USAIN SHOULDA BOLTED LIKE VINCE

Shoe Wars... A long time ago in a galaxy far far away... woops, wrong story.

In 1998 the Golden State Warriors drafted Vince Carter, a shooting guard/power forward from the University of North Carolina. He was then traded to the Toronto Raptors (big up all my Canada peeps). He was a star, winning the 1999 NBA Rookie of the Year award, VINSANITY had begun.

Now in 1998, Puma signed the then unknown Vince to an endorsement deal and everything was great until success came. Success came in the form of Nike, "The Swoosh Strikes Back".

Vince was offered a $30Mil contract by Nike during his 3 year Puma deal; slap in the face or just business, but all is fair in love and sports. Vince broke his Puma endorsement deal and was judicially forced to pay $13,547,011 in damages + $1,000,000 in Puma lawyer fees + $3,000,000 to waive his 3 year wait period.


The Vince Carter Nike Shox were born.

The story however continues and takes another turn but like in every good movie we shall continue in the sequel.
