Lyons in the Sea of Red. Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Michael D. Rose III @MICHAEL_ROSE15 No Nike? There are still people who will still think that it doesn't matter, when it really does, in some kids eyes. Not that it's a big deal. Nike is just the cool thing right now. 2 Quote Link to comment

You had Superstars, T-Mac shoes, Garnett and Arenas, not to mention their HUGE popularity in Europe, especially with more casual wear. Quote Link to comment
zeWilbur Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 As a recipient of the Adidas deal for a few years I had always liked the Adidas better. The clothes don't last as long but they were much more comfortable than the Nike stuff I had. Quote Link to comment

They get it. They get the big picture.” Husker wide receiver Kenny Bell said Adidas' on-campus rep is helpful for special requests or quickly replacing equipment. An example: Bell said he struggles with turf toe, so he requested titanium plates be placed in the toes of his cleats. He got them within days, he said. “There's a difference between guys who care what it looks like and guys who care if it works,” Bell said. “Does Nike have some cool designs? Absolutely. You can't lie. But I love what Adidas does. And I care more if it works and feels good.” 2 Quote Link to comment

I think Adidas is still pretty popular in Europe. Afterall it is a European brand. Hey if you want to be called the greatest of all time you gotta wear Adidas. Ali did... Quote Link to comment
corncraze Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Are we all forgetting how cool Adidas was in the 80s?! You had hip-hop groups like Run-DMC and A Tribe Called Quest referencing their shoes all the time! Quote Link to comment

CheeseHusker Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I would absolutely love for us to bust these bad boys out for our reunion with Oklahoma. I'd be happy with these as our permanent uniforms. Me too. I love the Indianapolis Colt stripes. The stripes have been migrating higher on the home jerseys for sometime anyway. Quote Link to comment
husker07 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 As a young guy, I can pretty much vouch for the idolization of Nike among young people, especially athletes. It is pretty much a lifestyle. Just an estimation, but I would guess if you could poll athletes, something like 80-90% would choose Nike by far. Me personally, I used to be that way too, but then I played at a school that was sponsored by Adidas and really grew to like their stuff. Adidas has great socks and cleats, but Nike destroys them in everything else. 2 Quote Link to comment

They were higher up one year, in 2010, but the last two years have been at normal height. Quote Link to comment
