@@WizaGaming best one of all his pairs.

@@kyehiggins9126 much better than the OG in my opinion, especially at that price!

@@DeeWells they don't even have to work that hard. Noah has one of the fastest growing KZbin channels in athletics. He does a combination of training, hobby and fashion. If the brand took just a second to place an emphasis on his training gear and then implement a grassroots track strategy in the U.S. with a better ATL Games concept they could really do more quicker than a traditional rollout. Use what you have already, just do it better and consistently.

@@GREEVIP always trying to introduce new perspectives, I appreciate you taking a moment to check it out.

@@wade_county no one has had a signature spike. It's a niche category of course, but your response is a very American response and a part of the reason brands are failing to capitalize on the sport. Here is a small data set: Event Date KZbin Views 400 Hurdles June 25th 2022 400 hurdles national title 915,234 views Warriors Championship Highlight June 18th 2022 NBA FINALS GAME 6 - KZbin 694,228 views Royals vs Angels MLB June 23 2022 Royals vs. Angels Game Highlights 315,510 views U.S. Open Victory PGA June 19 2022 U.S. Open victory 10,576 views There is a small European high jump channel on KZbin named Gbutakin. There is a two year old video of a girls under 16 competition. It has 3.5 million views. You have to broaden your scope on sports to understand how streaming has changed how we watch sports. More importantly you have to consider how many people actually run vs hoop. Puma completely underutilized Bolt and now they are trying to figure out how to recapture some of the running market when they had all of the best runners in track for years and never did anything with them while Nike created PEs for Eliud Kipchoge and on the walls of all of their stores you will see ShaCarri. Noah has more international appeal but China is really the reason for signature hoops kicks. That country is the U.S. in the 90s so it makes sense, but running moves units and if brands decided to focus on sprinting just as much as 5ks and jogging sales would explode. On takedowns, there aren hardly any takedowns in the data. They are almost all flagship.

@@archbyccb On the streaming part you're not accounting TV numbers that people watch live. Plus how they also distribute those rights across the globe. If you include those numbers from here in the US plus BBC, CBC, ESPN International etc it will pale in comparison. You can't even sell ads because you watch a sprint or a relay in a 1 to 2 minute tiktok and be done with it. Yes, I agree that Puma dropped the ball with Usain Bolt but it's not the first time that's happened. As far making the argument of getting a shoe not a spike to Lyles how do you sell that? Makes more sense him wearing whatever Adizero or UltraBoost before throwing his spikes on. Even Patrick Mahomes who wears cleats for his day job can't move his sneakers and he plays for the NFL. As always love your videos, they're very insightful.

@@wade_county I think I may have conflated a few things so I need to pull back. At the start of the video I explain that no one needs a signature and that Noah should have a design team with PEs. I agree he could wear inline kicks, but my point is if Noah wants to argue he has data to support him. I mistakenly shifted to streaming and sports viewership because it's tied to sneaker sales in many ways but followers and viewership aren't really guarantees of success for the sale of a sneaker. In many ways shoe sales are now determined by availability more than connection to an athlete. Education is becoming more important than an endorsement. I have to be careful also making China into a whale. Nationalism is disrupting sneaker sales in China. India is becoming more important. There is a lot to discuss here and I truly appreciate your thoughts. They are always on point!

@@brettcooney5501 just did a discussion on Noah and his request to have a signature. Gonna edit today. My Olympic coverage is super expansive and won't make it on here for a while unless I figure out how to chop it up.

@@ballgameshoes8583 dang, I said Passion huh, smh.

@@coachmiller5226 ZoomX is incredible ain't it? The problem is that 200 dollar price tag. It's so expensive it could stop a lot of people from really buying it. I wish I would have said something about how the LeBron at 200 has become a clearance store staple and the flagship Jordans are doing the same. This one feels a bit different.

@@archbyccb yes, the best cushioning system in a hoop shoe. The 200 price tag will definitely turn a lot of folks off on these. You are correct that this one is different. Sizes on the white pair are already beginning to dry up online.

@@coachmiller5226 yep, size in this version are gone in big sizes also. It's doing well.

@@GREEVIP damn, I can see that!

@@GameRaider1 really underrated.

@@sourav8005 thanks for watching and nice job picking them up at half off!

@@EdwinMorados-bf5px StockX, GOAT any site that has older shoes.

@@drewali7 yep! Then again nothing is really hitting anymore.

@@just4you541 I've always thought it meant it luxury.

@@JC-kn5fk I bought these for someone else so I can't say.

@@Tomboshoes mix the business with art and sneakers and you get Tombos! Thanks for watching. I hope all is well.

The game was already over

@@mikeschultheis4205 I stopped doing these because the interest wasn't there. Thanks for checking it out!

@@kozykev you've been rocking with it forever and I truly appreciate you.

@@brianwj5 the Venture is dope also. Good call.

Boom. You basically summarized this in one statement.

@@GREEVIP yeah, it's a small startup running brand based here in the States.

Ten-fold issue on both the consumer and seller side of the equation. There are so many reasons it would require a two-semester class to get through the first two problems: too many options and an impatient consumer. We've been in a flick to scroll society for over ten years. It's limited engagement time with consumers. If an image/video isn't immediately attention grabbing, the finger flicks or scrolls to the next item. This diminished the amount of time a brand has to explain. Live television is dead so you don't get cool commercials with slo-mo imagery of a collapsing Air bubble, or Vince Carter demonstrating "Boing" with Shox. The amount of product on walls at shoe stores provides option, but there isn't any room to feature even an athlete poster on the interior of a store. You can only visually merchandise the window which is unseen because people are on their phones. You asked a great question, but your question is the foundation of a thesis for a book.

@@BudsCartoon graphic tees always crush a look

They haven't done a good job marketing them though. I think they are damn near the perfect winter/fall boot.

@@maddcodm9075 wear GT Cut for hoops fam, not J's.

@@jermainelandrum6768 greyish blue, shoulder shrug.

Thanks for watching. This isn't the hyped cool content so I really appreciate you taking the time to check it out.

A lot of people are doing the same which means fewer folks will be wearing Kobe's, when if Nike had made the Kobe line like Jordan you couldn't mention these new stars without mentioning Kobe. That's a legacy.

If that's all you got from this video I failed at creating a good discussion.

@@archbyccb no . The review was. Great I have this pair it's a great shoe fits better then the 1

@@enriquejacoby592 thanks. I've put a whole team in those this week. They love them. Also, I went through a bunch of non-Liberty WNBA game footage and hardly any people on other teams are wearing her shoes. Tons of dudes in the NBA did wear them though.
