Why Nike Is Struggling

[MustafaSTL]

Don't care if you believe it or not

Switched to Asics and never looked back.

So you really have a pair of Nikes that fell apart after wearing them a few times?

 

[In The Zone '98]

They ran up the prices on everything. Talking about tariffs and shipping cost

Feels like everybody in the basketball division got the same shoe

Also didn't help when that Executive's son turned into the Walter White of retroes

I don't know why they never thought to make shoes comfortable for people working on their feet for 6+ hours a day. Especially the

Both of those at retail are just as expensive as Nike.

What shoes are yall talking about when you say this? The 9060 is $155. The 1000 is $150.

The Asics equivalent of Vapormax (Quantum Kinetic) is $250, the same price as Vapormax.

Breh you know damn well most people are buying the 530 and the ASICS 1130 both both are 99.99 why do why think Nike/jordan reps blew up the last 3 years I used to think it wasn't the price till I stop thinking like a sneakerhead and what I like and started thinking like the average consumer not the average sneaker head

No innovations
Not keeping up with or setting the latest trends hence no longer being seen as cool

there's always comfortable options but what is fashionable or trendy and what is comfortable is not always the same thing. however you get shoes like the vomero which are comfortable and trendy from time to time. someone who goes and wears a retro dunk then complains about nike shoes comfort for example is not a savvy consumer

- Leaned too heavily on their own website
- shut our retailers like foot locker and dīcks
- weak selection at their outlets
- the innovation in R&D not showing in the product
- relying too heavy on Jordan as a cash cow
- expensive products
- NB, Hoka and On aren’t scared of Nike and do whatever they want
- “invisible” roster of athletes who don’t stand out

 

[Roid Jones]

I don’t know if I’m just getting but their shyt feels like walking on bricks to me now

Breh, it's not just you, shyt is torture

Nike stores have the WOAT selection, shyt makes no sense

We're talking about apples and oranges.

A sneaker head looking at Nikes is going to look at the Asics or NB equivalent.

Nobody who was going to cop some Vapormax is going to settle for a $90 pair of NB.

And if they're not a sneaker head then they wouldn't be looking at similar shoes, anyway.

You're talking as if Nike doesn't have dozens of $100 "dad shoe" variations at Shoe Carnival.

Again, Nike is in their current predicament due to leaving Footlocker, Champs, etc. and the Adidas, Asics, NB, etc. equivalent filling that gap. This isn't a dad shoe vs dad shoe situation.

Fred.

 

[FINALE]

As I get older the less I'm wearing Nike, the more I just grab club c's or actual leather boots
Was never a sneakerhead though so, the only nikes I really wear are when running

 

[Admiral Ackbar]

They peaked in the 90s but I don't fukk with any other sneaker.

[OperationNumbNutts]

you’ll probably have to ask somebody that’s over 40 champ

Yeah. Me and I'm not wearing that shyt.

 

[cyndaquil]

Let Kyrie Irving go over a an issue that blew over pretty quickly.

They stopped putting their shyt in stores like that and try to get you to buy from their shytty site.

Dropped no new shyt worth wearing on feet. It's bad when I play 2k and pick nike for my shoe deal and I hate all the new shoe designs and wear retro Kobes and Lebrons instead.

Failed to recruit the right new stars to the brand.

New designs for shoes are trash and they out ugly shyt like cosmic unitys and easy on Jordan's plus those ugly ass shoes made out of only recycled materials

I like their clothes tho still. Their joggers feel nice and their gym clothes last for years
