QingJiHui with Nike cooperation launched a public funding projects "love beyond"

Nike do anything before you consider our strengths, because we uphold the do anything, especially in corporate responsibility, particularly in such large-scale action, relying solely on one side, nike air max business or government, or NGO, are either do not do.

We each party to play to their strengths and play to their own resources to be able to reach everyone wants to achieve results. Speaking of Nike, a lot of people say it is sports, but when it comes to sports, a lot of people think Kobe is a big star, and Manchester United, Barcelona, and so such a big club, you said these are just a Nike sports competition advocacy, the But the real Nike, in particular our corporate responsibility, we in the advocacy and implementation of physical education in the people, especially disadvantaged youth development, sport can also can not be ignored.

Explore Nike product innovation nine motivity

Nike's headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon City, the headquarters building is a named Mia? Graham (MiaHamm) architecture, Nike product innovation incubator - the "Innovation Kitchen" is located on the building of a layer. The real achievements of millions of dollars in the value of the Nike brand sports shoes Nike is in the kitchen, one interpretation of the Discount Nike Shoes legendary story. For the majority of visitors, and even the staff of most Nike Innovation Kitchen is a mysterious virgin. Because the design studio was filled with thousands of new athletic shoes, sports clothing design sketches Nike in the sports market is the one to lose ground weapon.

Although Nike is known for the spirit of rebellion, but it does not turn a blind eye to all the academic theory, ignored. Management guru Tom? Peters sonorous words: "do what you do best, outsource the rest" but was regarded as the golden rule of Nike, has been pursuing ever since. As we all know, Nike used "dumbbell" corporate structure, dumbbell at one end is the product research and innovation, the other side is the brand of integrated marketing, slender middle part is the product of manufacturing. This structure in China, dubbed the beauty of the devil figure.

When the U.S. business community to Peter Drucker (PeterF.Drucker) s will summarize the innovation, Professor painstaking homage to the law of the time, Nike seems to have assumed a dismissive look indifferent. Professor Drucker's most innovative, successful innovation in particular, are conscious, purposeful search for innovation opportunities, results, and opportunities exist only in the few cases. In a company or an industry there are four kinds of internal innovation opportunities: First, unexpected things, the second is inconsistency, that process needs three, four is the industry and market changes. In addition, the external business and intellectual and social fields, there are still 3 other innovative opportunities: First, demographic change, the second is the concept of change and the third is new knowledge.

When the Boston University School of Management Professor, Professor, Everett.Lord prominent academics, and competitive strategy at Harvard University, Senior Fellow, Anita? Mai Jiaen track proposed changes with the moving industry, the Nike is scoffed. Because as the world's dominant sporting goods Nike, it is the trajectory of the industry's chief painter of well-deserved. Mai Jiaen Nike in terms of the theory of Professor little significance.

Despite the innovation of Professor Drucker rules more or less product innovation in the Nike found similar trajectory, but Nike seems as Professor Drucker discusses innovation in Discount nike air max law proud of it " Innovation Kitchen "(InnovationKitchen) Design Studio, understatement and brooding, which in the posture that is only in the summary of Professor Drucker's innovative Nike law only.

The greater impact of Nike "center of gravity down"

Early May of this year, Adidas announced first quarter results, showing greater China sales fell 15%. This means that, on the one hand, originally known international brands for these first-line market has gradually become saturated; the other hand, they must be adjusted as soon as possible sales channels and product portfolio to a lower nike air max 24-7 consumption level reached the second and third tier cities, where instead of waiting for the natural increase in consumer spending.

UBS had before the second and third tier cities in mainland China, the price of footwear products conducted research and found that 170 to 250 range of footwear products, both to protect the company profits, but also make the local consumer acceptance, is the footwear the "perfect price" range. And when to spend 50 yuan for consumers will be able to buy Nike shoes, when domestic brands will go from here? Of course, due to the positioning of each brand and price are different, can not be generalized, Nike price, the specific impact of which will be bigger brand?

It seems some people in the industry, if Nike decided to lower the price of products sold in China, the average selling price is high, such as Li Ning and other domestic brands will bear the brunt of the short term are the most affected, because the second and third tier cities, some consumers may "switch" Nike.

It is worth noting that over the past few years, Li Ning is constantly raised the price, and now the average price of its footwear products are 300 yuan. A recent order will be displayed, Li Ning in 2010, three quarters of the price and footwear orders rose 11%. In addition, trends in the hands of the Chinese brand shoes KAPPA average of 370 yuan.

