Nike dying outWhat cause this??
>>542407625$70 for a pair of running shorts made of recycled polyester fibers
>>542407625It was due to three things1. their previous CEO destroyed their matrix organization that allowed them to focus on specific sports in specific regions.2. they burned relations with retailers by building their own retail network.3. their products became stale and expensive.
>Oh no the line is not going up
$100+ for ugly plastic and foam made in China is ridiculous
>>542407625Maybe stop making shitty plastic clothes from recycled materials. The same applies to Adidas, i'm still using my almost 10yo sneakers because I can't find a decent pair made from leather.
>>542407625Because of Nike marketing, the brand is mainly associated to certain demographics now.
>>542407631https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_biasthe opinion of chuds do not matter.
>>542407626>>542407630why would it really matter if the polyester was recycled or not
>>542407625adidas moggs
. Those investments need to go to AI/tech stocks
>>542407635They are having pajeet "engineers" "anonymously" making bizarre and outlandish claims about AI possibilities to prop up their market price. The shit is gonna explode sooner or later
The products became ugly. They should fire the designers and the people greenlighting all the ugly designs ..
>>542407637Lol found the misoginist racist bigot
>>542407635Nike, Adidas, Puma, and other clothing companies all invest heavily into material science research. It's infinitely more important than B2B sales software.
>>542407635>>542407637what's with the periods? Is this some new forced lingo from some shithole general?
>>542407638Yeah
>>542407640I'm just phoneposting while taking a shit. That wasn't on purpose
>>542407642How did the poopenfarten inspection go?
>>542407643Doktor said I have a inflamed Shartenkanal
>>542407632but i did not do a bias search, just a normal google search
>>542407625probably price and wrong marketing to wrong demographic
>>542407625Stock is twice as high as when it was in 2006 during the most culturally significant football world cup when everyone gave a shit about brand name sport shoes2010-2020 was a fucking nothing some shitty "just do it" ad once in a while but somehow ballooned stock price stock investing is a scam fuck stock market
>>542407625Nike caters to streetwear nigs. ASICS and new balance are better.
>>542407625death of collector markets for meaningless fake supply demand on special sneakers
>>542407647>2010-2020 was a fucking nothing some shitty "just do it" ad once in a while but somehow ballooned stock priceIt was the retarded sneaker resellers stuff + people getting money to burn with covid gibbs
>>542407627But they've been building their own retail stores for ages. This isn't something new
>>542407651you're not wrong, but during covid they were very aggressive and started selling products only at their stores while pulling things off the shelf at big retailers.
>>542407652Usually they sell most of their high end on their own stores, but last time I checked in this shithole, there are still Nike outside of their retail stores like department stores and other sportswear apparel. They also have Nike apps where you can purchase shoes at a sale, but that's an entirely different story.
>>542407653>there are still Nike outside of their retail stores like department stores and other sportswear apparel.yeah, once they let go of the old guy they went back and begged their old partners to take them back. One of the reasons why all of these new shoe companies came about in the most recent years is because big department stores made more space for start-ups since Nike pissed them all off.https://thesmudgereport.com/all-the-retailers-that-nike-left-and-then-went-back/https://philippdubach.com/posts/nikes-crisis-and-the-economics-of-brand-decay/
>>542407625it’s so crazy to me that nike isn’t cool anymore, makes me feel like a boomer
>>5424076274. They stop making iconic ads like The Mission, The Cage, or Brazil v Portugal
>>542407654>Running brands like On and Hoka, which had been developing new sole technology and cushioning systems, suddenly had access to prime retail real estate. On’s CloudTec and Hoka’s maximalist cushioning gained visibility precisely when Nike was reducing its retail presence. Nike improved its direct-to-consumer margins but reduced its total addressable market. The company assumed consumers would follow it online, but many didn’t. Kek
>>542407655To be fair, stock doesn’t really reflect its irl sales. Nikes still sells more products than Adidas and Puma for example combined. Despite them mostly pumping out dogwater new stuff, their core stuff like Air Max, Shox etc still sell a lot.
>>542407656That's everyone everywhere tho. When was the last time you saw an ad that wasnt safe and soulless? Something changed during 2008 economic crisis to the point that we will never have another pepsi shaolin monk ad
Nike shoes break down easily. I bought a pair once and I had to throw them out 1 year later because they broke
>>542407625It’s the McDonalds effect.>market your products to poors>make them expensive for no reason>suddenly nobody buys your shit
>>542407661Same shit happened to playstation. It was always the console for poorfags and now they rebranded, think of themselves as a luxury product and doubled the prices in a few years. Now people aren't really buying them anymore
Too expensiveI can buy the same thing off AliExpress with the same polyester for a quarter of the price
>>542407625
>>542407664If you pay 200+ euro for a pair of shoes made in Afganistan (not anymore) or Vietnam by abused kids you are a retard and a criminal
>>542407665I would pay a premium for literally walking on thirdies' suffering and exploitation but they should actually be comfortable and long lasting
>>542407664Facebook is really good at tracking things, the person who took this screenshot got this ad because they're fat. Your culture war brain has fried all senses of reality from you.
