Adidas, who didn’t sign Caitlin Clark to a contract, has already put out a congratulatory statement to Caitlin. At this point, Angel Reese will have her Reebok shoe out long before CC does. Maybe that was the big plan…
It’s the best contract that was offered to her and at the time it was universally looked at as a great deal for both sides. Nothing changes. She will make more money in the long run with Nike than with Under Armor, Adidas, or Puma. For Nike, they have to prioritize Aja. Aja, although the MVP, needs the marketing. Caitlin is growing in popularity without them. If they push Caitlin now, they lose what they have invested in Aja. This will also drive demand for Caitlin’s shoe. They’re going to sell out instantly like Jordans.
if she could have gone to underarmour with curry, two best shooters in basketball. shoe deal, royalties and stock options since the company is 40x smaller she will grow the co. along curry.
@@okaylexchannel2519 No one is lining up to buy Under Armor shoes. Steph is getting outsold by guys like Ja Morant and LaMelo Ball (whose deal is with Puma!)
@@closequarters4575 true! but no one buying nike before jordan came in aswell. who knows? but we know that CC is hot commodity and can sell a regular ball in an hour.
@@csr2120 It don't take much to turn a company around. Look at New Balance and Asics. No one in sneaker culture gave 2 fucks about either, and now they have some of the most popular shoes.
Nike has been on the downhill in recent years. Shoe brands like Hoka and Asics are coming up fast since the pandemic. Nike just axed their CEO who was on the job only for 3+ years. If you were a Nike stockholder and Nike ain't making $$$ off the Caitlin Clark effect, you would want that product manager fired asap for sleeping on the job.
Big CC fan but this is a reach. The deal was comparable and the most anyone was offering at the time and Nike never does anything in the first year with the athlete. It’s more important to get the shoe right than just throw something out there.
If you read the financial news Nike seems to be having some management problems right now. They just fired and replaced their CEO. Their stock price, sales, and market share has been going down. My guess is that their inaction probably has something to do with the management changes at Nike and hopefully that will get fixed soon.
The new CEO could get off to a good start by actually using the most popular athlete on the planet, who they have under contract, to sell merch. It's sort of a no-brainer, which tells you something about the previous CEO.
Mick! Caitlin was just in New York for her nike contract! She doesn't want to throw her name on a shoe!! Stop that! She only wears Kobe's!!! So she is working not only with nike but with Vanessa as well! She will have a kobe shoe! She has already showed us a few of her player exclusives...she went to the yankee game a little bit ago cause she was in new york about her shoe! Caitlin does shit in the dark! This is their plan. We dont need constant updates on her shoe! Its coming!!!
Sure it’s “coming” but not until 2026-2027! They have to wait almost 2 years from when A’ja Wilson’s shoe hits the market. I don’t know why that is but probably in the players’ contract so that they get their share of the revenue before Nike unloads another signature shoe for a more popular player (Caitlin).
UA, Adidas, Reebok…. anyone. Whoever puts out her shoe is going to make so much money. The problem is she has been a loyal Nike fan since way before she was signed. I remember her saying she couldn’t afford Kobe’s but she wanted to wear them. Now she has unlimited pairs so that might be good enough for her at the moment.
Meanwhile CC is getting paid $291,666 per month (before tax)to do nothing. i'll take getting paid that for them to not promote me. It's not that big of a deal Mick. Welcome to the W-ENVY-A
They didn't forget. They have her contracted and they figured they'll get to her when they are ready. She signed too long of a deal and doesn't have leverage. But behind the scenes im sure they are working on something.
Get to her when they are ready? She's red hot now. Any decently run company would be capitalizing on her popularity now and making tons of money off her now.
Oh, I don’t know…a CC shoe release for the Christmas holidays may just be the smartest marketing plan Nike can do!…and they won’t be cheap, and they will set record sales!
I really like this channel from the start, at this point Mick is just going to the flow with the fandom for the clicks. There’s no official announcement yet. 1-2 years to process a shoe line. Be responsible bro.