UBS Securities researcher Liangyu Chang said, "Nike cheap shoes on the expected impact of these brands the most obvious." He believes that when the domestic sports brand's marketing budget will be to determine the impact of this wave in their ability to hold on to an important factor. Some companies with limited marketing resources, is likely to be eliminated in this encounter.

However, Nike also has to enter the secondary and tertiary markets its own restrictions factors. Some domestic brand dealers, said, "is currently Deputy Anta, Li Ning and other brands of profit higher than the general agent of Nike to about 5 percentage points. For most small and medium-scale dealers, the same input, they would rather Agents more profitable domestic brands. "

Nike currently a distributor such as Belle, and do not necessarily have the market penetration to the second and third grade experience and strength.

It appears that Nike wants into China's secondary and tertiary markets, with the long-term need to take "second and third tier" of Anta, Pick grab the market, you need to do more than simple product launch.

Some industry vendors are also pointed out that if Nike can successfully penetrate the second and third tier cities, part of the brand image of domestic brands in general may be out of the market. In addition, the annual marketing budget of 3.5 billion -5 billion of medium and small brands in the country is unlikely with Nike, Li Ning, the nike air max 2010 companies compete. Despite the short term may hit hard, with a substantial marketing budget should be able to withstand the domestic brands, "reached the" low-end market, Nike.

youth market of nike

Nike hired "notorious" commercials Barkley, Charles Barkley in basketball circles, "Boxer" nickname, act violently fighting hard, hot temper, often outrageous act. Nike did not hide to cover them, it created a TV commercial film, the protagonist is Kongwu vicious Buckley, beat opponents in the game, pulling rotten boards ... ... sports fans to see the film will have the same feeling: a Buck Altruism is the case. So between Nike air max 24-7 and consumers have good communication, this communication time and again resonate with consumers to strengthen continuously, 'and eventually become the Nike and its brand loyal customers who "partner" and "confidant" and even each other one, without distinction, while the rapid rise of the Nike brand, center stage, naturally makes sense.

Nike ads in the female market is imaginative, endless charm. Nike Reebok late into the female than the market, partly because of Nike Air technology revolution that its advertising theme for the men, and if at the time, in turn attract women, then men's market is bound to undermine the growth momentum. Nike has been corrected in time management was in California for some of the promotions, the company that the activities go beyond the company's intent. Company managers do not want to harm themselves as a technologically advanced, the courage to create the first of the sporting goods company's good reputation and become a feminine fashion products company.

When the Nike men in the youth market and a firm foothold on the market after the female market instead focused on attacking firepower. Creative program planner, Ms. Janet, and Charlotte used two methods to self-understanding of the situation and the inner world of women, to women and women of the "dialogue" as the primary means of communication. Advertising works with contrasting black and white images, the background is highlighted above the intertwined with one word "no", ad text, full of affection, meaningful, but filled with a soft tone, touching care and hope:

In your life, some people always think you can not do this or can not do that. In your life, someone always says you're not good enough is not robust enough talent, not their height and weight you not said physical not and will not make a difference. They always say you can not, your life, thousands of times they will quickly and firmly say you can not, unless you prove your line.

Advertising is available on the women's favorite lifestyle magazine. Unlike the ad text is a sporting goods sales demands, more like a female heart confession, advertising reflects the true character of Nike ads: communication, rather than stimulation. This hugely successful ad, ads published, the company switchboard room phone ringing constantly, and many customers call to talk to women, said: "Nike ad changed my life ... ..." "I only buy from now on resistance grams, because you understand me. "These results are also reflected in sales performance, sales growth in the Nike women quickly put the male market. 80 women in the market late Reebok Nike weaker than the situation fundamentally changed. The results show that, in this market, the reference rate of the Nike brand and reputation over Reebok.

Nike in just two or three decades, a small shoe by a simple dominant company's growth for the industry, from the little-known today renowned the world over (well-known in the United States almost 100%), Nike marketing attributed to the hardwork spread.

Whether the pro-environment materials will lead to increased costs

However, choice of materials, there are many problems, for example, use a cotton (24490, -1095.00, -4.28%) or polyester is more environmentally friendly?

The choice of raw materials, leather raw materials is no substitute for shoe-making business, Jeffrey Swartz bluntly, this part of the "not good enough." Such as his feet wearing a pair of Nike EK2.0, he said, Nike shoes leather is already the highest standards, and produced in China, but still not environmentally friendly.

