Is Nike a quality brand or does it just have a good brand name?

Question

Years back I bought a pair of Nike runners and 2 months later they broke in the front. I bought a new pair ( cause i like thier brand image ) and 3 months later they broke. That really bugged me. So I bought asics. They lasted me 1.5 years of running. I thought I would try nike again and the same thing happend. So I went back to asics and am really happy. I now have the asics Kayano, and think that they are great. A month ago I bought a nike track suit. A week later the seams started to come apart. So i have come to the conclusion that nike is not a quality product, it just has amazing markating skills. I would like to hear from other sports people what they think of nike, if they have tryed and tested their goods. And what you think of asics.

Due to the fact that kids living in a third world countries make them, and they have to meet a deadline before they are allowed to go home, I'm pretty sure that they are concerned with the quality of your shoes.

Personaly I think Asics is pretty good, Yeah they do last a long time. I almost never buy a pair of nike shoes for running becuase for some reason I favour Adidas becuase they last ages just like Asics, I always trust Adidas for running but for football I say nike is one of the best, This time they last ages, I've got a pair of Nike Vapors that I play football in on the weekends, They usually last 8-9 months but for me I would say thats pretty good for a pair of often used football shoes. Nike is good for something but for other things...maybe not.

I've never had a problem with Nike, Addidas, Asics, Reebock etc. They always last for me about the same amount of time. At least 3 years.

I've been using nike shoes and apparel for more than 20 years and I am very satisfied with their products
it maybe pricey but i've been getting what i pay for
no matter how good a brand is advertised if its products are just crap people will get sick of it... nike for one has stood the test of time
maybe you should check where you've been getting your nike stuff coz they maybe fakes
