Seems there aren't many ppl from the US here. I have to say not many people wearing em in my school either, except like plain white ones and stuff.

Are they more popular over seas, most ppl here wear them AF1's. Those that care about shoes anyways.

the usa is a hype country. just look at boards like hypebeast - adidas sections are almost empty if you compare them to nike.

seen a lot of eastern seaboard folk wearing them, new york too. guess the n**e bandwagon rolls on. the reason you see so many AF1's about is they re-hash them every week in a 'new hot colourway'. yeah right!

In Canada I think you get a lot more people wearing adidas than nike

When I lived in Montreal it was easy to tell US tourists because they all wore Nike. And sweatshirts. And fanny packs.

And those were just the ladies.

lol fannypacks? when i travel i try not to stand that much.

Yea nike basically reigns supreme here usually. I personally think the adidas colorways are much better tho.[/u]


Over there r u guys gettin those funky shoes that are just like cloth with soles on em. Almost like converse all-stars, but even more simpler.

Nike will always be the market leader in the US due to its roots.
Thats why adidas bought over Reebok, to try and break into the US market.
adidas will only ever have a cult status in America.
In America, sports is everything and Nike is probably the biggest sports brand in the world.

hmm never knew they bought of reebok, can't say i ever really cared about em tho.

you have to say that adidas has more than cult status in the US.

They are the athletic supplier to the New York Yankees, all of the NBA, personal sponsor to one of the most famous NASCAR drivers, Dale Earnhardt Jr, personal sponsor to famous MLS player David Beckham...

Massive exposure in the US.

Here in Holland is Nike also the market leader. Superstars are not popular at all to the majority.
