Are boosts running sneakers or casual sneakers?

 

[Technosteve]

Ultraboosts better then pegasus 34?

 

[GSG Flash]

I know those Superstar shoes are really trendy. My sister in law really wanted them for her birthday this year.

Don't think they have enough support to be a proper running shoe. And they'd be way expensive for running. Stick to casual.

Imagine back in the 80s, that adidas didn't pass on endorsing MJ.



Adidas took the L for a long time.

I had no clue adidas was german. And now googling it I find that the founders name is adolf nickname adi and he may have been a nazi.

 

[Bruce Springsteen]

I don’t think there is any questions that Kanye west made Adidas cool again. Living in New York City I feel like I see Adidas as much as Nike if not more with the younger crowd

 

[Oblivion]

As someone who wears this, I can safely say the best team won, after all.

whoop whoop

I think the upswing really started when celebrities started wearing stan smiths and sambas.

 

[PassiveObserver]

LTTP, but I'm a Boost believer now through and through.

 

[Mattlikewhoa]

I'm not surprised at all... The Jordan releases have been rather stale, and the quality doesn't match the prices being asked. And this is coming from a Nike head.

 

[Milennia]

i made the transition a while ago when ultraboost came out and i have 6 pairs now along with some other adidas street wear esque shoes

i still buy the odd retro pair of jordans im into but adidas and boost are my number 1 as of now and the last few years

i even prefer hardens for basketball

Btw, can you believe these bitches have actually gone up in price of the last 15 years? From $60 in high school to $80 today. wtf?

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Tiro pants are still the goat athleisure pants.

Can't wait for the new yeezys and ultraboost 4.0 in November/December

Now this I am right there with you on. Prices keep increasing but the quality has been sliding for a minute.

My Infrared 6s from 2010 are WAY higher quality than the 6s that have been most recently released.

 

[forrest]

Got my first pair of boost a couple months back.

Hip-hop is a major influence on what is cool in fashion, after Kanye jumped to Adidas all the hip pop stars were wearing his shoes and clothing, that had a huge influence on the youth

 

[hiim_haz]

Hilarious, I just got a pair of PureBoost today and it's changed my life forever. Well worth the money.

 

[Bubble Metropolis]

Their basketball shoes have really come a long way. The Harden, Lillard, and Rose lines all have sick designs, are reasonably priced (compared to Jordans which just keep going up), plus they have the comfort of the Boost sole. I'm not sure how well they sell to the public as I always manage to pick up a pair on clearance, but I recommend anyone to check them out.

 

[Mortemis]

Yeah I see a whole lot of adidas on my school campus. Boosts are big, love them myself.

 

[whitemex88]

Adidas designs overall are way better than Nike.

 

[Dynomutt]

Macklemore tanked the Jordan Brand...

Still fire....

 

[Doc Holliday]

Man, I'm surprised ultras and yeezy look fugly as f.

 

[Puck Beaverton]

Adidas is nice

 

[blakep267]

I can't justify the price for buying an Ultra Boost.

What's so good about it?

This is how I feel. I shrug at the $190 Jordan price tag but ultra boosts are $180 so I shrug also

I can buy some cheap vans and wait for the jordans to go on sale for the price of Uktra boosts and still have some left over cash

 

[MegaManTrigger]

I think its more YMMV. Some of the Nike stuff like the Flyknit Racers and Flyknit Mariahs look amazing (personally, I'm not a fan of the Jordan silhouettes, whereas stuff like Lebron 15s has me hyped), while Adidas's Ultra Boosts look nice up until you reach those crappy 3.0s with the translucent cages.

 

[Usobuko]

Adidas is superior to Nike too.

What do you think about the "Ghosts"...?

 

[MaximumSpider]

I find it more scary that Ye can predict the future in some of his lyrics

🤢🤢🤢

 

[Rice-Eater]

Adidas is my favorite shoe brand, but they don't seem to give a shit about people with wide feet. I tried many pairs and none of them fit well. I was still stubborn and bought a pair but had to return it because they were choking my feet to death. I was even dumb enough to wear the last pair to work for an entire day. The pain was unbearable.

Just some of my pick ups this year...you're welcome Adidas.

 

[-KRS-]

Weird, I actually just bought my first pair of Adidas shoes last month.

Always wore Nike before, especially the Cortez model since they're comfortable and I like simple looking sneakers. But I was getting some work shoes and thought I'd take a look at some sneakers to wear on my free time as well. But all the Nikes they have in stores these days seem to be these overdesigned, neon colored messes of shoes. Then I saw a pair of Adidas Neo Chills in black that looked just like what I want and got those.

 

[causan]

I'm not really into shoes but I saw Garnett Lee rocking a pair of these Addidas NMD R1 Japan Blacks and I been itching to cop a pair myself

 

[jts]

The one time this is adequate and everyone sleeps on it smh

 

[cromofo]

Get with the times America

 

[acohrs]

this is false

Jordan's still sell out on release.

it's just adidas is way more poppin now.

Very few jordans still sell out at release now.

 

[acohrs]

Ya know adidas joggers look nicer but because all I own are Nike and Jordan sneakers I think it would look weird? Am I overthinking this?

Yes, wear my tech fleece with ultraboost every weekend, no fucks given

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

Not surprised. NMD's are amazing.

Bravo.

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

Double post sorry.

 

[acohrs]

Glad to see nike responding though with air vapormax, jordan brand though... what business sense is there in releasing 20 year old shoes at same prices aor higher than air vapormax and ultraboost, best nike and adidas tech, madness!

 

[TurtleSnatcher]

<3 my NMDs. Best shoes ever.

 

[Paracelsus]

That bump on the front of the midsole looks a bit jarring, and I know they made it both because they look straight out a mecha anime and to counterbalance the literal bumper in the back, but yeah, they'd look better without any of that gaudy thing.

That said I own roshe and they're worth the dime, are yeezy's worth the extra 30-40&#8364;? Because the entry level doesn't seep to be as cheap as the nike equivalent.

 

[RespectThySole]

Dat Yeezy influence

 

[ReplacementPelican]

First the alt-right and now Nazi shoes. Good going, America.


I actually always feel a bit lost in these threads, I don't really wear trainers but I know a lot of people who do. I've always seen sports footwear as for sports and not fashion.

 

[Ryne]

Now only if my feet werent so damn big I could maybe buy some of these

 

[Shig]

So Adidas beat a line of shoes from Nike but is still losing to Nike? Kind of an oddly-defined distinction.

It's like Burger King saying their sales are bigger than the Big Mac. They're competing with McDonald's at large, not a cherry-picked slice of their menu.

 

[MistakenMobius]

Literally wearing Adolph's shoes.

 

[Rawr Its Ry]

Boost is life. Very very hard time going back to other shoes after wearing UBs and EQTs now. (Asics GLV's not bad tho)

Do you still call Germans jerries too?
