Nike midnight launch roll call

Submitted by Wolverine Devotee on

The day is finally here.

We've waited 391 days since the official Nike announcement was made. 

Desmond Howard, Chris Floyd, Jimmy King & LaMarr Woodley will all be there tonight along with the MMB, the cheer and dance teams to usher in the new era.

I am Central too and I thought that too at first, but it is more likely that the mden countdown is just not adjusted to the computer time zone. Wouldn't make sense for the website to open up at midnight eastern if you are eastern, but hold out those in other time zones until midnight local.

Take a picture for us.

I'm still rocking my Nike gear from 10 years ago.  Can't wait to get back in the game.

I was bringing up the MGoMobile app and was thinking, "what are the chances WD has us a thread about Jordan/Nike today?" Thanks for not disappointing. I mean that sincerely. I'll be with you in spirit at the event, and I'll be at my computer at the specified time to aim the money cannon at MDen. Enjoy the day!

I assume that the new Nike "stuff"  is not being sold as a limited edition.

Having said that, what I've seen looks way better than what we've had offered since Adidas came on board.

Not sure if this is new news, but there was an article today about the Nike contract, specifically the exact royalties. The AD will be getting a decent chunk of these sales:

According to its contract with Nike, U-M is paid 15 percent net sales royalties by Nike on all licensed products other than footwear. U-M receives 5 percent of net sales royalties on footwear products.

Knock yourself out, I know you're pumped up about this. I'll get a good night's sleep, get up for work in the morning and buy some Nike gear when it's convenient in the future.

Somebody sell me on why I should attend this event. Full disclosure, I am going. I am just not entirely sure why, other than to buy some clothes I can buy any day hereafter and to possibly get a glimpse of some key M luminaries. I am going with a friend who has been annoying me about going and I finally caved and agreed, assuming this is some sort of happening and as such, something cool will take place that I can look back on and say "that was a good time."

I didn't mean you specifically. I kid. Anyways I tried to outline my concern after I disclosed that I was going. I guess I could always change my mind if nobody comes with anything worthwhile.
