Good luck to England (Nike) and Spain (Adidas) for the final 🥳! Who do you think will make it?
England will WIN!!!
Netherlands 😜

@athleticinterest , you consistently use a misleading map of Europe. Crimea is Ukraine, and its annexation is not recognized by Germany, the European Union, the USA, and the UN. That is, you are promoting Russian propaganda narratives to your audience. Is this your conscious position?
Nike rapidly loosing weight in football in recent years while there stock price is plummeting.
Flase also addias has been losing stock aswell
Football brings them the most media value of any sport but it doesn't bring the most actual sales basketball bring actually sales an if china had social media more media value aswell
They are also losing weight in Cricket .

So how did Nike lost? Your title makes 0 sense and you don’t explain anything. Literally you made a video showing the shirts and which brand has which teams but have 0 arguments and said nothing at all.
This video is an ad for Check 24. Are you slow in the head?
@@binickihrvtho8512 lmaoo
i agree bro did not explain nothing💀
its just an ad for check24, this is a garbage video from a channel turning into garbage
It's call clickbait.
Chelsea's awful looking home kit for 24-25 shows how little Nike care. Barring one or two kits, all of their designs have been atrocious for years now.
its not realseaed yet?
@@av55544it is and its horrific
Totally agree. They used to make sleek and clean shirts , not the case in recent years.
Nike only make good Chelsea training kits the home shirt is awful
That new Chelsea hit is atrocious, it gives that neon green zebra kit Arsenal had last season a run for its money.
Nike doesn't do well accept USA even they lost indian cricket team and adidas is current sponsor
And Adidas is rocking in India
@@pranabmaity919And cricket in India is a big deal,and of course the country has more than 1 billion people so
I was in Germany during the Euros and Nike was depressing, they didn't have stock of anything, barely any Ads on the streets, nothing. I was in many cities (Berlin, Cologne and Munich) and couldn't find anything from Portugal. I wanted to buy a Ronaldo jersey and they didn't have nor fan or player version of home and away telling me it was sold out. Neither jackets, training stuff, nothing... They have Mbappe and Ronaldo and barely use right their stars, in every Adidas there was stock of jerseys and they push their stars like Bellingham, Kross and Messi selling jerseys with their names and having giant ads on the streets. It's no mistery that other brands are stealing they stars because they don't use them right and the stars themselves don't find them valued by the brand.
That's because Adidas is all over Germany. Adidas was the brand for the German Football team ever since the world cup was was created. Adidas has Warehouses located all over Germany. Most Adidas products, that you purchase online, started off in Germany! Nobody cares about Nike in Germany unfortunately 😅
Nike stores are the same in Dubai. Literally no specific sports wear - no football shirts, shoes or kit at all, not to mention no other sportswear either. They only have running shoes and general overpriced casual exercise-wear. I had to buy an england shirt from a non-official place just to get it. Adidas has it all FRONT AND CENTRE.
@@GuitaronsofaSame here even in America
And America is home of Nike
Just look at the Chelsea home kit for 2024/25, that’s how Nike lost interest, awful kits
Samsung kits were the best Chelsea kits ✨✨🤌🏾🤌🏾
@@shadow_realm47 especially that gold one
Haha you thought the finals would be Nl vs Spain, me too! But unfortunately it is england
we just say that they shined on the pitch 🤓
@@AthleticInterest even English people are bad at speaking/understanding English 😂
unfortunately netherlands had their chance but they fumbled
@@Bigdaboss-pr2hvengland won with a ridiculous penalty. nl didn’t fumble
@@AthleticInterest Yeah, nice try! 😁
Nike came with very boring uninspired kits overall. Feels like they really dropped the ball.
I love seeing Nike lose, they wouldn't even care about football if adidas wasn't there making so much money.
Spain and Netherlands?!?!?!
Listen to that part again unless you understand English which in that case you don't need to hear it again
IN YOUR DREAMS THIS IS ENGLAND 🏴😏
Group stage hardly impressive and then had an easy run in the knockouts until they lost to a team that have played horrendously all tournament… Hardly ‘shining’ from the Netherlands 🥴
@@IAmConorr Holland scored double the amount of goals England did and had a harder group than England who scraped the weakest group. If you've reached the semis then you've generally had a good go in the tournament

The old title of the video "How Nike Lost European Football" ,
The New title "How Adidas bullied Nike"
The content of the Video : Forget the titles. Lets talk about Check 24.
2014:
You Risk Everything to Win Everything
(Best Nike football ad btw)
2024:
You Risk Everything to Lose Everything
-From a Messi fan who has more Adidas Football gear ⚽️
⭐️⭐️⭐️
🇦🇷🐐
The Check24 Jersey became iconic in the german public, altough it was the cheapest one.
