Chapter 165 Ji Feng's Boots! Crazy Generation!
The news of Ji Feng's record-breaking contract extension with UA unexpectedly attracted widespread attention, but the general news media said it was not surprising.
"It's a bit exaggerated, but I can understand UA's decision. When the NBA's outstanding forward players are basically dominated by Adidas and Nike, if you want to get in, you have to do crazy things. You can't find it. A better candidate than Ji Feng, that guy's performance, coupled with his handsome appearance and his domineering but elegant way of playing, can basically declare that this guy's sneakers will sell well, not to mention even I have to admit, Ji This guy Feng has a unique charm."
US Sports Weekly basketball column reporter Tom said in the column.
Other media have similar views, and of course there is no shortage of extreme media that think UA has done a stupid business.
And NBA stars, of course, will not be let go by the media. This is a good time to make news.
"No, I'm not surprised, that guy has this potential." Kobe would be harassed by the media as a Laker old man. Many reporters wanted to provoke the relationship between Ji Feng and Kobe, but how could Kobe be fooled, not to mention that he has long been Received a text message from Ji Feng.
When Kobe received Ji Feng's text message at noon, he was startled and thought he was playing a prank, but he didn't expect it to be true, but Kobe was not surprised. He had long known that Ji Feng would become a favorite sooner or later.
As the only previous record holder, James certainly couldn't escape the reporter's questioning, but how could James be fooled after being in the league for so long.
"Ji Feng is a great guy, and he plays with passion. As for signing a contract, that's not something I need to consider. I look forward to playing against him, but on the court, I won't keep my hands." James is so tough and strong A decent answer to the reporter's question.
But as a super rookie who just signed with Nike this season, Durant, who is still at the top of the rookie list, is very upset. He first complained about this on Twitter, and even more directly when interviewing reporters. Let it go, he will definitely blow up Ji Feng in the matchup!
"Of course, I haven't heard much about the brand UA, but they are so crazy, man, you have to admit, Ji Feng is not worth the price, I will blow him up with practical actions, right at our home court!" Durant Directly to the media: "Come on buddy, let's fight like a man!"
Durant's remarks directly changed the subsequent game between the Lakers and the Seattle SuperSonics from a bladder game with no suspense to a focused battle.
In China, Ji Feng sent the news directly to Shen Yang after signing the contract, so Shen Yang's sister sent the news back to China with her hands shaking with excitement.
"90 million US dollars, my God..." Shen Yang's heart was still pounding after pressing the send button. It is now 2007, the US dollar exchange rate is still above 7, and the capital has not exploded. Ji Feng's signing fee has reached 7 Years, more than 630 million yuan, which is simply terrible.
In the middle of the night, Tencent directly made Ji Feng's renewal of the UA contract as the front page of the day. In the middle of the night, Tencent's editor-in-chief wrote a press release himself with red eyes.
"Jifeng renews his contract with Under Armour for $90 million! Ji Feng's first-generation signature sneakers are coming soon! ” This news exploded many immortal cultivators in the early morning.
The forum just exploded!
Ji Feng, I want to give birth to a monkey for you: "Ji-Diamond King Lao Wu-Feng has appeared, the boss asks for support!"
Keshen Niubi: "Liang blinded my dog's eyes, and jealousy at night made me fall asleep unintentionally."
James is mine: "Genius is not scary, what is scary is that genius's family is richer than you, and he can make money himself."
Reba also saw this news, and rubbed his eyes at that time to see if he had read it wrong!
"Oh my God..." Reba was very excited after confirming that he had read it right, and the original sleepiness disappeared!
"I want a pair of your signature shoes! I want the first pair!" Hotba sent a text message to Ji Feng, and since that was the case, then she wanted the most memorable gift!
...
However, Ji Feng has no time to pay attention to the disturbances of the outside world. He is now communicating with Robbie Fulle, a sneaker designer invited by UA. As a former Nike designer, he was recruited by UA to design Ji Feng's sneakers this time, which shows UA's ambitions for Ji Feng's sneakers this time.
Originally, Ji Feng thought that he would have to wait for a while before a designer came, but UA was obviously more anxious than himself.
Robbie Fulle carefully measured the data of Ji Feng's feet. As a relatively young sneaker designer, Robbie Fulle has a more aggressive style and prefers to apply the latest technology to sneakers. He likes to think about sneaker design issues from a new perspective, and strive to Break the design limitations and patterns of current sneakers.
"Perfect!" Robbie Fulle personally measured all the data of Ji Feng's feet and recorded it. Although he didn't have to do it himself, he agreed that in order to design the best sneakers, it must be measured by himself. Only in this way can you have the most intuitive understanding of the person wearing the shoes.
Ji Feng is very satisfied with his words, it seems that the designer is very reliable.
"Mr. Ji Feng, do you have any requirements for our design, materials, air cushion, protection?" Robbie Fulle nodded with satisfaction at the data. As a sneaker designer, he has seen countless pairs of players' feet, but Ji The peak's foot is the most perfect one he has ever seen, which makes his design enthusiasm extremely high.
"Of course, I think I want a lighter material. After all, I'm an outsider, and the sole must have a strong grip. Of course, air cushion is needed. I think the mid-top shoes are more suitable for me, so that I can complete the various positions. The breakthrough can also have a certain protective effect on my ankle." Ji Feng said his thoughts to Robbie Fulle.
Robbie Fulle held a piece of paper, Ji Feng said while he was drawing, after Ji Feng finished speaking, a prototype of a sneaker sketch appeared on the paper.
"It's awesome... Are all the designers so obsessed?" Ji Feng sighed when he looked at the very detailed sneakers in this painting.
"It's just the basic skills." Robbie Fulle didn't care. The designer would draw it first. Although there is a computer now, the first draft must be drawn by himself.
"Strong!" Ji Feng looked at the sketch, which seemed to suit his own needs and aesthetics.
Then the designer drew the signature position and the LOGO position of the sneakers, and then discussed several color schemes. The prototype of Ji Feng's sneakers was completed.
Ji Feng looked at the time. It was two o'clock in the afternoon, just in time for him to train.
"Ji Feng, we are planning to make a series of your shoes. Do you have any idea about the name?" Kevin Plank asked when he saw that the basic work had been done.
"What about the Kuangfeng generation!" Ji Feng thought about it and said. It also fits his nickname.
"Nice name, I believe this is definitely a crazy sneaker." Kevin Plank said, as long as Ji Feng's performance continues to rise, this sneaker will become a new starting point for UA.
"Mr. Robbie Fulle, can I make two pairs of sneaker samples first, one pair I want pink and black! The other pair, purple and gold! Add something on top!" Ji Feng thought about it and said to Robbie Fulle.
"No problem at all."
