Steph Curry Projected To Sell More Shoes Than LeBron, More Than KD, Kyrie, And Kobe Combined
4:21 PM
Steph Curry is the king of basketball right now and his Golden State
Warriors continue to dismantle their biggest competitors game after
game. It’s sickening to think that he’s actually improved upon his MVP
campaign a year ago, and there’s no question that a unanimous MVP voting
is in the near future. But the basketball court isn’t the only realm
being dominated by Steph – he’s actually crushing Nike’s big four
signature gang to a pulp. Morgan Stanley projects $160 million in
footwear sales in the U.S. for Steph, which is $10 million more than
what’s being project for LeBron James, and more than what’s being
expected from Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and Kobe Bryant combined. The
only man Curry is trailing in the shoe-selling business is Michael
Jordan.
But get this – it’s not just the dollar amounts that matter here, but
the volume. Curry’s signature shoes retail for $130, whereas LeBron’s
retail at $200. That means that there are potentially up to double the
amount of Currys on feet than there are LeBrons. The primary demographic
of basketball shoe buyers are the youth/teen/young adult category and
$200 is a tough pill to swallow, especially compared to the $130 Curry
Two. Check out the full breakdown of projected signature shoe sales in
the U.S. for 2016 below and let us know what you’d like to see from Nike
Basketball in the near future as a means to take on the growing Steph
Curry brand.
