Arenas: it was a mistake for Nike to give up Owen. The kids loved his shoes.

Today, former NBA star Gilbert Arenas said he was surprised by Nike’s decision to give up Owen.
Arenas said: “I am really surprised, from my personal experience, when it comes to business, as long as the bottom line is not reached, what the players say is not particularly important.” As far as Owen is concerned, most of the people who buy his shoes are children, and middle-aged people generally don’t buy them. As a result, the sales of his original shoes will not be replaced by signed shoes from other stars, because most children will choose Owen’s shoes. ”
Arenas then added, “so imagine telling your child when you go to the shoe store at Christmas that I can’t buy you Owen eight-generation boots. How will your child react? he will come home crying. Even if you say you can buy AJ or LeBron shoes, your child will not agree, because children and adults have different tastes.”
Arenas said his children loved Owen’s shoes. “just like my son, he only wore Owen’s shoes. He couldn’t understand why Nike gave up Owen. When he knew he wouldn’t sell Owen eight generations, he said I could only buy a few more pairs now.”
