Task 5


Converse and Vans are definitely shoe's that celebrity's are known for wearing. Chris Brown and Lil Wayne have performed many concerts whilst wearing Van's. Converse are highly associated with basketball. Vans are highly associated with Skating. However they are still both very fissionable, stylish trainers. Now Adidas and Nike are very much associated with any sport they are known for almost every type of sport football,tennis,rugby,running and more. You would never see a rugby or football player wearing vans they are not that type of sport shoe. But you would see a Skater wearing Nikes. Nike and Adidas are very fissionable as-well.

Converse:

Sports Stars That Wear Converse :
Louis Williams
LeBron James

Le Bron James:
The reason I Chose LeBron is because he is always advertising converse. Also converse is associated a lot with basketball and he is a very big and well known basketballer. Also because he's american basketball is more of an American thing. Also converse are very big in America.Skateboarding And basketball is taken more seriously in America. He was the first person that came up when i searched for this topic. Showing he is well associated with converse.


Artists And Bands That Wear Converse
Rhianna                                                                    
Lil Wayne                                                                  
Newsboys                                                      
Ne-Yo
Justin Bieber
Wiz Kalifa
Good Charlotte
Lost Prophets

When you think of converse you think of people like Lil Wayne because they are the type of person that fits the converse style. He is crazy with his style wears clothes that stand out and has an easy and chilled way of living. You tend to think of R'n'B and rappers  when you think of artists that wear converse. Lil Wayne has performed concerts in converses. Also Ne-Yo aswell because he is an R'n'B artist and he is laid back aswell and likes to mix up his style.

Artists And Sports Stars That Would Never Wear Converse :

I Don't think Lady Gaga would wear any of the trainers as they wouldn't suit her image. They are to normal for her.I feel that rugby players would not wear converse as it simply wouldn't suit them at all. I Dont feel someone like Tom Jones would wear converse either because they are too out of his age group. They are trainers made for younger people.

Vans :

Artists And Bands That Wear Converse:
Chris Bron
Lil Wayne
Drake
Usher
Justin Bieber
Rhianna

Chris Brown is always wearing Vans. They suit his image because he is young and dresses like a skater. He is always going for the young vibe and Vans are definitely a trainer for young people. When you think of the types of artists that wear Vans you think of people like Chris Brown,Rhianna,Drake, Lil Wayne etc...

Sports Stars That Wear Vans:
I don't know a lot about the type of people who wear Van's as it's mainly skaters and i don't follow skating. The reason i say skating is because that it is the sport that Vans are mainly associated with. They have good grip they have cool patterns and design.

Artists That Would Not Wear Van's:
Susan Boyle
50 cent

You would never see someone like 50 cent wearing a pair of Vans because they dont suit him. He is more of a Nike kinda guy because they give off more of a bad vibe. Vans give off a friendly vibe. 50 Cent's image is this American gangster and no American gangster is wearing Vans.

Sports Star's That Would Not Wear Vans:
Johnny Wilkinson's
klitschko

Jonny Wilkinson wouldn't wear Vans because he is to big and hasn't got the image to pull off a pair of Vans. They are known as skater shoes so he wouldn't wear them. Vans go well with certain clothes e.g skinny jeans and i can't see Jonny wearing a pair of skinny jeans. Also Vans were made to big young and hip there target audience is kids. So a rugby player who is getting on wouldn't suit these trainers.

Adidas:


Artists That Wear Adidas:
Snoop Dogg
Wretch 32
Chris Brown

Wretch 32 is in the Adidas commercial wearing loads of Adidas clothes. He is working with them on the Take to Stage project so this is why i said him. Snoop Dogg has always worn Adidas and promoted them. He has done competitions and give away's and is often seen in Adidas clothing.

Sports Stars That Wear Adidas:
David Beckham
Steven Gerrard
Most footballers

I chose David Beckham as he is a very well known footballer and he wears Adidas clothing. He is a footballer and i feel Adidas is one of the main sports makes. I would say almost everyone who does sport wears or has worn Adidas. They are such a common brand.He is a very keen sportsman who pushed himself as far as he could go and that is  what Adidas is about.

Artists That Would Not Wear Adidas:
Celine Dion

I picked Celine Dion because Adidas would not suit her image. She has way to much class to be wearing a pair of Adidas. She just isn't someone you think of when you think about Adidas trainers.

Sports Stars That Would Not Wear Adidas
klitschko

I chose Klitschko because Adidas has never had that much to do with boxing. There are so many other brands that specialise in boxing where as Adidas doesn't. I feel he doesn't really suit the Adidas image because Adidas is more to do with football and fassion. Boxing is a completly different type of sport.

Nike:


Bands And Musicians That Wear Nike:
50 Cent
Kanye West
Jay Z
Eminem
Justin Bieber

I Picked 50 cent because Nike are a very known and established shoe and i feel they fit into the category for bad and reckless.  They are such out there shoes because they come in so many different colours and they stand out. So i feel they go well with the 'i got something to express' attitude. They have always been in the rap scene and have given themselves this name and this is why i chose 50 cent because in his songs he's always explaining things , getting his views across and talking about growing up as a gangster.
Sports Stars That Would Wear Nike:
Roger Federa
Cristiano Ronaldo
I chose cristiano because he is an amazing footballer and he promotes and has done advertisements for Nike. He is the image that Nike want an amazing athlete with passion. He is always trying to improve the way he plays. When people think of Nike they think of sport straight away not fassion. He is a great sportsman and a good figure head for Nike.

Bnads And Musicians That Wouldn't Wear Nike:
Chris Brown
Beyonce
Christina Agulera

Chris Brown wouldn't wear nike because it's not the image that he is going for. He is going for the young,party lifestyle attitude. Nikes don't give off this vibe they give off a more serious vibe. Chris Brown likes to be seen as a laid back easy going guy. He likes canvas shoes a Nike specialise in more high-top shoes.He want's to look like he doesn't try to hard to look good. With Nikes they are so out there it looks like your trying to be out there.

Sports Stars That Wouldn't Wear Nike:
David Haye

David Haye wouldn't wear Nikes because they don't do much and are not that involved with with boxing they are more concentrated on running,football and rugby.