Nike kits this year are 🤮🤮🤮🤮
I know ...I was wondering what happened
Its not jerseys anymore its like woolen sweaters.. isn't it
Nike was and is still today the leading sports kit manufacturing brand throughout the world , does'nt matter how many shirts they were able to sell or how many of their sponsored players or team performed well in the Euros .
Germany signed with Nike💔
Guys we can't allow a channel of this quality to have less than 1.5m subs 😭
I think a large part of this is also how well Nike and Adidas used social media. I think Adidas has been killing it this tournament, taking candid pix from the game and using those as their media post, as opposed to the pre-fabricated & generic Nike post

Hummel: Been chillin on my jack jones since Euro 92
Interesting video but what does it have to do with how Nike lost European football???
I have been following you since close to your channel's beginning, and your videos and content remains as top-notch as ever! But the highlight for me remains your outro -- yours are the only videos I watch right to the end because the outro music is beautiful and you always end your videos with the perfect tone/feel going into that music :) Keep up the amazing work!
So, Adidas won Euro and Copa America in 2024. Congrats!
Okay, how do you pronounce that Check Fienshwansee??
vierundzwanzig (ˌfiːɐ̯ʊntˈt͡svant͡sɪç if you can read phonetic letters)
it's twenty-four in German (Vierundzwanzig)
I'm so glad Nike is losing Europe and football. It just doesn't belong to it.
Amazing as always!!
great video!
So way more than double are watching UCL final compared to euros final?
I think it was 5 billion views, not 5 billion people watching this tournament.
youtube should add tags for this type of advertisements
BYD is officially sponsor of euro. And where are Germany automobile companies?
And how is this video related to Addidas bullying Nike ?
I really like the research on this channel. But think this was rushed. Hopefully the next upload is back to normal.
Video should be called "how Check 24 won the Euros
but how they got the national logo on the jersey, isn't there copyright?
It is another one If you look closely: Just the German eagle but no "DFB"
Simple
Messi : Adidas
Loser Pencamel: Nike
Hence, Nike Lost
Yes, and such a battle takes place in every sport, as well as in federations and even personally with each athlete
this mean Puma sold 5 million shirts too. Well played!
5 billion people doesn’t add up. Earth population is +7 billion you mean more than half of the population is watching Euros? This doesn’t add up, we will need breakdown for the numbers.
@@ThamsanqaTLJ inflated numbees for football as usually
How? The German national team is going to be wearing nike instead of adidas next year. If anything, that tells you that adidad is not just losing, they're being humiliated
the deal starts at 2027...so chill...
Vini Jr is playing in the Copa America!
Brazil lost to Uruguay in the quarterfinals. Fwiw I agree Germany has the best kit at the euros. The Colombian away kit in dark blue with gold writing, and the Canada away kit in off-white with red pinstripes are my top three for both tournaments combined.
I usually love the Netherlands kit, but the socks, which were the correct shade, did not match the rest. This reminds me of my team when I was nine years old lol
Anyway, thanks for the video! 🙏😁
Edit: grammar
One important thing I think you forgot, considering the brand war between Adidas and Nike, is that Adidas provides the game ball for the Euros and even for the World cup. Which makes Adidas present on the pitch, even if a non-Adidas sponsored team is playing.
Nike lost World Cup 2022 as well, but not a single video about it from the Athletic Interest. I am still waiting for the battle of the brands review in that tournament too.
Here it is: ruclips.net/video/kCXYW_sEcjI/видео.html
Not sure you will like it though, we have a different conclusion because it was published before the final 😅.
@@AthleticInterest Hehe, thanks mate, I remember I watched it during the tournament but I waited for your review after the cup ended. I wonder what your thought after the Messi's glory with the adidas-sponsored Argentina. But yes, in term of quantities, Nike is hard to beat. Even in the 2024 Euro, 3 of the semifinalists were Nike-sponsored teams. Adidas could only be happy with the final outcome when Spain won the title.
Either way, I love watching your videos. They give me channel exercising my thoughts about sporting brands competitions. Keep up the great work mate!
U guys don't post nowadays what's going on
So early 😅! I didn't even have notifications on, just got here
Can you do a Dokumentation of the peak spanisch football ?
Amazing Video 😍 loving that you are informing about this. Public Viewing in German means something different than it does in English though :) just consider next time that in English it’s rather a public screening :) public viewing in English is something like watching a corpse in public
The biggest winner: Mizuno! I see you, Tijjani Reijnders.
This channel is becoming confusing. Changing title every day and not talking about title but for ads😮😮
Love your content bro ❤❤❤. But why are you inactive on insta ?
