1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose of the review & overview of this review content
Figure 1. The overall information received
The purpose of this study was to see how many people liked and agreed with the two most
popular and intensive running shoe brands among consumers, Adidas and Nike. Running
activities are performed in high-quality shoes such as the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 38 or the
Adidas Ultra Boost 21.
According to the findings of this review, the majority of the respondents in this review are
women with single status (98%), with the remainder being men. The average age of responders
is 18 to 25 years old, 16% is 26 to 35 years old, and the remaining 4% is under 18 years old,
thus from here. Furthermore, the percentage of Malay respondents is higher than that of
Chinese and others. Malays make up 96% of the population, with Chinese accounting for 1%
and the remaining 3%. Diploma students have the highest level of education on average,
followed by 44 percent degree students, 34 percent secondary school students, and the
remaining 6 percent postgraduate degree students. Furthermore, 25% of respondents are
employed, 14% are jobless, and the remainder is students. Also according to the findings of
this study, the majority of them enjoy sports-related activities, with only 14% disinterested.
Respondents were given six options for the most comfortable running shoes. The heated
competition between Nike and Adidas left four more varieties of shoes, mainly sketchers (6%)
Page 3 of 34
and under armour (2%). Similarly, Nike and Adidas compete fiercely in the market for trendy
shoes.
Then, based on the statistical respondents' understanding of the product, we discovered that
they recognize and have purchased running shoes. Nonetheless, Nike running shoes have a
bigger percentage of consumers than Adidas sneakers. The Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 38
accounts for 52% of the total, while the Adidas Ultra Boost 21 accounts for 48%. According
to the findings of this poll, the two most popular brands among respondents are Nike and
Adidas. The poll results also revealed that respondents prioritized quality, comfort, lifestyle,
dependability, and suitability for sports over price. Because sports shoes are used for athletic
activities that need endurance, they are unconcerned about the price of a shoe. The majority of
them like to shop at shopping malls, with 40% preferring to do so. Furthermore, 28 percent
prefer to shop at sporting goods stores, 12 percent at online websites, and the rest at department
stores.
Based on these data, we may conclude that their expertise is more vulnerable to Nike and
Adidas, both of which have a high percentage. True, the two are competing not only in this
review, but also in the eyes of the rest of the globe. Finally, the frequency of purchasing shoes
based on survey answers revealed that respondents buy them once a year.

1.3 Methodology
I. Evaluate the product

Product evaluation is the process of determining the suitability and safety of a manufactured
product for consumer use. Product evaluation is carried out for two primary reasons. Which is
to ensure product follow the specifications and to identify any defects.
For a product to be successful, it should have the characteristics of a good product. It should
be functional, dependable, safe, and well-made. The following are two areas of product
evaluation that can help ensure a product's success:
 Manufacturing Procedures
The goal of evaluating manufacturing procedures is to reduce manufacturing flaws.
Manufacturing defects are caused by flaws or errors during the manufacturing process.
The use of low-quality materials and negligence are two of the most common causes of
errors.
 Design specifications
Design defects refer to cases where despite the functionality of the product its design
causes risk to the consumer. A common design defect is those poorly designed
mechanisms that contain toxic or dangerous substances.
II. Data collection method

For data collection, we have created a google form for students to fill out. These are some
reasons why we choose this method to define which one from our product is better:
 Save Time - when we use this method for our surveys, we can save time. not only saves
our time but also saves the time of those who answered this survey. this is because we
don’t have to meet face to face which will definitely take quite a long time.
 Save Money - if we conduct a face-to-face survey, we must provide a copy of the
survey form for students to complete. It will cost money because you will need to make
copies based on the number of respondents requested.
 Easier - nowadays, everything revolves around technology. We use this platform to
help all parties, just like the survey form. They just can use phone to fulfill the survey
form.

2.0 CONTENT
Figure 2.1 Respondents of the design of the product.
Throughout this survey, the majority of the respondents love the design of Nike Air Zoom
Pegasus 38 which contributes the highest percentage which is 37%. The percentage of
respondents who agree and strongly agree shared the same percentage where a total of 17
people had made their choice by stating that the design of the shoes was very elegant and
catered to their tastes. Besides, some of the respondents vote for neutral and it contributes to
23.9% which only 11 people who said the design may be too familiar to them. However, it can
be seen from the data that has been obtained, there are still those who disagree with the design
of these shoes and it contributes to 2.2%. Shoe design is very important to attract customers,
especially shoe lovers. The shoes can give the key piece of good look and also attract glances.
By choosing the correct design, it can vital to the health of our feet.

