after watching every match in group stage of current World Cup

I would rank in this order

Puma
adidas
Nike

Now, this is for all practical purpose, a three horse race.

Nike's products were old, lackluster and uninspiring. Led by Nike's top endorsee Brazil which is not having best time in their illustrious history, the uniform just looked bad. Nike's idea of improvement? change the color of uniform from strong yellow to light canary. Wow!! Typical of Nike in last 5 or 6 years. Now don't get me started on team USA's hideous American flag garbage. Great job Nike.

adidas had Nike upgrade in many of their uniform that looked good. Specially bringing back their trefoil logo. It worked. Maybe short term but it worked in this WC. Team Mexico was great success!!

Puma won the race with nice but subtle upgrade of their offering and increase of teams wearing it. Also, I am sure that Puma did not give those teams monster contract like Nike did to Brazil, USA and Germany.

Anyone in this site that wants to buy the leftover Nike soccer jerseys from my soccer specialty store then please reply below and I will contact you.
As you know Nike doesn't care if cr-p sold or not. They want their ACH on time or they will suspend my account

@ad as someone who knows India. India is not a simple question and answer.
For starters, within current India border there are about 10 different countries or region that they don't want to have nothing to do each other. In addition to it, there is Pakistan and Bangladesh that had to be split from India in early part of independence movement. Then there is Punjab region who wants nothing to do with normal Indian government.

The problem with India is pretty complex and that is the reason why India is where they are. 1.5 billion people and growing but going on 10 different direction.

With Nike running out of option, India might be only option but don't expect it to be as easy as China. It is an different animal

@ad moving labor force to overseas! Now that is new concept that Nike doesn't know anything about. LOL
Next frontier for Nike. India!!!
Like it was China in late eighties
Like it was Korea in late seventies.
Who knows this move my double PK's net worth by 5 times...... or put Nike in a black hole that they will never come out...

@b5 it is call being honest and objective sir.

I speak my mind unlike you that are scared that you be fired or laid off so go around kissing a-s

I disagree. After the Jersey fiasco, here in Europe Nike is much much more visible in stores and across digital and social platforms

You run a specialty soccer store which sells Nike products and you come here to trash Nike? If you think Nike products are cr-p and you don't want to sell them, just don't order from Nike in the future. That's the only voice Nike will listen to.

Nike is becoming an Indian-owned company. Hopefully, over 1 billion people in India will buy Nike products to support this transition and Nike's growing Indian tech workforce, as Americans are increasingly passing on Nike products and many U.S. jobs are moving overseas. This shift seems inevitable, and there's little anyone can do to stop it. I just hope the American employees affected find great new opportunities while Nike continues investing in the workforce it has chosen.

@OP Nike commercials were forgettable in WC. Complete waste of money!!!