I would have thought that she, being a marketing major, and her parents being marketing execs, would have waited a bit before signing a long term contract. CC could sell anything now: Dress shoes, fashion eyewear, hair products, anything you can think of. We the people love Caitlin. She represents the very best in us as human beings.
The risk was a big injury or if the pro career didn't go great, the money could have come off the table. It's basically an insurance policy. The deal makes her rich and further endorsement deals will make her even richer.
In May there was a Tweetstorm to Nike to tell them that another player deserved the contract, not her. In all my years following NBA, I have never seen the likes of this
They pay the geniuses who run these big companies 10's or 100's of millions a year, and this is what they do. Nike just pushed out their CEO, so maybe they'll turn it around with new leadership.
It will be hysterical if Wilson's shoe flops and then CC's comes out and the sales figures sizzle. I will enjoy seeing Nike look stupid and watching the entitlement/victim crowd have a fit.
This is the crux of the matter. They want to sell the most amount of shoes in total, which is to use Caitlin to boost everyone’s popularity so they can sell more Aja shoes. They know Caitlin’s will sell out instantly when they get released, however if they release Caitlin’s first, they’re probably worried none of the other girls’ shoes will sell.
Are they giving Page 28 million? NO. Nike HASN’T completely ignored Caitlin Clark, who do you think makes all her T shirts and Jerseys? Who is making more than Clark from Nike? Nobody!
654,000 tv viewers for the Sun/Lynx playoff game is awful, terrible. Attendance of just 8,500 for the Sun/Lynx playoff game is awful, terrible. 5,000 unsold seats at the Aces/Liberty playoff game is awful, terrible. Discussion is over, league is dead without Caitlin.
It IS her loss. She is being ignored. They also got her to sign a bad contract. Now, yes, she chose to sign it. But Nike is costing her nearly 100 million.
She signed the contract on the understanding she would get 5% from every shoe sale. But now it looks like Nike has no plans to release a CC shoe for years. This is costing her millions. If she is going to be like MJ and still be a superstar in 40 years it might not matter as she will get her money in the end. But if she fades back to obscurity in 8 years she might have lost $50 million plus if they don’t hurry up and release the CC shoe.
You seem to know a lot about her deal.She recently flew to New York for 3 days to meet with Nike.Did you ever think that because of it been Clark that you can rush this.I am sure she has even renegotiate her contract.She is a savvy businesses woman
Nike has a real opportunity here. Put CC and A'ja in a commercial together. Look what converse did for magic and bird. Can really do a lot to cause some tensions.
It's NORMAL especially for Nike signature athletes to not get a shoe in their first 2 years UNLESS its a PE (which she is already wearing). Her shoe will be completely custom, she has to go through approving the design, working out in the shoes, testing what tech she likes and that USUALLY takes 2 years. For example: Nike signed Zion in 2019 and he didnt debut his shoe until 2021, Ja Morant signed in 2019 and didnt get his signature shoe until 2023, took Sabrina 3 years after she signed as a signature athlete to get hers. BE PATIENT!
Nike took the lead over the big guys with MJ's shoe. It would be fitting if CC could get away from them and go to ADIDAS and put them back on top after all these years. It would add insult to injury that Nike had her signed already. When I was growing up THE GAP was the most popular clothing store, and now you can buy their shorts on sale for $4 at Sam's Club. Anyone can fall off the top.
Once the Caitlin Clark shoe comes out, they will not be able to sell any other shoe. They probably have a formula for milking as much money out of the others as they can before they let hers out
Maybe they’re waiting for all the crap to die down? Playing the long game leave us hanging to build the anticipation? Working on a fool proof marketing campaign? Surely Nike has a plan, they love $. And surely CC has a % cut from all sales in her contract on top of the $28m? Give it another 6 to 12 months before hitting the panic button I think.
They met her price. I don’t blame Clark or her agent. She can renegotiate as her brand grows. She has a bright future but what if she’d have negotiated before the 6th game this year?
