Steve Nash’s name has been involved in many trade rumors since the 2010-2011 NBA season began. Whether he leaves the desert remains to be seen; however, we have learned of another major move involving the Canadian born star. Steve Nash has reportedly left Nike to sign with Chinese sportswear brand Luyou. He is now the latest in a long line of NBA All-Stars to be signed by a Chinese sportswear brand (Jason Kidd, Kevin Garnett). While many Stateside skeptics have wondered if Chinese brands are interested in entering the US market, their intentions undoubtedly prove so.
Signing a former two-time MVP and All-Star gives Luyou an superior amount of credibility with the Chinese market and even more with Steve Nash having the Canadian connection. His fan base in Vancouver and BC provides an even strong bond to the Chinese market with such a large Chinese and Hong Kong population throughout that province in Canada. To illustrate, years ago the Nike Air Jet Flight, worn by Steve Nash, was a highly sought after shoe in Vancouver as well as the Hong Kong market. As of now, no detailed information has surfaced regarding this signing; therefore, stay tuned because more info should surface soon. What are your preliminary thoughts on Steve Nash’s shocking signing?
