There are as many brands as there is ants in the world, but the two brands that pop out are adidas and nike. Those two brands have been going head to head for ages to see who is the better brand. It’s been tested, compared, and debated which brand is better. Whether it’s the quality of the materials or the cost of it, the debate is ongoing. Both brands have been fighting for the top ever since they were both created and I don’t blame them it’d be fantastic to be the best brand in the world.

Adidas have collabed with one of the most sensational artist out there and his name is Kanye West. Kanye West has brought up a whole new level to the shoe game and sponsorships. With creating one of the best designer shoes in the world, The Yeezy, he has singlehandedly changed the Adidas brand forever. “Kanye West is probably the most influential artist on the planet right now and sports adidas – even though the stripes are missing on his own Yeezy line.” (9 Reasons why adidas is better than nike.) No one wants to get the Lebron 13’s or Jordans when yeezy’s are out there. Adidas have several sponsorships/Collabs and they are revolutionary, way more than …show more content…
Nike has the most uncomfortable shoe out there and that is the Jordan shoe. They’re so many complaints about it being the worst shoe to wear, because of the comfort of the shoe, the padding is just horrendous and you’re unable to wear the shoe for hours. Adidas on the other hand has boost technology which is hundreds of nuggets of super-springy thermoplastic polyurethane. What it basically does is it absorbs all the stress of your feet pounding against the pavement. Almost every shoe is made with boost technology, especially the yeezy shoe, which makes it one of the most comfortable designer shoe out there. “BOOST is adidas’ most innovative cushioning technology using a material called thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) that compresses under pressure for better shock absorption and instantly bounces back to its original shape.”(What is Adidas BOOST technology.)
Adidas and Nike will be a forever ongoing topic of which brand is considered the best out of all. They’re many flaws to Adidas and Nike but Adidas is for sure better than Nike due to all the reasons listed. It doesn’t matter at the end though because the customer is always going to choose what they want whether or not they have read this. Adidas has shown to be one of the top brands in the game but without its contender, Nike, it would be nothing at

Under Amour Company ventured into a market segment that was overcrowded, it had thousands of companies that competed against each other. Out of the many companies involved in the trade, the two most formidable threats seemed to be orchestrated by Nike and Adidas. These are two giant sports apparel and footwear, which pride themselves as having been long term veterans in the industry.

This makes it the largest athletic shoe and apparel seller in the world. This company has seen major expansions in outlets throughout the world over the years.

Nike’s goal is to remain unique and different from others in terms of the items offered on the market. Arguably, Nike belongs to a monopolistically competitive market as there only a few organizations with the ability to regulate the amount charged for their product which means they cannot make their prices high as this is likely to make customers move on to other available choices (Nike, Inc., 2012). However, Nike can find a balance between the prices to charge for their products and remaining competitive with other companies in the industry. Nike has formed a distinction between the appearance and performance of their footwear and that of their competitors. Although products are differentiated from other companies, they still influence each other because they are items of the same
Many global companies like Nike, Inc. are seen as role models both in the market place as well as in society in large. That is why they are expected to act responsibly in their dealings with humanity and the natural world. Nike benefits from the global sourcing opportunities, therefore areas such as production and logistics have been outsourced to partner companies in low-wage countries like China, Vietnam, Indonesia and Thailand. As a result the company is limited nowadays to its core competencies of Design and Marketing.
It’s because when I sport the Nike swoosh, I feel as if I representing the Nike brand and the beautiful, driven, fit women I see in their advertisements. Feeling this way gives me the inspiration and confidence to play my best. I feel as if I identify with the women in the advertisements by wearing Nike. “The relationship between persons and the product remains one of the most crucial signifiers within advertisements. Persons in advertisements supply the consumer with a certain identification frame—whether the person is presented as a user or is presented within a lifestyle setting, the viewer is invited to identify him/herself with the presented person.” 202 Brand Culture. The Nike brand does a great job at doing this to their consumers to create brand loyalty. Nike brand users, just like myself, see the athletes using the brands and feel a certain connection to them. Brand loyalty should not only be a goal for brands because of the benefit of having their logo advertised on consumers who fit within their target market, but also for PRICE SOMETHING ECONOMY

From their marketing strategies to their selling philosophies, Nike has developed one of the most recognizable and demanded name and logo tandems ever created.
But what makes people buy the name brand Nike? They have great advertisement. I love to watch Nike commercials; they appeal to me as an athlete. The commercials show the inner fight in people, breaking records, becoming a stronger person, being the best you, and being the best athlete; you can be overcoming anything. I find their advertisement to be very inspiring and motivational. The Nike slogan ‘Just Do It’ plastered on so many products inspire others to get out and ‘Just Do It,' no hesitation. Nike tries to appeal to you to buy their products by placing their apparel on professional athletic. Everyone knows Lebron James he has many young athletes that look up to him and want to be just like him. What do they see Lebron James wearing? Nike apparel, for the kids that want to be just like him, they want what he has. So they want the Nike look. For me personally, I see Nike products and logos at just about all sporting events, which is a great strategy for the business.
