Will Nike ever reach its 90s level of glory again?

[West Coast Avenger]

All I'll say is so far in 2018....Nike is killing Adidas....it was the other way around last year...but Nike is killing them with that Off White....not too mention these are more comfortable than ultra boost....

....

I've been hunting awhile for these.

I can’t find a pic of the all black purple color way. Those were dope.

No, brands don't matter nearly as much and people are into much more diverse looks

Then again everything goes in cycles and (sadly) it looks like it's about to be the 90s turn.

 

[Saint Denson]

Maybe, maybe not but SCREW Nike for kicking Ye out the operations.

Unless some brothas become part owners of it i don't give a F#@%

U know I'm sleepy af, i thought tha title said, 'Will Gary ever reach it's 90's level of savage again?'

They got the wrong people on their creative teams.

They were still selling when Roshe's dropped, everyone had the black and grey ones. Nike's problem is that they went all in on Jordans/Air Max instead of continuing runners. Say what you want about Ye, but he was right for going to Adidas and dissing Nike's creative directors. They thought they could do it all on branding.

Only recently, have they really tried to take Adidas down with their runners.

And don't they fukk up the retros a lot? I'm looking forward to more 90s basketball retros, but I don't want to spend on all that money on a shytty retro.

Yeah they don't really retros justice. They try to put their own spin and use cheaper material.

Nike is still going to fukk that up. Get ready for FILA season.

not shoe design wise. they've reached their standard. now all that'll change is materials

 

[intruder]

If you have any kind of sense you shouldnt root for the traditional power companies in any industry to retain their power.

I try to support newer brands but if i find a NIKE air i like at an affordable price i'm down. As long as it doesnt violate my "less than $99" rule which ive only violated once in my lifetime for a pair of New Balances

The yearly Air Max's look exactly the same apart from the swoosh being in a different place

Vapormax's look horrendous

 

[The Villain]

Nike makes way more good shoes now than they did then. It just doesn't feel like it because they just make a fukkload more shyt in general.
They're teflon purely off volume.

Agreed. They looked different every year til about 2003, then they started making a very similar shoe every year. I wonder if Tinker Hatfield has been involved since then.

And I also think Vapormaxes look terrible
