It's all part of the slouch aesthetic of not wanting to look like you care that defines our generation. The truth is the reverse, appearing not to try is the new trying. People who wear Adidas Originals stay up until past midnight to wait for a clothes drop on the Basement or some other obscure invite only Facebook group, where branded clothes from the 90s are put up for sale at an extortionate price for you to then sell on for an even more extortionate price. But not all sports brands are equal, some are way more try hard than others. Here is our definitive ranking of which sports brands are the most try hard. Adidas – 6/10 try hard

Sportswear is no longer just for the gym, and hasn't been for quite some time. On campuses and even in clubs, you'll see people donned in baggy vintage Nike t-shirts, sad boys wearing the same grey Slazenger sweatshirt day in, day out, and how come every girl seems to own a pair of Reebok classics? Sure, these people are try hard, and their entrepreneurial spirit and excellent Depop is what helps make them so try hard, but you can’t slag them off too much due to how much money they’re rolling in from flipping clothes.

Just plain Adidas is for those who are merely dipping their toe in the sportswear water, too pussy to just dive straight in. They like safe options, like drinking a pint of Amstel and deciding to go to Nottingham Uni. They're a nice guy, harmless, and want to be a better version of themselves but just can't quite get there. Adidas is one of the big boys of sportswear, so much so they have Adidas and Adidas Originals. This means that by default if you're wearing normal Adidas you're automatically less try hard than your "Originals" counterparts. They look like something out of the Matrix, wear rave shades to Tesco and can somehow pull off wearing cargo pants. They all study, or at least wish they were studying, at Bristol.
