something like this will NEVER happen.
there is a hugh line between swoosh and stripes. nike follow it's own way, and so does adidas.

Just like Reebok eh? If N**e splits Salomon AG down the middle and runs them all seperately they could. i repeat my inital reaction 'f*****g hope not!!'

compare it to nike/adidas earnings

plus, they don't have many popular models except freestyle and princess (there are the ones that i can think of now). nike have dunks and air max/forces, while adidas have superstars, campus, smiths and few more. most money comes from lifestyle shoes now..

Maybe they've just got it wrong and Mike was trying to buy adidas. I don't know who Mike is, but he's probably rich.

Michael Jordan?
The story goes he was ready to walk from nike and join adidas after the jordan 2. he was late for the meeting to see the jordan 3 and only went because his father made him...
guess he liked the shoe.

According to 'Pitch Invasion' Jordan was an adi-head before Noikes came a calling with the greenbacks.
I would be very surprised if adidas sold out to N*ke, who would they compete against? It's like a rival team buying out another teams players only to find no one to play against.
