The NBA's Sneaker Wars ft. Nick DePaula + Sports Marketing 101 ft. Jordan Rogers
The NBA Finals are over, as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder have raised the Larry O'Brien Trophy for the first time in franchise history - but what about the ever-continuing sneaker wars? SLAM + ESPN's Nick DePaula (4:23) stops by to discuss Converse and PUMA being in the Finals, the state of shoes around the NBA, how WNBA shoes are shooting up the charts, and how brands could help fix the dunk contest. Afterwards, Donnovan visits with former Nike executive Jordan Rogers (21:39) for a class on sports marketing in 2025. Plus, Donnovan shares his essay on the success of Canadians in the NBA Finals.
