I am not going to get into a back and forth about this, as you are mixing up several different things and missing the point I am trying to make.
Nike could be 100 times bigger or whatever it doesn't matter. i know they are, I know they pour a ton into R&D.
however as i said, from pure "design" and in terms of designer collabs and credibility with that, Adidas, and Puma pretty much owns that.
there is a reason why Yohji and Adidas has Y-3, which grew out of a single collection that was inspired by Adidas as a design company. there is a reason why People Like jeremy Scott , Stella Mcartney and the likes have Adidas collaborations.
I wouldn't even bother to get into the Puma ones........What does Nike have in this regard?
Generally speaking, whether it is true or not, german/ European companies are more respected in terms of design than American ones..........and often perception is more powerful than reality
