MEGA New Miami Adidas Ultraboost🔥 - The Shoe and Nike/Adidas Thread.

My frame isn’t built for high tops

I'm not a big fan of the older high-tops of yesteryear that require a couple of hours to lace and unlace. I like Jordan 1 lows and mids.

You apparently have difficulty reading and processing.

On top of their sponsorship deal they gave an additional $3 million for the indoor facility. And you are factually wrong, we did not put their logo "everywhere". There is one Adidas logo in the entire facility. If you want to argue about that, then I can post the pictures I just took. My comment simply stated that if their offer is at the top of the offers we are not going to just bail because certain fans want a check mark on our jerseys.

Adidas has been a good partner to UM and when Nike wouldn't even supply us with new uniforms for every game Adidas came in and made us their highest paid school. I want whichever brand pays us more and treats us better, I don't care.

You don’t care but recruits do care. Miami has lost out on a few recruits because they aren’t a Nike school. Teenagers and young adults care about these things.

Majority of the fan base hates Adidas as well

Merchandise sales would be a lot higher if we were a Nike school

I can't give this post enough 100's.

Absolute truth.

Bro, I just don’t know why ppl don’t understand the simple equation of cause & effect.

Like there’s a couple in this fan base that r stubborn af.

Here’s an article from 2017 that has come to full fruition some 8 yrs later:

Nike Dominates College Football, and it Shows No Signs of Ever Letting Up

For years Nike has completely dominated the college football landscape.

www.samford.edu

This is something I discussed w/ @LeedsCane on a podcast, as to why so many top kids attend Nike branded schools

By the numbers: Once Nike gets a five-star college recruit, he's unlikely to ever leave

To companies like Nike and Adidas, every basketball player is a walking commercial. And they hope the athletes wearing their gear will become stars.

www.courier-journal.com

And UTSA, a long time Adidas brand just bounced to Nike. I told everyone Nike had vengeance on their mind. They r becoming more & more entrenched at the grass roots level, with their influence growing. We’ve lost a ton of recruits b/c of this, 7 off the top of my head in the past 3 cycles.

Some people can’t see the bigger picture. They only look at things from their pov. It’s obvious as **** Miami need to go back to Nike. Mario was at Oregon and he saw first hand how Nike works. And I believe that works to our favor.

Hopefully DRad is long gone before those negotiations start

in fairness, he did negotiate this deal. Also, as me & @TheOriginalCane have been preaching, notice their royalty deal.

The Clemson & Nike Partnership

clemsontigers.com

Per a fiscal report, Clemson generated $21.1m in sponsorship revenue, Nike being their biggest sponsor which includes all Clemson x Nike branding across all platforms either e-commerce or bricks & mortar. $5.8/yr in cash equipment + 14% royalties = they are making more $$$ than our apparel contract w Adidas which is cash & apparel only.

Would he be on board with leaving Adidas?

The quality of the Nike apparel, I still own from years ago. And bring back New Era for hats please.

I cringe when shopping online for Miami merchandise, Adidas sucks

You are THE MAN, @Rellyrell ...

I know some of the "but I want a big guarantee" crowd are pretty clueless about this ****, but 14% is a very high royalty rate.

I may not be a big fan of what Radakovich is doing in his "Miami retirement", but he did a **** fine job for Clemson while he was there.

He’s worked with Nike at both GT & Clemson, and allegedly has a good relationship with them. GT was a a Russell Athletics school, but Nike provided their footwear.

In 2017, adidas announced a 10 year deal with Louisville that was for $160M. That is $16 M per year.

In 2015, adidas announced a 12 year deal with Miami that was for $93.6M. That is $7.8 M per year.

And before you think that something wild happened between 2015 and 2017, please realize that adidas had ALREADY given Louisville $7.8 M per year JUST ONE YEAR before the Miami deal. So, somehow, between 2014 and 2015, the market did not increase AT ALL, but between 2015 and 2017, the market DOUBLED?

In just TWO YEARS, adidas was willing to pay a rival school in our own conference MORE THAN DOUBLE what it agreed to pay "flagship" Miami. Amazing. Outrageous.

Now, I realize that these numbers are a combination of base comp, "activation", and products. Specifically:

1. Louisville got $10 M of base comp annually for the first 3 years, then $7 M of base comp for the next 7 years, for a total of $79 M.
2. Louisville received $3 M of activation annually for the first 3 years, then $1 M of activation for the next 7 years, for a total of $16M.
3. Louisville received $6M of product annually for the first 2 years, $6.1 M for the next 3, and then $6.2M for the final 5, for a total of $61.3M.

These three components add up to $156.3 million, so there's another $3.7 million hiding in there somewhere.

If you applied similar percentages, this would mean Miami got:

1. Base comp of $46.2 M over 12 years, or $3.85 M per year.
2. Activation of $9.36 M over 12 years or $780 K per year.
3. Product of $35.86 M over 12 years or $2.99 M per year.

Just think about this. Only TWO YEARS into a TWELVE-YEAR DEAL, the market price for an ACC team had DOUBLED.

So, yeah, anyone who thinks that we should be oh-so-grateful to bid-daddy-adidas, or praising Beta Blake for getting us SO MUCH MORE MONEY, feel free to keep making your pro-adidas arguments, because nothing will ever change your mind.

As for me, I'll be happy making a 15% royalty rate. **** all this used-car-salesman mumbo jumbo, between base comp and activation and product.

adidas took advantage of our desperation, they locked us into a favorable deal, and then they gave Louisville DOUBLE what they paid us, and only 2 years later.

University of Louisville celebrates new $160 million Adidas contract

Louisville, at a press conference on Friday, confirmed the details of its new apparel contract extension with Adidas.

[TheOriginalCane]

Also, for the math-challenged, with a 15% royalty:

If you want to make $5 M per year BASE COMP (I am now ignoring "activation" and products), you would need to sell $33.33 M of merch.

If you want to make $10 M per year BASE COMP, you would need to sell $66.67 M of merch.

And at this point, I hope everyone can figure out that if you sell $100 M of merch, you would make $15 M in royalties.
