Bloody hell. When I was a kid it was all Top Dog and Stylo Matchmakers.

Did you see my "Etc." at the end of my 2nd sentence?

That "Etc." includes all other brands like Inter, Dunlop, Patrick, Arrow, and adidas 4 stripe from Tesco

 

I also remember when some kiddie started wearing diadora in primary school for the first time.
I thought wtf are they? strange logo an all.
Little did I know they were some exotic italian trabs that were gonna be the must haves that year hahahhahah

Now no one buys diadora!

I did. 

I was more highlighting my age and the stuff around at the time. It seems so long ago now and I wonder if many on here will have even heard of Top Dog and Stylo Matchmakers.

Does anyone remember those white Alan Ball boots you could buy back then? I think even Reds bought them for their novelty value. 

[Pensby]

I prefer to remember Stevie Heighway in his Stylo's

Didn't they have a set of circular studs? Still 2 studs at the heel end but instead of the four sole studs a set of spinning studs.  Supposedly to help a player turn more quickly. Revolutionary at the time     See what I done there?

Be interesting to see how much the club think they'll make from this deal.

If say shirts are on average £65 including 20%VAT or other country tax and they expect to sell 2.9 million and we get 20% of net sales - so we'd get 20% of £52 per shirt? Which would mean around £30m.

And I assume the deal was £30m plus 20%? Which would mean £60m + 20% of all other merchandise too. Could be looking at around £65m in first year? Would that be a reasonable guess?

Nothing against you here - but we had 4-5 pages straight of the cry-sterlings banging on about this being an impossible deal - I hope this doesn't happen again.

(your analysis seems ok - but I think we will only learn the detail nearer to deal announcement time - if even then. it's supposed to be a shorter deal as well - 5 years so we aren't locked in if things go really well/vice versa)

It was said in court the deal is worth £75m a year and NB did not dispute this. That is probably a conservative estimate. If the distribution element really works and we are successful on the pitch, we could make far more than that.

[dudleyred]

Heard Nike today are moving away from selling on Amazon and using their own distribution channels

[RainbowFlick]

Nike will be missing a trick if they don’t release some LFC 110s. Juventus have had some in the past.

I think £75m+ is a package with conditions which was why NB has a foot to stand on to argue their deal was better.

You are right, if our on-field success is sustained, this deal could potentially be larger than the £75m quoted and we don't seem like we are dropping out of CL any time in the next few years.

Nike channel is always going to be better because there is always a Nike Town is every major city in comparison with NB (whose running shoes I quite like). In addition, Nike also has better shelf space with re-sellers so all in all, their reach is a lot wider than NB.

Well done to our commercial team. Could only see one way for us - UP.

[Lush is the best medicine...]

they have done some of the epic react I think for some of their other teams (barca, chelsea) so there will probably be some of their shoes, but yeah the 110s would be a good one

[CraigDS]

There will be some Liverpool converse if the court case was anything to go by.

Give me some Liverpool themed Air Max 93s and 95s and they can have all my money

They’re normally like £90+ these days mate so you may need to find some more on top mate.

But 110s look shite. Too many colours and look like the shoe has been dipped in different tins of paint.

Would be better if they released Air Max BW in LFC colours.

110s are chav central. BWs are classier - bit like are club.

You can get 1 colour 110s though, and they aren't chav, they are a staple of the scouse rig

That is stunning. Shame Nike won't give us stuff like that. As amateurish as NB are, their designs are consistently brilliant

A bit like our club are what?

They get the design. But they'll only be about 14 available.

PSG’s next season. It could be the design we get if they aren’t using this years with the deal being so late.

Seems like it's a 50th Anniversary throwback design, so I doubt they'd reuse the entire design (it's not a very Liverpool design anyway, even for an away/third kit). We might see certain elements though such as the collar or the arm trimmings, which is maybe what you meant anyway.

[Jon2lfc]

And every other major UK city.
You see loads in Brum and Landan, not to mention Manchester etc.
Not really a scouse thing.

I think even MC Grindah rocks them

Obviously not the thick stripe down the middle but they will use the cut and that collar and cuffs on loads of teams. The ‘throwback’ is nothing but a slogan it nothing like their original.

Loads of regular younger lads wear 110s (and Epic Reacts too in fairness). Would be a nice twist as we see a lot less Adidas now. 110s are not a "chav" shoe. What a weird thing to say.

That's what he meant, you'll see those collar and arm trimmings on other kits.

110 aren't chav central either, they're a popular shoe in various different parts of the world.

We'll agree to disagree on this one 

They're definitely not one of the better-looking offerings from Nike.

[Jon2lfc]

If Nike release some LFC trainers, wouldn't mind seeing somat like this..

[Son of Spion]

I'm not into Nike stuff so didn't know what the name of those trainers were but I see them on pretty much every street-corner urban terrorist in the city.

I'd hate to see an LFC version of those things. 

EDIT: Those red Air Jordan are nice though.
