today at an Nike Outlet I saw some SB Nikes I ve never seen here, they were called Nike SB Ghost :
they look a bit like Project BA.
i guess these are the pricepoint BA's?
koston = rabona
janoski = satire
BA = Ghost?
Or for them to get no royalties.
No. Nike knows that the names Janoski and Koston have brand equity and those who are setting out to purchase a Janoski shoe are not going to be tempted away by a slightly cheaper, similar shoe called the 'satire'. Same thing with that other Team Edition. They know they're paying royalties, or else they wouldn't release all sorts of Janoski variants (Janoski mid, Janoski SE, Janoski Lunar, Janoski Premium...etc) . They just saw a slim shoe that sold well and tried to capitalize on that demand buy moving a non-name shoe. You're regular if you think Nike releases one "royalty killer" shoe, but also releases 4-12 different variants of a named, royalty based shoe. Fuck, tate.
