    If this is his shoe, I would like to see other color ways. I can’t wear these with anything. Well honestly I could probably wear them with everything, but that’s the problem lol.

    Curry shoes are better than most Nike shoes for performance basketball. The traction and great heel to toe curve platform is amazing. Only thing close are the Westbrook why nots

    No lie they look horrible. But the budget currys look a lil better, maybe grandpa running shoes. Curry probably eats his chicken with no seasonings.

    LOL

    Terrible take.

    White folks love boost running shoes and NMD's.

    Just because they don't have a great basketball shoe does not mean they are like UA.

    They also have Reebok now and Iverson's are doing great.

    Calls other posters takes terrible when you’re the one that has no clue what you’re talking about again. Shocking!

    Adidas does not own Reebok.

    I think he was referring to the impact and presence in the NBA. Adidas is still an outsider, has not really had anything truly iconic when it comes to basketball sneakers. Kobe was the biggest signing and he left fairly early in his career to Nike. Nike's revenue is 2X adidas, and if you were to isolate Nike basketball vs. Adidas basketball revenue, my guess it would be closer to 10X. Adidas is a soccer brand, and the post you responded to the person is absolutely spot on in that Kanye is the only reason Adidas is this relevant in the NBA. Kanye's bball shoe is the most recognizable adidas bball shoe. Because of his influence on hip hop and fashion, players end up accepting deals. If you look at what the players who sign with them wear off the court (we know they want to be wearing Nikes but cant) they wear Yeezy's off court or they mostly wear other designers (i.e Dior, Balenciaga, etc) I think PJ Tucker even said he had deals from other brands for a lot more money, but he couldnt go without wearing his Nikes. Any player who is known to have a massive sneaker collection worth a dime, 99% of their shoes will be Nike.

    What do Nike players wear? Well they wear Jordans, SB Dunks, Off White x JB, Travis Scott x JB , they have an endless supply of desirable Nike shoes Every NBA player would prefer to be with Nike, but it comes down to money. Pretty much every Adidas major basketball shoe deal the past 2 decades has been a bust except for maybe Harden and maybe Dame?. They gave Dwight Howard $200M and no one here would be able to pick his shoes out of a lineup. D-Rose got his $200M and they are still paying him and he is promoting a shoe no one would know is his.