Nike is the LWG (Leather Working Group) a member of this organization as well as Clarks, New Balance, Nike and other brands. Jeffrey Swartz told reporters: Nike's leather suppliers require all accepted by the LWG of third-party testing. The assessment results will directly affect their choice of suppliers.

Meanwhile, the signing of any manufacturer of Nike, they will measure their carbon emissions in order to urge them to reduce their own energy use.

To coordinate the whole industrial chain, Nike, said third-party associations helpful in this regard. Such as the outdoor sports industry (OIA) Eco Working Group responsible for the environment in the industrial chain coordinate to solve the problem.

Meanwhile, Nike, and also the ecological environment of the Working Group OIA exchange information to better understand the environmental performance of supply chain intermediaries index. They can also systematically track the supplier in the climate, chemicals and environmental impacts of waste products.

Of course, in conjunction with other brands is also the industry is currently seeking problem-solving methods.

"I do not like Nike, Adidas group of people sit down together and come to the meeting", Jeffrey Swartz said with a smile: "I think they do not like Nike, however, we must promote the solution of this problem, because the environment will directly affect our business. "

Purpose is still the market

"You're probably wondering why the CEO had started suddenly care about the environment?" Jeffrey Swartz, said: "It's simple, Nike sells outdoor products, not the mountains and forests, my business there will be no."

Jeffrey Swartz told reporters: "and Nike, and many other brand competition, we want to give consumers a more reasonable air max shoes choice. So that consumers know what the factory, they should know whether the use of environmentally friendly materials manufacturer, is using the new energy, each How many days and consumption of raw materials. "

"I can honestly tell you: most important to every CEO or business profits, but not a CEO will ignore the demands of consumers," Jeffrey Swartz told reporters: "Profit or the environment? Lies in the hands of consumers."

In the past, China has always been an important production base for Nike, the official website of publicly available data, a large number of footwear and clothing produced in South China.

To have had the "pollution transfer" of the suspect, Jeffrey Swartz told reporters: "This past, American companies came to China, the transfer of pollution to here. But those air max shoes days are gone, and in China, environmental protection the policy has been increased to the height that you can no longer do business. "

Which had previously been publicly reported for the supplier of Shanghai rich leather Nike Co., Jeffrey Swartz, said the response "has been resolved."

Obviously, Nike on "green" emphasis, is that China is their next "big market."

Jeffrey Swartz said, we all think cotton is more environmentally friendly, because when the polyester in the manufacture of chemical compounds may be used. But cotton clothing in the entire life cycle, but it needs more air max shoes water and detergent containing harmful chemicals.

Pricing SLVR series about ordinary Adidas three times the price, and the previously mentioned Y-3 Adidas Series price is more than ten times the normal movement of products.

This is followed by the Chinese people's spending power continues to increase, now that China has already surpass the U.S. as the world's second largest consumer of luxury goods. LV, Chanel, etc. have been sinking to the second and third tier Chinese cities.

However, what this be sacrificed? This is only true to the crown to the king who - Adidas Active sports products common "sink", exactly as the SLVR series, Y-3 series high-end products such as "up" get out of the way, leaving out of the market space. Clearly, first-tier cities in the future battlefield, sporting goods, domestic sports brand's main rival will not fade aura Adidas ordinary sports products, but SLVR, Y-3.

If the SLVR series, Y-3 series is a Chinese sports brand Adidas challenges facing back, then the Reebok brand in China is that it outflank a posterior Jones. January 2010, Adidas announced the Reebok brand co-pay and the Bao Sheng International design and production, while Reebok will be the future "to China as the air max nike center." After taking over at the Pou Sheng International, Reebok brand positioning has changed dramatically, and its price has dropped to the lowest 133 yuan, highly cost-effective, no doubt poses a direct threat to domestic brands.

Nike air max shoes history

Early in 1984, Nike shoes was a struggling shoe company. The running shoe phenomenon that has fueled their sales in previous years was slowly dying and they needed a way to revitalize and reinvent themselves in order to appeal to another segment of the market. At the same time, rookie player Michael Nike was already endorsing several products, but Nike hoped that his appeal would generate sales. Nike, though, had other ideas. He had always preferred Adidas or the Converse shoes endorsed by North Carolina Coach, Dean Smith, and hoped to sign on with either company. Converse, with Larry Bird and Magic Johnson on board as spokesmen, were not interested in offering a better deal than Nike, and Adidas wasn’t interested at all at the time; perhaps due to Kathe Dassler’s death the same year. While Nike, himself, did not initially see the significance of air max nike Nike’s offer, his agent, David Falk, saw a golden opportunity in Nike’s offer to create a new line of shoes called “Air Nikes.” and urged him to give Nike a chance.

