Na thats literally you the guy who says he buys Adidas because he saw Kanye wearing themYou are a marketing teams dream
If it is literally the reason you bought them then you'd have to be walking around Footlocker in the 90s, saw them on the shelf, thought "wow, these kicks remind me of a Ferrari!", "oh I didn't even notice the Jumpman, these appear to be Jordans".
Just shut up cuz you know it didn't go down like that. You were introduced to the design BECAUSE of Kobe and BECAUSE of MJ. The same way many people were introduced to the Ultra Boost BECAUSE of Kanye. The athelete/celebrity endorsement is meant to introduce consumers to a product, obviously the athelete/celebrity is not the ONLY reason people are buying their kicks. In some cases, maybe. But it's ridiclously hypocritical of you to say anyone who buys Adidas because of Kanye is lame, since you are inferring that is the sole reason. Like you think are the only one that can appreciate "design" because Nike's brilliant marketing team duped your dumbass into believing it was about Ferrarri?
"Kanye is wearing them, I must have them!" looking boyYeah I said that. I said it was good marketing from Adidas to get a celebrity who is known for having good taste in sneakers wear their shoes. That is how I was introduced to the Ultra Boost line. But it is not the reason I bought the Y-3 Ultra Boost ZG or Ultra Boost 3.0 I posted on the last page. I've never seen Kanye wear either of those kicks. I don't own any Yeezys. Only pair I ever had was the Zen 1s.
Your assumptions are just hypocritical.
so y'all dudes really pay attention to what social media kids?I get what @ShawnDaVinci is saying. There's this new breed of "sneaker head" that only live to violently cape for adidas put down Nike like its some new fad. You see it in the boost thread, you see it in the yeezy thread, and you see it in non adidas threads too. For instance, the other day this dude literally made an account to comment in the lunar charge thread to talk about how adidas is the best and Nike isn't innovative and their shoes are trash and uncomfortable. Ironically these stans cape for adidas off the strength of just 3 lines, ultra boosts, yeezys, and NMDs but when it comes to the multitude of other things adidas offers like the alpha bounce or Y-3 or the other tons equally great but no hype adidas models they're now where to be found. Call it making an assumption but those specific types of dudes are lame hype beast trend hoppers and they're all over NT and Reddit and social media. I've got no problem with liking specific brands or models if that's your preferences but those dudes are toxic to any sneaker conversation and contribute nothing.

But everything in my closet is mass produced? It's clear who the herb is and he buys his shoes based on what Ye rocks.If you want to assume that is my thought process that's fine
I know anyone who does the played out "multicolor flyknit" upper on some IDs and engraves their name as "$H@WN" is an herb any way.

i'm 33 years old. I wear what I like. Nike, adidas, etc.
y'all put too much effort making assumptions instead of worrying about yourselves.
you see how hard that dude is going at Henny?

It takes 30 min. to incorporate a business, congrats. Been there done that and we are the same age.Bingo. I'm 27 and I don't have any social media besides NT. I don't know what kids are doing on social media but apparently some people pay attention enough that it bothers them and assume anyone with some of the same gear as these annoying kids must be the same? It's such an absurd and immature assumption. Y'all really have got to find better **** to worry aboutI 'm not in the sneaker/clothing scene like that any more.
I just incorporated a business as $H@WN is IDing rainbow sneakers engraved with his name like those old school h00drat nameplate necklaces birds used to wear back in the day, hating on people wearing Adidas, claiming he buys Kobe and Jordan sneakers because the design was inspired by a car.
Who's the lame?
Do Ye bruhJesus Christ you are dense. I give up. Do you man

I'm not sure if this directed at me because Instagram was responding to me but at no point did I make an assumption about people that wear adidas. I spoke about a specific kind of person that seems to be becoming more and more prevalent on not just social media but on NT as well, which is by far my most used form to date. But play up the social media tidbit if that's what you want to do. I don't care that people have different reasons for buying what they buy, what I don't like is that you can't come on NT anymore and have an objective conversation about sneakers without some coming in and caping for adidas for no reason.
Nah I wasn't coming at you but I was using what you claim to have seen to support my argument. I guess there are some guys out there like that making Davinci so upset he goes in on anyone who wears Adidas.

Who's the lame?
I like good design, if thats lame so be it. To me a grown man buying shoes solely because he saw another grown man with them is lame.
