Ppl, I think it does not hurt to show SBENU and Sonic himself some respect after what he has contributed to SC and SC2. And also buy SBENU sneakers whenever you can.


Kinda hard though, since I won't find Sbenu shoes in the store in Germany and ordering a new brand online will always result in the wrong size. I only order Nikes since I know the exact size from experience and every brand seems to use their own size chart :/. Also in Asia sizes tend to be a bit smaller anyway, so no I would have no idea what to get.


we can open a SBENU franchise Shop togeather in Germany.

Of course great news for ST and congratz again to SBENU, but imo it is not a good news for Korean Sc2. Whatever the market, if ONE BRAND, and in that case not a huge one (Sbenu is of course a successfull brand but not a major billion dollar company which can dominate its copetitors) is the only investor on a specific market, that just means that there is not a lot of other investors interested. These multiple sponsoring just means that, except a glorious and highly respectable FAN of SC, no major brand wants to put its money on a medium/small Korean SC team. Furthermore, the fact that a small/medium firm can by itself sponsor so many things probably means the sponsor fee has become pretty low (and the sponsor fee of a team/sport/whatever is a pretty good indicator of the health of this market)

This news is good for ST ans Korean SC on short term, but not a good indicator for SC esport on the long term

I don't think that's the case. Sbenu is a multi million dollar company, although truth be told, theres probably not too many investors interested. It's been five years and it's taken this long to get one NEW korean organization ( I guess Jinair counts, but they only got a title sponsor when they picked up 2 lol teams). Sonic isn't the biggest SC2 fan as he's said in the past, and the fact he founded the multi million dollar company and sponsors the premier League of Legends tournament, says they have a decent marketing budget.

At the end of the day, it's a net gain for SC2.


It may be true, although at least in Korea itself sc2's popularity at the end of last year was supposedly at its highest point ever (from the proleague ratings particularly)

I wonder what this means for the team as a whole though. Sure, they probably get money, but will Sonic have some saying in important decisions now?
It's not really his team though (as far as i understood it, reading this thread)

I think it'd be pretty cool if somehow there was a deal in place to sell some sbenu shoes through the TL store or something. maybe a limited run.


they're kinda expensive -- would you be willing to pay like $80+ for sneakers ?


Is that a lot of money in the US for sneakers? I would in a heartbeat, if they were good quality and cool brand


No that's not expensive for U.S. sneakers, ~$100 seems average. But I suppose I'm not the best source for that since I wear cowboy boots


Yeah, I guessed that Wax was a nerd who had no taste in shoes : P But wait, you only wear cowboy boots..?

yes, if SBENU is big enough to have IU, SBENU is big enough to support ST with DRG and bummer.