At that time, there was not a tremendous impact from a shoe endorsement, and few companies were willing to risk so much of their marketing budget to bet on one athlete to promote their products. An athlete as paid for wearing the products but little else resulted from an endorsement.It’s possible that Nike’s reluctant attitude stemmed from this fact as much as his allegiance to Converse and Adidas products.

Throughout the entire meeting Nike was reported to seem disinterested and bored, but as he and Falk left the meeting, nike air max 90 said to his agent, “Let’s make the deal.”The video presentation featured slow-motion clips of Nike’s college career and some of his high-flying Olympic moves with a background of then hit music “Jump” by the Pointer Sisters. Nike Head Designer, Peter Moore presented sketches of AJ1 shoes, jumpsuits, and sports apparel, all in black and red. Michael’s remarks upon seeing the designs were less than enthusiastic. He is reported to have said,“I can’t wear that shoe, those are Devil colors”

Nike saw something special in Michael Nike, though. They saw a chance, an opportunity. He was a champion with personality, charisma, and heart, and they were willing to put the company on the line. They knew from the beginning that he would be a star and wanted to help him get therer. Finally, after much persuasion from his manager and parents, the reluctant rookie agreed to fly to the Nike headquarters in Portland, Oregon to view a special video presentation and proposal though he later stated in retrospect that he went with no intention of signing with Nike.

With those four words, the Air Nike legacy was born. Nike signed Nike to a $2.5 million deal for 5 years, plus royalties and other fringe benefits. Peter Moore created the first AJ Logo with a basketball with wings lifting it. The introduction of the Air Nike I turned the athletic shoe industry upside down. Before the AJ I, most basketball shoes were white, but the bold black and red styling of the Nike I flouted this convention. The NBA banned the shoe from the league in response, but Nike wore them anyway, racking up serious fines of up to $5000 a game. Nike, of course, was more than happy to pay these to keep the shoes on Nike’s feet and in the public eye. All this controversy and Nike’s spectacular numbers that year served to put the Air Nike line on the road to becoming a household name.

Air Nike Shoes were a part of the Nike, Inc. family until late in 1997 Nike unveiled a new marketing plan and Nike became its own sub-brand of Nike. To mark this change, the new Nike Brand released the Air Nike XIII, Air Nike Team, and Air Nike Trainers. From this point on, Nike Brand products no longer featured the Nike name or Nike Swoosh, and their only connection to Nike,Inc is a fine print address for Nike headquarters to be used for insurance purposes.

Air Nike shoes have consistently been among the best selling basketball shoes since their creation in 1985. The Nike brand is a household name and people of all ages and social strata line up eagerly for the release of the latest model. Some of this success can be attributed to the fact that the shoes, from the Nike III to the most recent model, have always started with their namesake, Michael Nike. The designers take his ideas, hobbies, and life into account and incorporate these feelings into the shoes. A number of Nikes have been designed after Nike’s cars and some of the more recent models, like the the Nike XXI (Nike 21) on the way, some wonder when the Air Nike line will be retired while others speculate that, in honor of the man, the last Air max 24-7 will be the Nike XXIII (Nike 23). No matter what happens to the signature Air Nike line, it’s a good bet that the brand and its tradition of quality, high-fashion basketball and athletic shoes will continue long after Air Nikes have retired.

Correct indetify Nike Air Max for life insurance

It is really surprise that if you enter "Nike Air Max " and "Air Max 90" as keywords, they will appear two types of shoes. Why this happened? As a Nike fun, it is easy for you to recognize what is the difference between them. But this article just tell those who likes Nike, but afraid of owning general Dunk instead of Nike air max .

Nike air max is a series blong to Nike Dunk. But it is different from general Nike Dunks. Nike SB stands for skateboarding, the disigners first idea comes from youngers who love skatboard. Friction of general Nike shoes can not match meteral of skatboard. It is necessary for Nike to product new series to satisfied customers need.

But going to store seems a little hot in summer. In fast way, people would like to buy Nike air max online. The Nike air are available from authorized retailers for under $100 but demand has driven the prices up to more than $1,000. The demand has also created fake Nike SB Dunks, so it's important to know what the real shoes look like before you purchase a pair

Nike air max 90 unique design Zoom Air insoles, padded tongues and are made in smaller quantities for the most part giving them that smaller supply/higher demand attribute. It can strengthen centrifugal force both shoes and skatboard, ruduce the occasion of falling down. Also the difference between them is the nike dunk sb's come in alot of different rare styles and color. They are hard to find authentic for a good price. But the only place to get them 100% authentic and at a good price is at a skateboarding store. So it is important for you to find the real Nike SB Dunks.

