Adidas, everything ive seen from nike has always been ridiculous and tacky rather than just being ridiculous, plus I like the shapes of adidas shoes more, everything nike makes now is just a basketball shoe with variations, adidas shoes actually look like a shoe, first and foremost.

getting some js wings when i get around to check more of them out but a lot of the js shoes look gross as well, the original js wings had the wings removeable while the 2.0's have the wings stitched on, not a fan of those.

Really depends on what we're talking about. I think Nike kicks the shit out of Adidas clothes wise. Depending on what you're looking for shoe wise, it's really a toss up. Adidas is generally better, but I like some of the Nike shoes if I'm in the mood for something a little less plain (pic related). Also some of the Flyknit shoes are amazing. I think what I have is the Lunar One, and it's a great shoe.

lmao @ all of you who think adidas is even close to nike.

nike's profits are through the roof compared to adidas (which, by the way, fell behind fucking underarmor in the us in marketshare) albeit from selling their low end tacky crap to consumers but its to fund their more high end lines such as, lets count:
nsw, white label, tech, gyakusou, kiger, fragment, acg, htm,

adidas was never named most innovative company ever. nike has a slew of awards.

i'll be the first to admit that some stuff from y-3 is nice, or to appreciate some of adidas collabs with stella or raf. but i'd definitely side with nike if i had to choose.

they make more money because they're more successful business-wise, which allows them to funnel some of those funds into more creative, innovative projects and research.

H&M for example, is using their massive profits to slowly shift their clothing towards more sustainable practices and launch higher end lines such as COS to assert the scandinavian fashion scene on the map.

This, exactly. Nike is much better on every measure I can think of in terms of the products, but Adidas gets everyone except Jun.

(Which, Jun > any of the designers Adidas works with, but as much of a Junhead as I am, all the designers Adidas works with together > Jun.)

My guess? The cultural snob appeal of a European/German brand versus a bunch of Portlandites, possibly better company culture compatibility, geographic proximity to some of the designers, and that they don't straight fuck over their collaborators on production. (See: Kanye.)

Adidas.

A good piece isn't just aesthetically pleasing, it's almost poetic. Look at this ZX100 for example. It justifies its existence by telling a story.

An Adidas shoe tells you what it's about. A Nike shoe just is... in fact, that's almost literally their slogan. Lack of effort, lack of inspiration, lack of soul.

I actually haven't fingerfucked any of the Adidas collabs - well actually some Y-3, but that's sort of its own thing.

I'd assume the quality is on par with typical luxury sneakers of the same price bracket and construction method. I actually don't know either of those for the Adirafs, just 'cuz I haven't looked into them at all. If they were poorly made forum bottomfeeders would've made sure we heard about it.

Also, don't go on geography unless you know the actual factory, that's all I'll say. Chinese immigrants staff Italian factories and their hands are no better or worse than Portuguese or Czech or Bangladeshi hands.
