@@soraisthatguy CR7 is way more famous than ronaldo nazario lmao Had this been 2010 then yes, nazario would be "the ronaldo" but nowadays hes just a fat retired footballer, and whenever someone mentioned ronaldo everyone thinks of cr7 🤷♂️
Yes and I think that's the direction Nike is heading. Their new CEO John Donahoe was CEO of Ebay and ServiceNow before, so he comes from the tech industry. That's quite unusual for Nike, normally they promote from their own roster of talents and bet on managers with athletic background instead of hiring from outside.
The negative of Matrix organisations is that employee loyalties/priorities can be conflicted. To be successful it must be slightly more lopsided than you’re describing
That's just one part of the story. The second is Ronaldo (the Brazilian striker). I remember growing up in Europe as a kid in the 80's and 90's playing football. Wearing Nike's was not done. Nike wasn't a football brand and if you showed up with Nike's u was considered lame and dumb. It were cool sneaker u would wear to school under your Levi pants, not football shoes. Once Nike contracted Ronaldo this changed and this gave Nike a footstep into the biggest sport in the world, football.
Videovorschlag: How about a video on Goalkeeper gloves? Who invented them, who are the most interesting/dominant companies? Why are they not used in Handball, GAA, American Football, etc.?
@C Patir Ronaldo by 22 was 2 times Balloon Dor and won the WC, the reason why CR7 has better numbers are the insane amount of injuries that R9 had to face
NAH. Ronaldo Nazario is the most gifted footballer ever even more than Messi or CR but he's not close to either one of them. Sadly he was too inconsistent and too injury prone to have a stellar career which was at its peak >24 years of age. That's simply the truth!
@@enzocarneiro6748 Being fit and injury free is a part of being the best.. You can't give injuries as an excuse to not achieve greatness..Cuz it's fundamentally a part of it
If you enjoyed the first part of the video, I highly recommend the book "Shoe Dog: A Memoir by the Creator of Nike" by Phil Knight. It tells the story of the first years of Nike (Blue Ribbon). It is a great story and makes you realize how hard were those years and how they become a successful brand. Congratulations on the content of this channel. Great stuff as always.
I really appreciate how the transitions for each of your videos are so distinct and top-notch! Kudos @athletic Interest! Love the inputs and breakdowns
Makes a fantastic point about creating additional categories. Just this week I was considering buying a pair of running shoes as well as flat soled shoes for the gym when really I only need one pair
Another quality video, full deserved how quick your channel has exploded. This video idea is such a coincidence with a video I’ve just uploaded today 😅 great minds think alike... keep up the great work!
The reason NIke is winning at the minute is that their online retail operation has been superb since the strategy change 2017. I could order a pair of Vaporflys from Nike UK today and they would be on my doorstep by Thursday evening/Friday morning all the way from Belgium. Even the customised By You range has an insanely short lead time. I bought a pair of Flyknit Lunar 3s in 2018 in my own custom colourway and they had reached me from the manufacturing facility in China in just over a week.
@@AthleticInterest can you make a channel taking about a broader spectrum like Amazon and big businesses your videos are very interesting and very good at it I think you’d be much better than other channels
Michael Jordan made Nike relevant when he signed with them in 1984. Long before the Atlanta Olympics & Michael Johnson. He made it so big that he had his own line of Nike apparel & became the blueprint for other athlete sponsorships. Owning Nikes & Jordans suddenly became cool.
That does not matter, since Adidas is the same, and even better quality.. Ppl are just sheeps, and they go for whatever is in trend now and cool... So Nike just got lucky with Jordan, and second that many did recognize them as premium brand over Adidas...
@@themobster7284 or it's a matter of taste. Dismissing other's preferences & preaching people to buy Adidas because it has "better quality" is just you also making them follow you as 'sheeps' because if we're bein honest - Nike, Adidas, New Balance, Puma, etc.. are about just the same when it comes to their manufacturing practices (with negligible difference in quality across all their products in general). Pretty sure there's someone out there who'd claim that Nike has the better quality & at that point, it's just gonna be your word against his.. Now multiply both sides to thousands & see where we're going with this.. It can only be settled once a comprehensive study by a reputable authority conducts tests & experiments to prove that Adidas or any brand has the superior quality over the others.
Nike learned their lesson when Michael Jordan was about to leave them for another brand after the bad performance on court by Air Jordan II. Thankfully Nike had Tinker Hatfield (another Oregon college athlete) in their designer team and he worked close with MJ in the creation of Air Jordan III. If Jordan left Nike in 1987, I think Nike would be equally known as Asics today.
Just gotta say that you guys inspire me, mainly because of the "Red Bull", "Jurgen Klopp", "Kobe Bryant" & "Lebron James" videos... Thank you sooo much 😭😭😭🌹
I think you should talk about the collabs and how they are not only using athletes but for example, Travis Scott or Off White to reach a new demographic and make a limited quantity making you want to get them when they drop next or maybe that can be a separate video.
I guess I`m a savage who uses sneakers cross category without giving it too much thought. I only separate into: Am I going to walk a lot and need it comfortable, or will I mostly be hanging out and want the most beautiful. The rest is matching color with outfit.
I wholeheartedly agree. I am basically a double med tech and business admin educated startup ceo. I found myself fascinated by your description of Nike's Product Silos vs Sports Category strategy. Could you elaborate on this approach or point me to a source that gives more details.? I think I have organically adopted this approach but would love some more examples and guidance of using it in other industries. Thanks and keep up the high quality work🙂
Not sure how I missed this video. Keep up the good work! One part you didn't cover is their hype beast models and or street wear. That's a massive driving factor in many ways for Nike. The limited drops, even manufacturing more but holding them back not selling them to create hype. People finding limited drops years later at outlets after they sold out and selling on stock X for over retail and so on.
That's soo dumb, I can't believe why people care about that. I want shoes that fit and look decent, and I want them once my old pair breaks. Why would I care about their scarcity or resale value?
This channel is highly professional and clearly the creators have a background in finance and research.. would be interested how it came into being, because usually channels don't start out like that lol
These videos have been something I've been looking forward to every while or so. I'm an Adidas person to be honest, but getting the little insight into the other company is good. Thanks for the insights :)
Great video, but the Nike Vaporfly is not banned straight up, it is banned from track events. So it's still legal for your local 5K and the Olympic Marathon.
You missed one of the Nike's greatest athlete - Michael Johnson. If Nike would be really serious about womens, they must not be facing lawsuits against Alison felix nd many other female athletes.
