adidas is buying reebok. that's crazy shizit

[foreigngirl]

I like adidas better than reebok. But I like kappa and umbro the best

useless factoid of the day - the guy that started Adidas is named Adolph (Adi) Dassler. His brother started Puma.

I disagree. Having played competitive tennis for 20+ years, and having tried every single tennis shoe out there, & even done independent testing for one major company (not Adidas); I think Adidas makes overall the best tennis shoes available. Hell, everyone is on the retro bandwagon right now, Nike, Puma, Reebok, etc. Talk about a fashion line, look at Puma... that is now their largest market, especially w/ hip-hop crowd.

What about K-Swiss? They used to make great shoes for tennis when I was rockin' the 16 & unders super champ circuit.

Yeah, K-swiss makes a great tennis shoe, but I can't wear them because of the arch config. . I have a very flat arch: K-swiss = high arch. Good looking & long lasting shoes though.

Adidas sucks nowadays... it is more a fashion line than an sporting line... what with all the retro stuff...

Reebok is decent though.

Still though, I prefer their soccer shoes over Nike, etc...


btw, you're telling me other brands are worn b/c they're NOT fashion lines?

I still sport otns of adidas but I msut admit that it is strictly for fashion purposes not sports/fitness.

Old school, blue suede campus will never go out of style (although they are extremely hard to find now).

I go with Assics or New Balance when it comes to fitness foot wear.

I just bought a nice pair of Reebok Cross Trainers last night. Had a pair of Nike running shoes and they tore the side of my foot up so I exchanged em'. Guess I'll see how they work out next time I do cardio. Just though I'd share that.