This guy thinks Netherlands are in the final 💀💀💀💀
U GUYS DON'T POST A LOT NOWADAYS I LOVE WATCHING UR VIDEOS WHAT'S GOING ON 😂
Hey! are you looking to add a new editor to your team? I'm interested in joining.
You guys should make a feature length documentary! 🍿
Adidas is killing it under Bjoern Gulden. No bullshit approach of this guy and rootedness in sports is helping adidas emerge strong big time. The brand will only go stronger from here.
I am not so sure about your check24 claims in regards to using and selling the data, Europe has GDPR nowadays which makes these things a lot more difficult. All the rest is true though, big win for brand awareness, new users to market to etc.
What did that have to do with Nike?
I have been following the EUROs closely as usual but I did not even know about what Check24 did :D. I guess I am more interested in the actual football than anything else 😄. Also, what does that have to do with the title "How Nike Lost European Football"?
Spain and Netherlands shine in the pitch? This video was made before the semis?
Content is great!
How did Nike lose?
Obviously another brilliant video.
No. The reason people are distancing themselves from Nike is because they’re boring and overpriced. It’s that simple.
Wow, and they managed to do all that on a measly 100M € budget? Impressive!
That 3rd act twist tho 😮
certain sponsoring the euros would cost less than 100M
Why did you put on beauty eyebrows on the players 🤨
Eyy top 2 of the most early viewers
Lol I was waiting for this video after your haaland and mbappe video 😢
goated channel
When it comes to shining on the pitch, it's definitely Spain and Germany
I wouldn't have minded a video called "the brilliant marketing idea pulled by Check24" and the compare it to Nike and Adidas numbers . Your visual and script would be pretty much the same just tweaked a bit. No one would have cared
Instead you didn't answer the question you posed both in the video and title and did a sneaky and quite shaneful sponsored video without explicitly saying it. Tbh you didn't elaborate at all on the topic, just showed the euros bracket with how many each have and said that adidas kits are presumably nicer and their ads copies are better.
Love your videos but do stuff like this often and you'll lose loyal viewers in the long run, it isn't my case today but keep note of it. This was pretty low quality content
Thanks for your feedback. I get your point of view on the title but I promise you this was not a sponsored video. We just told the story as it is and thought it is a nice little anecdote that not that many people have heard of.
Understood. Keep it up my brother 👍🏼
Why didn't you mention Ronaldo for Nike?
because Ronaldo is on his way out
Nike is know retired footballer no mater how many ig followers doesn't generates sales only media value thats why lebron is the most important current athlete for them
Amazing and inforative videos! Keep it up
I love your videos but not one mention of the fact the adidas jerseys made the players look like they were literally swimming from sweat and what that could do to the long term perspective of the brand was disappointing. The Puma Check24 is a great take but too easy and with the knowledge of the adidasVpuma rivalry, you could’ve done more
English or Spanish final
Nba finals had 400m viewers for the final average for 5 games
wow that's impressive. where did you get that number from :)?
Bro is pulling numbers out of his ass
@@yigitaliaka4582 these are real numbers worldwide
Emmmm.
It's the opposite.
NBA ratings are falling down every season.
A couple of million viewers for big games. Embarrassing 😢
@@salomaonplanetsaturn its worldwide viewership not js america
Spain and Netherleands?
Spain vs Nederlands 😂
327 views in 3 minutes?? I'm hungry
"While Spain and the Netherlands shine on the pitch " 0:25 ??
Just bad is crazy
Yet the Home country of Adidas has Nike kits. That must be personal
It's coming home! 🏴
Wait you sound like you have a german accent🤔😊
Liebe Grüße, die Videos sind super
Danke :)
Athletic interest really fell off they don't post nowadays
Adidas won the euro and copa America 😊
Fantastic ❤
Looking at nikes stock price might tell us nike is losing
How Nike is going to lose European soccer if it has Vinicius the best currently, Haaland and a Mbappe of 25 that is coming to Madrid.
I don't understand.
Aren't they sponsoring Germany now?
5 billion? I call bs on that
Millions, not billions, billions would be mad xD
🇮🇹 playing in those Adidas jerseys felt wrong i remember the 94 and the 02 kits fondly also but the puma kits have been my favorite they won the 2006 WC in puma kits
I knew Spain and England was the final
Now next Year Germany will be sponsored by Nike that is in my opinion is the biggest sign that there is something wrong with German Football...
Large Adidas emblem for the win.
Spain 🇪🇸 and Holland 🇳🇱 are not playing in the finals together. England 🏴 won 2:1, do it will play integral final match.
aye bruh, its spain and england
I would love for JB to win the Euro's but his national team is sponsored by Nike so Iam Spain 🇪🇸 supporter coz there are wearing adidas so go go Espania!!🎉🎉
