Many people choose their sportswear based on their own feelings of comfort. Others prefer only specific brands and purchase “equipment” for the gym exclusively in company stores. Beginners in this matter are often unclear: which is better - “Nike”, “Adidas”, “Reebok” or “Puma”. To make a choice, you should consider the features of each manufacturer.
Selection basics
Any sportswear, be it Nike or Adidas, is simply obliged to sit perfectly on the body, without creating any discomfort, therefore, when choosing a purchase for the first time, all options should be considered. Based on the advice of friends about a particular brand, you may encounter the fact that these models will not suit you in sensations, and possibly in appearance. The same goes for sports shoes. Sneakers must meet the requirements of athletes and be focused on certain sports, only then with them it will be possible to achieve the desired results in a short time and with minimal load.
The cost of all the popular brands today - Adidas, Nike, Cougars and so on, fluctuates in one price category. If you are based on the principle of "where is cheaper", then you have to go around all the stores, because for certain products there may be discounts.
There is also an opinion that the entire set of sportswear should be from the same manufacturer, supposedly their logos on various items are poorly combined. In general, comfort is everyone’s choice. If it’s convenient to play sports in Nike or Adidas sneakers, while the clothes will be, for example, Puma, this is a personal matter for everyone.
Brand Nike
This American brand appeared on the expanses of the domestic market back in 1993. Since then, in his commercials, everyone has seen only world sports stars, and only in recent years has the manufacturer decided to pay attention to ordinary consumers and launched commercials with the participation of ordinary people.
Of course, the brand has loyal followers. You can buy clothes or shoes at a good discount in the season, but in general the brand has high prices. Everyone’s business is to choose: “Nike” or “Adidas”.
The most popular representative of sportswear is Adidas.
Perhaps, three white stripes on clothes everyone recognizes. Unbelievable popularity of the brand was provided by district hooligans who decided to dress exclusively in clothes from this manufacturer. Associations, of course, for some, Adidas is still associated only with such a contingent, but in fact, the clothes of this brand are very comfortable to wear, warm and relatively inexpensive. The product line is not always only sports, in company stores you can find wardrobe items for everyday life, as well as for children. The manufacturer has low prices for children's collections. According to reviews, this particular brand has the most diverse collections in terms of design.
Reebok brand
Along with Nike or Adidas, this manufacturer is a popular outfitter of domestic and foreign athletes. In sneakers and clothes of this manufacturer you can find tennis players, soccer players, swimmers, hockey players, runners and other representatives of big sport.
In addition to such a professional focus, Reebok also produces separate lines for fitness for women and men, as well as children's collections. Their cost is not much different from adults, but at a discount you can get good benefits.
Wild cats
The enormous popularity of Puma in past decades is no longer up to the mark today, but its loyal fans still prefer only the products of this manufacturer. A feature of the brand is that it is easy to buy branded jeans under its brand, which is simply impossible to say about other representatives of sports equipment. As a minus, it should be noted the opinion of customers that the design of clothes at Puma has not changed for a long time and is no longer relevant.
Shoe selection
To purchase high-quality gym shoes, a beginner can not be based on certain brands, but pay more attention to his own comfort. Every brand has universal models with a rubberized rigid sole and shock-absorbing cavities in the heel. Pay attention only to the presence of a good breathing surface and a shallow relief of the sole, because classes will take place indoors.
For running, “Reebok”, “Nike” or “Adidas” produce special sneakers that reduce the load on the spine and legs. Cushioning cavities in them are under the entire sole, which, in turn, is very flexible and raised in the heel. Sneakers should be low, but with a good pattern of the sole.
Tracking shoes from any manufacturer seem overly massive, but this is a necessity. Shoes should protect the foot from possible dislocations and bumps, so the lacing is always high, the toe is reinforced with rubber inserts, the sole is embossed, with protectors in the form of spikes. It is important for long walks to protect the leg and the top, so the sneakers should be durable and waterproof.
In general, for the first time, choosing clothes and shoes for sports for personal use should be exclusively based on feelings. Only after a few purchases can you make your own conclusion and focus on a particular brand.
