QMany Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 You must actually like Nike better than other companies. There are a lot of people that don't feel that way. I do prefer NIKE, and I think more people prefer NIKE than any other manufacturer. Quote Link to comment

I do prefer NIKE, and I think more people prefer NIKE than any other manufacturer. I think the reason most people "prefer" Nike is because they have the best marketing of the major shoe and apparel companies. They throw the money at the best athletes around the world to serve as their spokespeople and walking billboards. Then when it comes time to buy an athletic shoe, people will just go with a Nike.

Pretty much sums it up. They don't have the best stuff across the board. Quote Link to comment
QMany Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Pretty much sums it up. They don't have the best stuff across the board. I disagree, but that is just my opinion. I've played different sports in Nike, Adidas, UA, and some others, and prefer the fit/performance of Nike shoes and apparel over all others. Some of my favorite athletes wear Adidas, particularly in golf, and I won't wear Adidas golf shoes or apparel. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 And, I'm saying...that is your opinion and your entitled to that opinion. However, that doesn't mean the rest of the world feels that way. I have been around a lot of athletes along with three kids who all have been multi sport athletes and honestly, the only time I remember the Nike brand being an issue is with my daughter who runs cross country. She absolutely loved these Nike shoes she just had to have. She spent all last year with leg problems. After seeing several specialists we were told it's the shoes. They all pointed us in other directions than Nike shoes. I have done a lot of running in my life and when I go to a running store, they almost NEVER point me to Nike. I did get a laugh last week when my son was looking for football shoes on line. (he wears size 15, have to order them). He doesn't follow Huskers on line and had no clue about the whole uniform (adidas vs Nike) debate. he hadn't even seen the alternative unis. He went to Eastbay and was looking through shoes. What did he pick out? The same ones the Huskers are wearing this year. I got a good chuckle out of that. My son's HS basketball team ordered team shoes last year. They were Nike. The team ended up hating them. Looked nice. Performed bad. 2 Quote Link to comment

NU re-upped with Adidas in 2013 for about $5.3M of cash and merchandise per year. Indiana probably got more, because the market has driven up the prices the past 2 years. Also, Indiana is a big basketball school for Adidas, so keeping IU had to be a priority for Adidas. Quote Link to comment

If Indiana can get their contract doubled, we should as well. Rumor has it NU refuses to wear candy striped pants thus the apparent impasse. 2 Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Anyone else notice that adidas had a (annoying) commercial directed at their football shoes run about every other commercial break during the 2 MNF games last night? Quote Link to comment

Yeah, I'm having visions of that d-bag in the red Tom Brady jersey popping up in my sleep. Quote Link to comment
