Day 6 

Fifth Task

This task is all about celebs who wear different brands of trainers.


Converse

This is the artist Rihanna wearing converse on what looks to be a casual day. I chose Rihanna for the fact that she wears converse casually. She doesn't wear them for a sponsor or to get her own look across, she wears them because she likes them, just like a normal non-celeb would.

This is the band Newsboys and they are all wearing converse:



I chose this picture because it shows how they are all also wearing converse. They might be wearing them just for the picture and there is one red pair to stand out and be different, or it was a coincidence that they were all wearing converse when the picture was taken and they actually wear converse casually anyway.

I struggled to find a picture of sports stars wearing converse. All I could find is an NBA basketball star Larry Bird wearing them in a game:

Someone that I don't see wearing converse is rapper Eminem:

This is because they are completely not the kind of style. He wears more nikes and the air force kind of thing.

A sports star that would never wear converse is Gervinho. He plays for arsenal and the every time I see him not in a football kit, he is wearing a suit or a tracksuit.

Vans

Singer Justin Beiber is known to wear vans as we can see from this picture here:

I chose him because he is very famous and him wearing vans will promote them a lot.

I searched the web for a sports star wearing vans but I couldn't find a picture anywhere. I tried searching for individual people but I still couldn't find anyone wearing vans. Better for converse I guess. Well, converse are better anyway :)

Again, musicians that would never wear vans are the rappers and the sort of, un-trendish end of the industry. Eminem, Lil Wayne, Drake and all of them kind of artists.

Types of bans that would never wear bands are the older generation. For example ACDC, guns and rose etc. They tend to stick to more old style than what is more recent and upcoming.

Adidas

I also couldn't find any celebrities wearing adidas. I think adidas have taken more the side of sports trainers rather than trendy trainers. The type of musician that would possibly wear adidas trainers are the ones who care less about their look, so maybe rappers, but I can't be sure because I haven't found any pictures.

This is arguably the most famous footballer of all time David Beckham wearing adidas football boots:

The likelihood is that he didn't choose what boots he was going to wear, he was most probably sponsored by adidas so he wears their boots as advertisement in return. A lot of footballers are wearing adidas boots as they are sponsoring a lot of teams. 

Another footballer Lukas Podolski of arsenal wearing Adidas football boots.

Singers that are less likely to wear adidas are the females. Adidas is a majority male brand and less aimed at females. I looked on the web for a female artist wearing adidas trainers but I couldn't find anything which backs up my point that adidas is more aimed at men.

I don't think there are any sports stars that would 'never wear adidas'. Adidas being a sporty brand is used in all types of sports. The only thing I can think of is if a sports person signs a contract with one brand. This means they will have to wear that brand and therefore won't be wearing adidas.

Nike

The musicians that are more likely to wear nike are rappers and that type of genre that don't care as much about their style and their look like I said about adidas. I mentioned Eminem earlier and here he is wearing nike air max's:

This backs up what I said about rappers being less trendy and not going for what is new and trying to get their own original style knows.

Exactly similar to what I said about adidas, sports stars that wear nikes are everywhere. Nike sponsor a lot of footballers. Here is Wayne Rooney wearing Nike football boots:

Similar to Beckham, he was probably approached by nike and given a large sum of money to wear their boots rather than choosing the boots himself.

I think nike is a lot more likely to be worn by artists because they are better known and nike aren't as focused on just sports, they are also quite focused on bringing out new styles as they have just bought out their new brand of 'nike blazers'.