>>542407665Would you rather they farmed poppies or sold themselves instead? I mean I like cunny as much as the next bloke but I want my future cunnywife to be pure, not an ex-prossie.
>>542407664What is even that. Tight clothes don't look good on fat people
VGH THE VVEST HAS FALLEN
>>542407625Shoe prices are too high for our basketball citizens so they can't buy them anymore. Nike got too greedy.
>>542407666The Vietnamese kids who did my adidas sneakers did a really good job, 5 years and no major damage, but the soles have gotten so thin I can feel rocks when walking on gravel
>>542407625>removed from SP500 lolNike is a brand for ghetto hoodlum niggers and people with have no sense of fashion who want to flex their poor taste in clothes.Their marketing is making them take a toll.
>>542407665niggers will look at at this crap and buy it or kill themselves just to get one of those in their feet just because its expensive.Only niggers buy this crap so now Nike is seen poor sales
>>542407625>No more USAID money
>>542407625no more usaid. nogs in africa and europe can't afford $200 sneakers anymore.
>>542407990>>542408104But the drop happened before 2024?
>>542407626$200 for a pair of $30 shoes because a celebrity took a picture
>>542407627Nah, it's just that nigger culture was a psyop'ed fad and now its over. We won't be celebrating nignogs playing with balls like children anymore, we won't be listening to their rap game bullshit on the airwaves anymore, hollywood's attempts at glorifying niggers is cartoonish and no one takes it seriously anymore. Niggers are over, therefore nike is over
>>542407625Rappers are killing each other left and right. Lil pookie dreadz got shot just last night
You can tell how someone is doing financially by looking at their shoes.Shoes are a luxury. We're fucking broke because of this idiot Administration only fueling the rich and looting the rest of us.
Macklemore finally killed the sneaker industry
>>542407625I don't even consider buying Nike anymore. I associate it only with niggers, trannies and white trash.
>>542407632They were already half nigged before the woke. Like McDonalds they turned themselves into a black low class brand.
>>542407625USAID money dried up and the goyim remember.
>>542407647In America the World cup is a 2-3 week event were people pretend to care about soccer and does not intercept with the idea of nike shoes.
Also covid money dried up. people bought a ton of stuff during covid when stimmies hit.
all the baddies are wearing alo and lululemon now
>>542407625tariffs, the 2020 money printer go brrrrrr inflation finally catching up and niggers needing to use their money to feed themselves. yet low iq miggers will put it on usaid getting axed. TRUMP! We love DOGE!
>>542407625the entire economy is in the shitterliterally the only thing america has going is the flock ai data centers
>>542407625covid monetary spike followed by dementia donny slow killing the economy. 80% of people aren't going to be buying fancy brand shoes when they are living paycheck to paycheck
>>5424076252026 people are buying shoes on amazon and shein.
>>542407625Going back to its mean. You'll see that exact chart for a lot of other shit
Caring about sneakers, being a 'sneaker-head' is not my culture, and I don't want to look like a poser. For me I like crocs and new-balances.
>>542407625Nike means victory, saar
>>542407625Hahahaha nigger shoe company line go down
>>542407625I saw somewhere that all the big sports brands are suffering due to Amazon's association with the Chinese companies they allow to drown the market with their knockoffs. Even I myself have begun buying the cheaper no-name brands from Amazon because I understand now these are all made by the same people/machines at the same factories. The label is the only difference.
>>542407625Only niggers using Nikes and they won't buying them.
>>542407625>Ni(gger)ke
>>542409001>buying fancy brand shoes>NikeYou colonials really have no culture...
>>542409066why does every new balance shoe looks like it was designed in the 80s?
Go woke, go broke. Nigger company.
All I can say is avoid any brand when it's made in Indonesia. Go for Vietnam - very high quality.
Market cap is still 50bn lol twice of adidas and dwarfing all other sportswear brands, Nike isn’t going anywhere There was a peak in streetwear fashion that blew them out of proportion but they’re still going to be making a lot of money each year
>>542409176everyone is going broke not just woke
>>542409225>All I can say is avoid any brand when it's made in Indonesia.Buy Dr. Martens, the premium pairs are still made in England.