Nike doesn't want to hurt feelings...you have seen the comments from some when she got the contract. Only players within the circle are allowed to get promoted at the moment. the W and some people in and around are a little bit strange when it comes to marketing strategy, backing up players (or not) and other topics. I guess and hope that Paige will have an easier life when it comes the league and most of the players as she seems to be accepted by a lot of them already.
Paige has the UConn mafia behind her, and she has groveled about the issue of race, so she'll have it much easier. I'm sure they'll use Bueckers to try to make CC look bad.
When I heard the contract Caitlin signed with Nike I was like what the heck?!…she really sold herself short….nike robbed her big time! I was absolutely shocked!!!…..
Nike is bowing down to the people that whined about A'ja Wilson not having a signature shoe. It really is that simple. They launched AJ's shoe and they're not going to risk having the same whiners come back at them for letting CC steal her thunder. It will be awhile before you see a Caitlin Clark signature shoe.
I feel like there's just way too much hype for them not to be expediting a shoe and CC line if their original plan was to wait for a few years, so I think we'll see something in year 2 BUT it's Nike and they haven't promoted her at all since her pro debut, so I don't really know what's going on. Hopefully it's soon
Ok now you're tripping lol. I absolutely love Caitlin, but she's not bigger than LeBron was in 2003 come on now lol. LeBron's high school games were on ESPN he had the most hype of any player ever and that was before the internet/social media boom. She's bigger than LeBron right now for sure in terms of the hype around her.
i'm pretty sure CC in meetings with nike when she was in new york, and on the baseball game during olympic break.. I'm pretty sure her attorneys are on the ball too.. since she's a pro.. if any of us are a multimillionaire... well then your rich.. but CC are richer than most of us.. playing in WNBA is more for fun than anything else. 🤣
As consolation, she likely got a few million up front, and can use her name to promote other products. At the time of the deal, all were unsure of how well she would do. So we’re second guessing here. But it appears her advisers are not the best. Nike appears to be the biggest loser. Imagine how well a “rookie of the year special edition” CC shoe would have sold.
You clearly weren't around for Lebron in 2003. Aside from that, agree with everything else said here. But CC isn't bigger than Bron when he entered the league.
Caitlin has 200+ days. That's 200+ days of the highest level sports agents and lawyers pounding her door. She will get the upside to every negotiation since she's proven her value already. She will be the highest paid and earning female athlete in the next 5 years. She might even have her own Klutch Sports and have a sports agency herself handling female athletes. She's so influential that kids want to be around her atmosphere.
Numbers are already there. Nike is late. Wokeness changes what it means to “come alive.” “I repeat, they are giving Paige Beukers a shoe.” Numbers? They’re not talking about number of DOLLARS.
She's got the equivalent Pippen contract of shoe deals, lol you just mentioned that at 6:42. She should break the Nike contract and get a shoe deal with Steph at Underarmour - I'm sure she would end up making more than the Nike deal, but the marketing campaigns with CC and SC would be insane.
Hard to call a $28 million deal to a female athlete as being a bad deal much less the worst deal ever. Has any woman gotten more $$ from a single brand deal? Maybe Serena.
You know mick i would care but half my family is gone in the hills of north Carolina. No getting a hold of them. This is 100% Irish bloodline bud. Fuck basketball.
Im older now so i dont buy alot of shoes. i have only bought 1 pair of jordans and 1 pair of airforce in the past decade but i would buy a pair of Clarks. How many people are out there like me and how much money have they already lost?
You’re assuming she made a bad deal. Have you seen the fine print? Im guessing no. As the saying goes, the devil is always in the details, and you’re assuming her lawyers and management don’t know what they’re doing. Wait a while and maybe give her and them a little more credit.
Her shoe should have been out before the all star game....hell she was promoted and signed by nike at Iowa and knew what they had....female MJ PROBABLY BETTER SALES
Wilson seems to be the only smart ones marketing Caitlyn Clark.
Gatorade didn't waste any time....
Adidas, who didn’t sign Caitlin Clark to a contract, has already put out a congratulatory statement to Caitlin. At this point, Angel Reese will have her Reebok shoe out long before CC does. Maybe that was the big plan…
I didn't like Nike before, I really despise them now.
