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.

It doesn’t matter how times this is repeated by unbiased sources, but this is precisely why the vast majority of the fans r complaining.

They are also concerned about the quality of fan gear. We have to remember, UTenn wasn’t too long ago w Adidas. What’s ironic is when they switched to Nike, immediate boost in fan apparel sales; the same was w UCLA.

It was funny seeing UCLA fans on UTenn IG roasting them for going back to Adidas, however. Lol. $$$ is $$$; the ? is, will this help them win, & just knowing hidden languages in their contract, I’m wondering what happens to this deal if they don’t fulfill their end of the bargain.

Its funny how this has gone. When Nike made our gear, they could do no wrong- quality was high and materials were good. Adidas makes nothing wearable- comical honestly. Wish they could break the contract sooner but that wont happen. I will just keep buying vintage **** from Nike in the meantime.

Adidas is always testing new things with our practice jerseys... Look what popped up today. Blount wearing a top that looks a lot like the 2000s template. And a subtle “2001” in the old nike font on the collar 👀

It definitely wouldn’t be one of one, if they pursue this design (which I wish they wouldn’t b/c just like Mitchell & Ness, it won’t look the same); but, being that both us & TT r celebrating Centennials, I would hope we get some faux version like TT received a faux/modern version

In the Miami Dade x Adidas IG post, a former Adidas rep posted:

Adidas makes a lot of promises they can’t keep - signed former rep.

I told the homies in my PM that social media has low key fried our memories b/c everything is microwaved. There’s literally nothing Adidas is doing w UTenn that’s revolutionary besides overspending like they often do, just to reneg when things don’t boost their image.

Have we forgotten this, that was promised to UTenn as something revolutionary?

How did any of our athletes benefit from this? Back in 2015, under Mark King, Adidas made a concentrated effort to steal all of Nike’s designers & collaborators, while poaching school after school. They made all these promises, had the streets on buzz…it fizzled w/in 5 yrs, then all the info came out how dysfunctional the brand was, collaborators being unhappy b/c their works were stalled for Yeezy, only.

They promised better unis, more fan gear, more exposure, etc…& what happened was only one school at a time would receive the red carpet, while fan gear became even more limited. Yet, they keep getting away w it b/c once u’re locked in, u’re locked in. However, I noticed A&M didn’t do a long term deal this time around; they were very upset due to Adidas shipping them Miss St gear b/c it “looked” the same. Lol

They've done it before, I remember they did the 90s Texas A&M unis, and did a **** of a job. They looked legit, right down to the screen printed numerals. I liked the attention to detail, even though the material wasn't nearly as smooth as I would have liked.

This jawn is crooked af. Lol. Yes, they did a good job w the screen print, but the Texas A&M is off center which is the “M”is at a different height than the “A.” They are not even on the same plane, & that’s due to a centering error.

With that said, w their new material, I think if they tried to do this again, it may turn out better.

There is obviously bias here due to how dominant this team was…. But I don’t believe you can make a better jersey. Especially with Nike’s modern materials, these jerseys reincarnated would be a work of art

I'm convinced some of you are either insanely overweight or have absolutely no style whatsoever. Adidas may not put out as much stuff as Nike did(Which is funny because a lot that variety never got bought anyway), but there's more than enough stuff for you to be sharp on gameday. Maybe because as I've gotten older, I'm a polo and shorts guy, with the sweatshirts and gym wear being for non gameday, but I've never had a problem finding quality Adidas gear. The one gripe I have with them is that when they hit on a good Player Exclusive design or concept, they will not release it to the general public. I'll never understand why they can't do limited runs of stuff, especially when there's a legit hunger for certain items. Know when to capitalize on something going viral.
