So looking at stock performance, brand recognition, hype, and what they did for Miami you think Nike was the move? Yeezy, Ultraboost, NMD, Human Race, Pharell, Pusha T, Harden, along with Miami is the move right now. Ultraboost sales and hype around Adidas in general is crazy. Nike rely's on retros and Presto's and that is it. We got Adidas on the upswing like they figured they got us.Hater.
No shame in my game. I'm a huge Nike fan.

Stock performance is a bad comparison. Adidas doesn't trade on the US market. Even if we did follow that, Adidas loses their NBA deal this year and Nike gets it. It's going to really hurt Adidas and help Nike
Second, Harden just dropped a shoe and it got BAD reviews. The first ones got clowned. It is no where near ready to compete with Bron, Kyrie, or Kobes. Paul George just dropped and has had better reviews. The only shoe in the NBA keeping up with any of those is Currys. And somewhere down the line, Nike will capitalize on Westbrook and drop his Jordan line.
Third, Adidas got mad lucky they got Kanye. If they hadn't I don't think they would have gone on this run. All the shoes you mentioned minus the Stan Smiths really took off once Kanyes set the tone.
I would also say Nike relies on much more than Js and Prestos. Air max, Roshe, sock dart, Frees, and their basketball lineup are all hot! Js will always be relevant and they will keep dropping them.

Lucky they got Kanye? Its called business, and here you go naming old *** shoes again Roshe, Air Max. Their bball line up is hot? You okay in the head? Their **** brand new bball shoes are in outlets because they don't move. Stock price is relevant along with moving of the brand. Look around how many kids rock Adidas everything now? Who is the sponsor and gear for the biggest 7v7 team in FL? I will tell you it isn't Nike. Lillard along with crazy explosive are 2 of the best shoes on the market for bball. The new Kobe and Kyrie 3 are hot garbage. Sock darts had hype for 30 seconds and died.
I get it you live and breathe Nike for some reason, but the last 2-3 years Nike hasn't produced anything game chaning. 4 of their 5 top shoes were retro's remakes in 2016 Space Jams, Flu Games, Banned 1, cement 3's,and all of them except the Acronym Presto. Overall Nike does nothing but survive on the name. They don't even push technology anymore, the last thing they did was Zoom and how old is that? Also most of their releases sit on shelves now cyber 3s, yin/yang 1, wool 3, wool 12, alternate 12's, blackcat 6's, every labron, every kobe, and every other shoe that wasn't super hyped 15 years ago sits around waiting to hit outlets.
Yall really talking bout **** that doesn't have anything to do with this OP.
