell you out and feed you narratives as compensation aka a useful idiot
>>62665908that ad was run in 2021 IIRC, so it aligns pretty well
Reminder Nike supported George Floyd and told white people if they were uncomfortable with blacks and leftists burning down cities and rioting that they just had to deal with it because this is how poc protests.
>>62665374stocks are the original shit coins.