1.Look at and feel the tongues of the Nike SB Dunks. Authentic Nike SB Dunks will have thick, curved tongues that are "V" or "U" shaped. Fake shoes have flat tongues with a square shape.

2.Remove the shoes from the box. There should be a clear plastic bag attached to the shoes. The resealable bag should hold spare laces for the Nike SB Dunks. An authentic bag measures 7.5 cm wide and is 13.5 cm high. A real Nike SB Dunk shoelace bag should have a solid black "Nike" and the swoosh, with "SB" underneath. On the fake bags, the print looks like it has been painted on. Sometimes, the printing is sketchy and poor quality.

3.Check the spare shoelaces in the bag. They should be a different color than what's in the Nike SB Dunks. Real laces are wide and flattish. Often, fake laces that come with the shoes are thin and round.

4.Examine the Nike SB Dunks box. They have come in an orange box (first and second series), a silver box with a green label (third series), a silver box with an orange label, pink box with a black label, pink box with an orange label and a black and purple box with a black label. Off-colored boxes are a sign of a Nike fake.

5.Turn the shoes over and look at the soles. Real Nike SB Dunks will have "Nike" and the registered trademark sign, as well as a "swoosh" and the trademark sign. These will be molded, raised and positioned in the middle of the shoes. If the signs are lower in height than the other markings, the Nike air max 2009 are fakes.

6.Examine the trademark Nike "swoosh" emblems on the shoes. Fake shoes have a noticeably thin or thick "swoosh." The stitching that attaches the emblem to the shoes is often not along the edges. It tends to run inwards.

7.Examine the "NIKE" embroidered on the back of the shoes. If the letters are not thick, but are rather thin, the shoes are probably fakes. Another sign of a fake is that the letters--especially the "E"--might not be properly spaced. It's often spaced further away from the other letters.


A good Nike air max shoes for skatboard is very important. Can fake Nike SB shoes ensure your safety? Can you agree pay genious money but owning a fake one? It is time to polish your eyes.

The Big Players - Nike air max

Nike shoes are among the best brands of shoes today. The quality of their products is extremely good and they have lots of different types of shoes for different sport as well as for casual wear. Nike dominated the market for a long time, they were among the first sports brands to release their products into the market and of course, were hugely successful. The Nike air max 2010 craze caught on, like wildfire. For several years, Nike was the choice of brand for sports professionals and athletes.

Nike air max shoes even became the first fashion brand, to associate itself with music, especially hip hop and their clothing line also made its mark in the fashion industry. The company started off, as a humble venture by two brothers- the Dassler brothers, in Germany. They were basically slipper makers, one day, while selling shoes for tennis players, they figured out how to design specific shoes for specific sports, by studying the kinematics involved. But a family feud, led these two brothers to split up, and Puma was born. But that̢۪s another story.

But neither of the two big companies – air max 90 or Puma recognized the potential threat of a small American company, based in Oregon, called Nike! Nike produces great shoes of good quality and is probably the biggest, most popular and best brand of sports shoes of our times. They have a great range of shoes and sneakers suited for all sports.

Probably, the only think that Nike needs to improve upon is the cost factor. Nike̢۪s shoes and sneakers are a bit more expensive than that of the other brands. They are well worth it, because of their durability and quality and their large variety, but, for many people, cost is the biggest deciding factor when it comes to making a purchase.


Nike was founded in the year 1972, and gained more popularity over Adidas because it had a wider range of colors and styles and hence a much larger variety of shoes designed to cater to people of all age groups. In the 1980s, Nike completely overthrew nike and the sales figures of nike air max 90 showed a distinctive slump, and Nike̢۪s rose. Moreover, Nike did a whole lot of things to promote its shoes, not least of which was the concept of Nike Jordan̢۪s, with the all-time basketball great, Michael Jordan as its ambassador.

Now, most athletes prefer Nike shoes, because of their great quality. But Nike air max 2009 are also not far behind in the race. Nike air max  has also begun it’s resurgence, and what a comeback they have made, so now it’s Nike vs. Nike, neck to neck!

