Nike may still be king, but their crown is tarnished. As far as quality. Our school went with Adidas. Nike stuff is crap. I've actually worked for both companies. Nike's competition (UA, NB, Puma, Adidas) almost made them a monopoly by cutting their athletic budgets but in the past couple years those brands have finally put money into athletics and it has recovered some of the market but its what they would've already had prior to giving up on athletics. The only decent comp to Nike is Adidas and thats only from a technology standpoint and price point. Nike design is what keeps them on top and they've actually started to create more substantial tech.

Fru Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 I know Adidas has gotten significantly popular lately. But I'll never be able to forgive them for how terrible they were in my formative years. 1 Quote Link to comment

teachercd Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Yeah, I guess UA hurting. It seemed like they had made all the right moves from when they started until now but I guess they have made some poor choices. Quote Link to comment

They spread themselves too thin and they've completely, 100% missed out on the renaissance of urban streetwear culture that Nike and Adidas have been crushing. Plus they haven't been able to successfully capitalize on any of their big celebrity endorsements. As much grief as I've given Adidas over the years, they've really turned it up over the last 5-6 years. 2 Quote Link to comment

Even Champion is huge again. Quote Link to comment
Toe Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Under Armour always seems like they can never quite figure out what they want to be. For a long time, they talked up how they were purely a brand for athletes, and not a lifestyle/fashion/athleisure brand like Nike and Adidas. But as they grew, their products kept creeping more and more in that direction. They made a big push to be a featured brand at Kohl's - not exactly a store that caters heavily to athletes. But they still seemed to only halfheartedly embrace the non-athletic side of things that Nike and Adidas do well. Quote Link to comment

Hypercolor would be an improvement from a shade of green that should have died back in the 80's. Quote Link to comment
