ako i love the nikefootball line i have some shorts,manchester united na jersey,manunited na cap,manunited na tempo backpack,nike total 90 III na firmground

 

latest buy ko is the merqurious na ball akala ko nga may butas,ganon pala technology nagrerelease ng air para hindi ata mag chapp yung leather ng bola,pricier than the total 90 line but its more artsy thant the rest gold and white pa nga kulay.. i think it for added touch of calss? <_< kaya mas mahal!! :thumbsdownsmiley:

60% mark-up is a very far conservative estimate. look at the cost to actually produce the shoe. it's made of plastic and/or plastic derivatives and foam - products that are cheap. add to that cheap slave labor in china, mass production efficiency and technology and what have you got???? With 60% mark-ups I don't think that they are able to have greedy profits and at the same time pay million dollar endorsement deals to the sprots people.

 

A friend of mine in high places said that the actual cost to produce the shoe is roughly 200 pesos. come to think of it, the fakes from china are being sold at least for 600 pesos and nike's manufacturing base is in china.......

Do you know what kind of shoe model your friend was refering too?

 

Yeah, pati nga yung Class A sa Greenhills eh overpriced. :thumbsdownsmiley:

I too am a confessed Nike addict. From their shoes, apparel and from the way they market their products. Can anyone even forget that Nike freestyle basketball hoop commercial? Classic! Even the Nike football freestyle is awesome.

 

Yep, the cost to actually make the shoe is dirt cheap. The expensive part is product design, research & development, and that's where the mark-up comes in. And also from the marketing side of things. How else can Nike pay stars like LBJ if they can't earn enough profit from their shoes.

 

Be that as it may, I still love their products

Yup, that's just it!

Nike is indeed an expensive brand.

 

Just bought a pair of air max 360 ( 2nd batch released in the Phils) yesterday.

 

Months ago , I was also able to get a pair of those w/c were included in the first release.

 

Now I have 2 pairs of air max 360's 2006 edition.

 

Medyo mahal pero sulit naman sa kin. I jog everyday and sulit talaga comfort and quality of these footwear.

 

I also got myself a pair adidas A3 Gigaride. Mas maganda pa rin talaga air max in terms of comfort and quality.

Andaming nagkalat na fakes ngayon. Specially sa Greenhills. Unfair for those who buy the original products.

 

Gumagawa pa ng justification yung nagbebenta ng fake kesyo Class A , overrun , etc.

 

There's no such thing as Original tapos classifed as Class A , etc.

 

Kapag sinabing Class A or export overrun , those are FAKES.

 

Original Nike products can be found in department stores and authorized outlets such as Stadium , Forum , etc.

Ironically, those Class A are also made by the same Manufacturers of Nike based in China.

 

Those are the damaged quantities, because Nike does have a Strict Quality Control management. Eh, sayang naman ang ginamit na Raw materials para gawin yung kahit na may konting damage o production error. Kaya benta na lang nila in a cheap price. Pero pansin ko, kahit cheap price na eh overpriced pa rin.

Actually , it's the Marketing / Propaganda expenditure that dictates the market value of a particular product.

 

We could attribute Nike's success to the people behind its excellent Marketing capability.

 

Nike revolutionize the whole sports industry.

 

They're the ones who started those glamorous promotional campaigns w/c utilizes superstar athletes.

 

Nike did glamorize the sports industry.

 

And of course , Nike started the trend on fancy shoes inspired by athletes

 

Reminds us of the Nike Air Fame c/o Michael Jordan.

.. at ang daming colorways na pwedeng pagpilian.. especially on the Jordan brand..

 

I have bought three Nike fakes already circa 2002 (nung nag-boom ang so-called Class A Nike shoes).. karamihan Nike Shox.. and I tried using one for my basketball activity.. Ayayay! Ang pangit ng cushioning.. naduduals paa ko sa loob and ang awkward ng feeling if you are used to the originals.. So, I stopped buying Nike fakes since then.. Pinamigay ko ang mga fakes ko sa driver namin at wala pang 3 months wasak ang mga ito because of the wear and tear.. pinang-araw-araw kasi sa mga lakad namin..

 

I shared my story for you guys to stop patronizing the Nike fakes.. Pangit ang quality, mga dudes.. Mga ilang gamitan lang.. kahit sa panlakad-lakad lang sa malls.. mawawasak yan.. Pandisplay sa bahay pwede.. Kapag may bisita ka at gusto mo ipagmayabang ang koleksyon mo.. Kaso if you are planning to have a long term use for it.. ikaw ay magsisisi lamang.. Just my two cents.. :mtc:
