Transcripts
Niki has long been a behemoth of the
sports wear industry with the iconic
swoosh becoming a symbol of athletic
Excellence but in the shadows Adidas has
slowly been building up its repertoire
and gearing up to potentially deep
thrown its American rival so without
further Ado let's dive into the battle
for Supremacy between these two
sportsware Giants and why Adidas might
be the last one standing when the dust
settles first up some history these two
brands have absolutely dominated the
market over the past decade but it's
easy to forget just how late Adidas was
to the party don't get me wrong this
German brand was doing pretty well for
itself but while Niki was busy crafting
the one and only Air Jordan silhouette
Adidas just didn't have anything that
compared in 2012 the Air Jordan sales
shot up by staggering
89% indicating its enduring popularity
among sneaker fans nearly three decades
after after its debut Nike's dominance
seemed insurmountable so much so that
the brand was considered synonymous with
sneakers when the company introduced fly
net it seemed downright
Unstoppable however Adidas was busy
planning its own Revival and in 2013 it
brought boost technology to the world
it's safe to say this introduction was
an absolute Game Changer leveraging
Cutting Edge chemistry from BASF Adidas
was able to create a line of sneakers
that could vastly minimize the impact on
an athlete's joints this bouncy material
consisted of polymer pellets compressed
into a single piece and it marked
perhaps the first time that Adidas
seemed like a true Contender for the
throne by 2015 the Adidas Ultra boost
showed the brand at the peak of its
craft this became the most popular
sneaker line to incorporate boost
technology helped in no small part by an
endorsement from Kanye West himself self
when yay wore a pair of ultra boost to
the 2015 Billboard Music Awards the
brand reached even greater Heights his
historic performance at the awards show
might be notorious for the heavy
sensoring it experienced but it's safe
to say that his shoes receive their fair
share of the Limelight while surprising
it is that these aren't exactly the most
premium pairs available people could buy
them for reasonable
$180 far from the hundred You' expect to
pay foro endorsed by one of the world's
biggest musicians that seemed to be the
trend with Adidas brand has made a name
for itself by providing top tier quality
at an affordable price point and it
turns out that Kanye wanted this too
while his first Adidas collection would
have set you back
$3,800 he pledged to bring prices down
for subsequent collections sure enough
the second iteration slashed the asking
price considerably although it was still
up there at $1,200
regardless Kanye wanted his shoes to be
accessible to regular folk and he said
as much when people ask him about them
this is a philosophy that Adidas has
stuck with ever since Niki Executives
side eyed the German brand nervously as
it picked up seam in 2017 the
unthinkable happened revenue reports and
sales figures came in all of which
pointed to one irrefutable fact Adidas
had the top selling sneaker of the year
with the Retro Superstar for decades
Nike had positioned itself as the
Undisputed King of the sneaker world but
all of a sudden their longtime
competitor somehow ate away at their
market share the Adidas Superstar didn't
just out sell the Air Jordan 12s on a
per unit basis that would have been
relatively easy given that the Adidas
pair cost around $80 where the NIS sold
for a hefty 170 instead the Adidas
Superstar somehow out earned the Air
Jordan 12s as well that's doubly
impressive when you consider the lower
price point if you think about it Adidas
would have had to sell an insane amount
of pairs to cinch the top spot and the
fact that they succeeded is a testament
to their tremendous growth it's clear
that the low price point high quality
strategy was working out brilliantly ho
ho ho hold your horses we plug a lot of
people but this is something that even
we can't do hit that subscribe button
and plug yourself with the most diverse
and interesting sneaker content there is
and now back to the video Adidas also
happened to nearly double its market
share in this period in 2016 they
controlled around 6.3% of the US sneaker
Market fast forward a year and they
brought this up to
11.3% such a massive jump in just 12
months is no mean feat and the only way
they accomplished this was by beating
Nike at its own game the American brand
saw its own market share dip from 35.9%
to
34.7% while the separate Jordan brand
fell to 11.8 from 14.8 look the numbers
don't lie Adidas was clearly doing
something right and it allowed them to
Surge past Nike for the very first time
the Yeezy collab with Kanye helped them
in no small part providing a high value
collectible that left sneaker fans
around the world desperate for a pair
and then the controversial rapper went
on an anti-semitic tie raid that backed
Adidas into a corner either the brand
could double down to preserve their most
valuable silhouette or they could cut
ties with Kanye and start from scratch
I'd say the company did the right thing
by severing the relationship after all
the blowback from partnering with the
self emulating artists threatened to
derail everything they'd worked so hard
to gain the only problem was Adidas need
needed something new to fill the void
