Growing up in the 80s/90s. In my kid social groups. This is how I categorized the brands; * Nikes were fashion mixed with athletics and performance and also high quality manufacturing. Add to it what they did with the branding and it's no wonder they are king of the hill. It was my preference then and now. * Reebok was a Nike knock off with gimmicks like pumps. Pumps were awesome and super hyped at the time. It's the only Reebok I've ever owned and it popped while playing basketball at school :( * Adidas were pure fashion. I have had a lot of Adidas in my life. But I've had way more Adidas clothing than shoes. Even within the shoe category, it's like the same pair I've had 20 times in different colors (you know the ones). I've had about 2 pairs of shoes that were not those.
