(If you can find any verifiable information about this, please post it cheap nike air max the comments section. )However, there's no evidence to back these claims, besides the fact that Curry signed with Under Armour after Nike passed on an endorsement deal with him. Curry signed on with Under Armour in 2013. At that time he was a rising basketball star, but not the well-known player he would become by 2016. Fame and perceived influence play major roles in any sports celebrity endorsement decision, and in that same vein, an ESPN article from May 2015 noted that Nike simply didn't believe that Curry could sell signature shoes. They ended up refusing to match Under Armour's far more lucrative endorsement offer: Two years ago, Nike had a chance to pay Curry a lot of money and lock him up for the future.
After offering less than $2. 5 million a year, Nike had a second chance this time to nike air force 1 trainers match Under Armour's new offer. Unsure that Curry would ever be able to sell signature shoes, Nike let him go. A more detailed ESPN article March 2016 essayed the litany of reasons why Nike lost Steph Curry to Under Armour: The August [2013] meeting took place on the second floor of the Oakland Marriott, three levels below Golden State's practice facility. Famed Nike power broker and LeBron James adviser Lynn Merritt was not present, a possible indication of the priority — or lack thereof — that Nike was placing on the meeting. Instead, Nico Harrison, a sports marketing director at the time, ran the meeting (Harrison, who has since been named Nike's vice president of North America basketball operations, did not respond nike air max 90 hyperfuse women multiple interview requests).
In truth, there had been other indications that Nike lacked interest before this meeting. There was the matter of whether Curry would get to lead a Nike-sponsored camp for up-and-coming players. These camps aren't high on the list of fan concerns, but they matter deeply to the game's elite. They're a chance to teach a younger generation, to have interactions more meaningful than strangers clamoring for autographs on the street. Getting to run such a camp meant something to Curry, in part because participating in one meant something to him. When he was younger, Curry had gone to Chris Paul's camp and the experience made a lasting impression. Says Curry's friend and former roommate Chris Strachan, "He was always at Chris Paul's camps as a young guy, and he always looked up to nike free run sale Chris Paul.
