And if so what will be the priority between pushing Jerry Lorenzo, original, or luxury collaboration, which has been much more visible this year. And just finally, if I maybe clarify some accounting. Just small accounting questions. In which part of the P&L were the royalties paid for the Yeezy contract? Was it all captured, within EBIT and can you comments on risks of disputes over the termination of that contract? Anything we need to be aware of, especially for 2023? Thank you.
Harm Ohlmeyer: Yes. Thomas that’s lots of questions. I’m not sure that qualifies for two questions. But let me try to answer all of these. First of all, on the Yeezy collaboration, we said it numerous times, it has been probably the most successful collaboration ever done between an influencer musician, and a sports brand. So we have been proud of what we have built together. And again, it came to an end, as we said earlier for the right reasons. But again, these collaborations will continue with other influencers as well, that is part of our business model. And I don’t understand the question why we have done it to begin with. But it’s always something in the short term that we can compensate. On the midterm, we have a portfolio of influencers, the portfolio of sports, portfolios of positions or influencers.
And that’s always the approach that was the most successful one. And that’s why it’s not easy to replace in the short term that obviously in this year, but we are confident through other collaboration to scale them up and through our product portfolio to compensate for it. But again, there will always be collaborations that we will build on. On the marketing spent, the €300 million that I mentioned, the combination of royalty, and marketing spend, that will be not spent any more in 2023. Because that was linked to the labor of Yeezy, which we’re not going to use on new products going forward. And as I said, there’s always different portfolios. We will continue to work with Jerry Lorenzo. We will have Bad Bonny. We will have Beyoncé and of course, we have a lot of sport athletes that we are working with.
This is part of the investment into the bigger brand, and gets us Halo to begin with. And that’s what Yeezy definitely did for the last couple of years as well. I think the last question was the accounting question where the royalties will be booked. They’re clearly in the EBIT and the royalty payments you would have found in the gross margin and some of the marketing spent would have been in the marketing line, but as the majority of the €300 million, you would find in the gross margin. And the last question, there’s another one maybe the fifth one, the risk of disputes. We believe we have a very solid contract replace that we of course terminated. So at this point, I would not be concerned about any disputes, or any costs that are not even accounted for in 2022 but definitely no dispute going into 2023.
David Roux: Thank you Harm.
Operator: Next question is from the line of Omar Saad from Evercore ISI. Please go ahead.
Omar Saad: Thanks. Good evening, thanks for taking my question. I was hoping maybe you could dive in a little bit deeper what to expect with the basketball, Jerry Lorenzo rollout kind of size and breadth timing. Also maybe also a little bit deeper on the running commentary. I think it’s up 16%. And how much of that has been driven by some of the new products? And then also lastly, an update on the originals business, especially some of the opportunities in North America including the footlocker partnership? Thanks.
