Adidas has been aggressively making relationships with HS and College players. Signing the best players to deals.

Not sure what the heck Nike been doing, but they seem to be sleep at the wheel.

I’m sure the ROI for signing a college kid is next to 0. Maybe Jeremiah can move the needle I don’t think anyone else in CFB moves anything for Nike or Adidas.

My guess is wait to cherry pick kids once they show what they got in college…

Adidas is going to be more aggressive in the states.
 
This is big, recognition is everything as far as brands. Maybe they have extra funds from the old Yeezy trust lol

Nike don’t gotta do sh they good. Adidas has to do this extra sh. We could stay with adidas and kids will still commit to Nike schools. Lol

Just switch to Nike UM, listen to me I know what I’m talking about.

They signed Hollywood Williams, & none of this helps Adidas. Adidas is making the same mistake as b4, which is why even in Nike’s worst yr, & Adidas’ best yr both coming in 2024, Adidas still had 84% less sales.

Nike’s model is exclusivity while Adidas’ model is Oprah (u get a shoe, u get a deal, u get a sponsorship!). What happens is these moves barely move the needle b/c at the high school level they r still going to the rival branded schools generating that brand 10x the profit while they r hoping that same kid stay with them after their college experience is over.

There is literally nothing to see here. This is another rinse, repeat method that previous CEO members of Adidas have tried. Meanwhile behind closed doors, Nike’s stock continues to rise as Adidas’ stock is beginning to fall, & there’s a specific reason y.
 
Bold moves can mean a smart strategic plan or an act of desperation.
They’re trying to beat Nike to the punch on generational talent but failed to sign Cam Ward while he was wearing their sht for a whole year.

Seems like a poor strategy based on desperation.
Just make better gear and stop living on the coattails of classics like Sambas and Gazzelles.

They’re hoping Yamal Continues where Messi left off.
Unfortunately nobody is gonna buy 260 soccer cleats at the same pace people by Jordan’s and dunks.
