To say that the current NBA "Rising Star" who, there will be a name of Jamal Morant, he and Zion are a class of players, currently in the Grizzlies, recently played a phenomenon-level performance, many kills, some people say he is like Rose, some people say he is like Iverson, Little Jia In recent years, step by step, it is not overnight, such a valuable player, has long been included in Nike, and his signature shoes are also mentioned on the agenda.
Before the dog brother introduced to everyone the news that Morant will have signed shoes, and the style of this exposure is not the shoes prepared by Nike officials, but the design draft of netizens, the shape is really very good, everyone has given all the expectations to this player, his signature shoes are worth such a design, but everyone should also understand that Morant can not get such shoes at all.
Let's take a look at the design draft of the netizens, the complexity of the shoes is very high, the middle top height, the upper is composed of a variety of materials, the sense of line is obvious, the upper is a bit air max 97 feeling, the design of the neckline position is very eye-catching, and the reinforcement treatment should be done here. The side of the shoe has a huge swoosh that runs through the midsole to the upper, blending in with the upper line.
A large shoe top can be seen at the heel position, the material of the neckline is treated with a wrap around the hem, and the whole upper is complex and very stylish, which is very beautiful. The design of the midsole is amazing, and on the outside, this midsole is very thick and has a split palm design, but he is not the same as the traditional split midsole, very clever design.
The midsole is cut below the neckline, where a recessed design is made, the outside side has a reinforcing design, the carbon plate material should be used here, and there is Morant's signature on it, which can play a supporting role, a very special design. You can see an exposed air cushion in the heel position, it feels like it should be max, the whole back palm has also been thickened, and the design of the upturned is very in place.
Note that there is no outsole here in the heel, the outsole of the forefoot is a translucent crystal bottom, there is a flip-up design, a translucent zoom material is faintly visible, the area is very large, and it is particularly thick, if Nike can come up with such a combination of midsole formula, can this shoe still be fragrant? But it is precisely because of this configuration that this pair of signature shoes is completely impossible to meet with everyone.
The design is too complicated, the configuration of the midsole is too high, higher than the Irving series, the LBJ series, and even higher than the "strongest" team basketball shoes GT series, the cost is difficult to achieve, and making such a pair of shoes will break Nike's signature shoe system, with Morant's popularity, even if you give him a pair of slippers, everyone will pay the bill, why bother with the cost?
However, according to the shoes that Morant once got on, as well as the current layout of Nike, what his signature shoes will probably look like, and The dog brother thinks that he can also analyze a wave. First of all, Morant is a defender, his shoes are most likely to be low-top, look at some of the shoes he used before, such as Irving low-top series, Kobe series, PG and KD series, most of them are low-top shoes.
Recently, he prefers to wear ZK and KD shoes, wearing ZK can be understood, Kobe Bryant is everyone's idol, wear KD shoes? Probably purely because he likes this pair of shoes, his upper foot is not KD's new model, but a pair of KD4 generation, very old shoes, the upper with straps, the midsole is the configuration of the full palm Phylon material + forefoot Zoom air cushion, not very high.
But this pair of shoes has a characteristic, the shoe last is relatively narrow, may also be related to Morant's foot shape. In addition, the wrapping of this pair of shoes is also good, so is the Owen series, these should be Morant's needs, as for the cushioning and anti-twist of the shoes, the commercial version and the player version are completely different, the Nike he needs can be reflected in the player version, but the commercial version is what it is.
It is said that the PG series will end, the 6th generation will become a masterpiece, the Irving series may also end because of the reasons of the players, then Morant's signature shoes directly made up, if according to Nike's current grading standards, then Morant's signature shoe positioning is also like this, the upper limit is the Irving series, the lower limit is the PG series, and it is always impossible to give a full-handed air sole generation of products, right?
Synthesizing the above conjecture, The Dog Brother thinks that the Morant generation will probably be like this: the mid-low-top shoe body, the shoe last is narrow, the emphasis on the wrapping experience, there may be a lace-up design, the midsole cushioning may be the forefoot gum zoom, plus the combination of the full palm fat dragon. Positioned as a breakthrough stream of guard basketball shoes, it may overlap with the Irving series, but in terms of configuration, it is estimated to be lower than the Irving series.
For a generation of products, dog brother is not very optimistic, after all, Nike in the field of signature shoes in recent years, there is no amazing work, the new model updated every year, it feels like it is to complete the KPI and do the efforts, not from the player's personal needs, there are actual good shoes are not fake, but the brand can do better. The decline in player signature shoes seems difficult to reverse unless Nike changes strategy.
Old Zhan has not worn the real generation in recent games, and changed to wear the "Envoy" series, but the LBJ series is still Nike's flagship model, the configuration is full, but it is limited to this; the style of Irving's upper foot, unlike the commercial version, although the configuration has improved, but the performance has been pulled crotch, a bit of a feeling of putting the cart before the horse; Paul George's signature shoes have been scolded to no, and the last generation of products has no highlights.
Look at the alphabet brother side, although he won the championship, but the means are disgraceful, the signature shoes are like that, the league treats him as a son, nike? It seems that this idea is not yet available. The brand's positioning of its signature shoes is particularly clear, the cost budget card is very strict, and Morant's signature shoes are also in this system, there will be no change, the configuration is not high enough, but pray that he does not pull the crotch in practice.
Well, this article analyzes morant's signature shoes and says here, what do you think about his signature shoes? What kind of positioning do you think it will be? Welcome to leave a message in the background and discuss with brother dog.