>>542408871truly disgusting, never post this image again
>>542407625(Un)fortunately niggers become smarter
>>542407625I've been saying their shoes are low quality for like 20 fucking years, maybe people are finally realizing their $300 sweat shop slop is barely better than Walmart brand shit
>>542407625The quality in nike/adidas/active wear in general has gone way down over the past 10-15 years. It used to be all I wear, now I don't wear it at all.
>>542407625Trump economy.
Adidas runners broke the marathon record that Nike has been going on about for ages.
I talked to a store rep about air maxes since they were my favorite walker/trainer shoes. I asked why they make the sole with such hard cheap material and he said they're classified as fashion shoes now.Sports apparel store making clothes that aren't for sports is my guess why they fell off
>>542409506people just can't afford anything but the absolute most basic stuff in this economythey voted for this
>>542409131Those in glass houses and all...
>>542407625Bro let's get real its extremely overpriced sweat shop garbage. I mean style is cool an all but its made for pennies in sweat shops and sold to stupid white kids are retarded markups like every other shoe. This is just market correction
>>542409569lol, now zoom out
>>542407625>What cause this??I have no idea
>>542407625Adidas beat the vaporflys in marathon super shoes. For general consumers, stuff like Hoka and On offers more options, and Asics offers some very high value and innovative running shoes like the Novablasts. In terms of style, chunky retro trainers like the NB and throwback Gel Kayanos are in style. Adidas and Onitsuka also offer better low top leather sneaker.Basically, style trends no longer favor them, and they aren't at the top of innovation for sports at this time.
>>542409820All of my gym shoes have been Asics for the past decade. You actually get what you pay for with them.
>>542407625USAID cuts, less rap music, less people wanting Jordans
>>542409984Yeah, my Novablast 1s have been some of the longest lasting running shoes I've ever owned. But Nike toeboxes have never felt right for me.
>>542410077I'm pretty sure you can't buy sneakers with food stampsit's the entire economy going to the shitter
>>542410077There's also a high degree of limited edition fomo fatigue. As well as the decline in the NBA more generally.
>>542410134Look at the peak and then type in Colin krappernigger. They went all in on this justice shit and even the niggers got tired of it. Whoops.
>>542410320Football is pretty irrelevant for selling fashion sneakers compared to basketball.
>>542410320>peak is around 2020yep it's the economy
>>542407625Niggers stealing air forces instead of buying them.
>>542407625>boomers and niggersWithout COVID stimulus money the typical audience is gone for this sort of thing leaving only boomers to buy and make the brand look uncool. Young people don't have any money so when they do get it and see the only people wearing it are boomers...
>>542410685That didn't stop New Balance from becoming cool again.
>>542410933new balance isn't coolthere are no AAA athletes wearing new balance
>>542410984Okay nigger. NB's have been trendy for the last few years.
>>542411202name the highest paid athlete who wears new balance
>>542411261Shohei Ohtani
>>542407634>adidas moggs
>>542407625Now there are too many brands that have the same quality as nike and people dont particularily care about wearing nike or adidas or new balance or whatever.
>>542411413actually never heard of it LOLmessi? Ronaldo? lebron?
Underarmour
>>542407625I remember a bit before COVID if you managed to buy a pair of their limited edition shoes and sell it to a chink or nigger, you could make 200€ net profit per pair
Nike shoes have always been cheaply made overpriced crap. Their only hook was marketing and while that worked for a long time on low IQ niggers and nigger-adjacent races, those people have also getting buttfucked the hardest by inflation since the pandemic and can't afford new Nikes. Pretty simple to understand if you're not a retard.
>>542411498And retro low top leather sneakers are in, and I think Sambas and Tigers are nicer than anything Nike has.
>>542411622>cheap made >every top athlete wears them
>>542410984>>542411261>shoes aren't cool unless my favorite, overpaid sportsball niggers wear them!!!!You are an NPC faggot lol
>>542411728Your argument is "celebrity athletes endorse them!" That is marketing. You know these companies sponsor professional sports teams and the players have no choice over what brand of shoes they wear during games, right?You are a nigger-brained retard.
