Kicks Analysis 2013 #8: The Champ

, , , , , , , , ,

It’s all wins for Adidas, and the victory for Adidas was already determined before the actual game as both Louisville and Michigan were decked out in Adidas gear.

Even with its NBA pedigree and support from Kate Upton, the Wolverines couldn’t hold off the talented and relentless Cardinal squad. Props to Louisville and their Adidas camo uniforms.

Going back to 1999, the championship kicksology looks like:

From these 15 years, the championship score is 1 for Reebok, 2 for Adidas, and 12 for Nike.

And of course, the obligatory One Shining Moment.

From a sneaker perspective, it is over. Adidas has done it again, beating the odds. Representing 20% of the teams in the field of 64, Adidas now represents 100% of the 2013 Finalists with both Michigan and Louisville playing for the championship.

Talk about “All in for March,” Adidas got it right with their teams all in for the championship.

Downton Abbey, My Latest Craze

, , ,

My latest passion and addiction has been watching Downton Abbey from PBS. Although the show’s not of my typical genre, I like it! Compared to The Game of Thrones, the world of Downtown seems so small and insulated. Yet, the interactions of the family and staff make for a compelling hour of television.

Almost done with Season 3! And who would have guessed that PBS has a Twitter hashtag for Downton Abbey?! #downtonPBS

Kicks Analysis 2013 #6: The Final Four

It’s deja vu all over again. Like in 2012, the odds highly favored Nike, yet the Final Four yielded a tie with two teams each representing Nike and Adidas.

The same has happened in 2013. Starting with three quarters of all the teams wearing Nike, the Final Four comes down to Wichita St. and Syracuse representing Nike and Louisville and Michigan wearing Adidas.

Can Adidas and their camo-based looks prevail?

Kicks Analysis 2013 #4: Shoes of Champions

, , , , , , , , ,

Continuing the trend of bright and bold team colors of 2012, twenty thirteen also mixed in retro kicks, primarily from a guy named Jordan. Overall, I like the chance Adidas took with their camo-based unis. I particularly thought the mint green of Notre Dame was something you had to stare at (for good or bad). Here’s the matching Crazy Fast in Green Zest.

Miami rocked crazy colors with no one team shoe.

And if your team colors happen to match that of the Chicago Bulls, it’s BRED all day baby!

Kicks Analysis 2013 #5: Elite 8

, , , , , , , , ,

The 2013 Sweet 16 featured 11 Nike teams, 4 Adidas team, and one sole Under Armour team. The Elite 8 numbers go 6 Nike and 2 Adidas.

Seed, Team, Shoe
1, Louisville, Adidas
2, Duke, Nike
9, Wichita St., Nike
2, Ohio St., Nike
4, Michigan, Adidas
3, Florida, Nike
4, Syracuse, Nike
3, Marquette, Nike

Adidas is represented by the sole and overall number one seed Louisville so there’s a good chance the three stripes will beat the swoosh-y odds.
