Ever since Nike came out with the brilliant "Just Do It" campaign, other companies have been flailing around trying to come up with a slogan that will beat it. I just saw an Adidas commercial that had the tag line "Impossible is Nothing". I'm not sure what this means, but I'm pretty sure it isn't English. I've heard the expression "nothing is impossible", and that would sort of apply here (although it wouldn't be winning them any Clios). Maybe they wanted Yoda as a spokesperson (spokesjedi?) but they couldn't get him.

Anyway, you can rest easy Nike, your slogan superiority is safe for another day.
As for you Adidas...drawing board back to you must go...dummies.

I dont like nike as a company.

And impossible is nothing is a sweet slogan, its a play on words, and alternate meaning. It's saying that the impossible is not a big deal, its nothing.

That's a good point Choop, but I made the same Yoda connection he did like the third time I heard the thing, so it totally ruined it for me....

Its all about what fits your foot correctly. Every shoe company makes their shoe with a slightly different shape.

I can't stand Nike running shoes.

After working at a sports store for a few months, you really start noticing some stuff.  Brooks, Aasics, and Mizuno's are the best running shoes.  I have a pair of Gel Kayano 13's (Aasics) for over-pronation and I absolutely love them.  No more shin splints...

I usually wear Red Wing Work boots on... well 90% of the time I have shoes on.

The other 10% of the time is spent wearing New Balance. <3

Seriously, if you have a high arch, like me, you are obliged to wear New Balance.

Most importantly - People suck.

If you put on some of their cleats and walk around on a hard surface, the noise you make with the cleat will be very similar to "click clack"
