Which of the two brands do you prefer when it comes to sportswear, Nike or Adidas? That is one of those questions that people get asked every single time they talk about sportwear.
And I can't really blame them. Both are good brands, with good reputation, and with good collections. I'm not so much of the sporty type of person, but I do know how to appreciate these brands and what they bring to the table. It isn't so much of a quality issue but more of a geographical issue. Nike is American, while Adidas is European. That presents you a rivalry that transcends brand names and actually goes into geographic rivalry.
Yesterday, I met a friend whom I haven't seen in at least a year and a half. We planned to go on a fancy lunch so I thought that, maybe, I should bring more money than I usually do. But our bill was not that high so that left me with a lot of room for purchasing stuff.
I got off the local mall and tried to look for either Nike or Adidas goods. I just love the texture of their shirts. Also, the fact that the cloth that they use are absorbent and mainly designed for athletes is something that I give a plus to, because I also sweat a lot due to increased metabolism. I'm also not into very intricate designs, so the plain-looking sports shirts of either brand works for me.
So the question is, which of the two brands did I choose? Actually, I'm more biased to Nike. No particular reason. I was just made to like Nike. I don't really buy much clothes until recently, and whenever I do, I go for Nike. But today is a different day. I didn't find any good Nike shirt. Furthermore, there was a discount sale for Adidas shirts, so what can I do? How can I resist a good blue Adidas shirt when I see it? So I found myself making my first Adidas purchase in years. The last time I bought something from Adidas was back in high school. That was a backpack of sorts.
How about you? Which sportswear brand do you prefer?
