In addition to the defeat of Rome, all three other Italian teams have won, and the strength of Serie A is evident.
The Milanese who returned with the victory will become the darling of the media, and Kaka, who is in the limelight, has become a craze for journalists and fans. Unfortunately, the Brazilian’s private life is cleaner than his style on the court, and the paparazzi are strangled. It was not possible to dig up any big news with all the brains and tricks. It wasn't until somebody found out that Nike and Adidas were competing for Kaka, and the reporters finally had something to talk about.
For football shoe manufacturers, players are the best advertising carrier. Every move on the field is a live advertisement. For decades, the competition for players from players has never stopped, and with the advent of the Internet era, competition only It will get more and more intense.
Now Kaka is comparable to Mbappe in 2018 and 2019. At that time Neymar was gradually sinking. Harland had not yet made his head. The ninja turtles who led the coquettish World Cup were almost the undisputed young generation of Nanbowan.
Kaka is in a similar situation.
Ibrahimovic, Torres, Fabregas, Robben, Van Persie, Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi and other future bigwigs are still struggling hard in the secondary giants, or they are still quietly training the youth team, only Kaka showed early With the help of the Emperor, he not only shined in the World Cup, but also established a foothold in the most dazzling club at the age of twenty.
In the post-80s generation, Kaka is truly unique. As long as the eyes are not blind and the eyes are not broken, it is impossible for various sports manufacturers to let go of the future football giant that is visible to the naked eye.
The football shoe market was changed from a hundred flowers to Adidas and Puma, but after entering the 1990s, Puma gradually declined because of the adjustment of sales strategy. Nike took the opportunity to rise, and the field of football shoes became a two-person turn of Adidas and Nike.
Although the products of manufacturers such as Umbro and Under Armour are equally famous, it is not enough to compare the two big brothers.
As we all know, Nike has made Adidas a younger brother in the field of basketball shoes. If you miss again in football, the blow to Adidas will be fatal, so whether it is to create brilliance for itself or to fight competitors, the two sides have The fight for cards is spared no effort.
Both Adi and Nike only really aimed at him after the World Cup emerged. As Kaka performed better and better, their importance to Kaka was also increased step by step, and the conditions were becoming more and more exaggerated. Now Finally it was time for the bayonet to become red.
It's a pity that their people didn't even see Kaka's face, they were blocked by Silva.
In the Kaka family's study, Kaka and Silva sat opposite each other.
"If you only talk about manufacturing technology, Nike was not as good as Adidas before, but their strategy is to walk on two legs. On the one hand, they are signing big-name stars, and on the other hand, they are constantly innovating in technology. Now they are gradually able to fight with Adidas. "Silva apparently did enough homework and said without stopping, "Adidas' best product now is the Falcon series that came out in 1994."
"This shoe has been optimized three times. In 1995, it used the folding tongue design for the first time. In 1996, it used odd nail technology to make its performance in ball control more prominent. In 1998, the popular day at the time was introduced. The concept of foot, and the use of an asymmetrical lace system, is characterized by amazing change of direction, super power and good control, you have personally experienced it, I will not brag for them."
"There are three Nike's most famous sneakers, one is the T90 tank, and this year has just released the second generation, the one that Carlos wears, which is more suitable for power players. One is the legendary series launched in 1994. One is the Assassin series launched in 1998."
"Legend series... You don’t think it looks good, so don’t say much. The T90 is a little heavy and not suitable for speed players like you. As for the assassin, Ronaldo wore this boots for the two World Cups. You have often been Wear, they mean also hope you can become a spokesperson for the new generation of assassins."
"So throw away things like endorsement years and endorsement costs that we didn't attach too much importance, and now it's about choosing between Falcons and Assassins. They both promised to launch exclusive sneakers and customize boots for you every year."
Kaka looked at the two sneakers on the table and said nothing.
From his perspective, the falcons and assassins now have a sense of age, style and appearance are native, far less light and cool than later generations, so the choice is almost the same.
From an economic perspective, Nike is actually the better choice. Their basic shoe is basketball. They have always wanted to open the football market. Successfully signing Ronaldo made them taste the sweetness and chase Kaka. In fact, it is a big step ahead of Adidas.
In order to regain the disadvantage, Adidas also made a investment, but they have more endorsers here, Zidane, Raul, Beckham, Piero, etc., each card is bigger than Kaka.
There are actually many stories about the scramble for spokespersons between the two sides. The UU reading book www.uukanshu.com Messi battle is the most typical example.
Nike signed a contract with Messi in 2002, but Nike did not show enough sincerity and did not customize his shoes for him. After all, Messi was still playing for the Barcelona youth team. Messi has also been trying various mass-produced shoes. Until 2005, Messi shined in the World Youth Championship. In the same year, he was selected to the Argentine national team. Adidas subsequently opened a triple price tag. In early 2006, Messi snatched Messi, which caused a dispute between the two giants. Adidas won in the end.
The original historical Kaka endorsed the Falcon, but the appearance that best fits his aesthetic is the Nike poison bee series that has not yet been born.
It's cool.
"I am most concerned about which one has better protection for the feet."
"It's about the same, after all, it's not a fool, and I must have worked hard in this regard," Silva shrugged. "At least this is the publicity."
"What is your suggestion?"
"Nike."
"reason?"
"They give me more tips?" Silva made a joke first, "Adidas... can't be said to be arrogant, but the degree of attention is definitely not as good as Nike. The so-called exclusive shoes are actually in color matching and The unique logo is just an article, at most it is to make some improvements on the current Falcon, and Nike, they seem to have the courage to truly tailor a pair of real exclusive shoes for you, um... the assassin's God child series?
Kaka picked up the Falcon in his left hand and the Assassin in his right hand, patted the soles of the two, and finally put the Assassin down. "First contact the people from Adidas and talk about it."
"A bet?" Silva laughed. "You must have been an assassin."
"It depends on whether they are really so courageous."
