Adidas vs Nike? Which is better?

Adidas vs Nike, which is better? In my personal opinion, Adidas shoes are better. I was using the Nike Free 7.0 for BodyJam and every time after class, my knees and feet will hurt. A month ago, I changed to the Adidas Bounce and I noticed the pain is gone. The cushioning in the Adidas Bounce is really good compared to Nike Free and the shoe comes with an additional pair of insoles in case the first one gets damaged. There is a downside to this shoe, it’s not cheap! It cost RM529 a pair. I’ve been told the Adidas customized shoes are even better as it measures your feet and determines the best form of cushioning. The shoe will cost RM600-700 depending on design. Guess price should not be an issue when it comes to health.

    Hi there, I was attracted by the tittle of “Addidas vs Nike, Which is better”…very interesting subject :)

    I am a big fan of Nike, so I like Nike products and their technology. For this case I wouldn’t say Addidas is not good, but I would rather choose to tell the Nike Free technology :P

    Nike Free is a running shoe and its simulates barefoot running while wearing a shoe. As its allows the muscles in the feet to gain strength by providing less constriction and its also help to strengthen calf and foot muscles.Runner are advised to gradually break into the shoe rather than immediately running long distances as to prevent muscle cramps and other discomfort.This is especially true for amateurs, as Nike Free shoes do not provide as much cushion and shock absorption as the traditional running shoes. The main technology behind the Nike Free is the compressed EVA midsole, which has deep cuts along the entire length so that it bends and moves along with your foot - therefore mimicking running barefoot.

    I personally like Nike Free very much, especially the weight and the flexibility. I have the same problem when I first wearing it, but its all good now :) and am planning to buy a new pair of Nike Free again.

    I think Nike did not do enough to educate the consumer in this part, eventhough they have good products with great technology. They might need to do something on it

    Nike Free is nice but hurts my foot. Especially after Bodyjam. No cushioning.

    i personally like adidas , because basic is better, i like to colour co-ordinate my clothes ,adidas has alot more variety and more of a selection when it comes to the casual look and i dont feel the need to sacrifice comfort over style because adidas trainers are both comfortable and stylish. i dont wear nike but the only trainers i would wear will be the nike high vantage and the air force 1′s, god bless adidas, london

    I’m a very biased person when it comes to sportwear. From my perspective Adidas is better than Nike. The reason I feel this way is this; Adidas is not as majorly competitive as Nike who is their rival brand. Adidas focuses on themselves to improve their products, while Nike is very competitve because they dont want to lose their spot as one of the best brands. Nike is never focused on themselves but instead are always looking for opritunities to be one step ahead than Adidas. I think the main reason for people this favor adidas more is because they can tell that Nike is trying so hard to beat Adidas to stay on top. Feel free to discuss this with me…………….and GO ADIDAS!!!

    the best running shoes are always made of very resilient synthetic rubber*;:

    You’re comparing apples and oranges here, not just brands.

    The Nike Free is a minimalist shoe, meaning it’s taking a few steps in the direction of barefoot running, and is intended to make your feet do more of the work, where the bounce obviously provides lots of padding/cushion, and well… bounce.

    For a fair Nike vs. Adidas comparison, you need to compare similar KINDS of shoes, say the Nike Free and the Adidas FLUID.

    Hi Ollwen, thank you for your comment.

  25. panh yhavong says:
