Nike and Adidas are two famous brands of sports gear, shoes, and clothing that we see on people everyday. Have you ever been conflicted over which type of shoes to buy out of the two brands? Well some of our own tritonians were happy enough to voice their opinion on which one they prefer.

Out of a class of fourteen, twelve students said they would rather buy Nike shoes and two said they would buy Adidas shoes. Junior Erin Drew says that Nike has more comfort in their shoes and she feels that there “light on her feet” when she wears them. Drew not only likes the look and designs Nike makes but the signature Nike stripe that is on every item they sell.

Senior Shannon Lanphear also would buy Nike shoes over Adidas. “They feel airy when I wear them. Breathy! That’s the word.” Lanphear says.

Drew and Lanphear may be in favor of Nike shoes but seniors, Maia Perry and Matt Toppi say that “all Nike shoes look the same. Adidas has a greater variety.” Furthermore, their sneakers have interesting performance supports such as ultra boost and alpha-bounce. Nike and Adidas are always creating new, popular and different products to intrigue their customers.
