“Why yes, my overpriced fake leather nostolgiabait shoes that have nothing in it, dont come in wide, and gives people pla tar fasciitis is muxh better than the other overpriced fake leather hipsterbait shoe!!!”
And then kids will literally screech in the damn store if they dont get their shitty nike shoe, becayse its about the NAME of the BRAND!!!
FUCK OFF SNEAKERHEADS YOU ALL SUCK!!!
I have a tangential bone to pick with people who worship brands like Nike and get their magnifying glass out if they suspect something is a “knockoff” or whatever.
If you have to inspect it that closely, count the stitches or whatever the fuck. It just is literally the same shoe my guy.
I don’t care who made it it’s a gucci nike whatever.
If you argue with me about this you’re admitting that there’s literally nothing special about (brand) products. It’s so blatantly classist that at no point it occurs to them that if it takes that level of investigation to figure it out, they’re the same shoe in any meaningful way.
I do like Nikes because they have some cool looking shoes. Don’t care much for AJ1s or their Jordan lineup in general, but they have more experimental techwear stuff which is cool. But outdoor wear companies like North Face and Arcteryx are also making them now. Expensive as hell, but as long as they look cool
