The last two years of ANTA is very fierce, the product is powerful, the technology is also powerful, made a lot of cost-effective super styles, basketball field, there are Thompson, Hayward, as well as Wiseman, Mann, Caruso, Rooney and other spokespersons, before chasing Lavin, also did "signature shoes", helpless people put ANTA twice pigeons, recently, the brand has exposed the big news, they look at another champion in the NBA hot defender.
Booker signature shoes?
What's going on here? It turned out that Anta's designer Duane A Lawrence sent a dynamic, he made a pair of signed shoes for Devon Booker, the official has not yet determined whether to sign, the designer's behavior, is it autonomous, or the brand has acquiesced?
Duane A Lawrence, this person should be no stranger to everyone, before the dog brother's article appeared many times his name, he is the designer of the GH series, is Miller's friend, but also the designer of the Way of Wade, has a lot of classic works, and now the GH3 generation, won everyone's praise.
He should be regarded as an ace designer of Anta, suddenly posted the design draft, why is it? Let's take a look at his manuscript first, the shoes are of mid-top height, and the color scheme is a combination of orange and black, which has the feel of the Sun Team. The upper seems to use a foam material, the tongue position is relatively soft, other places have vertical lines blessing, the midsole and upper are combined together, very characteristic.
The upper of this pair of shoes is very handsome, starting from the toe, to the heel here, there are vertical lines blessings, these vertical lines also have breathable holes, the midsole seems to be wrapped by the upper, there is a curved structure, should be the upper edge of the middle of the shoe. Here, the tongue is made of softer materials, which are also all over the ventilation holes.
The tongue position seems to be made of a foreskin structure, and the tongue is towering, which can improve the unity of the shoe to a greater extent. The neckline position, made of a circular design, where the foam padding is a little more to protect the ankle. In the last picture, the designer added the ANTA logo, there is a small logo in the toe position, and here on the heel, there is also an ANTA logo on the black curved tpu.
Notice the logo in the lower right corner of this picture, which is the logo of Duane A Lawrence, not Booker's logo, so is Anta really going to chase the NBA Suns core guard?
Sign an NBA guard?
Booker's potential is still very large, the current Suns are also very strong, it is very likely to win the championship this year, and Booker, who has been a signed player of Nike before, likes Kobe very much, so he almost wears the ZK series on the field, and also wears Nike's team model, but the number of times is very small.
Supposedly, a player of his level, Nike should have given him autograph shoes, but why hasn't it been? The current situation of Nike basketball is well understood, and several of the current signature shoes can not be taken care of, but also to give Morant a signature shoe, Booker is good, but in Nike's umbrella, at most is to wear a PE model.
In this case, does ANTA have a chance to sign Booker? Brother Dog feels that there is indeed a chance, Booker should have signed a contract with Nike after entering the league, that nike also gave him a PE shoe, called Zoom Rev 2017, a special Sun team color, the tongue position has an exclusive logo, although it is a team shoe, but for him, at the time, this glory is really good.
Later, in 2019, Nike launched an AF1 PE for him, a pair of shoes that are very well matched, a light blue upper, adding a gray and silver embellishment, a little yellowish feeling in the midsole, and a blue pendant with Booker's name written on it. The heat of this pair of AF1s is very high, and Booker himself has been on his feet many times.
The value of Devon Booker is far from this exposure on the court, off the court, he and the Kardashian family's little sister Kendar Jenna are in love, the golden boy and the jade girl do not say, both are representatives of the top traffic, the topic is explosive. The recent Suns have a perfect lineup and are superior, and if they win the championship, the glory is innumerable.
Booker from a few years ago, do not wear other shoes, focus on wearing the Kobe series, before he dabbled in a wider range, now, basically Kobe IV Protro and Kobe V Protro back and forth, his shoes are PE color, but there is no his own logo, for him, this is faith, is the pursuit, is the admiration of Kobe, is the means to motivate himself.
