    Thursday, 5 November 2020 5 sneaker releases we can’t wait to see in November 2020 The Air Jordan 5 is a pop-culture classic thanks to the likes of ‘The Fresh Prince of Bel Air’, which saw actor Will Smith sport three different colourways of the Jordan 5 on the hit TV series back in the day. On its 30th birthday this year, both Air Jordan and Off-White showcase a new look for the Jordan 5 in yet another deconstructed design. The Jordan 5 “Black Metallic” was dropped in February of this year and the “Sail” variant takes on a similar OG-inspired colourway. It retains the reflective tongue as well as the shark-tooth adornments on the midsole but you can also spot Abloh’s industrial aesthetic all over the upper.

  • The Sidney Effect: Competitive Youth Hockey and Fantasy Relationships
    The Sidney Effect: Competitive Youth Hockey and Fantasy Relationships by Matthew John Ross Theoret A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in Public Issues Anthropology Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2009 © Matthew John Ross Theoret 2009 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This thesis explores how a group of 17 male youth athletes, and their families, experience competitive hockey. Many of the youths seem to forge fantasy relationships with hockey celebrities, heroes, and stars – e.g. Sidney Crosby – emulating them with regard to the “best” attitudes, equipment, and styles of play to have or use. Their parents invest considerable amounts of money and time into their sons’ participation in hockey, not because they necessarily share their sons’ dreams of athletic stardom, but because they hope that it will help instill community-defined “positive” values into their sons—tools needed to become “successful” youths and, eventually, adults. iii Acknowledgements First and foremost, I want to thank the anthropology department’s faculty and staff at the University of Waterloo for two great years. I am particularly grateful to my primary supervisor, Dr. Harriet Lyons. Taking her advice to switch thesis topics was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The dedication and support that she gives to her students is second to none.

  • Creative Brief Nike Air Force 1S
    Creative Brief Nike Air Force 1s Connor Carpani and Monique Ware Executive Summary: Nike is a household name in the world of sporting goods. Their products include athletic shoes, fashion shoes, apparel, and sports equipment (“Nike, Inc.,” 2014). Nike has a far reach, having stores in many countries worldwide. Their top competitors are Adidas, New Balance and Puma (“Hoovers,” 2014). While the Nike Air Force 1 has endured considerable commercial success, showing how Nike evolved as a brand proved to be important. Each prominent athletic shoe company has launched a popular sneaker model (“Hoovers,” 2014). The difference between these companies and Nike is that Nike outperformed its competitors with regards to marketing. In researching Air Force 1 and Nike as a whole, it became evident that Nike had been the pioneer in many different advertising segments. The data keenly expressed how Nike initiated trends in the past using athletes to advance their brand and how they intend to stay ahead of competitors in the future through modern environmental practices (“Nike, Inc.,” 2014).

  • Mark Smith / Hedcheq
    MARK SMITH / HEDCHEQ Mark Smith joined Nike in April, 1989. Hired by then VP of Design Mark Parker to explore concept apparel and graphics. Quickly drafted into Nike’s work with In Living Color, Madonna, Janet Jackson, and Heavy D, he was identified as the go-to guy for “energy” projects, out of the box design and elevated presentations. His other primary contributions helped establish Nike’s newly forming International Tee Shirt Program. The original FORCE logo was his first global graphic brand product mark. In 1991, footwear guru, Tinker Hatfield tapped Smith to partner on AIR RAID, and ultimately hired him into Nike Footwear Design where he apprenticed with Hatfield on Jordan, Running, Training, Tennis, and concept ideations including N Series, ACG, and Relay. Smith helped elevate Nike product communication and presentation by bringing diverse creative disciplines to projects and team, including, audio-video direction and production, environmental and retail concepting, interactive computer and digital, as well as product, apparel, graphics, and branding design work. Smith’s multilingual “performance graphic” outsole design was a notable contribution to Air Jordan IX. Color, graphic, and support design duties on AJXIII, AJXIV, and AJXV continued to elevate Smith’s experience and teamwork with Hatfield and Michael Jordan. In 2000, Smith “took a break” from Nike to return to his family and West Coast beach roots in Southern California. “VP Design at Vans, that’s where I earned, in effect, a Masters of Business degree in a year and a day.” Returning to Portland in 2002, Smith rejoined Nike and slotted naturally into the Innovation Kitchen, Nike’s newly formed technical and creative ‘black-ops think tank’.

  • A Predictive Analysis on the Sneaker Resale Market
    The “Right” Price for Collectible Sneakers: A Predictive Analysis on the Sneaker Resale Market Roger Wu Advisor: Professor Eric Auerbach Northwestern University: Department of Mathematical Methods in the Social Sciences* June 5, 2020 *I would like to thank Professor Eric Auerbach, Professor Joseph Ferrie, and Nicole Ozminkowski for advising me throughout this process. Your suggestions, comments, and motivation were significant. I wouldn’t have been able to finish this project without your help. Abstract The market of collectible sneakers has grown dramatically with the digitalization of American society. Sneakers that are designed by world-famous celebrities and limited in quantity are highly sought after by fervid collectors, thus have become investment opportunities for many individuals. This paper examines the sneaker resale market based on data available on StockX, one of the biggest sneaker reselling platforms, and aims to identify models that predict the rational reselling price for collectible sneakers from an investor’s perspective. The predictive models are created based on multivariate hedonic regressions that establish a relationship between various characteristics of a pair of sneakers, such as the retail price, the brand, and the release time, and the average resale price. Various models are created to capture different perspectives on the sneaker resale market, and are put into real-life tests to evaluate their respective predictive power. The results are eye-opening, as models that incorporate a more quantitative view of the sneaker resell market and capture a large amount of variation in the average resale price are almost as predictive as models that are more qualitative from an investor’s point of view.

  • Alex Ovechkin Boosts Bauer Brand in Russian Play - the Globe and Mail 2015-12-16 5:28 PM
    Alex Ovechkin boosts Bauer brand in Russian play - The Globe and Mail 2015-12-16 5:28 PM Alex Ovechkin boosts Bauer brand in Russian play Alexander Ovechkin is a goal-scoring machine, having led the National Hockey League three times in the past six seasons. But the Russian superstar found himself in a slump in 2010— enough of a dry spell, in fact, that he resorted to extreme measures. Frustrated with the CCM sticks he’d been using as part of a multimillion-dollar endorsement deal, Ovechkin began experimenting with other manufacturers. In the high-priced world of sports endorsements, where athlete and brand are contractually wedded, it was as close to infidelity as you can get. To avoid the possibility of legal problems, Ovechkin covered the rival companies’ sticks in black spray paint to obscure their logos. For Ovechkin, it was an act of desperation. For CCM, which is owned by Reebok, a subsidiary of Adidas AG, it was a branding nightmare. But for another company, it was a golden opportunity. And the timing couldn’t have been better. Bauer Performance Sports—CCM’s long-time rival in hockey equipment—was laying the groundwork for a major push into Russia and Eastern Europe. The imminent Sochi Olympics would be the perfect spotlight: Hockey, after all, is a Winter Olympics glamour sport. All Bauer needed was a spokesman for its Russian invasion. Ovechkin, a celebrity in Moscow, would do nicely. When the two sides sat down to discuss an endorsement in the summer of 2011, the talks culminated in a six-year deal for untold millions (Bauer won’t discuss financial terms).
