Adidas's Biggest Mistake: Michael Jordan Says It Could Of Been Adidas Not Nike!

[deenyce]

I wish it were Adidas, this forum wouldn't exist and everyone would be hypebeasting over adidas. Huge mistep on Adidas's behalf, HUGE.

 

[pr0phecy718]

adidas talk

 

[alcapone]

You are super late.

But... You have to remember that Nike can market people better.

Adidas can't market for *!#@.

Its like sayin the Rockets would have won 6 championships instead of 2 if they drafted him.

Imagine if Money wore Adidas while playin in Houston.

Red/ Yellow Shelltoes ain't whats up.

Fun to speculate though what could have been.

Adidas and the other companies aren't creative. When MJ sat down with Converse, they tried to sell MJ on being one of the pmany players to endorse theWeapon, and MJ's Father blurted out "Don't you guys have anything creative goin' on?".

Surprised how open Mike was to talk about this subject. Usually, whenever a topic that could hurt his interests even slightly comes up, he either lies ordoesn't comment. I would've thought that he would lie and say "I've always wanted to sign with Nike, since day 1."

qft

Look at this year's playoffs.
Nike goes all out with its LeBron-Kobe puppet campaign.
Dwight Howard make's it to the finals and Adidas doesn't make him a single commercial.

 

[kingjay718]

Adidas could've promoted Derrick Rose too. He had a great series against the C's, yet no pub for him either. Adidas has the horses. The people in theoffice needs to step it up.

 

[frenchblue23]

It's all in this book, but it looks like none of you read it....

 

[not a sneak]

We wouldn't have jordans, thank you MJ and Tinker.

yeah... but dont some of yall think that Jordan HELPED Nike make all that money back in the day to do what they were doing through out theyears...
do you think that Nike would be were they are at now without MJ?... would they have been able to do what they wanted to do without MJ bringing in all thatextra money?...

 

[mben32]

not sure if this was mentioned..

But whos to say that if he was with Adidas, that adidas would make an appealing product for the consumers interests?

Gotta remember, adidas designs are

with the exception of few. so Jordanwould have still been great, but no one would have cared about his shoes.

Kinda like Kobe, who the %+@+ had them space shoes even tho he's your favorite player?
