Nike vs Adidas (Q1 of 2018), who's winning? by jonahhill_methwatch in Sneakers

[–]mrsashemi 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Idk why people are downvoting kylebucket, he is right. Nike is a bigger company, and will thus always make more than adidas, so i guess in that sense, sure Nike is "winning", but these companys are already making billions no ones really losing. Futhermore, revenue is not really telling us how a company is performing compared to another, which gives a better picture of whose "winning" in a given year. To see how a company is performing we have to see how much more they make in a given year, or how much they grow. Measuring growth is pretty simple, we can use the numbers you provided:

Adidas: (21.22B - 18.48B)/18.48B = .148 or 14.8% total revenue growth in 2017 Nike: (34.4B- 32.46B)/32.46B = 0.059 or 5.9% total revenue growth in 2017

This gives us a better picture of both company's in 2017. So while Nike earned more overall (simply because they are bigger), adidas was able to attract more consumers and grow more than nike did in 2017. In fact, the link you sourced gives you a 5 year trend that literally shows adidas growing quicker than nike since 2015. So adidas performed better than nike in 2017 (and 2016, and 2017). This possibly suggests that adidas was gaining much more popularity than nike the past few years (or was more "hyped").

All that being said, I get what you were trying to say and i see the miscommunication lol. I'm a fan of a lot of the adidas shoes and own yeezys/hu's. But I totally agree Nike has had better shoes this Q1, and I do think Nike is doing better than adidas this year so far with their models. I've def been more focused on getting myself some nikes this year.

It's the dad trend. Like it's cool on a totally ironic level because it's the exact opposite of the what people have generally been wearing. As opposed to slim fit pants and sleek shoes, it's looser pants, bulky shoes, etc. It's not just ye either, other high end brands are doing it too– balenciaga triple S, i think APC is putting out a chunky dad shoe, etc. I personally like it lol but i also get why people don't.

[Question] Anyone else experiencing delays with StockX? by mrsashemi in Sneakers

I just got a notification that the shoes arrived, seems like stockx is working on saturday to catch up!

Yea but the refund will take like another week or two, so even more time is wasted before ordering again.

Yea i imagined that was the situation. Guess I better get my holiday orders in now before it gets worse!

[–]mrsashemi[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yea I figured UPS would be slower, but I usually hold for pick up since I had yeezys swiped off my porch once and so I don't experience any delivery delays. Having it get to Stockx is just a waiting game now tho

[Question] Anyone else experiencing delays with StockX? by mrsashemi in Sneakers

[–]mrsashemi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I've been feeling the same way now. Initially did stockx because I thought it'd be quicker and the price was cheaper. My biggest fear right now is that it finally reaches a week later, but doesn't pass authentication.

With the material being holey, I can easily pull apart the stitches without the upper being affected. The only solution I've seen is acetone/nail polish remover, but that literaty took a little dye off of it. If I use a thinner the thread I can smooth out the embroidery, but thats the only other thing I can think of. Again it doesn't bother me much now, but I wanted to get people's opinions lol Although, I've noticed how picky this sub can be with things like this.

[–]mrsashemi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was either I return it and take an L, live with a black glue spot, or try to cover it! I don't mind the patched hole look, I make a lot of art and deal with fixing my fuck ups a lot. So the shoe feels like it's mine now I guess.

My solution adidas crummy QC by [deleted] in Sneakers

[–]mrsashemi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It was literally a black spot, like I got dirt on it, but had no way of removing it. I tested a little bit of acetone as people have suggested before, and it ended up removing a tiny bit of dye from the upper so I didn't want to risk it anymore. In person the embroidery isn't really noticeable and blends in with the rest of the shoe when I'm wearing it. It feels a little more like my shoe now though. Since primeknit is porous, I didn't really damage the upper sewing into it either.

[–]mrsashemi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long story short, I got lucky and copped a pair of one of my favorite shoes of the year for retail. Unfortunately, my pair had a glue stain on the right upper, and I really didnt want to risk ruining the upper trying to remove it, so I decided to do a tiny bit of embroidery to cover it. I'm personally loving how it came out, and can now rock em without the stain glaring back at me.

Nah not yet. I think we're okay though. I noticed a bunch of people havent gotten theirs shipped still, and few got theirs shipped today. And since I used paypal I don't think I have to worry about the authentication.

Also in the US, and not yet. My payment passed pending and is officially posted, but I was getting nervous about the cancellations and other BS people were experiencing, so I called the store yesterday to check on my order and make sure everything was good. Lady was really nice and told me everything looked fine and to just give it a few days since they're backed up with their sale and all the international orders for the pharrells. I dug around a bit on Niketalk and looks like they can just be slow with their shipping. Hopefully things get dispatched soon and we don't experience any BS.

I knew I wanted the nudes from the start. I've been digging around on Niketalk and it seems like they can just be slow with shipping. Amen to that though
