Adidas Yeezy Boost vs Nike Air Jordan. Know the difference Adidas and Nike are competitor brands that sell high-end shoes, they both have a high rate of purchase within the market and you may find some hard stans fighting over the superior brand. To us at The Shoe Factory , we prefer not to pick sides.  The only major similarity between the Adidas Yeezy Boosts vs The Nike Air Jordans are they both are shoes created and launched by a celebrity. Yeezys were created by a popular rapper Kanye West in collaboration with Adidas, whereas the Air Jordans were a collaboration between the world-famous NBA star Michael Jordan and Nike.

When trying on a pair at the store make sure that there is enough room for your toes to wigg

But, Michael Jordan being the badass he is debuted the Nike X Jordans and this led to the great basketball sneaker boom. Nike Air Jordans shoes in India are something to be desired by all sneakerheads.
