WOW I Sure hope this is a joke.
damn shame. with all the kidd retros, the switch probably caught nike off guard. must be for the money. who cares.. kidds got 2-3 more yrs tops left in the tank.
the mans going global.Good move...
Screw him, if he wants to leave, we'll stick to the lebrons, kobes, and soon the durants.
what the F?
dumb...dumb...dumb!!!! he has two more years left tops..loved the zoom brave..now i am really ticked drose did not go nike!!! damn!
like the song goes? DO YA THANG MAN, DO YA THANG!!! I aint mad at J-Kidd for him wanting to do something different? I just hope the design's are tight like NIKE... I'm just sayin???
the sketches in the pic, look's like the Jordan Brand CP3's???
I hope Peak can make orthopedic shoes for Kidd's old feet. This guy is already semi-retired. I doubt Nike really cares since they had Kidd in his prime. Plus, Nike can still re-issue his old shoes.
Funny, the name "Peak" doesn't quite go with where Jason is with his career...
bad move j kidd nike gave u som of da sikkest shoes eva
Business move? Probably, China has over a billion people and basketball is growing in popularity there. I'm sure they are paying him damn good money for him to leave Nike.
Look at the face on Jason Kidd, his like what the hell did I get into.
