They started creating poor products (without having that big of a reputation in any sport other than football) and also got greedy.

Lol what. Not a chance. Neither of Adidas or UA have ever come close to matching Nike's flagship workout apparel (i.e. top of the line Nike Running apparel). Certainly not in the last 20 years.

Curry got some cool shoes.

Might be true, BUT average Joe isn't buying that top tier nike stuff. They're buying outlet stuff and outlet UA workout gear, quality wise, is better than outlet Nike. JS

Yup that's definitely true also. I can tell all the time people generally are referring to the generic template Nike stuff when they compare each brands apparel.
Nike produces a **** ton of apparel, like 20x greater range and volume than any of its competitors.
Makes it more of a task to know what's what, but it also means the middle and top tier stuff can always be had for 50-70% off the outrageous MSRP if you know what to do.
Never buy low end Nike though. That's a no no.

The story of how Nike lost Stephen Curry is unbelievable
They started by calling him “Steph-on.”ftw.usatoday.com
The pitch meeting, according to Steph’s father Dell, who was present, kicked off with one Nike official accidentally addressing Stephen as “Steph-on,” the moniker, of course, of Steve Urkel’s alter ego in Family Matters. “I heard some people pronounce his name wrong before,” says Dell Curry. “I wasn’t surprised. I was surprised that I didn’t get a correction.”
It got worse from there. A PowerPoint slide featured Kevin Durant’s name, presumably left on by accident, presumably residue from repurposed materials. “I stopped paying attention after that,” Dell says. Though Dell resolved to “keep a poker face,” throughout the entirety of the pitch, the decision to leave Nike was in the works.
When keeping it real goes wrong.

yeah not wearing an underwear company sneaker if I'm the 1 who's paying. for sum reason the company always reminds me of Champion C9, I hated that stuff.
tone down the trim & do this in black or dark blue I think it could be a trend, it is 2020.you say that like it's a bad thing.
