Word is that Dobson signed with adidas. Huge punch in the gut for the Farm Team. Nice work for the 3 stripes.

no big punch in the gut for the Farm Team. they want everyone to succeed, regardless of affiliation. dobson EARNED his stripes, he should get paid!
who cares? no one's going to buy a damned thing because ian dobson wears their shit.
isabella occhichi said at the crescent city classic ian dobson is her hero and favorite runner.
I don't know who can relate this story any better (Ian or his dad if they read this forum), but I traveled with Ian and his Dad when he was competing as a youth (along with Max King) when he was representing the S.O. Sizzlers for Jr. Olympics in Kentucky. His Dad told me a stroy about Ian getting fired up about being a great runner and contacting shoe companies to provide him with shoes. One company admired his moxy so much that they actually spoke to him in person. I wish I could remember the company; I want to think it was adidas.

it isn't about just dobson. it is about brand recognition through the masses of the sport. it is about the potential to have one or two athletes become world or usa models. you are absolutely right that ian himself will not influence who "buys their shit".
and as for "who cares"- apparently adidas cares and they seem to have a better grasp of the whole marketing thing than you. but that is based on multi-million dollar companies only (so please, if you have one accept my apologies) and how they choose to go about business.
by the way, in the adidas was up .14/share to 140.05 (near the 52 week high of 140.34) in the frankfurt stock exchange. hmmm, DOES dobson have an influence?
How much would a Dobson sign for?
Anybody know for sure what kind of money he upper-middle class gets? (Not quite Ritz/Webb).
The Farm Team still exists?
