Under Armour delivered autographed Curry 4 sneakers by drone to fans over the weekend. StockX CEO Josh Luber explains how this promotion is resonating with fans, and how the sneaker retailer is performing.
"The shoes are dropping from the sky, how cool is that," says Luber. "I love that Under Armour is being the innovator here and doing something different." Last week Stifel Nicolaus upgraded Under Armour, raising the price target from $11 to $17. Shares of the retailer have since been on the rise. Luber says if Under Armour can succeed in snagging a piece of the market in the basketball sector from Nike or Adidas it could really help the retailer.
Luber also shares his picks for the hottest sneakers on the resale market. This week those include Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Blue Tint, and Jordan 11 "Win Like 96."
President Donald Trump is talking up a joint venture investing up to $500 billion for infrastructure tied to artificial intelligence by a new partnership formed by OpenAI, Oracle and SoftBank. The new entity, Stargate, will start building out data centers and the electricity generation needed for the further development of the fast-evolving AI in Texas, according to the White House. The initial investment is expected to be $100 billion and could reach five times that sum. While Trump has seized on similar announcements to show that his presidency is boosting the economy, there were already expectations of a massive buildout of data centers and electricity plants needed for the development of AI.