Popovich marvels at slimmer

San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said Thursday that Duncan returned this summer for his 14th season perhaps in even better shape than a year ago,nike air max shoes when the perennial All-Star reported to training camp 15 pounds lighter."He's trim and slim. I think he's even slimmer than he was last year," Popovich said. "He's really serious about this. He knows his responsibilities. He wants to win again."


Popovich met with reporters in San Antonio for the first time since Phoenix swept the Spurs from the Western Conference semifinals in May. He'll open training camp Sept. 27 with Duncan, who turns 35 this season, leading what is a mostly unchanged Spurs roster.Wholesale Air Max 2009 San Antonio is still built to go only as far as Duncan can take them. But he'll get some long-overdue frontcourt help with the addition of 7-footer Tiago Splitter, the marquee signing for the Spurs in an otherwise quiet offseason.

"He'll come in running, so to speak, and not have a problem," Popovich said.Popovich didn't say how much lighter Duncan might have come back. But like last summer, Duncan pushed back and toned down his old preseason regiments in hopes of keeping his body fresher come spring.Duncan got off to a roaring start in the playoffs last year against Dallas though still finished the season averaging 17.9 points and 10.1 rebounds, both career lows. He has two years left on his contract.

Originally drafted by the Spurs in 2007,nike air max 90 Splitter is a former MVP and championship winner in the Spanish League. He joins the Spurs amid high expectations -- Popovich compared Splitter's NBA-readiness to Manu Ginobili's arrival in 2002.That doesn't mean Splitter will be a go-to scorer. Popovich said the Brazilian's biggest impact will instead be rebounding and defense, but those contributions should be immediate.

Ginobili, 33, is starting a new three-year extension while Tony Parker isn't signed past this season."Fantastic means have an opportunity to win a championship, wholesale air max 90 and that's what we're always looking for here," Popovich said. "There's no reason why this group can't do it, but there are also probably 10 teams in the league that feel they have that opportunity."

Pressured, Nike air max to Help Workers in Honduras

“Nike plays a key role in setting up the worldwide apparel system that its contractors and subcontractors work in,” Mr. Bores said. “Nike air max plays factory against factory, causing them to shave a penny here and a penny there, creating an ultra-competitive environment that drives down wages and gives factory owners virtually no choice but to disrespect workers’ basic rights.”


United Students Against Sweatshops estimated that Nike’s air max 90 total payments, including those for health coverage and training, would exceed $2 million. Even with Monday’s agreement, Ms. Meyers said her company would stick to its position that contractors and subcontractors were responsible for obligations like severance pay. Workers’ rights groups say that while many brands boast that they are complying with codes of conduct to protect workers, the brands at the same time balk at assuming responsibilities when contractors’ violate their obligations to their workers.

Jane L. Collins, a University of Wisconsin sociology professor who is on the school’s licensing committee, which called on the university to end its licensing agreement with Nike air max 2009, said, “If apparel companies can’t take responsibility for the factories where they have contracts, they can’t claim to be adhering to a code of conduct.” Officials at several universities had warned Nike that unless it settled the dispute, it would face larger protests once the fall semester began.

Last November, the student movement against sweatshops got Russell Athletic to agree to rehire 1,200 workers in Honduras who lost their jobs when the company closed their factory soon after the workers had unionized. The students had persuaded 100 universities to sever or suspend their licensing agreements with Russell.

Explaining Monday’s agreement, Jack Mahoney, national organizer for United Students Against Sweatshops, said, “After we got over 100 universities to boycott Russell, Nike air max 90 understood the university pressure would not simply go away.”

Coach K takes young U.S. team

It's not a reality show or a weight-loss gimmick. It's the task of taking 12 guys who have never played basketball together and turning them into the best in the world ... in just six weeks.
Now, of those 12 players, only one has ever played center. Only three were NBA All-Stars last season. Only five are old enough to rent a car. And nine of them -- two-thirds of the team -- never have played under the rules that will be used nike air max over the six weeks.

That has been the challenge facing Mike Krzyzewski this summer. As the head coach of the U.S. National Team readies his 12 guys for the semifinals in the FIBA World Championship, even his harshest critics now will have to admit: He's been up to the challenge.

Krzyzewski clearly loves this challenge. With college recruiting over for air max 2009  the summer, he could have spent the last month relaxing and preparing for the upcoming season at Duke. But he'd much rather be spending his days on the practice floor and his nights in a hotel ballroom watching film.

"I've grown to really respect him so much more just playing for him and seeing how much he puts into this," Chauncey Billups says. "He's so passionate. He's up late hours watching film. He's all-in."

