From Nike, to Adidas everyone has their sneaker preference. Most people view Nike as a fashionable shoe and style oriented (which is why they are more expensive); and Adidas as the performance brand with less pleasing to the eye shoes. Ever since the day these shoe competitors were born, they have been in a constant tug-a-war battle of winning the consumer over. In 1984, Nike signed with Michael Jordan and launched the very first Air Jordan Nike. Lucky for Adidas, according to Forbes, in 2013 Kayne left Nike to sign with Adidas later then creating his Yeezy shoe... YeezySigning Kayne with Adidas has to be the height of compan'ys success so far. When you try to purchase Yeezy's online via Adidas website they are completely sold out. Yeezy Boost 350 sneakers can only be found on eBay as of right now for as much as $2,700... Not sure what market Kayne is trying to sell these sneakers too, unless he is just targeting the multimillion dollar celebrities that could only afford this shoe. Not only did Kayne launch a thousand dollar sneaker, he also is in the clothing industry now as well. Nothing about this clothing line screams "I need this right now", like the sneakers do for me. From a $4,000 coat to a $2,260 sweater, it looks as if you bought it from Goodwill. Since some people worship Kayne like some sort of a God, I am sure people are willing to pay this price to say that they have the brand in their overly priced closet and of course anything Kayne they will possibly buy. One way his clothing line even got off the ground is Kourtney Kardashian; she has been spotted around the Hills in her destroyed sweater dress (which she does rock it by the way).

I am a Nike person myself, but I loved this post! I actually didn't know that Kanye had his own shoe line. I clicked on your link and I love the shoes, but they are definitely pricey. I agree with you on how people want to buy things just to say they have the name brand. It is crazy what people will spend on some things that looks like you could make yourself. I also love how you had a survey. I think that was a great way to get people engaged with your blog! Great post!

I like either! I love the look of both Nike and Adidas! I knew that Kayne had a shoe but I never seen how pricey it was until now! I enjoyed this post simply because the tone shows me that you enjoyed writing about this topic as well! Great post!

This post was really fascinating to me because I had no clue about Yeezy boots sneakers. I have never ever heard of them before. Well, that is really expensive sneaker. I am not a person who likes to workout and all so I do not really know in detail about Nike and Adidas.

I will wear either brand of shoes, I've never really been loyal to just one brand of shoe. But after reading this post it got me thinking and I guess you could say I'm kind of a Nike fan, the shoes that have in my closet are either Nike or Asics. I also didn't know that Adidas was teaming up with Kanye West, that sorta shocked me because of the price of his products. It's hard to believe that a pair of shoes, sneakers for that matter, cost $2,700! That is just unbelievable.