they found their replacement in the new
fear of God Athletics lineup now this
collab with Jerry Lorenzo didn't just
come out of the blue Adidas had been
working on it for the better part of 3
years and it's a good thing they had it
on the back burner this whole time the
easy debacle left the company with a
$540 million loss so if they didn't have
something to fall back on Niki would
have automatically won the race by
default fortunately fear of God is
shaping up to be everything you'd expect
from Adidas the three stripes has only
had two previous permanent Partnerships
with fashion brands namely Y3 and Stella
McCartney so if they decided to sign on
the dotted line with fear of God there
was obviously something special there
Jerry Lorenzo is a street wear icon in
his own right and has worked with Nike
in the past but his brand hadn't made
its way into Athletic Apparel yet with
Adidas he found a partner willing
willing to give him a global push and
the sort of name recognition that could
put your products on the map it's a
symbiotic relationship by all accounts
and it might help cover up the bitter
aftertaste left behind by Kanye then
again Adidas is plenty more going for it
even if we ignore the burning need to
replace the Yeezy shaped hole in their
bottom line the brand has released
multiple pairs that are flying off the
shelves the three shoes that come to
mind are the campus 2000 gazelle and its
oldest design
the samba introduced in 1949 samba's
suction grip was a game-changing
Innovation that helped athletes play on
slippier icy surface without missing a
step by 2015 Adidas had sold around 35
million pairs of these and by the end of
2023 the company was having a hard time
keeping up with demand the Wales Bonner
Somas set for release in 2024 indicate
the Brand's willingness to spice up
their tried and tested design design
featuring a tan heel and toe peppered
with Vivid blue highlights this is just
the latest addition to the whales Bonner
line following up the November 2023
release of four distinctive colorways
making their oldest design arguably one
of their most Innovative as well same
can be said of the Adidas campus which
boast a sturdier thicker build than some
of the company's other offerings in 2023
the company collabed with the likes of
Bad Bunny and corn to produced the
campus 80s and the campus 2000s
respectively the first of these two
features a cloud-like design replete
with furry fluffy highlights that seem
rooted in the 1980s Aesthetics with the
Retro Vibe going so strong it made
perfect sense for Adidas to release this
blast from the past and pairing it with
the hottest name in music made for an
inspired Jer position as for the campus
naughties the company opted for a solid
black and stark white laces and
highlight making the design come alive
these revamp pairs are keeping the
company in the Limelight in unexpected
ways combining nostalgic form and
unparalleled function to create just one
of many Bonafide collector's items in
their catalog finally there's the Adidas
gazelle which has been endorsed by a
laundry list of celebrities over its
lifetime everyone from Mick Jagger and
Harry Styles has shown off the gazel and
if that wasn't enough winth paltro
sported a pair at a red carpet event of
all places recently Adidas partnered
with Gucci to give these underrated
sneakers a bigger push over in Nike's
Corner things aren't going so well for
one thing Air Jordans aren't selling as
much as they used to there was a time
when each new take on the silhouette
brought swarms of eager buyers all of
whom lined up for hours to be the first
to get their hands on the pair nowadays
if you want to buy a pair of the new Air
Jordans all you need to do is walk into
a store there something to be said of
the resale value since this tends to
heavily influence buyers data analytics
firm Altan Insight showed that a number
of prize Nike sneakers aren't seeing the
same price climb year toe the Retro
Jordan 1's arguably the quintessential
Nike collectible yielded just 4% premium
on the initial price in 2023 just 3
years ago resellers could have fetched
an easy 61% profit margin when the
collectible is no longer being collect
Ed what motivation do buyers have to get
in on the latest pair not much as it
turns out and the numbers show it many
would ask how it came to this and the
blame lies largely with Nike itself the
company's long been accused of
saturating the market coming out with so
many new designs it's hard to keep up
one can argue that each design satisfies
a particular Niche but that's beside the
point Nike no longer has the Mass Appeal
at once relied on there are signs the
company is resting on its Laurels
unwilling to take big swings or to come
up with anything inspired there's only
so far they can go with the status quo
and buyers are starting to look
elsewhere while its Empire crumbles
Adidas is rapidly gaining market share
and providing an alternative for
collectors looking for the next big buy
as it currently stands the German brand
might not compete in terms of pure
numbers but when you look at it from a
cultural impact point of view the coming
decades will all be about Adidas with
Nike set to become little more than a
legacy brand that's about it people I
want to thank you again for watching do
not forget to kick that like button and
if you're a true sneaker head you'll be
kicking that subscribe button too see
you back next time
