Who is the market for basketball shoes? Young black men….man they’re not gonna buy this stuff. It’s a virtue signal deal…not that different than the one they did for kaepernick.

Nike will lose money on this but they don’t care

The amount of posters that have just melted down completely because of Clark having success has been an interesting watch.

Yes she’s that popular especially aiming teenage girls because shocker teenage girls like seeing another woman dominate and become famous. The sport will grow from this, how much not sure yet but denial of growth is just sad or insane

I think you are wrong and my guess is that Clark will be advertising a variety of athletic and athleisure clothing to the women’s market, which is massive (even larger than the men’s market).

Dude get a grip. $20 million while amazing to us, is arse compared to the best NBA player shoe deals.

Nike got a steal. There are millions of girls in jr high and high school that will throw down for this shoe and they’ll even get the occasional beta boy.

Good for her, these will sell
