I work for a large consumer goods manufacturing organization and have to say that the breakdown on retail vs wholesale pricing/dynamics was spot on. Felt like I was at work in those first couple minutes of the video. Lol
Kyrie’s line was great. Rather than breakup the team that made the line, they should be the ones to take charge of Ja’s line as both him and Kyrie are shifty guards. They may require most of the same type of tech with the exception of that for cushioning as Ja seems to stay up in there more than Kyrie does.
That would be huge for Reebok. I love Reebok shoes and have hooped in the Pump Omni Lite during on court trainings a few times in recent years. I’d never wear them in a game but it is possible because they are hoop shoes and they still perform just not as well as the shoes I wear regularly (Curry 10). I didn’t mind the Retro Omni Lite shoe as it had good fit, support and traction.
I would love it if Reebok could one day get back somewhat to their former glory. Ppl forget they had Shaq AND Allen Iverson, and also the pumps are iconic.
I had the Kobe 8’s when they released and ima be honest I don’t think they have enough cushion for me, my feet hurt like hell after wearing em for more than 2 hours. Maybe I should have went up size because they hurt my toes too
The Kobe 8 protro's despite all the wear test and research done to improve the tech in the shoe probably won't even touch the court and non-hoopers and resellers will just hoard them all now the Kyrie line from nike sadly will have the same fate... I feel like nike is slowly becoming a overhyped/priced luxury shoe company and not a sports wear brand..
My Flytraps are going to the Nike store to get recycled…no way I could wear those now….just glad it’s a cheaper shoe and I didn’t spend a ton on them. I normally couldn’t give a single sh*t whose shoe I’m wearing, but when someone goes that far out of field, it’s like I’m the one making a statement if I choose to wear them. No thank you.
You are genuinely sped, kyrie never in the first place did anything wrong, while getting harassed in a post game interview he proved that all he did was try to educate people that African Americans were the first jewish people, is there anything wrong with that be honest, why do people like you always never research but listen to one comment about the situation 🤦🏽
It's all depends on Lining's attatude..Kyrie knows this brand, and he looking forward to build a personal product empire like Way of Wade~But the distance is the biggest problem between Lining and Kyrie..
That's not hate speech RUclips. You can band kyrie but, you can't say band Nike whom are obviously canceling kyrie like he don't have freedom of speech. BAND NIKE !!!!!
If Kyrie wanted to be apart of the design process, should've put that in his contract. Athletes usually are not involved in the design process because the players are not shoe designers.
The Kyrie Infinity in my opinion is BETTER THAN the Kyrie ✌️8✌️. I'm used to midcut shoes, so if I wanted a lowcut Kyrie, I would get a Kyrie LOW sneaker. 😑
Do you think hanging on to a pair of nearly new condition Kirie 6 with box could go way up in value in the future ? I was going to list these on eBay .. but in ten years hmm🤔
One thing I will say about LeBron sneakers regardless of the line, it’s always been Expensive has hell & it feels so HEAVY. I have one pair of Lebron’s and 3 pairs of Kyrie because regardless if it’s a high,mid,low top.. it isn’t has expensive and it feel so much lighter on your feet. Sad that he is leaving, but I understand from a business standpoint. If I’m NewBalance, I would entertain the idea of having Kyrie.
Don’t really think you can market AD, he’s always hurt. That’s the issue adidas had with D-Rose, yes he’s a GREAT TALENT. But was hurt 7 years out of the 11 year deal. That’s probably why his sneakers were selling for $80 in some outlets.
I never liked the fist few kyrie shoe cushion wise. I bought the 2 when I was in college and it such a brick. Had to wear them for a year to until I can collect money to buy a new one
I think reebok/convers could go with kyrie since he is still in his prime. So that reebok could make a comeback since puma is already lamelo and new balance has kawhi.
Nike appears to be in trouble..at least there basketball division.. because kobe is gone and there rollout of his shoes are terrible.. lebron is getting old...his shoes don't be selling like that....kyrie line is now gone....I wonder who buys these up to date things. Honestly I travel alot..and go to alot of gyms...I see more older shoes older kobes...kyrie 2 and 3..pg 1 and 2s..older kd..so like years 2012 to 2016,17...I don't really see many guys wearing up to date shoes. Maybe that's just me
I think nike took it way too far. They should've just fined him instead of ending the relationship. I will forever miss kyrie nike shoe line . #Bringbackkyrietonike
There're things more important then some basketball sneakers. I say good on Nike and Adidas for putting morality above profit, and doing the right thing by setting an example.
@@Coolhand69 of course I know who they are; amoral corporation. But if they are trying to do better by standing up against bigotry and hate, and not reward those who look to sow division amongst us (I don't give a shit if they are their "beliefs"; evil is evil), then I will give them the credit and support they deserve. If you want to belittle them, and instead support those assholes who got their just deserts because "you like their shoes", then you need to have you moral compass checked.
@@star42 the fact that you said morality above profit is so ironic for many reasons, one being there immoral business practices, two being they also did this for the fact that they don’t want to lose profit lol, it’s called pandering
He's not crazy,I'm sure he will take advantage of his popular line and have more signature shoes, just don't know who yet, too much money to leave on the table
Kyrie was a PILLAR of Nike it’s crazy to think his line is done and even crazier to think we gonna get a kyrie from another brand
New Balance is perfectly fit for Kyrie
@@JoshJosh574 li-ning would be also a better option
li-ning or anta would be great. i think it's best to sign with overseas brands like them, they make dope shoes.
Lol you know there's still a lot of players signed with Nike so it doesn't matter if there's no more Kyries and they signed Ja Morant now
@@s_wyd cool i still want kyries
I work for a large consumer goods manufacturing organization and have to say that the breakdown on retail vs wholesale pricing/dynamics was spot on. Felt like I was at work in those first couple minutes of the video. Lol
He won’t go with Adidas. Just ask Kanye why.

