    Doesn't jordan brand sell basketball shoes? Comparing all of Adidas to Jordan brand seems like a bad comparison.

    "Black Man's Prized possession" You really are outta touch and know nothing about he black community so dnt make idiotic comments like that. Everyone wear's Jays not just black men we buy them cause we we like to look good not bc its a prized possession you can literally get jordan's anywhere stfu with your stereotypical passive aggressive BS

    No, not everyone wears Jordans. They are average shoes like Nike. And no, they dont look good.

    no doubt, but of course the media is trying to shade harden and say it was kanye, kanye has been with adidas for years, and nothing ever happened, wasnt until adidas got the big fish in harden did adidas's fortunes change for the better. ESPN's likes the mention that Nike missed with Curry, lol Nike really messed up with Harden, who is more marketable than Curry. and stands to make way more than Curry in the future off the basketball court, because he is the man on his own team

    Lol I told y'all the new gen doesn't give a F about Jordan. Jordan is old and fat, the teenagers today won't grow up idolizing him.

    There was a point when people stopped buying Jordans for basketball exclusively. Jordan has evolved into a style brand too.

    A lot of it is cause youngrr people don't like wearing basketball shoes with their casual wear anymore. It's not even the Yeezy. The biggest sellers by far are the ultraboost and NMD which are hella tight as casual shoes but would probably break if you tried to play ball in them. Nike on the other hand doesn't really do fully "style only" shoes. Their closest things are either skateboarding shoes or running shoes. In aesthetics alone Adidas totally smokes Nike and it isn't close right now.
