Most of the time I wear Red Wings.

Adidas v Nike

Hey, there's nothing wrong with NB or Sketchers (other than I think NB are just plain awful looking, but that's another story lol). They fit a certain segment of people well, for both comfort and usage. But to say the $30 pairs of them are of the same quality as some of the Adidas or Nike in the $150 range is just crazy.

Recruit
The running store I buy all my shoes and gear from barely carries Nike. I always let them bring me out a few different shoes that are good for my pronation and they have NEVER brought out a pair of Nike shoes. I've stayed pretty loyal to Brooks and Asics. I did try a pair of Mizuno that I didn't care for. I'm not bold enough to try a pair of Hoka's yet but I'm curious about those and On.
Love Asics, perfect for my running needs. Brooks great as well.
As for the never ending debate on College sponsorship for clothing and the like, as long as Adidas is in the game, eventually they can become top dog in the eyes of recruits. As time passes, someone will carry the Adidas torch to make it the "new shinny toy" on the block. Just need the right celeb, sports figure, "influencer" as they are now called etc.
Hokas are just wonderful on my bad knees. Bulky but easy on the joints. Used Brooks for years but much happier and pain-free now.
Hookahs?
Although I've gotten out of the habit running lately (I bike more), I own a pair of Brooks for that.
My push for recent Adidas purchases is mostly for 1. style and 2. comfort.
I'm an Adidas guy for the last 5 or so years. After raising two boys and still a 3rd I can tell you that you are spot on regarding athletic apparel. Other than my middle son who is in South Korea and in the Air Force my other two want to wear nothing but athletic apparel. Jeans are now considered dress up and are losing their appeal.

Skechers outlet in Omaha, get my walking shoes and dress shoes there. Otherwise I am Adidas.
Same here, I usually wear adidas or k-Swiss.
Lol nope I just like my white shoes. I don’t even like a smudge on them. Hey I grew up in the city. K-Swiss is big in urban areas. Never have worn a necklace or any jewelry nor have I ever dyed my hair. I should get Frosty tips!!!K-swiss? You got a shell necklace and frosted tips to go along with them?
Have you ever ran an Ironman or played on a professional basketball team?
For 99% of the population, New Balance or similar brands are completely adequate. It's like comparing a Bentley to a Buick. Yes, there are some refinements that the more expensive product has, but there's a reason 99% of the market will buy a Ford or a Honda instead of a Porsche.
I cannot fathom a situation in which the performance of my shoe will have a consequential impact on my everyday life. I'm not trying to catch Usain Bolt.
Never saw the appeal in Nike or Jordans. Wore Pumas and Chucks in high school. Nowadays I wear nothing but NMD, Boost, and Yeezys
