全球时报:NBA搞的事,让耐克“躺枪”了

  达雷尔·莫雷的一条“作死”推特,已殃及了包括耐克在内的运动品牌。

  这几年,一双NBA明星的联名款、限量版运动鞋价格动辄几千、上万,在中国有时甚至能被“炒”到数万元,让这些国外运动鞋和运动服装品牌在中国赚得盆满钵满。

  不过,NBA事件发生后,包括耐克在内的运动品牌,处在了非常尴尬的境地。其中尤以作为NBA独家球衣赞助商的耐克受到的影响最甚。

  Few western companies have more at stake than Nike in the fallout from an American basketball executive’s tweet about Hong Kong。

  一个美国篮球队高管在推特上发布了有关香港的言论后,几乎没有哪家西方公司比耐克面临的风险更大。

  The US sportswear group, whose Swoosh logo adorns NBA player kits under an exclusive deal with the league, has been among the biggest beneficiaries from a basketball boom in China。

  这家美国运动服装集团是中国篮球热潮的最大受益者之一。根据与NBA的一项独家协议,该集团的对勾标识会出现在NBA球员的球衣上。

  “The brand has been so hot over there,” said Brian Yarbrough, analyst at Edward Jones in St Louis。 Such is the importance of China to the New York-listed company, which has a $115bn market capitalisation, that “one hiccup could spell problems” for the entire investment case。

  “这个品牌在那里一直很受欢迎,”总部设在圣路易斯的Edward Jones公司的分析师布赖恩•亚伯拉夫说道。对于这家市值1150亿美元的纽约上市公司来说,中国市场的重要性如此之大,以至于“一个小问题可能会给整个投资计划带来麻烦”。

  此外,耐克越来越依赖它在大中华地区的增长。

  Its sales in Greater China surged 22% in the first quarter of this fiscal year to make up about 17% of its total revenue。 Basketball and Nike are so popular in China, that “they can go there and basically charge what they want,” one analyst told theFinancial Times。

  本财年第一季度,该公司在大中华区的销售额激增22%,占其总收入的17%左右。一位分析师对英国《金融时报》表示,篮球和耐克在中国如此受欢迎,以至于“他们可以去那里,想收多少钱就收多少钱。”

  Nike‘s chief executive, Mark Parker, has repeatedly underlined the importance of China to the company and reaffirmed its commitment to the region。

  此前,耐克首席执行官马克·帕克几次再三强调中国对公司的重要性,并重申了对该地区的承诺。
