Honestly, get rid of the orange and make it a white and green pair, and I love them even more. The stripes being orange is a lot to digest. Then again, I've always been more partial to the green in our color scheme, it's tough to rock that much orange without it looking some kind of safety manager uniform.

What am I arguing here?

You're the one who drops bombs, runs away, and then acts like you didn't say what you just said. You claim that you're unbiased and you don't have an axe to grind, but your posts indicate otherwise. If you just said some pro-adidas stuff, that would be one thing. But EVERY ******* TIME you've gotta unload your bowels on Nike, and it's just getting weird.

The internet is forever.

I almost appreciate his trolling. We've both discussed how we wear both and want the best deal for the school, BUT... anyone that walks into a Jordan Brand stadium store vs. Miami's Adidas and thinks our gear is better is blind or lying. If we are going to be forced into this, I want the school to get more out of it and not less... We shall see.

Congrats on finding the same thing I just said. Adidas helped. I don't see anything there saying Adidas is THE reason. Honestly you are making a strawman argument. I think you'd prefer if Adidas wasn't helping so you can trash the brand.

The uniform is an even bigger mismatch 🤣 it truly is hilarious how far away adidas is in the uniform game compared to Nike/jordan

I just think it's hilarious watching so many people worship a brand like it's the most important thing in their life. Meanwhile that same brand is negative 7 going on 8 quarters and go to any shoe store and Nike and Jordan's are on clearance everywhere. The outlets are giving them away. I watched a video a few weeks ago that I don't care to find of a Nike shoe guy going to the mall and wondering why all Nike's were on sale and seemed dead. He goes to ask the sales reps in several stores what's selling and they all say New Balance, Hoka, etc. He's like wow New Balance is the move. But yeah we have to sign with Nike because it was cool 40 years ago when they had Jordan. Let's sign with Sears cause that was the sh*t 70 years ago. Let's call KMart too.

Better than electrical tape design.

Point is it took 3 seconds to make a better looking shoe even if not to your own liking. A multi million dollar marketing team with months to come up with a design should have done a whole lot better than what they did.

I think orange base would be an interesting pop of color

Or just limit the stripes to one color like you said and have the adidas insignia be the other color.

Hopefully they can put something better together

Doesn't seem to help Nike sell product. I'm just the messenger.

Those Nike's/Jordans are clean. Adidas in general has some awesome colorways which tend to be clean. Those Adidas kicks are too flashy for me but also not sure why anyone would buy a pair of EVO SL as a comfort shoe. That's a high performance runner that should be used for training/racing only. Adidas could just go with all white and green 3 stripes and keep it clean. Dropset Pro would be much better.

I don't ever pay $160 for runners. That's just dumb. It's a product with a 3-6 month life. I buy whatever brand I can find on sale and have fun experimenting.

A good pair of runners are PERFECT for casual use. Why? Because for many people, they are comfortable as **** and will last forever, because they will have a ton of low stress miles put on them. I've had some runners for years on end, I can likely count on one hand how many times I've actually run in them, but they get rocked often. For most people, it makes more sense to wear runners casually, compared to a pair of basketball shoes.

It's impossible to build a market for these shoes that center around serious runners, there aren't nearly enough of those people out there. That's why these shoe companies have started advertising these shoes to the general market. It's nothing new, the original Air Maxes were designed for serious runners, they realized that people liked how they looked and advertised accordingly.

In regards to the newest drop, I like them(Outside of the orange), but I am a bit disappointed that they moved away from the boosts, which are far and away my favorite Adidas silhouette. They are comfortable, light and go well with my preferred style. That said, I also understand that style is becoming passe, and Adidas is moving towards what the consumer wants.

If someone wants to walk around in a $160 high performance lightweight shoe or the year then go ahead. I run in my expensive runners only. There's tons of inexpensive runners that are planty soft for walking and look great. In fact trail runners do that job better IMO. I just got a pair of New Balance 410 V9 for $30 mostly to use for work. Insane kicks for the money actually. This saves my New Balance Hierro's for doing the job they were designed for. I just don't see the wisdom of blowing money for no reason.

But hey do what you want.

Couldn’t agree more about runners being good for casual use, especially if you walk around a lot. The technology in running shoes has become so advanced, and the market segmentation on these shoes is broad enough, that you can find a pair of running shoes that will work as a daily trainer and as a casual shoe for walking around and shopping or doing whatever.

No you wouldn’t wear your race day shoes as a casual shoe because the geometry and the way they are constructed don’t lend themselves necessarily to a walking around shoe, but any of the myriad of daily trainers from all the major companies can be used as comfortable walking around shoes, and if you have problems with pronation or stability, you get one of the stability versions. As far as Jordan’s or AF1s or others, mainly basketball shoes, these are the least comfortable. Not gonna lie, I have a few Jordans myself, I find them to be the least comfortable if I have a long day walking around.
