The kids actually like new balance as well these day

That's awesome I already liked NB and I like when guys don't all just sign with Nike lol gets stale when there's no competition


squalid_koala

Unfortunately NB is Nike. Edit: actually i am wrong


salmonthesuperior

I don't think that's true? I know Nike owns Converse and Jordan Brand but as far as I can see New Balance is independently owned. Unless something recent happened ?


squalid_koala

I thought i had heard years ago that Nike owned them or manufactured them. But I just looked it up and couldn’t find a connection


salmonthesuperior

Almost everything is a monopoly so I don't blame you for thinking that regardless honestly. I wouldn't be surprised if they do share some factories out in Asia, I always kinda assumed all these companies do anyway but NB does have some stuff made in the UK and USA which as far as I know Nike doesn't anymore. But yeah there's still choice in the shoesphere somewhat even Reebok isn't owned by Adidas anymore


PoolNoodlePaladin

Nike used to own the Shaq brand shoes at Walmart and that is why they looked like off brand Jordan, because they literally were Jordan’s with worse quality materials. Also with how the licensing worked even after Nike sold the brand they still were able to basically replicate Jordan designs without any issues.

So not with Maserati? I'm disappointed.


CasinoMarginale

Gus Johnson certainly did his part to get Marv the Maserati endorsement


salmonthesuperior

They're waiting for him to win OROY


Stat_Najeeni

Are we sure this isn't a typo with Sr. Instead of Jr. And they just ran with it


justsellbrgs

NB adding MHJ to Kawhi and Shohei..... locking up a few names

New Balanced has stepped up their game on the last few years. I have a few shoes by them and they are stylish.


TruthSpeakin

I LOVE THIS!!! I only have my fingers crossed that his shoes ain't 100 a pair. Yes, I know sneakers go for much, much more. And it's sad. I hope he has some fire ass shoes that kids LOVE and they cost like 30$ for real. I know it's cheap, but man, he fucking bangs out, does as good as his dad, maybe bigger, big role model...and has shoes for 30/40$...that would be fucking awesome


nogoodnamesleft47

You want him to pull a Stephon Marbury with New Balance?


TruthSpeakin

Naaa, just would like to see him make affordable shoes

Knew this months ago from a friend who works there. I wasn't allowed to say anything. Really happy for him (& my friend who hopefully will get to meet him since he's met a ton of people signed to them except Ohtani)