They may require most of the same type of tech with the exception of that for cushioning as Ja seems to stay up in there more than Kyrie does.
Kyrie would definitely help in the popularity of Reebok, Puma or NB if he signs with any of them.
That would be huge for Reebok. I love Reebok shoes and have hooped in the Pump Omni Lite during on court trainings a few times in recent years. I’d never wear them in a game but it is possible because they are hoop shoes and they still perform just not as well as the shoes I wear regularly (Curry 10).

@@Chip4576 Shaq bought Reebok so that's not going to happen
Under Armour
The only catch to the Kylie shoes were the lack of cushion. But besides that, the traction was great.
I agree my knees hurt af after playing in my kyrie low 2.
Ey I hope Kyrie goes to Li-Ning tbh, Li-Ning makes some monster hoop shoes
Expensive ones 😭
@@ykocho hey top tier tho
I want Ja’s shoes to be super light weight, kinda on the lower side in price, with insane bounce
Kyrie Shoe line was like one of the best shoes to ball in…. Kyrie infinity’s we’re like the best shoes to play in
Hoping he signs with Lining!!
i think a li ling/kyrie line would be good, cheap, better cushioning and incredible traction with the softer strobel board
There's alot of options for kyrie: anta, lining, nb, puma, under amour.
Ironic cause Kyrie Infinity is GOATed performance
i hope kyrie signs with li ning🔥
@Kyrie just wear Kobe’s for the rest of your career
That's why he should do his own shoe. Especially because he's popular, that's why he should do his own.
I had the Kobe 8’s when they released and ima be honest I don’t think they have enough cushion for me, my feet hurt like hell after wearing em for more than 2 hours. Maybe I should have went up size because they hurt my toes too
Nike is a hypocrite. They claim Kyrie stepped over the line but do they still sell on Amazon? Did nike pull their stuff from Amazon?
Kyrie on puma would go crazyyyyy
nike bought puma many years ago so thats not happening
@@dannybob damn Dan bob lol
Kyrie would immediately be the face of PUMA. That’s the move
Maybe the Lebron NXT is replacing the lows this year
They look higher than the 20s but there's not a lot of pictures so who knows
The Kobe 8 protro's despite all the wear test and research done to improve the tech in the shoe probably won't even touch the court and non-hoopers and resellers will just hoard them all now the Kyrie line from nike sadly will have the same fate... I feel like nike is slowly becoming a overhyped/priced luxury shoe company and not a sports wear brand..
Most likely new balance or under armour. None of the Germany companies will sign him
Imagine Kyrie signed with adidas and they used boost and yk he would have good traction and that stuff were it like caves in
My Flytraps are going to the Nike store to get recycled…no way I could wear those now….just glad it’s a cheaper shoe and I didn’t spend a ton on them.

