I think we should go "off the wall" and ink a deal with Vans.

U’re conflating this yr w the last few yrs. Lol. Do u know y? It’s b/c both Harden & Ant’s shoes are from Yeezy archives. They hit an absolute home run w them both, although Harden shoes crease & crack after a couple of wears like crazy.

U’re also conflating YNs w Athletes; two totally separate genres of mindsets. These YNs r trying to convince u that wearing Nike Tech sweatsuits w a Nike Pooh Shiesty mask & Avia shoes from Walmart is drippy. Lol

Confirmed by several ppl w/in the youth basketball leagues:

AE1 low shoes r trash af. Not exaggerating, but 12 different individuals between the age ranges of 13-40 said they provide zero cushioning, u can feel the floor when making cuts, & running. The oldest individual said it feels like ur achilles could pop at any moment. He said the difference better LBJ 22 & AE1 is by far the cushioning and response.

Everyone is going to be different and for me personally Nike is far superior in the activities I use them for - Basketball, Dunking, Lifting, Sprinting, Field Jumps, and ya know, casual fashion. And I would say for Basketball and Dunking sessions the only brands that can even sniff Nike are Jordan ( I consider it different than Nike), New Balance, Li-ning, and Anta. But I'm also a slim guard who has a narrow foot.

But it is as simple as everyone is going to be different. For me, the Ja 2 is the greatest basketball shoe ever made but a lot of people hate it. The Harden and AEs had either lacing or heel slippage issues for me and they were a hard no pretty fast. But the GT Cut, Sabrina 2, KD 14, Kobe 5 and many Lebrons are just so far superior to anything Adidas made on the court.

I also find Li-ning's Gamma, WOW, 808s, JB2s, and Son of Flash far superior to anything Adidas. The Son of Flash is the only shoe I use playing outdoors. The issue with Li-ning is the sizing and not being able to try them on in a store before buying. Anta's Kai 1 and 2 are also far superior to Adidas. And again the issue with these is being able to trty them on

Wouldn’t it?! lol. In more than one way, too. Adidas’ current CEO is the former CEO of Puma. IMHO, this would be no different than Adidas merging w Reebok. Their value is more of a liability, but it would help Adidas corner the international futbol market, though.
