Probably not, most Nike’s are too narrow for me.

I agree – a Hagio with a knit upper would be very nice, the upper is my only problem with that shoe as it is rough internally. Also agree about the Gazelle – upper on that shoe is fantastic!

A huge waste of money on lawsuits. Clearly Nike invented knitting, just like Apple invented the rectangle.

Yeah, next up Nike sues my Mom for knitting my 2 year old son a sweater.

Personally I don’t care for nikes running (I also think they are too narrow, but also I just don’t like nike for multiple reasons) i have ran in some great adidas shoes though.

If they do as Nike did and only use that tech for their higher-drop racers (Adios), then move on, please. Local Nike-sponsored athletes weren’t too happy with the Flyknit, either – most don’t chose to race it in the end.
Also, why compete with this knit upper when they have the Gazelle’s amazing lycra-ish material? If they chose to actually market it as seriously as Nike hypes their Flyknit (and Flywire before), they could also get more buzz going.

Adidas couldn’t have just come up with a knitted shoe in four months after Nike launched in February to be slightly ahead in the ‘ermehgerd knitted shoe’ stakes.
