Nike Booth US Open

[Racer]

Is the Nike booth back at the US Open for 2018? I know it wasn't there last year and it was pretty disappointing...

No one said anything about Nike booth at US open?
Wow.
Since Federer went Uniqlo, I feel that entire tennis apparel industry is in danger.
Seems like no one is interested in Tennis apparels anymore. People might use what they have now and barely buys Tennis apparels nowadays.

Confirmed, no Nike booth again this year. There are still Adidas and Wilson booths.

Mmm....bad sign for Nike fans.
Already started to get out of Tennis business.... also Nike just does not like USTA anymore from Fed shoes controversy.
Nike needs to regroup themselves from now. Entire tennis apparel business is boring nowadays.

Because of Nike not trying/flourishing?

Please.

There’s plenty of nice tennis clothes out there.
I thought that Auztralian outfit I saw on one of the men was really nice. Just try and find a place to buy it.
Nike is in a slump right now. They’ve been there before.
Patience young padawans. They’ll stop smoking their ganja at Nike soon, and get to work again on some cool shtuff.

Agree. Nike is the biggest but hardly the only. I really like the Mizuno shirt Baghdatis was wearing.

Shocked that after the summer colors, Adidas went so boring. That shirt Thiem is wearing looks like it came from a prison.

Didn’t Nike have a dispute with US Open over the use of the trophy symbol?

Anyway it’s a shame, the Nike booth was my go-to retailer at the Open.

Nike is Mercedes now I believe. At least that’s what it seemed when I was there this past week (from old memory of where Nike booth was). The whole grounds looks much different than it did even 5 years ago.

Sad as the Nike store in Dallas now basically has nothing left in tennis section. Used to have a section the same size as Golf, now they barely have 1/4 of a wall. Same with Nike store in Vegas. They used to have an entire section for Tennis, now there isn't any tennis gear at their store.

 

[Nostradamus]

Which shorts they have do you guys think is the highest quality shorts ?? of 9 inch seam ones ?

Yup, that's where the Nike booth used to be. It used to be jam packed with people all day long. Incidentally, I went into the Adidas store and there was hardly anyone in there. Nike was awesome there. Carried all the current shoes along with whatever special Fed or Rafa shoes were out at the time. Lots of t-shirts, many of them specifically for the US Open. Unless Adidas vacates their spot, I don't see anywhere for there to even be a new Nike booth.

I liked that Mizuno shirt as well. Shame it doesn't appear to be available anywhere in the US.

And when I first started going, both Prince and Yonex used to have spaces there. Those are gone now.

i asked some people at the wilson and Adidas stores...both mentioned that Nike insisted on complete control of everything (dont know exactly what that means). so usta told them to go fish. they are not bigger than the sport!

That's strange, and to be honest I don't know what that means. When I go to any golf tournament they have booths for every brand you can imagine. Nike, Under Armour, Adidas, RLX, Titleist, etc.
I do think that they did a nice job with the stores. They're built right into the new stadium and have a lot of stuff

Did you get a chance to ask anyone from USTA or Nike on how much the fee was raised to be in that particular spot? I heard it was rather high compared to years past.
