Chapter 124 Link-1 comes out!(2/2)
After these three gates came down and the honeymoon period passed, the Nuggets suffered a losing streak.
They began to face challenges.
But this is also normal. 82 games in an NBA season is very long, and it will go through many different stages, and the team will also have its ups and downs.
If the Nuggets can overcome this and take a step further, you'll have a chance to go further in the playoffs.
…
The time has come to January 9th.
Hyatt Regency Denver, also known as the Colorado Convention Center.
It is the seventh tallest building in Denver, reaching a height of 149 meters.
Lin Ying's LinK-1 press conference was held in the conference room on the first floor here.
A large number of media reporters and fans gathered at the scene.
There are a lot of Chinese faces among them, even Chinese faces.
A Chinese player signed a contract with a Chinese brand and held a signature sneaker press conference for the first time. This is somewhat exciting.
Moreover, the changes Lin Ying brought to the Nuggets also made him very popular among Denver fans.
All in all, by the time the press conference started, the seats of nearly a thousand people in the venue were basically full.
The first row even set up various long guns and short cannons, and the scene was quite lively.
Anta people are very happy to see this effect.
The fragrance of wine is also afraid of deep alleys, and talents still need to be appreciated.
In addition to the excellent quality of sneakers, whether they are popular or not is also a very important aspect.
Before the press conference was about to start, Lin Ying and Duffy entered the venue together.
This caused a burst of cheers from the audience.
Who can come to the venue who is not here for Lin Ying? Does anyone think that someone will come here because of Anta during this period?
Lin Ying is now walking on the road that Jordan walked.
But whether it can be successful depends on the effect of this first pair of shoes.
After Lin Ying arrived, the press conference officially began.
In the beginning, of course, it was impossible to show off the shoes directly.
The shoes are packed in a long transparent box and covered with red cloth.
This practice is also very characteristic of Chinese culture, just like when a girl takes off her hijab when she gets married, for good luck.
It starts with an introduction to some research and development.
For the American market, Anta is a brand new company, and its quality is definitely what fans are most concerned about.
During this process, Fila's technology continued to emerge, which also reassured some American fans at the scene.
After all, Fila was quite popular back then, and many people even wore it, so with this foundation, they were confident about LinK-1.
After the research and development is completed, it’s time to design.
The design is relatively straightforward, and the shoe shape is immediately revealed at the beginning.
The venue was also filled with excitement instantly.
These shoes... are so cool and handsome!
First of all, it is a mid-cut mandarin duck shoe!
At this time, there were not many mandarin duck shoes, and the more famous ones were Tracy McGrady's Tma-3.
Moreover, Lin Ying wore that pair in his debut, so the fans were even more impressed.
Secondly, I love this color!
Black, white and gold colors!
The left foot is black, the right foot is white, black shoes with white soles, white shoes with white soles.
Then the logo is gold "LinK" shoe label, and a gold Velcro is added!
If mandarin duck shoes are rare in this era, then Velcro is rare.
At this time, many of the shoe designs still had a zipper in the middle!
There are only a few, like Iverson's answer, with Velcro.
This thing theoretically increases the packaging, but in fact it mostly increases the aesthetics.
Compared to the Tma-3, where the tongue and shoelaces are directly exposed, the Velcro provides an instant sense of tightness and security.
This is also an important reason why Velcro will be widely popular in the future.
This is also Lin Ying's request.
Although he doesn’t know much about sneaker design, this is how the Sky Eye is used, and it must be popular for a reason in the future.
And on the opposite side of the shoe logo is one of Lin Ying’s iconic silhouettes: the buckle!
Several scenes that have impressed fans the most in his career: dunking on Hibbert, dunking on Oden, and dunking on Bowen!
Exclusive for long arms, it complements Jordan's Jumpman logo.
It can be said that the design of this shoe alone has whetted the appetite of fans.
Then the real climax comes from the pricing of sneakers!
This scene is somewhat similar to last year’s Apple 1 conference.
Anta actually sells LinK-1 in different grades!
It is divided into fan models, actual combat models and commemorative models!
The commemorative model is the most special. In addition to the previous designs, there is also a painting on the outside of the shoe, which is the back painting of Lin Ying wearing the jersey.
The black side is the back of Lin Ying’s No. 1 jersey from the NCAA era, and the white side is the back of Lin Ying’s No. 9 jersey from the Nuggets era.
There is also a "" logo on the heel.
It is priced at US$328 and is limited to one thousand pairs worldwide!
Needless to say, this kind of limited-edition sneakers are prepared by rich people and will definitely be snapped up.
The normal model is the one shown before, with a replica signature.
Its price is US$128, equivalent to about 935 yuan.
The price of ANSW during the same period was 1,350 yuan.
As a signature sneaker, the price can be said to be quite affordable!
Finally, there is the fan model.
The shoes are the same, but the air cushion technology and materials are relatively inferior, but they also have replica signatures, and the price is only $82!
Converted to RMB, it is about 600 yuan.
There was an uproar when the price came out.
In terms of technological content and design investment, these shoes should definitely not be that cheap, but this wave of Anta's first-generation shoes is obviously aimed at opening up the market!
And before the fans could react, the host announced another news.
All sneakers have several pairs signed by Lin Ying!
Although the number is not large, it is random, just like a lottery, it depends on your luck!
And to prevent leaks during sales, all shoes are also externally sealed!
At this time, the scene was completely boiling.
They only have one idea in their mind.
Where to buy? Give me a pair!
Chapter completed!
