Thoughts on wearing different athletic brands at the same time (ex: Nike kicks with adidas pants)?

Do you care about mixing athletic brands of clothing (i.e. Nike w/ adidas, adidas w/ ASICS, etc.)?

This might sound crazy to some people, but since I was a teenager (many moons ago) - possibly even before that - I've never liked wearing different athletic brands at the same time. For instance, if I'm wearing Nike shoes, I only like to wear Nike sweats. The only exception would be something that doesn't have a visible logo on it. Maybe it's OCD-ish, but it just seems weird/corny to me.

This rule doesn't really apply to non-athletic brands. For instance, I don't care about wearing a Supreme tee, Bape hoodie, with a pair of Nike sweats mixed in. But throw in a pair of ASICS and it just doesn't work for me. Honestly, over the past few months, I've kind of felt this is stupid and not that big a deal (in relation to clothing issues; obviously, mixing and matching clothing is NOT an "important" issue, so please don't start with those kind of comments... thanks!), but I still find myself unable to mix athletic brands. It mainly is annoying when I want to go running, as I have a lot of ASICS runners but zero ASICS pants/shirts. Besides that, all runners look great with Nike Tech Fleece, so it would be nice to be comfortable rocking some GLV's with my Tech Fleece sweats.

Anyways, am I alone in this preference, or do you guys feel similar? I wonder if it's something that's more prevalent with 80's babies like myself, whereas younger kids don't really care about mix-matching. I do see a lot of younger celebrities mixing brands all the time. Come to think of it, I've seen some older cats doing it too, but mainly cats that were born in the 70's or older...
 
I am the same way and even felt weird when I wore nike shorts with my jays as a teenager. I just stick to nike now lol
 
My clothing is never the same brand as my sneakers unless im running.

Or if its a jersey....like adidas soccer jerseys for example.

I think its fine tho as long as its not extreme like an adidas tracksuit and sum xis but it depends on the shoe.

Yeezy boost for example u could rock wit any brand up top

I'm not going to wear the same brand from head to toe. Unless i'm hanging around the house and have on a nike shirt, shorts, and maybe socks and shoes.
 
It doesn't matter at all imo. Keeping the brands together is just a rule to help those that need rules to dress. The only thing I do mind mixing is socks. Gotta have the left foot match the right
 
All Nike= acceptable
All Jordan= No
All Adidas= Acceptable unless you got shell toes on with it
Nike+Jordan (Nike clothes, Jordan shoes)= acceptable
Jordan+Nike (Jordan clothes, Nike shoes)= Unacceptable
Nike+Adidas= Only acceptable with nike shoes
Nike+Puma= No

I think I covered everything
 
Some traditional cat's hate this mix with all there heart :lol: :rofl:

See Adidas pants with Nike shoes often doesn't bother me at all

I do this all the time. 99% of the people who care about these things are the dudes you see in the gym dressed up in Nike tights under their shorts along with flyknits/frees and just take snapchats of themselves for an hour

Why would anyone normal care about coordinating outfits while working out?

I'll mix if the shirt and shoes are subtle(plain) design-wise. The older you get, the less it matters.
 
I wore Nike ball shorts and tubulurs my game was way off at the gym walked out and didn't finish.

Never mix Nike and Adidas tho if I'm at the gym or hooping look good play good can't be doing that with mixed brands
