Yes! I remember trying like hell to get 3's and 4's. Now I can go to a Nike outlet and find them.
Why do we stay with Russell Athletic?

Yeah. It was cut off the nose to spite the face move by Jordan Brand to kill the resale game. Instead mass releasing 200k shoes that would sellout within hours now it's over 500k shoes and releasing them EVERY WEEK @ $190.

Lol that's what I'm saying. Ross and TJ Maxx is where I find so many good shoes for size 15

Was also reading that adidas now has more market share than the jump man; moved to #2 in sales:

Man those yeezys are soooooooo ugly. I still wish Nike would've wanted us more than they did. God those are ugly.

That is a good looking shoe. What in the world do you see wrong with it?

Most comfortable shoe I have ever owned are the Yeezys. Then any ultra boost.

Will the Adidas scandal affect us in any way?
Umm thank you Russell for being so awful! We're probably the only program in the country that isn't nervous af right now.

We finally have an answer to why we stayed with Russell. #WeCleanBrah

Always wanted to weigh in on this aspect of apparel deals, but bit my tongue. There were plenty of legit reasons to not like Russell and be waiting on a new deal. But all of the constant "it hurts us in recruiting" made me throw up a little because of the reality of recruiting. This activity is deep, pervasive, and decisive in the recruitment of all 5 and most 4 star players (per Yahoo investigative report).
Similarly, I never cared about star ratings or being a fan of teams composed of 3 star athletes. To me those star rankings just tell us the market rate for procuring a recruit's commitment. Our teams of three stars, therefore, were pretty legit and clean and actually wanted to be at Tech. Easy to root for and makes every victory that much sweeter.

No, our current staff is clean and goes by the book. Plus this has been under investigation for a while now. Way before this staff was hired. If anything, it might show that we lost a recruit to another school due to illegal activity by the other school.

I couldn’t agree more with this sentiment. I have always loved watching the blue collar aspect of bulging a team around hard work and discipline. I’d obviously rather have a team that’s stocked with rockstars as opposed to chumps but find pride in being scrappy.

Maybe TStan should get back on the phone with Russell
Donovan Mitchell come on down....
And bring Anas with you.
