NPD: Adidas overtakes Jordan on list of top U.S. sport footwear

Nika have been stale as hell for a while now.

Meanwhile Adidas have been originating and putting out really clean modern looks (Climacools and Yeezys are still incredibly ugly though)
 
Not talking sales. Creatively they have been stale for years. Retros and retro+'s are all they have.

mmk but this thread is about sales and not about creativity.


either way, Nike messed up by not being more open with Kanye. should have treated him like how they do Jordan or Lebron.

No surprise. Adidas killing it with the casual and athleisure market. Yeezys/Boosts,NMD's, Ultraboosts whereas no one wears straight up basketball shoes to work or events or school much anymore and Jordan is pretty much floating on nostalgia and retro designs. Bound to happen. I bought 4 pairs of Adidas this year. No Nike beyond flyknit fee rn running shoes for gym and cardio.
 
Those Adidas may be comfortable as all hell, but they are ugly as fuck. Was never into that kind of sneaker design.

The Sambas and the Mardi Gras Gazelles are alright, though.
