Not exactly for life, but my nike shoes with nike air cushioning were breaking down wayyy too fast, I wouldve expected they would last at least 2 years with good care, but after a few months the sole was worn down and the sole started loosening at the back of the shoe on another one, I have worn multiple pairs of Adidas Ultraboost out, to the point that the sole was tearing, but it didnt really bother me, since the bounce was still there. now i am going back to Adidas, which is a bit unfortunate since i find the nike shoes often better looking. I am now looking at Moc Toe Red Wings for Boots as i find it appealing to have leather as a shoe material.

I’ve had similar build quality issues with Nike in the past.
Adidas are great, I absolutely abuse my Ultraboosts and will look to buy my third pair in 5 years if I can find a good enough discount somewhere this weekend. Only because the sole has worn completely away, the rest of the shoe is still good as new and looks it when I clean them.

Yeah, mine have been slaughtered through and through, even in the winter i wear my ultraboosts, but cold rdy ones, i have had 4 pairs over the last 5 years or so, considering i am walking, running, working out, traveling, trekking etc. in them they have hold up very well

I’ve bought two pairs of nikes in recent memory. Pair 1 had the midsole partially collapsing like 2 month into use. The second pair needed the toe cap glued back on after 3 weeks and didn’t stay waterproof as long as other similar shoes. I think their build quality has just gone to hell.
My adidas have all 3 been going for years, and the oldest pair has only just started to show signs of wearing through the sole (which is very sad because they’re so comfortable)