"His passion for the game is so high," adds U.S. assistant coach Jay Triano, who has been a part of the USA Basketball program since 2007, but hasn't been with the team during an international competition before this year. Triano says it's Krzyzewski's "competitive drive" that has stood out the most. At moments during their film sessions, Triano says, nike air max 24-7 Krzyzewski will suddenly stop the tape, turn to the rest of the staff and say, "We have to win this game!"

"You put him in a situation where you want to win something, you want him on your side," Triano says.

Krzyzewski clearly knows how to transfer that drive to his players, too.

"It doesn't make any difference who they are or what level of stardom that they have, he connects with them," Colangelo says. "And what I have sensed since we've been together is that the players are very responsive to him."

"When he speaks, you listen," Kevin Love admits. "He gets us fired up to play big time."

"What you want to do is put enough in that doesn't make them non-instinctive," he says. "We put in enough and allow some slippage, where it's not completely right, just so that we don't become basically anal in making something perfect. And hopefully attitude and speed can make up for it. It's just very unusual and it's unlike the other [international] teams, because they have that continuity [of returning players]."

In the end, the American players will end up playing just nine games that count. But the trip to get to those games, from New York to Madrid to Athens to Istanbul, has been a grind. It's been more than a month since the American players last slept in their own beds. Part of Krzyzewski's job is to keep both their bodies and minds fresh.

"We throw information at him all the time," Triano says. "And one of his strengths is regulating what is too much and what is not enough."

Instead of worrying about his team's lack of experience,  nike air max 2010 Krzyzewski has tried to turn its youth into a positive by getting them to play with more energy than their opponent. Instead of trying to adjust to the opponent's size advantage, he has forced other teams to deal with the Americans' speed and athleticism.

"When you're watching film, the things he talks about really show in the game," Kevin Durant, the team's biggest star, says. "And that's something that's very special. I really haven't seen it too much in a coach that he really knows in depth about every possession, every play and plays ahead."

At Duke, Krzyzewski has won 12 ACC championships, been to the Final Four 11 times and captured four national championships. He led Team USA to an Olympic gold medal in 2008. He was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2001.

But if he can win the 2010 FIBA World Championship here in Istanbul with what many have called the USA's "B Team," the accomplishment should go near the top of his very long list of accolades.

"Regardless of what takes place in these remaining games, it's been an amazing job, considering that we've completely turned over the roster since '08," Colangelo says . nike air max 2009  "It's always challenging when you're bringing new people together. But I'm not sure it could have worked any better."

NBA players who could be deal with trade deadline

Though it definitely seemed like the world had stopped when LeBron James and Chris Bosh flew south back at the start of the summer, the truth is there could still be nike air max 24-7 plenty more movement even after the 2010-11 season begins.

Here are a handful of players who may not currently be on the market, but nevertheless could find themselves changing teams before the February trading deadline:

Chauncey Billups -- Not that the veteran point guard is looking to leave his hometown. But it could simply be a move that makes sense if the front office isn't able to get nike air max 2010 Carmelo Anthony to agree to terms on a contract extension. If the linchpin of the franchise isn't going to commit himself to Denver, then it only makes sense for the Nuggets to go into a complete rebuilding mode. J.R. Smith, Nene and Kenyon Martin are also eligible to become free agents next summer and that means a 34-year-old quarterback like Billups could be most valuable as a commodity to bring in a young player or draft pick while he's still on top of his game.

It's all about the usual, trying to keep up with the Lakers and Celtics at the top of each conference, not to mention the nouveau rich Heat. But it's also about the unusual and the unknown. With labor unrest playing the background music and a lockout looming next July that has the potential to put the league on the shelf for quite nike air max 2009 some time, there are a lot of teams that might be willing to make bold moves before the landscape of the league changes dramatically under the rules of a new collective bargaining agreement.
Andrei Kirilenko -- AK-47 seems to have pulled out of the funk that made him an expensive nuisance for a couple of seasons. Now he's just expensive, scheduled to make close to $18 million in the last year of his contract. The Jazz recovered shrewdly from Carlos Boozer's free agent departure to Chicago by reeling in Al Jefferson to anchor the front line. But the long-term biggest concern is getting Deron Williams to make a commitment to Utah when his option comes up in two seasons. Kirilenko is as useful as a Swiss Army knife at both ends of the floor, but he's never going to be more than a third or fourth option with the Jazz, who are stuck in the middle of the Western Conference pack. His skills could help a would-be playoff team on the bubble or solidify an elite team that's already a contender. A deal could land the Jazz a nice package that convinces Williams to stick around.

