Depends on the age. I notice that people 30s and up tend wear Adidas more, because one thing that Nike has lowered itself to these days that has really turned me off personally from their brand is putting out so many shoes in so many bright, non-matching colors and weird colorways. That SCREAMS, "Hey, look...these shoes are for KIDS!!! We hope they buy them because the wacky colors catch their young, go against the norm eyes!!!" That REALLY narrows down the number of Nikes I have to chose from, even if I love the design of a specific shoe. For example, I LOVE the design of the Nike Ja Morants, but as a person older than 25, most of the colorways are so loud and weird that I LITERALLY couldn't wear them with anything expect maybe a pair of blue jeans and a plain white t-shirt, and I don't want to have to restrict myself to that multiple times a week just so my Ja's get enough wear to make me feel like I'm getting my money's worth. So Adidas---while still being stylish and innovate---is much more practical from that aspect as well when it comes to different options with color combinations.

Adidas is my all time favorite brand, and last year they broke the ice with tons of awesome sneakers

Guess I can't deny it, nostalgia goes hard.😂 Though all my friends were wearing Nike and my dad let me have my pick of sneakers, and I always just like Adidas. Maybe it's a contrarian thing.

Nike switched to a squeakier rubber material for their running shoes; they obviously won't squeak when you're outside, but as soon as you go indoors, you can't help but make a lot of noise. Happened with my last pair of Alvords & switched to Pegasus with no improvement. I got a pair of Ultraboosts & they don't squeak & the Continental rubber has lasted longer than any of my previous Nikes.

Whether reselling is good or bad for a brand I have no clue. I think the brands get a lot of exposure from it and it creates unmistakable a hype. Also it makes it more fun to collect if the brands release smaller batches. Reselling dates back for over 20 years, only the market was less transparent around that time. We used to bid on Ebay all day long. Imo stockx gave easy access to everyone and his mother to become a reseller and that caused an increase that led to the situation of peasants starting to resell not giving a damn about sneakers.

At some point all GR's that looked good were bought up by the resellers as if it were specials. That certainly changed a lot. Now it seems to get back to the old days, with exclusives only. Not sure whether its because of the brands increasing stock numbers or that they hype reached a lot of non-sneakerheads that are losing interest.

Totally agree!

Did not agree well a month later. German football just switch to Nike. Adidas to lose over 50 million in Germany. Sad Nike took over Adidas home nation

Yeah you probably right if you take an overall view of things but this video (and channel) is focusing on sneakers only. So with regards to sneakers, things seem te be turning a bit😁

I always found Adidas shoes to be more durable than Nike. Nike might look cool but it’s all flashy shi

Haha yes yes it is

Wtf is this video? Nike dominates Adidas. You call Nike a legacy brand then hype up the gazelle,samba, and campus? How does that make sense?

really? 😂 no wonder Adidas lost the bid war to Nike for the German football jerseys in front of Germany, the home of Adidas

Im a Nike air Jordan colector and what I can say quality of those shoes is so bad right now. I bought Jordans true flight and I had to exchange them 3x and finnaly send them back coz quality was so bad. They was made in Vietnam probably by the 5 year old kids. Bad bad bad quality on nike shoes. Not sure what their plan is but as company they destroy their reputation.

We are in the same boat. It is so sad to see this development. They got way too comfortable and forgot about producing quality sneakers.

I have both Adidas and Nike shoes. My Adidas are a lotttttt more comfortable and durable than Nike. They aren't flashy or cool styles like Nike does for shoes, but the quality and comfort is always more valuable to me.

I think thats the case for many. I am a Nike guy though but because of the looks. Adidas Quality and comfort is way better

Suppose nike has converse to compete with adidas, kobe left addidas to go to Nike, wonder why, oh the pink messeys omg they are ugly. What have they done, just put messeys logo on the tongue 😮 im sure most athletes would jump to Nike if they actually had the choice.

Nah, dont you think that Lionel Messi, David Beckham, James Harden and many more athletes contracted by Adidas placed Adidas over Nike. Nike would definitely jump on it if they ever have the opportunity to contract one of them. And yes Messi shoe is ugly

Welp Adidas is just cheaper, more slick, as comfortable as Nike (tho they cant compete with Air chamber, but the Nike Air chamber is not durable at all, it brakes or collapses, while Adidas Cloud foam is just fine..), this is the main reason why... Also the color scheme of most Nike shoes are just nasty and ugly, i see many ppl wear Nike, yet most of these shoes are so ugly, dumb colors, too many colors, or even the shape of it is ugly... Meanwhile Adidas has way better color schemes, that are slick, and just look good. And when u add to that the lower price, i will never consider Nike, as they are way too overpriced, why should i pay 50% of the shoe price, just for the brand, no thanks...

I think cloud foam and the air chamber are great technologies that make sure both companies are able to compete with each other. Color schemes is more or less taste imo 😜 Indeed many of the price you pay is for branding and other expenses. Soon we will post a video that explains all about this.

Masmatibay si adidas!

Nah thats not true, at least in EU. They have a 2 year warranty period. If the shoe breaks in that period and you still have the receipt youll be refunded.

Not sure I still see a lot demand to it. It was better though I have to agree.

Totally disagree once Nike air was birthed the shift in the pattern was evident. Adidas clearly missed a trick by turning down a collab with the great Michael Jordan so Nike took that baton and soared to new heights. I see pagans mainly wearing Adidas and they are 35 and over with new balance now while I see people everywhere wear Nike air and Jordans from all ages.

Lol Pagans only? The thing is that Nike needs a new MJ trick. Nike is still Nike :(. MJs first collab was 40 years ago.

Adidas are ugly.

Nike is overpriced
