Everyone knows sneakers are as popular as ever—thank you, ever-present athleisure trend—but which shoes are people really buying? Footwear News reported on a new study, conducted by The NPD Group, which revealed that Adidas is officially the second most popular sneaker brand in the U.S., beat out only by Nike. Thanks to massive sales growth, Adidas overtook Jordan Brand—which is known for its famous Air Jordans—for the coveted spot.
Footwear News tapped an expert to weigh in on the study, who called it a "big seat change" and a "remarkable feat." In case it offers you any solace, you're definitely not alone if you've spent half of your paycheck on Yeezys and Gazelles.