Figure 2.2 Respondents' opinions on the various colors of products.
From the survey, mostly the respondents agree that Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 38, it means that
they know this shoe brand so well. Throughout this survey,22 respondents agree the shoes have
various colors that contribute to the highest percentages which are 47.8%. Only a few people,
however, strongly agree that these shoes are available in a variety of hues. Only 9 respondents
(19.6%) agreed that this shoe is available in a variety of colors, according to the study. Only
15 respondents (32.6 percent) argue that this brand comes in a variety of hues on the neutral
scale. Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 38 has a variety of colors. Colors also play important roles in
design elements. Whether intentional or not, colors give meaning to design because colors can
spur emotions and also express values. So, for this shoe brand, the colors come in Copa, blue-
ribbon sports, barely rose, wolf grey, and more. So it will the next criteria that we put on our
survey is regarding the colors of the shoes.
Page 8 of 34
According to the graph above, 9 people (20% agree) and the percentage increase increased to
44.4 percent, which means 20 people who firmly believe that Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 38 shoes
are cool and breathe more. fitting on the toes. The number of people who strongly agreed fell
to 35.6 percent, or 16 people. The Pegasus 38 fits true to size, as confirmed by testers. Therefore,
you can buy your usual size for running shoes. The Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 38 shoes are the
running shoe equivalent of Goldilocks. Because the Pegasus is available in a variety of sizes
for both men and women, Nike may be better suited to a wide range of feet. With a broader fit
on the toes and plenty of cushion support, these shoes are cool and breathable. I didn't notice it
was a little heavier than planned until I was in it for a longer time.
Page 9 of 34
Figure 2.4 Respondents of the cushion support for these shoes.
So, based on the results, we can conclude that the majority of them agree the Nike Air Zoom
Pegasus 38 has a lot of cushion support. Regarding the cushion support for these shoes, none
of the respondents disagreed. According to the survey, only 11 people, or 23.9 percent, believe
the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 38 has a lot of cushions. The biggest percentages come from
agreeing with respondents, who account for 19 respondents and provide 41.3 percent. The
second biggest percentage, on the other hand, come from 16 responders, who provide 34.8
percent. Moreover, the next criteria that we are carry on in this survey is based on the cushion
support. Cushion support on shoe is very important because it can relieve the strain on our body
by reducing the force generated by its impact with the ground. Other function of cushioning in
running shoes is to reduce the degree of adaptation needed in order to achieve maximum
comfort while using the least amount of energy possible.

The Nike Pegasus 38 features an innovative mesh upper for lightweight breathability and a
breezy running sensation. This shoe weighs approximately 8 Oz to 10 Oz, making it incredibly
light and perfect for running activities. According to the data we gathered, the majority of
respondents agree that these sneakers are quite light. According to the results, 21 respondents
agree with 45.7 percent. Only 12 people vote indifferent, while the rest of the people (13 in
total) vote strongly agree.
Page 11 of 34
Figure 2.6 Respondents agree of the product that provide extra support for a long time.
For a long time, the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 38 sneakers will provide extra support. As far as
we can tell, the new Nike Pegasus 38 lives up to the shoe's reputation as a comfortable daily
trainer for any beat, with new matches such as outstanding fit, softness, and flexibility that
generally necessitate long usage periods, and rides that smooth the ride for most runners. As
shown in the graph above, the majority of respondents chose a rating of 4 since not all
respondents believe that Nike Pegasus 38 Nike Air Zoom shoes provide long-term support.
However, the majority of responders largely indicated agreement on the scale. This is because
everyone knows that the Nike brand is high-quality and well-known in the Malaysian and
international markets. As we can see, the percentages for scales 3 and 5 are the same, that is
26.1 percent agree, which equates to 12 respondents. The largest percentage of those who
agreed was 47.8 percent or 22 persons.

Figure 2.7 Respondents of the quality of the product.
Based on figure 2.7 show that a total of 45 respondents completed this survey form, with the
majority of them scoring on a scale of 4 (42.2%, or 19 persons). 33.3 percent, or 15 strong
people, expressed strong agreement, while as many as 11 people, or 24.4 percent, indicated
neutral, or a moderate attitude regarding this statement.
Page 13 of 34
According to the respondents from figure 2.8, the majority of them agreed on a scale of 5,
which is 47.7 percent or 21 people. There are a few responders that indicated on scale 2 which
is less agreeable (2.3 percent). However, the increase in scale selection in the aforementioned
stage may be noted. The Adidas Ultra boost 21 will be released in a variety of colorways on
February 4, 2021. The centerpiece profile has been enlarged, and the top has received aesthetic
upgrades. The plastic middle leg cage has reappeared, however, it adds unnecessary stiffness
to the leg. As previously stated, the stage above explains why we appreciate these Adidas Ultra
Boost 21 shoes because it is entirely dependent on the design and materials used.
Page 14 of 34
Figure 2.9 Total value of the product.
Each product or type of shoe chosen must meet the buyer's preferences. For example, based on
the figure 2.9, we know that comfortability, quality, and durability are the top three factors
preferred by customers in this poll. This is because purchasers prefer shoes that are comfortable
to wear and have a long lifespan. This is an important consideration while shopping for shoes.
However, a few people disagree with the pricing, citing the fact that the price of these shoes is
extremely high due to their endurance. Furthermore, stylishness and comfortability received
the largest number of votes in this study. This shows that the value of the product is highly
valued by purchasers or consumers, even if the price is fairly reasonable as long as the quality
is good.
