Anonymous Unregistered	The point was that Adidas is an old tired brand to the kids, especially girls. Yes they have deep pockets to buy teams and athletes to wear them but they are not the first brand a boy or girl wants to wear. Brands like Nike and Puma are much more desirable to the youth. Adidas is to soccer as Lincoln is to cars. The primary customer is old and dying off. I feel bad when I see a girls club in Adidas when the girls across the board would prefer Puma or Nike. and BTW Brooks and Asics are the top running brands. [/quote] [/quote] The point really was about the sacrifices we as parents make for our children out of love and support for them to play the game they love and WE love to watch them play. Sis PS- I actually thought this would be a fun thread that could give us all a few relatable laughs.

Asics owns the volleyball market...dont know much 'bout Brooks. Brooks seems like a brand usually worn by some stodgy dude who seems like he needs a beating!
