"Between its Nike, Jordan and Converse Brands, Nike owns roughly 95 percent of the United States' basketball shoe market."
I was somewhat surprised to see the number that high. I knew Nike owned the majority, but it really seemed like Addidas was taking out a larger than 5% chunk. They have a number of NBA stars signed to them including Rose.
We are in need of someone to take over the maintenance of the MMB. Yosef has done it for a long time, and we are grateful for all he has done, but life happens and he no longer has the time to devote to its upkeep. If anyone here is interested in helping to keep the board running, please let me know via DM.

Wow. I have boycotted Nike for 30 years but I see it hasn't hurt them all that much.

Re: Nike owns the shoe market
I wear a New Balance 571. Made in America which is why I purchase this particular shoe. Then again that is not a high-cut basketball shoe either.fjblair wrote:Wow. I have boycotted Nike for 30 years but I see it hasn't hurt them all that much.