>>542411894>literal top athlete in the world wears shoes>that doesn't mean they are good
My memory of NIKEs is that they're cheap shit that will break down and literally melt within a year. Also I don't want some nigger brand or to be associated with that shit.HOKAs are the fucking shit. I spent a lot of time reading about shoe technology when I first started making money. Started buying HOKAs and will literally never wear another shoe brand again. I have never worn such sophisticated shoes before in my life. They're like walking on clouds. Also I've been wearing the same Mach 6s for about a year and they're holding up well. I like the HOKA Mach 6, I bought five extra pairs I have stashed in my house. For comparison, I once wore some Adidas maximalist shoes for a trip and my body and feet were worn the fuck out in those pieces of shit. Will literally never wear anything except HOKA until an even better design comes along.NIKE is overrated gay nigger shit.
>>542408157Don't bother trying to reason with the Musk jeets
The end of an era
>>542407625Tariffs.
>>542407625>What cause this??THE SHOES ARE TO DAMN HIGH!
>>542412116but trump said tariffs aren't paid by the consumer?
>>542407633Plastics straight from petrochemistry are higher quality than recycled plastics. For the use case of polymer shorts it won't make a difference.
>>542412007If the shoes were actually good the athletes wouldn't needed it be paid to wear them
>>542412007Top niggers wear what they are paid to wear. You are fucking retarded. And your argument is the inverse of what I actually said. You are a fucking ape
>>542411728Not really. Adidas made a lighter superstore which dethroned the Vaporfly. Adidas has been more popular in soccer for decades. Basically, outside basketball and handegg, they've always had stiff competition.
>>542412247if other brands made good shoes they wouldn't need sponsorships to sell them>>542412288yeah I'm sure they are top athletes because their shoes suck
>>542407625it's a sports shoe brand, they advertise and sell to people that play sports, that demographic is 15-35 year olds.zoomers are immune to marketing and don't play sports or go outside, they grew up on the internet.
The Nike free or Nike Air or Nike Nothing, i forget what it's called, but the Nike Empty is one of the best shoes I've ever owned, if it wasnt 200 dolars
>>542407626They’ve been doing this for decades. Why did it suddenly matter?
>>542412389the economy
>>542412356So that applies to every brand but Nike? Despite Nike sales being through the floor?
>>542412356>yeah I'm sure they are top athletes because their shoes suckThe argument was never about quality until your nigger brain lost track of the original argument. Other anons were saying that New Balance has cool shoes, and your whole argument is that they weren't cool because no athlete wears them. You are dumb, nigger brained goycattle
>>542412481>sales through the floorthey are still the biggest shoe brand worldwidetrumptards are delusional>>542412532new balance makes horrible bandaid color boomer shoes and nobody wears them for style and their logo sucks ass
>>542407626This. Broke niggers caused this. The left doesn't value consumers, they want everyone poor+ desperate enough to be willing to swallow lies blindly.
>>542407625The biggest reason?>being run by women
>>542412599New Balance has the biggest athlete in the world right now with Otani.
Man I wish it wasn't 200 dollars
>>542412599Too late. You've already admitted that you outsource your own personal taste to that of whatever your favorite nigger athletes are wearing. lol good little goycattle NPC buying whatever overpriced shoes his favorite sportsball nigger wears
>>542412532And then his next shift of the goalposts was that Ohtani (a NB guy) is a literally who. Lmao.
>>542412646america isn't the world retardcristiano ronaldo, messi and lebron are paid more
>>542407627>became stale and expensivePic is a Nike Air Force 1. These could have been made in 1985, 2005, or 2025. They’ve been stale for a very, very long time. The Nelly song was released in 2002. They cost $80 then, roughly $150 today when adjusting for inflation. The price has barely moved.
>>542407625Nike exiting stores was a huge driver of the collapse. Another is the fewfound popularity of selling Magic and Pokemon cards. Scalping Magic sets and rare Pokemon cards has a much higher ROI and for Nike's "core" demographic the security around Card shops is normally far lighter than malls with shoe stores. Its way easier to pocket a few boosters than a pair of size 12 Jordan's.t Mall clothing shop manager
>>542412735>america isn't the worldNikes sales are even worse abroad
>>542412735Messi is an Adidas guy.
>>542407630adidas still makes pretty quality stuff, i have track pants 10+ years old with practically zero wear and that was when i was doing physical work in a warehouse everyday
>>542412599All of you fags are wonderful little consumers. Tell us more about color schemes and how to make a wonderful logo.
>>542408204i ve still a bunch of dunks that i bought for less than $30, 1-2 decades ago, before this weird sneaker consumer fetish that peaked with covid.
>>542412800they are the biggest shoe brand in the world tho
>>542412889nike makes good shoes otherwise the top athletes wouldn't wear themend of the story
>>542407673>removed from SP500 lolBlackRock was removed too yet no one is talking about that
>>542413106there are probably 100+ ai companies in the index that are going bust in a year the economy is fake and gay
>>542407640>. he doesn't know
Great NOW how will I satisfy my foot fetish
>>542412931That is why you buy nike's? because sports ball players use them? Are you a sports ball player?
