Where did I say Nike didn't have more top selling shoes? Most of the shoes on that list, we wouldn't even touch since they aren't shoes the sneakerhead market would wear.

Curiously, did you see the comment I was replying to before you typed out this mess? I was replying to the following statement:
"Yeah but there growth solely lies with BOOST technology. If Adidas make a shoe without boost the sales aren't that great. In my opinion Boost and collaborations keeps Adidas a float and to me it's boring."

We talk about innovation all day like these sneaker companies are riding the "innovation wave" to the top and 80% of the top selling sneakers are boasting 20+ year tech inside them.

Growth lies in the fact that the casual sneaker is on the rise, and adidas is putting out waves of them. Boost is a part of it but it's not the only reason
I was addressing the "it's not like non boost models don't sell". Boost sells for the scale it's produced in. Ultra boosts were flying off the virtual shelves because the sneaker head market which was/is 99% of its buyers was bigger than the quantiy coming out. Scale up production And they sit.

Exactly. Adidas is not "staying afloat" because of Boost. Boost was innovative but I think Adidas' creative approach to collaborations and outside-the-box thinking (I.e. Futurecraft) is probably the most innovative thing they've done as a brand. It's kind of crazy Adidas is even a factor in the sneakerhead market, given how much money and time the Nike/Jordan machine has behind it.

Do you guys know how many Adidas threads there are on NT? Take that **** over there. Y'all been dragging this nonsense out for days.

longer than days bro cuz it's literally in all the Nike and JB threads. I don't mind the talks but all people seem to care about is demand coming back to Nike so that "sneakerheads" can approve of what they wear.
People be saying "Man, Nike gotta find a way to bring the hype/demand back" but for what reason? So we can all complain like we used to about instant sellouts online so we can complain about resellers and bots eating up shoes so we have to pay high resale prices again? I honestly don't get why people care so much about that lol because they would probably be the first ones to complain about it and wish for when hype wasn't there

Most people on this thread don't own this shoe so they don't know the overall leather quality is better than SBB. Hell most people on this thread don't own the SBB's.
