Were ’Off-Whites’ the last hurrah for Nike?

this is it

Sauconys, Asics, and New Balances have all dominated the streetwear fashion space in the past few years

New Balance is trying to bury the fact they went hard for the MAGA pivot and it didn't do anything to increase their market share.

That Complex show was shamelessly pandering to NB and dad shoe adjacent models...but it worked to get people not that really into sneakers into stores to buy "cool shoes"

HOKA?! :dead: they make primarily running gear. Nike encompasses all sports and lifestyles.
I will admit Hoka makes better running shoes tho :manny: I ain't mad at it
People keep trying to make Hoka’s happen and I don’t get it. They’re good running shoes that’s it.

Went on a date with a mixed chick. She was wearing Hokas. Needless to say there was no "spark" between us and she thought cacs being liberal meant less racist.

Nike shoes aren't comfortable the older you get and their new designs are just rerocked versions of older designs

Travis Scott still brings motion to Nike but he's basically doing what I said above

Offs were only hot because of Virgil, Nike was trending down. The collab made them seem like luxury shoes.

They will have to find a name to hitch to, I guess thats Travis. But I aint buying kicks for him... hes not a designer.
