The best shoe company is often debated, however continuing my three part shoe series we intend on looking at the three biggest shoe companies. At second is Adidas, with this company's worth at 29.50 billion dollars it falls second in sales. The three most popular shoes sold by Adidas, not including Yeezy brand because similar to the Jordan brand it is a separate entity, is the Ultraboost, the Superstar, and the NMD_R1.
Beginning with the Superstar, reaching its highest popularity in the 90’s it is a shoe loved by many as an everyday shoe and less of a collectors item. The Superstar has a basic design usually being low top, all white, and adorned with three stripes across the side that are various colors. The comfortability of this shoe lands in the same spot as the Air Force 1, with the prices of the Superstar ranging from 100-330 dollars the comfortability should be higher very similarly to the Air Force 1.
Next is the NMD_R1 a popular everyday shoe that you can use in sports. The NMD_R1 is by far the most comfortable shoe I could actually try on. The sleek and lightweight build of the shoe provides a very good shoe for any activity. For a relatively reasonable price of 150-160 dollars this shoe is a steal.
Lastly we have the Adidas Ultraboost, the Ultraboost happens to be the only shoe on the list meant for running, with its lightweight makeup and pillowy sole this shoe is perfect for running. The Ultraboost ranges from about 190-210 dollars making it a relatively affordable shoe for its use.
Keeping these rankings in mind I would not say that Adidas is number one for style, however when it comes down to comfortability I would rank it first place. This does not include the super star though, the superstar ranks highest on this list for style rather than comfortability. So if you are looking for a comfortable shoe Adidas is the brand for you.