But isn't there a day when he, who is so determined about Kobe Bryant, will choose another brand? In Nike can never wear signed shoes, if there is, it is estimated that it will not be a good design, a good configuration, if you cooperate with domestic brands? It's very tempting for a team core with the potential to compete for the title.
Booker wants to create his own era, there are signed shoes, which is also a very important step, so in the eyes of Brother Dog, ANTA and his cooperation are possible, but this is not the result of ANTA's wishful thinking, but also depends on the dynamics of the follow-up two sides, after all, in Lavin, ANTA suffered a loss.
The chase for Lavin failed
The story of ANTA and Lavin is very long, as early as 2014, the Lavin of the Society was signed with Nike, and then the contract ended in 2017, the network rumor ANTA and Lavin contacted, and it was infinitely close to signing, when Lavin's logo, KT3 generation low-top version of PE, as well as a variety of advertising materials, and even a pair of signed shoes, everything, waiting for the official announcement.
As a result, LaVine chose Adi, 4 years later, Lavin and Adi terminated, during this period, the brand only made him a pair of PE models, to be honest, a bit bleak, and Lavine is far from the little rookie in 2014, he joined forces with DeRozan in the Bulls, played well, took the dunk king, participated in the three-point war, and finally did not choose Anta.
And this will be ANTA is not the garbage brand in 2014, they have their own technology, with a super design, some time ago, ANTA's designers posted their signature shoes for Lavin, before the dog brother also introduced to everyone, this shoe can completely compete with Li Ning's Way of Wade, the Shuai series.
The designer also posted a few manuscripts, as well as the sample drawing in the design process, when in order to make him a "signed shoe", Anta came up with three plans, and the one we finally saw was the winning plan, that is, there were two basketball shoes that exploded like this pair of shoes, but their fate was not very good, and they may not meet with everyone in the end.
"Lavin 1st generation" adopts a mid-top design, the shoe body line is very smooth, the design of the lace hole is very surprising, adding a round honeycomb-like element, the upper uses a scientific and technological fabric, the tongue is high, there is a number "8" on the shoe lift, indicating the identity, the upper position has a circular foam reinforcement, and the entire upper highlights are quite numerous.
The structure of the midsole is also very gratifying, the uppermost layer is the insole, and then the entire midsole cushioning material, using the full palm of the nitrogen technology, the heel position added "intelligent shock absorption technology", and then the following is the support structure, the midsole is a large piece of carbon plate, the area is larger than the previous frenzy 3.0Pro, the heel position is a three-dimensional support structure, in the midsole, both sides, the heel position have an extension, a very strong structure.
Such a high-end design, such a careful shoe, in the end was still vetoed by Lavin, it is said that the reason for the veto is because of ANTA's "technology", compared with NB's "brick" foot feeling, if this is true, the dog brother really does not understand. In short, Anta was tricked by Lavin several times, why were they so attached to him? Because at this time, ANTA has money, design, and technology, but they need a high exposure point.
When ANTA was exposed in the KT6 generation, it proposed a FLOW concept, Thompson belongs to "3D FLOW", focusing on support and stability, Hayward should belong to "quick flow", focusing on the sense of speed, and they also need a "jump flow", focusing on explosiveness, plus a series of blue-collar players in the "Z-UP" program, which constitutes Anta's NBA matrix.
Lavin, including the previous Jaylen Brown, as well as earlier Westbrook, Griffin, PG, Anta have tried, but have not succeeded, so that the complete basketball matrix can not be formed, the product system is incomplete, it is foreseeable that they will continue to look for "bouncers" in the league, design, technology has the ability, Will Booker be the next choice of ANTA? We'll have to wait and see.
Well, this content is here, what do you think of this pair of shoes exposed by ANTA? Do you think the brand can sign him? According to Anta's selection goals, who do you think is more suitable for signing in the league? Welcome to leave a message in the background and discuss with the dog brother.
