In this edition of Clash of the Kicks, we want you adidas superstar womens vote and let us know which side you re representing. But first, let s take a look at the competitors.So my inbox today is filled with World Cup emails of varying degrees of usefulness. While most of them went straight to the trash bin because my interest in soccer is similar to that of curling and synchronized swimming (even if they don t interest me I respect that people love them).
There were two that piqued my interest because it features the two biggest brands in soccer adidas and Nike claiming victory in Brazil.For the big two, it seemed like the battle was less about who actually won the World Cup and yeezy adidas more about who the people were talking about more on social media and other platforms. However, for the record, it was adidas-sponsored Germany but the player who scored the winning goal, Mario Gotze, is a Nike athlete was wearing the Nike Magista stan smith adidas Boot.
Not that they ve had a reason to go multicolor, however, because everybody loves the utilitarian look of Ultra Boosts and the versatility of their colorways. But for those who see Primeknit as counter programming to Nike s Flyknit, we knew then adidas pulled that ace out of their sleeve it would be huge. But they ve been very conservative in breaking out the Multicolor look, not completely engulfing the shoe in a total kaleidoscopic mess, but rather in bunches.
ÿþWho knew that the adidas samba NFL season opener between the Denver Broncos and the Carolina Panthers would serve as a battleground between adidas and Jordan Brand? Both the three stripes and the Jumpman had something special for their athletes that were competing on Thursday night but one clearly overshadowed the other and it wasn t even close.For the past several years now, adidas has built up their football game through grassroots marketing and celebrity endorsements .
Even going so far as to call the movement cleathead culture. Meanwhile, Jordan Brand has been making their mark on the gridiron with their solid cast of NFL stars, retros on the field and most recently, becoming the official outfitter of Michigan . Sure, it will always be a little weird to see a Jumpman logo on a Michigan jersey, but then again, we had the same hang-ups when baseball players, golfers and NASCAR drivers had the same logo adidas running shoes and now it s as a normal part of a uniform as the three stripes or the swoosh.
ÿþLast week we showed you some photos of the first CLOT x adidas Originals x Stan Smith collaboration. Today, we have another colorway of the shoe which is equally as nice as the first. This one, however, sporting darker colors, with a little more flare.Sporting an all black suede upper, the shoe maintains a neutral look, with a series of perforations down the side, to represent the adidas stripes. Adding color to the mix is a touch of gold on the heeltab, tongue.
