Nah, I am always thinking like a kid...lolOriginally Posted by 3onPar5
Some dont like the Puppet commercials, and thats fine but are you maybe "thinking like an adult" to much. My son loves them, thinks they are great. Not that he is the be all end all but he is in that younger generation that the companies covet so much.
Off the top of my head....Originally Posted by 3onPar5
I am just curious (because i really dont know) what tech is adidasdoing tech-wise that is great and new? Last thing that comes to mind isthe bounce concept. Which came out after shox and seemed like a rip-offof the shox tech.
Yep. I'd like to see how much Nike apparel that a D I C K s / Sports Authority / Foot Locker RTV's (return to vendor) back to Nike. I bet with the increase in product over the years the amount has to be much more.Originally Posted by RockDeep
Nike did it withsome of their latest non signature stuff but if you have ALOT of yourretailers having to put stuff up on Clearance and Nike itself see's itsOutlets staying stocked, something should be considered.
Well, Nike sued adidas and lost.Originally Posted by FLINTGREY
Bounce: Their most widely used cushioning system on high end models in their hoops and running lines is this technology (Micro/Super). And yes, it is a straight rip of Shox, no matter how they sell it....

You are right - Miami was wearing Nike in their Bowl game Dec 29th vs Wisconsin....Originally Posted by MP23
Flint, when did Miami switch to UA?? I saw them in Pro Combat unis so when was this? I know Hawaii and Utah are former Nike schools, now UA. Boston College is now UA, switching from Reebok, leaving no Reebok schools now in D1. I like this thread a lot, this is what NT is all about, classic discussion without people bashing each other's opinions.
No sweat, fam. I also have retail lengthy footwear retailbackground but now dabble in a different field. Glad you share thepassion tooOriginally Posted by DrewDioxin
Tobe honest I value a lot of what you, Flint, and a couple others have tosay because of the knowledge you purvey. As much as FTL sucks as ajob,I can say that my footwear knowledge actually exceeds a great dealof current employees for the most part and honestly its because I tookmy own time to research the product.
Word.I have only tried on my brother's Bounces and they were comfy. I ammerely making my statement based on the sheer timing of it (Shox first,Bounce second). Appears Nike created it and adidas perfected it.Originally Posted by DrewDioxin
AndFlint, bounce exceeds shox by far,at least in my opinion. The the jutacts a little better when implemented full lenght that shox. Now thetls on the other hand are a different story,I have heard great thingsabout the shox tl line, that is if it's still around.
You (and MP23) are probably right - its probably just a license for apparel. I know for a fact though that Maryland is a UA school.Originally Posted by Crazy EBW
You sure Miami went full out UA? I've seen UNC UA apparel before but they obviously haven't switched. The All American thing was UA sponsored right?

Just to chime in on something you mentioned. BC was/is wearing Reebok this year, but will be switching to UA next season.
