I've found Nike products to have better quality over Adidas. Although, probably the most comfortable pair of shoes I've ever slipped my feet into is a pair of Reebok's.
As for Nike vs. Adidas, I really just buy whatever looks good and feels good when I am shopping. Recently, I have purchased more Nike shoes than any other brand.
Nike.
I do buy an occasional thing or two from Adidas but its mostly Nike for me.
Its not really a preference for the brand, but whenever im in a huge sports goods retailer i find myself drifting towards nike products. I guess i like their designs better.
well when i played soccer,
i had a pair of Adidas predator mania's and a pair of mercurial vapors and the mania's were amazing, vapors garbage. i allways wore my Adidas and occasionally the vapors. i mean i spent 300 on each and i barely wore the vapors.
i do have a pair of Nike soccer shorts i love though.
but, Adidas all the way.
but for running, asics hands down.
I like Adidas for everyday shoes, but if I'm paying full price for athletic wear, I prefer Nike because they have the Livestrong line. So if I pay full price for something, it's nice that 100% of the profit goes to a great organization. 😎
i dont have a preference really.
my running/workout shoes are a pair of nike+ shox
my football cleats are under armour..
my workout gear is under armour and one nike sparq shirt.
and my daily shoes are my dc's or vans. 🙂
In general I'm an Adidas person, but the best set of Soccer/Placekicking spikes I've ever owned were Nike's.
That being said, I'm pretty sure I have Shoes, pants and some sort of shirt from either brand. Head to Head, I'm a little partial to Adidas. Their shoes last forever and my Sambas are absolutely great!
nike is my favorite brand for workout clothes... comfortable and cute! 😛
for workout shoes i'm all about new balance and until this weekend i wore new balance running shoes, too... however i decided to give nike shoes a try.... we'll see...