You must only read the headlines
Clown
I feel like one of the China companies will get Kyrie. He’s pretty popular in China and they don’t care about Jews either
It's all depends on Lining's attatude..Kyrie knows this brand, and he looking forward to build a personal product empire like Way of Wade~But the distance is the biggest problem between Lining and Kyrie..
Where did those Kyrie 9 shoes go? They dump it in the ocean?
The dislike is for Kyrie Irving himself and Nike, great video tho
Dammit those were the best shoes
Maybe Kyrie should get with the company that Wade is with.
New Balance is perfectly fit for Kyrie❤️🏀
Li-Ning
Kyrie on li Ning would be amazing
That's not hate speech RUclips. You can band kyrie but, you can't say band Nike whom are obviously canceling kyrie like he don't have freedom of speech. BAND NIKE !!!!!
Ban, not band, bro 👍
It's called NXXT with two Xs cuz its the take down of the 20s...XX is 20 in roman numeral. And aren't the curry 10s $160?
I checked out the LI-NING which I never heard of looks dope. I might try them. I with Kyrie and Dave Chapelle when it comes to Nike.
At least he kept true to his beliefs.
If Kyrie wanted to be apart of the design process, should've put that in his contract. Athletes usually are not involved in the design process because the players are not shoe designers.
The Kyrie Infinity in my opinion is BETTER THAN the Kyrie ✌️8✌️. I'm used to midcut shoes, so if I wanted a lowcut Kyrie, I would get a Kyrie LOW sneaker. 😑
They need to make Kobe shoes more available to the masses. I feel like they aren’t capitalizing on his popularity and legacy.
Then the main buyers would shudder and refuse to buy them for that reason. Stupid, incoherent philosophy
Main buyers? The people who can’t buy the shoes???
Main buyers? The people who can’t buy the shoes???
Main buyers? The people who can’t buy the shoes???
I wonder if they’ll retro them & rename em his shoes were too good to just be like F em
One of my favorite kicks. 😂
Go Lining Kyrie
Calling it now he’s going to Under Armor.
Start his own or Li Ning
Reebok or Puma would be a great fit for Kyrie
Anta Kylie 1, Lining Kyrie 1, Adidas Kyrie 1, Puma Kyrie 1...or UA Kyrie 1...?
Do you think hanging on to a pair of nearly new condition Kirie 6 with box could go way up in value in the future ? I was going to list these on eBay .. but in ten years hmm🤔
Never really know. I was thinking the same thing
Thank you Nike!

If Puma is smart, they capitalize on their success with Lamelo and sign Kyrie. On the other hand, I’d agree, Kyrie signing with Li-Ning would be dope.
puma was purchased by nike long ago
Lining Kyrie, Anta Kyrie . No worries
Kyrie should sign with puma they do a lot of black history thibgs
I'm wondering why AD doesn't have a signature shoe, he's already 10 yrs in the NBA.
Don’t really think you can market AD, he’s always hurt.
That’s the issue adidas had with D-Rose, yes he’s a GREAT TALENT. But was hurt 7 years out of the 11 year deal. That’s probably why his sneakers were selling for $80 in some outlets.
Nike to this to far with Kyrie
Is this the first time for an athletic wear brand to sign father and son duo , as in Luka and his son
I never liked the fist few kyrie shoe cushion wise. I bought the 2 when I was in college and it such a brick. Had to wear them for a year to until I can collect money to buy a new one
I wont buy anymore Nike but I will buy shoes from whatever new shoe company that Kyrie signs with
its either kyrie is going to ANTA or And 1
Since Nike refuses to release Kobe shoes, Kyrie should start his own shoe company and produce shoes similar to the Kobes.
agreed
Nike bouta wear 2k shoes
Sign in lining or anta
hope he signs with li ning low key
Kyrie finna go to Reebok
I got kyrie6, kyrie fly trap 3 and kyrie low 5
I think reebok/convers could go with kyrie since he is still in his prime. So that reebok could make a comeback since puma is already lamelo and new balance has kawhi.
Nike owns converse so that’s not happening
Dude finna rock em sketchers on court snatching ankles
Kyrie should def do his own brand... it's not in question.
Actually it’ll be funny to see Kyrie goto Adidas… or he’ll goto Anta Sports
When are you gonna do harden step back 3 preformece review
Adidas wont sign Kyrie after they dropped Ye coz of antisemitism.
Bro where is don?anyone

What have you heard about PG not having a Signature shoe after the 6?

I would never buy his shoes. He's as mad as a bad of cats.
I wish Ja Morant would go to Adidas its too many Nike/Jordan signatures
I mean they just lost Kyrie so I wouldn’t worry too much lmao
I believe that kyrie just wanted out. He's not an easy person to figure out.
Lining kyrie anyone?
Go to UA!!
Crazy how allot are surprised by the move. No one was really buying the newer models like his older ones
That true but his 7 infinity sold out too so that should say a lot as well
Kyrie to adidas!!!
You know what I mean
Adidas come get Kyrie
Sign to Under Armour or puma and adidas
Nobody buying them tatums 😭
Me
Li Ning
You guys are crazy if you think Kyrie is going anywhere lmao he’s staying a sneaker FA til he retires
The man is all about freedom he isn’t about to be tied down to any contract 🤷♂️
He's not crazy,I'm sure he will take advantage of his popular line and have more signature shoes, just don't know who yet, too much money to leave on the table
@@deadeyedan1521 does anyone *want* to actually sign him firstly? that we don’t know lol
Kyrie has enough money to make his own shoe brand... He should go in partnership with BBB like Lavar said👂 ...
shoe give away cutieeee!!!

Ban not band. The next generation I have no hope for
