A few years ago Nike was the company advertising on mass while producing par products. Puma was sitting in the back making nice clothes and became one of my favorite brands.

Now it seems that Puma is everywhere and Nike is starting to sit back. It also seems Nike's quality is up a tad.

My puma roma (chocolate) is one of my favorite pairs of kicks, next to my Onitsuka's that is.

I'm choosing Puma just because I hate Nike as a whole economically.

I'm a nike/adidas user.
Pretty much anything other than reebok is cool though. I hate reebok for some reason.

I prefer the Nike logo. It's more simplistic and just fades with the clothes.

However, with my money I'll buy whatever is the cheapest of the 2.

I really don't like either company, I'm definitely not into that style of clothing. Puma shoes are hella ugly, by the way. I've never seen a good looking pair of Puma shoes.

Nike is not sitting back from anything; they are still milking the Nike SB Dunks for all they are worth (which is $1000+ for some pairs). Some of their shoes are pretty solid, and some totally suck.

The same goes for Puma, but they don't have an ultra-popular streetwear brand like Nike SB.

Addidas recently "stepped up their game" with the Adicolor line, which has some very interesting colorways, but not many are actually very wearable.

My personal favourites are Asics Onitsuka and Vans. Very solid wearable shoes with a nice amount of flair.

I think Nike is still huge in the US. I haven't got any numbers on it, but over here i see more adidas and puma. I think both Puma and Adidas are better looking than Nike, but i also support wearing sports stuff because it's functional, not because it looks good. Puma are worn as day-to-day sneakers, while pretty much all nike shoes are running or training shoes.

Should make a bigger poll, missing also: Reebok, Asics, Fila, Lotto, Coq Sportif, Ellesse, etc.

I only know reebok from that list. Sports wear companies that I see a lot are: Nike, Adidas, Umbro(wtf happened to Umbro?) and Puma.

"At one specific store in New York during the release of the infamous "Pigeon" dunk, a riot formed. The New York City Police Department contacted taxi cab services to escort those lucky few who actually were able to receive the sneaker, and after the rowdy crowds dispersed, knives and baseball bats were among the utencils found laying in the streets."

Reminds me of the novel "Jennifer Government," what a good novel.
