Anybody Else losing interest for Jordan..Prefer Adidas?

[LosBulls]

I've been wearing Jordans for a long time, I remember getting my first pair in like 2002 when I was like 12 years old and now I'm starting to lose interest...it's like every shoe looks the same now.

Hell, even the Durants and LeBrons out right now from Nike are better than whatever Jordan has out right now which is probably the Olympic 7s.

And the Adidas are cheaper too.

My favorite shoe used to be this:




And now its this...




Anybody else going through this?

I'm a pretty big Jordan fan. My favorite shoes ever are the Concord XI's I have a small fortune invested in many pairs of Jordans too...

With that being said, If it's not a retro re-release IX-XIV than I'm not really interested. I do enjoy the Trunners, but I can't stand the Melo's, CP3's, Wade (even though he's no longer with Jordan). I am anxious to see what the Westbrooks look like though... I love OKC colors.

Adidas is OK..

I like what Nike is doing with a lot of the re-releases like the Foamposite, Pennys, ect.

Hell No

I use my Jordan's on daily basis when I'm out but I don't ball in Jordan's, have never done so either. They're not really suited for basketball, at least not the old school shoes.

Adidas on the other hand, not so pretty but damn so comfortable, love them.

Nike for ballin ... Adidas are garbage for hooping, have been since the late 90's

Anything else I wear is purely for aesthetics

[Hoopz2332]

Hell No

Ey what is that Adidas called

Perhaps the best shoe to ball in I've ever own were those Gil Zero low tops (I know, I know). Mine are worn out like shit. Wouldn't mind picking them up again.

What the last Jordan shoe you could actually ball in? This is a serious question btw, I really don't have a clue. In terms of aesthetics, Jordan has some of the most beautiful footwear I've ever seen. Their shoes are amazing well drawn up, but the build quality/comfort is definitely lacking. They should honestly be ashamed at how shoddy they make their shoes but I guess that doesn't matter as long as people are literally killing themselves just to get in line for one of their shitty shoes.

I've always been an Adidas/Reebok guy and they have certainly made some great shoes over the years. The T-Mac line's peak shoe, the 3.5 was probably the perfect basketball shoe for me. You didn't need laces in them and they were pillow-like in comfort, but still let the user feel enough to make authoritative cuts with confidence. The venting was great as well, my feet never felt hot either.

I would certainly buy more pairs of that great shoe.

Every adidas I've bought has been garbage in terms of durability, though that's admittedly a small amount. Jordans are overpriced (obviously) and aren't any better then the best Nike shoes in terms of on court performance (actually worse probably)

[NumberSix]

LeBron's and Kobe's are much better than them cheap ass Jordan's. sure, a lot of the retro Jordan's look good but they're a cheaply made, inferior product performance wise. Just stick with the normal Nike brand, not the Jordan offshoot.

Ey what is that Adidas called

Adidas Roundhouse 2.0

[Fiasco]

The best shoe for balling is still the Converse Wade.

[flipogb]

Adidas needs more clearance sales, other than that yeah they are getting better and better recently

The best shoe for balling is still the Converse Wade.
