Nike vs Adidas vs Puma vs Reebok

21Savage

Europe vs America. Which brands do you prefer?

On the EU side we have Adidas and Puma on the American it's Nike and Reebok.

Which brand is on top as we go into 2018? What brand you reppin'?

vicwatson

Huh? Reebok USA? Thought they had a Union Jack as part of their "badge"?

Mr. CooL ICE

Adidas. Would look ridiculous wearing anything else if I'm squatting and drinking kompot with Dmitri and Oleg.

Supreme, Off White, Bape and Palace. HypeBeastCloutGang

Adidas and Puma, two brothers disliking each other, just like Aldi and Lidl

Legit associate it with America.

statto25

Adidas own Reebok so stick them in the Europe pot too

bee06

I would have thought Nike was just as big, if not bigger, than Adidas here as well?

Edit: ah, I see you mean company headquarters now.

I like Adidas and Jordan.

Rockin' a pair of red Hummel's at the moment.



Not seen a decent looking pair of Reebok's in about 15 years.



I'm not a junkie so I do try to avoid anything with an air bubble. . . .

Kappa and Ellesse made a resounding come back

gammygils

Not Nike! Like a BMW. Overrated & over priced. But then again a BMW is comfortable not like Nike

I had to do a ninja edit on that one as the Kappa's are reduced to the garden work stage of their evolution - they do look very similar to the hummels though. . .and a pair of pumas. Where dafuq did all these red shoes come from????

Ahh that's what I meant. UA is horrible. TBH I think Adidas is a bit bland atm. Original a little better but not great.

Will I Am Not

I’m at an age now where brand name doesn’t come into it anymore. 10-15 years ago and it wouldn’t be anything other than Adidas or Nike but now it’s what looks and feels good.

Adidas do make the more aesthetically pleasing stuff, particularly the Adidas Original range.

My current go to trainers are Lonsdale and Adidas. Owned a lot of Puma football gear over the years and I don’t think I’ve ever owned anything Reebok in my entire life, it never appealed to me.

Karrimor is just rebranded Sports Direct muck for a good while now, as is Lonsdale, Firetrap, Dunlop etc.

Birneybau

Vans, Converse, Adidas Originals and a kick ass pair of Air Max '95.

AllForIt

The 3 stripe Adidas logo is always a negative for me especially on their joggers. Not so bad on their trainers if the colour combination doesn't make it stand out too much. Personally my foot seems to fit into NIKE trainers better than Adidas trainers for some reason.

That's Aldi Nord and Aldi Sud, you're thinking of.

It was actually just Aldi that was split up into Aldi Sud (which is what we have) and Aldi Nord.

What about Umbro? :O

Tuco88

Ah Umbro, the 90s classic football thug... Happy days.

I can see em now... Umbro cap with that yellow chelsea jersey with the autoglass sponcer.

Did adidas take them over?

Noveight

Ellesse seemed like a brand that was all but gone but has come back again. Loads of it in JD Sports store.

heroics

Asics every time

Ragnar Lothbrok

Doc Martens :P

For soccer jerseys, it's hard to beat Adidas for looks, with Umbro coming a close second. Hate Nike and New Balance jerseys - they don't belong on a soccer pitch :mad:

DEFTLEFTHAND

Reebok were founded in Britain. Bolton to be precise.

Think Adidas bought them out in the noughties.

razorblunt

Sergio Tachinni for the win.

Must worn item to court apparently.

Lonsdale? Were they all out of Gola and Patrick?

I have a pair of Reeboks. They're uncomfortable as fuck and feel too tight but they've lasted me for a couple of years and are still in reasonable condition. They'd be great if they didn't feel so tight. No other runners I've bought have lasted so long without the sole wearing away to nothing.

Hibernia Gardens

Puma is my favorite

Outlaw Pete

KangaROOS.

Tom Mann Centuria

Puma make Puma Suede. End of discussion.

Greyfox

Nike are the best quality brand of the 4. Yes they are very overpriced but when it comes to comfy runners they can't be beaten

Sportswear/casual dosn't seem to be much in Vogue at the moment thank fuq. Although during nights out over the Christmas I did feeI a bit underdressed as I didn't look like I was a member of the peaky blinders.

cena

Is Nike still a big brand here

What? I think fashion has gone way more casual over last few years. It's kinda lame to dress too up nowadays. There was a time when me and the boys would wear shirts and blazers out, now it's just casual runners, t-shirts and jeans, like clothes we'd wearing to college.

As an example check out Tommy Hilfiger. A brand I'd have always associated with being for old posh dads and farmers, now it's aimed at the street style casual market.

I reckon this will be more noticeable in Ireland over next few years.

I've been a Nike fan for a long time, runners and t-shirts, the odd jacket and for running gear.
But I've recently been trying out some Adidas runners and tops, and I do like them.
The Adidas Originals line have some lovely bits and pieces.
