Adidas surge can be attributed to the lifestyle category where they basically sharpened the classics and came out with fire technology to compete and even surpass Nike in that category. Their timing was impeccable especially with Nike dominating with the Flyknit tech.

Sportswear and Athletic goods, Nike has that on lock. Earnings were a bit disappointing today but they should be able to bounce back once those self lacing joints drop :banderas:

I don't doubt Nike still doing more numbers but


Yeah i believe Kanye has been good for Adidas but what's happening at adidas is much better. They're just dropping a lot of cooler stuff so doesn't surprise me they got some new designers

Nike sued these 3 guys and Adidas for $10 million over breach of contract. It was a big deal when they left.

Mark Miner was Senior Footwear Designer and the mastermind behind the Nike Free Run+
Marc Dolce was the NSW Design Director and it appears he's taken Adidas Originals to new heights
Denis Dekovic was Senior Design Director for Nike Soccer creating the Mercurial Superfly IV, Magista, HyperVenom Phantom along with countless other boots.

Nike own 20% of the market, so yeaa there doing a lot more than adidas, who only 5%-7% of the market. Kanye is adding more revenue but not enough to make nike look at them, and to be honest that will never happen, and theres nothing cool about adidas if kanyes name wasnt on the shoe there wouldnt even hype to em, welcome to marketing!

Nah, they've got a lot cooler shoes outside of the Yeezys. The adidas ultra bosst are a brilliant shoe regardless of the name attached. Kanye rocking them may have adidas added some value to them though. I find Adidas are droppin a lot of cooler clothes more than trainers.

The adidas x palace collabs for example has a lot of heat. I got this top, simple but gorgeous

I was just stating off the fact that adidas did better last year and that was clearly not the case...numbers dont lie and their market share isnt going anywhere no time soon.

Kanye West had nothing to do with the Adidas NMD that released last weekend and it was madness getting a pair.
