Essential BRAD PIFF'S SNEAKER THREAD

[ball15life]

Do you prefer those to the Original colorway with the white around the AIR?

Not necessarily. The white outline of the OG makes them stand out a little bit more, but I do like the reflective "AIR" on these. I've been wanting a triple black sneaker for a minute also.

I really wanted the Volt version back in the day but forgot why I didn't get them

1. bad analogy, adidas making nmds/ultraboosts in multiple color ways is normal, as it was normal for jordan to drop the 12s in taxi/black and white/bred back in '97 when they drop NEW models

2. this isn't what adidas is doing right now:

the silver streak is gold now and if you rub it, some liberace wings appear

2 years max before they drop the playoff 12s again and with a new gimmick. a year or two ago it was "new leather" and a 50$ increase in price
but the shyt sells so i don't blame them


meanwhile every new shoe they've been designing is dog shyt. vapormax got a dope upper with thick orthopedic plastic platforms for soles.
nikes most hyped shoes are shyt they made 20 years ago, that's the point people making in here
adidas nmds ultraboosts and those water moccasin yeezies didn't exist 5 years ago.

Interesting how you completely skipped over my
Triple Black UB 1.0
Triple Black UB 2.0
Triple Black UB 3.0
and the newly announced Triple Black UB 4.0

Most adidas fans cant even point out a difference let alot the common customer. Trust me Adidas took Nikes idea and RAAAAAN far with it, they are smart, they are robbing their customers blind during the hype.

You are comparing a white/black/gold 12 that scratches away to a new design, new lace holes, numbered and better leather to a Taxi that came out years ago that most people dont own anymore or have

Yet Adidas literally releasing the same sneaker with a different heel, same colors, same boost, same laces, same lace holes, literally no changes. months apart from eachother

Dont even get me started on UB white, Triple White, Cream, then NMD tricolors, Multi colors.. go look for yourself I get all these shyts and I laugh at it myself but I love it cause adidas fans are riding this wave hard as hell, I cant wait for UB Triple Black 4.0 hopefully they go up to 10.0, cause I am cashing out

and @sfgiants just a friendly discussion of course but no one can deny they are jigging people so hard right now, its like a hot artist dropping a shytty track and most STILL like it... thats adidas right now, and I am not even mad at them riding that wave. But here you go again... ANOTHER Triple Black UB.. this time with a touch of leather.

Thats 4-5 of the same damn shoe in other 12 months

See this is what I'm talking about with Adidas that's irking the fukk out of me. They have an opportunity to do some great shyt and they just whoring out these UB and NMDs already pretty much shooting themselves in the foot not seeing the long game. Why they cranking these shyts out so hard? Every month it looks like they releasing the same damn shoe over and over. I do want to grab those Grey/Olive UB though

Nike Hits Historic High in Latest Teen Research Survey

Analyst firm Piper Jaffray revealed the results of its latest semi-annual Teen Research Project after collecting upwards of 5,500 responses nationwide. Subjects, whose average ages were 16, were asked to note their spending patterns, brand preferences and favorite product trends.

The survey uncovered that overall teen spending is down 2.4% from fall 2016, among several other findings in regard to retail, footwear and social media. Below are several notable takeaways from the report:

• Nike remains the footwear favorite for over 50% of respondents — an all-time survey high. It also was the favorite apparel brand for the fourth season in a row.
• Converse left its former spot as the third most preferred footwear brand, falling to fourth behind Adidas, Vans and Nike.
• Athletic brands lead the pack for apparel favorites. Nike, Lululemon and Adidas were among respondents’ top 5 favorite clothing brands, with a collective share of 41%.

• Adidas is noted as the fastest-growing brand across both footwear and apparel. Ranking slightly behind Vans and Nike in the footwear category, the label hit a 10-year high among male teenagers and an all-time high among female teens.

• Female teenagers spend more money on clothing than male teenagers, by 9%.
• Amazon remains the choice among e-commerce platform, by 38%.
• While teens still do the majority of their shopping with brick-and-mortar retailers, their time spent on e-tail sites increased by 2%.
• Snapchat is the dominant social platform, followed by Instagram and Twitter. Facebook, however, declined in popularity by 2%, putting it in the fourth spot.
