    If it's any consolation, my friend who works at an Adidas outlet told me that every week they get a big crate of all the Ninja branded shoes that they made and nobody is buying them

    I'm trying to see if there's a shelter or service that will take them, but it's just funny to hear him complain about them piling up

      Why would people buy them? He's the equivalent of a gamerfied children's breakfast tv show presenter.

      Companies treating that like something people want to wear are failing to understand the difference between a sports team and these famous influencers. You can be very famous and people still won't want to wear your shit. People are more likely to buy and wear items from the mediocre middle of the league esports team they like than from a much more famous person like him.

        All the sports brands are trying to edge in on the E-Sports market and doing an amazing job selling the ugliest stuff I have ever seen
