Back in the day it was most athletes’ dream to get a signature sneaker from the Swoosh brand, Nike, but as of late it seems like adidas has been stealing a lot of their thunder. Now, an Olympic Gold medalist seems to prefer three stripes to a swoosh, if he can have it his way.

According to Nice Kicks, Noah Lyles let the world know that he wanted his own signature shoe with adidas right after he took home the gold medal In the Paris Olympics 100-Meter sprint. Beating out Jamaica’s Kishane Thompson by just tenths of a second in a pair of adidas Y-3 track spikes, the new fastest man in the world expressed his desire for a signature sneaker with the three-stripe brand in a post-race interview.
Nice Kicks reports:
“I want my own trainer,” he said. “Dead serious… I want a sneaker. There ain’t no money in spikes. There’s money in sneakers.”
If adidas were to make Lyles a signature shoe, he’d join the history books once more, this time in the world of sneakers joining legendary Michael Johnson and Allyson Felix as the only American sprinter with a shoe.
Johnson, who released the Nike Air Zoom JST in 1998 following the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, and Felix, who left Nike and started her own footwear brand Saysh, set enough precedence for the Three Stripes to meet the demand of fans and athletes alike who aspire to performan at the highest level.
adidas would be fools to pass up this opportunity. Not only has the man earned it, but he bluntly stated he wants adidas over any other brand as his home. Not many athletes would say such a thing.
What do y’all think? Should adidas welcome Noah Lyles to their family? Let us know in the comments section below.
