When dealing with Nike or Adidas being the best, we can have the facts give us our answer. Nike is the world's largest manufacturer of sports equipment, shoes, and clothes. According to Statista, they bring in an annual amount of 34 billion dollars. So as it seems worldwide people would rather wear Nike apparel than any other brand. Nike released its Nike Tanjun shoe which was a smashing success. It was the top selling shoe for the first part of 2018. Also their sports shoes are at or near the top for every sport. The Lebron Soldiers XII SGF for basketball, Nike Freeks for wrestling, Nike Vapor Untouchable 3 for football, and the Nike Zoom Pegasus running shoes. The Nike sponsored athletes are also the best at their sports too. Michael Jordan, Lebron James, Tiger Woods, Kobe Bryant, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kevin Durant, Maria Sharapova, Roger Federer, Serena Williams, etc. Nike is the biggest name brand in the world and I can’t see that ever changing.  

Is Nike really better than Adidas though? Well according to The Idle Man, here are multiple reasons as to why Adidas really is better than Nike. One of Adidas’ most advanced and best sellers is their shoe brand “Adidas Boost”. This specific shoe obviously has the upper hand not just do they have Nike beat because of their advanced technology but their known for having some of the best if not the best shoes for comfort and style. Another of one Adidas’ best sellers is the “Yeezy” advertised by famous rapper Kanye West. This shoe product is one of the more expensive shoes but many people enjoy them and with the help of sponsors Adidas has had the upper hand for a while now. Some examples of the best sponsors are James Harden, Derrick Rose, Damian Lillard, Aaron Rodgers and Lionel Messi. Adidas and Nike will never stop growing but with all the upper hands that Adidas has over Nike that alone shows who the superior and more outgoing brand is.