Jeff Green -- Why in the world would the up-and-coming Thunder even think about breaking up their young threesome that includes Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook? It's the usual one-word answer: money.

Andre Iguodala -- Maybe his time spent this summer with the U.S. team at the FIBA World Championship will give Iguodala the experience and the confidence to return to Philadelphia and finally drag the Sixers to the next level. They've been waiting on the gifted slasher and scorer for air max 90 six seasons now to act like the top dog, but he's shown more occasional bark than consistent bite. Now it's new coach Doug Collins' job to turn the key and unlock what is still unfulfilled potential. But if he's not getting through by midseason, there is every reason to think that the Sixers would turn the future over to No. 2 draft pick Evan Turner, who plays the same position, and send Iggy off to bloom in another location. Patience is not usually a Philly virtue.
Oklahoma City just signed Durant to a new deal that will cost -- and be worth -- every cent of $85 million and they've got Westbrook standing in line waiting for his payday. It's just not as simple as having the ATM spit out a fortune to everyone who is next in line. The Thunder invested the No. 3 pick in the 2009 draft on James Harden and expect him to steadily take on a bigger role and minutes. Up front they now have Cole Aldrich moving into the lineup. Green would naturally be a small forward on most teams, but that's the domain of the out-of-this-world Durant. There are going to be times in the development of the Thunder as a small-market contender when some of the decisions will have to be made with an eye on the bottom line and this is one.

Jason Thompson -- He's everything you might want in a young big man -- 12.5 points and 8.5 rebounds a game last season -- and that would seem to be a reason you'd want to make him part of the foundation on a team that's building over. Except that in just over six months, the Kings have traded for Carl Landry and Samuel Dalembert and drafted DeMarcus Cousins, making for an awfully crowded frontline. That would seem to make Thompson the odd man out or at least the one who has to prove himself all over again as worthy of significant playing time. air max 24-7 Is he really ready to cede all those minutes to Cousins and Landry and just be happy as a backup when there are plenty of teams that could use and appreciate his inside skills?

Deep 3-pointer helps Serbia defending champion impact Spain














Serbia knocked defending champ Spain out of the world championship Wednesday when Milos Teodosic made a long 3-pointer with 3.1 seconds left for a 92-89 quarterfinal victory.

"He's a great player and he has a great nike air max feeling for the big shot," Spain coach Sergio Scariolo said.

The Spaniards couldn't get a final shot off, with Jorge Garbajosa losing the ball after a timeout. Serbia's players celebrated at midcourt as Spain's Sergio Llull kicked the ball deep into the stands.

"I think it was a very, very tough game. Maybe the best one until now in Istanbul," Serbia coach Dusan Ivkovic said.


Spain erased an eight-point deficit in the final 4 minutes to tie it on Marc Gasol's basket with 25 seconds remaining. After a timeout, Serbia patiently ran its offense until Teodosic -- 1 of 7 on 3-pointers at that point -- pulled up from straightaway, well beyond the arc.

Avenging a loss in last year's European championship game, Serbia advanced to face Turkey in a semifinal game Saturday. air max 2009 The hosts remained unbeaten with a 95-68 victory over Slovenia later Wednesday.

"It's very difficult to forget this kind of game, but we have to try to forget everything that happened tonight because in two days we will play in the semifinals," Teodosic said.

Marko Keselj and Novica Velickovic scored 17 points apiece for Serbia, while Dusko Savanovic added 15. The Serbians were 15 of 30 from 3-point range, exploiting the zone seemingly every time Spain used it.

Navarro scored 27 points and Garbajosa, the former Toronto Raptors forward who recovered from a severe leg injury, added 18.

But the Spaniards, considered the co-favorites along with the United States coming into the tournament, lost for the third time in Turkey. They were without their best player, Lakers All-Star Pau Gasol, then lost point guard Jose Calderon of the Raptors shortly before the tournament.

The champions in Japan four years ago nike air max 24-7 now will be forced to qualify for the 2012 Olympics at next year's European championship.

"We were not able to stop them on the long shots," Spain guard Juan Carlos Navarro said. "That's why we lost and I believe that's why they deserved to win."

Teodosic, one of the two Serbia players suspended for a brawl in an exhibition game against Greece, finished with 12 points. Center Nenad Krstic of the Oklahoma City Thunder, nike air max 2010 the other suspended Serb, finished with 13 points and nine rebounds.