>>542413386because the BEST athletes wear them RETARD
>>542413386Tbf, that's why I usually look for Mizuno first for athletic stuff. Their golf and judo stuff is high quality, so it's easy to implicitly trust they won't sell you a lemon.
>>542407625USAID money drying up
>>542407625any brand that is built on the social prestige of niggers is bound to have a massive correction
>>542413609can you tell me exactly what does one thing have to do with the other
>>542411438
>>542413545Sounds great! Does that company promote every leftist ideology known to man and if so are there other options in footwear for your intended purpose? The point is Nike became political and there are other shoe brands just as good if not better you could buy. Even if you play the sports balls.
>>542413533Are you an athlete that gets paid to wear them?
>>542413970I do sports yesso I'll wear the shoes that other athletes wear yes
>>542407625Competition from other brands in the premium fitness apparel space. Everything from On Clouds, Hokas for shoes to Gym Shark and Vuori for clothing.
>>542407664>>542407669That's not even her real face.That's the face of a woman that is 100lbs lighter.And she looks disgusting, like roped ham. Imagine a 200lbs disgusting lardass wrapped in nike polyester cancer clothes doing anything physical. The stench alone would be murderous.
>fat people doing sports is what killed le brandisn't that the entire point of training?
>>542407625wore these yesterday
>>542407625https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nike_(mythology)>Nike>Goddess of victory>loses at the stock market
>>542407625They over priced their shit. Its the straw that broke the camels back when their target audience goes to buy their Nikes, looks at the price and quality and said fuck this. Cheap shoes for an outlandish price. They over estimated their powers of NIKE goys continuing to goy. AI surveillance pricing cooked their goose. Its basic crackinomics.
>>542407626that fall appart
>>542407625Maybe people realized it's the exact same overpriced bangladesh plastic junk what they could order even from a Temu?It was long time ago when Nike had quality control, cotton and leather componenst in innovative package.Since that and nowadays just simple flamable trash.
>>542407625probably usaid related
>>542407625fat niggers dont have money to spend
>>542407664Being forced to look at fat people in online stores bothers me way more than minority models
>>542407625There are better shoe brands out there. The market has changed.
>>542414808can you explain the relation between the two
>>542407625It was subsidized by gibs
>>542407625Everything has gotten uglier and more expensive, sneakers included. This is what happens when the world adopts the Jewish perspective that money is God and beauty is worthless.
>>542415358nothing is more ugly than new balance shoes tho
>>542409241Only intelligent post in this thread. Buy the dip. Best logo in the world. They fucked up getting rid of Weiden Kennedy as their ad firm. Most history than any other shoe brand. Will bounce back.
There hasnt been an american MVP in forever to make new shoes for.Basically it's all lebron and Kevin Durants fault.
>>542413928You're delusional if you think chud kvetching about woke played any significant role in their recent poor performance
>>542414026I suppose Nike is the only reasonable option for you doing sports seeing as that is what all of your idols wear. I would never think for myself either, why go through the struggle right. It is much easier just copying what other people do and not worrying about anything else.
>>542415487>>542415601>it has nothing to do with the economy being in the shitter and people going only-essential mode
>>542407625Trump and his tariff shenanigans happened Also they sold out to niggers like 50 years ago
>>542415601I honestly don't care why they are performing bad, I was simply stating that they suck and one should avoid purchasing their products unless they align with their political ideology. Because unfortunatley for them they decided to promote one.
>>542415817which brand actually grew by pandering to conservatives tho?
>>542414357most uncomfortable shoe on the planet award
>>542416381and falling apart blazing fast way.
I never bought Nike shoes because my feet are wide. Not fat, just naturally wide. New Balance was my go to forever but they cost like $90 for cross trainers these days, so I found some ridiculously named brand off Amazon for $40 which seems to be holding up about as well
>>542412642This, and no other explanation is necessary
>>542416095My point is that a company should not be one way or the other. If they pick a side, then they deter the side not picked to refrain from purchasing their products. They may be arrogant and think it won't matter. They may get help from money funneled through ngo's. I don't know anything other than it is a bad idea for a company like Nike to take a political postion.
>>542417281they are still the biggest shoe company in the world by a wide margin tho
another adidas wini literaly have all adidas, adidas shoes, adidas pants, adidas hoodie, adidas cap and that small bag for keys and phone+socks and underwear all adidas i feel very powerfull and ready when i wear adidas