Thanks! I know they can do something because Kobe’s wife really likes Caitlin
Contracts were made to be broken. 🖕nike
If you want to get an answer from Nike, go to the stock research analysts. Money talks.
I hope she can get out of that contract
She won't. Not with contracts.
It’s the best contract that was offered to her and at the time it was universally looked at as a great deal for both sides. Nothing changes. She will make more money in the long run with Nike than with Under Armor, Adidas, or Puma.
For Nike, they have to prioritize Aja. Aja, although the MVP, needs the marketing. Caitlin is growing in popularity without them. If they push Caitlin now, they lose what they have invested in Aja.
This will also drive demand for Caitlin’s shoe. They’re going to sell out instantly like Jordans.
Not unless it’s a breach of contract which means she promised a shoe before a certain date and don’t deliver. But I’m sure that didn’t happen.
@@closequarters4575 That's a good analysis. Hope you are right! Caitlin deserves a fair shake and to be paid fair market value.
Nike already breached the contract by giving the MVP the shoe first.
I would hire a great lawyer to figure what it would cost to get out of the contract and move over to Curry at UA.
The world loves Caitlin Clark ❤ ☺️🔥🏀
She is a breath of fresh air in the world of pro sports.
Always thought 28 million was way to low.
Wonder if she got a % of profits like Jordan’s momma secured? That would be awesome.
Clark has the leverage. She can renegotiate this deal
No you didn't. Its literally the most a W player ever got

She's got the equivalent Pippen contract of shoe deals, lol you just mentioned that at 6:42. She should break the Nike contract and get a shoe deal with Steph at Underarmour - I'm sure she would end up making more than the Nike deal, but the marketing campaigns with CC and SC would be insane.
Hard to call a $28 million deal to a female athlete as being a bad deal much less the worst deal ever. Has any woman gotten more $$ from a single brand deal? Maybe Serena.
Ignoring CC gets the Nike brand mentioned. This story is promoting A'Ja's name
Why does anyone care? Nike, Clark, everyone is going to be OK.
And in a hundred years we'll all be dead. Why do you care if somebody else cares?
Boycott the Aja Wilson shoe until the Caitlin Clark shoe comes out.
It doesn't even need to be boycotted. Weak sales will happen naturally.
Wow. Y'all care more about Caitlin's affairs than Caitlin does.
This is just like the WNBA signing the new CBA too early. Very dumb!
You know mick i would care but half my family is gone in the hills of north Carolina. No getting a hold of them. This is 100% Irish bloodline bud. Fuck basketball.
Im older now so i dont buy alot of shoes. i have only bought 1 pair of jordans and 1 pair of airforce in the past decade but i would buy a pair of Clarks. How many people are out there like me and how much money have they already lost?
give her a percentage of the shit you're selling using her image and likeness
Nike is sooooo bad right now.
Hey, give Nike a break. After all, they do have a high turnover rate. 😂
You’re assuming she made a bad deal. Have you seen the fine print? Im guessing no. As the saying goes, the devil is always in the details, and you’re assuming her lawyers and management don’t know what they’re doing. Wait a while and maybe give her and them a little more credit.
hopefully she is getting money put into her account
She is
If Caitlyn's contract with Nike was that low...how much do you think Aja got from Nike
Matt Damon wasn’t there to make sure it was a good contract.
She’s still getting paid. I’m sure she’s got people looking into it.
Nike is Nuts!!!
Boycott Nike!
She is still going to get her $28 million.No need to feel sorry for her.
Miss watching the video? Not about feeling sorry. It’s called BUSINESS. Whole different game than “feelings.”
CANCEL NIKE...
Her shoe should have been out before the all star game....hell she was promoted and signed by nike at Iowa and knew what they had....female MJ PROBABLY BETTER SALES
I wonder if CC is getting anything since nothing is happening with her shoe ?
Didn't under armor offer her 16 million for 4 years?
Nike getting new CEO Oct 14. They have not been doing we..
Maybe the new CEO will be fair to Clark.
