I think it's cool that Chuck Taylors never go out of style. My older brothers wore them back in the 1970's, people wore them back in the 1950's and 60's, and people still wear them today.


They're stylish and iconic.  8)

Worst part is though that they're so common and you can see people wearing the same shoes as you. And I'm the type to look the other way and not acknowledge their existence when that happens  :-X

I wear Vans and Converse, never liked Nike and now have even less reason to.


Converse is owned by Nike.

Lmao @ all these videos popping up of triggered Republicans burning their Nike shoes. Do they think their boycott will actually do anything? Nike owns a big chunk of the global marketshare.

How else are we going to own the libs? ???

What I'm confused by is what burning Nike shoes is supposed to be accomplishing. They already have your money! ;D

Maybe some trendy kids will buy Nike shoes just to burn them :P

Different marketing and brand identity.

I like Skechers better anyway.  ;D


I wear Skechers for work.

That doesn't matter. Nike is still getting your money lol.

Sketchers and New Balance are the official shoes of White People™ ;D.

Gotta clown on 'em and put em in their place for things they didn't do lmfaooo.

Really I ought to burn that pair of Nikes that my brother have me, not because I want to make any kind of political statement but because they are such horrible, God-awful shoes that, being a fundamentally decent person, I feel I have an obligation to mankind to reduce those damned things to ashes so I can eliminate the possibility that any human being can ever wear them again.

TBH I have a pair of Nike's from around 2010, and the white plastic has turned yellow. In another pair which I think I also bought in 2010, the shoes make sound like small marbles are rolling inside them. I wore these shoes a lot back when I was still in high school but I stopped wearing them as soon as I got another pair. They just naturally deteriorated over time even though I wasn't wearing them.  ???

I do have a pair of Nike's from 2009 that though look very beat up, I still wear when exercising and they still do the trick, and a reflecting neon green/purple pair from 2012/2013 that I use while cycling for better visibility, and they still look really fly.

I guess they can be hit or miss in terms of quality, but considering how much you pay for them it's really subpar all things considered.  ???

I like vans and converse because of their 70s/90s style design and how sleek they look. I tend not to like big sneakers as a rule.


Same here. Ever since 2011 I've only been wearing converse.

I've had other pairs of Nikes in the past and although none of them ever bothered my knee the way the pair I've been ranting about did, it does seem that they fell apart a lot more quickly than other shoes I've owned.

One nice thing about getting older is that you get less concerned about being hip or trendy and more concerned about just being comfortable, so I give zero f*cks about whether or not the younger generation considers Skechers to be "white people shoes."  ;D

I was thinking the same thing.


Cat

Buying stuff for the express purpose of destroying it only makes the thing in question more popular because it's seen as rebellious. IE Beatles records after John Lennon made the "We're bigger than Jesus comment." It's a dumb thing to do financially, and counter-intuitive psychologically.

I also wear Nike and they're quite comfortable, anybody else wear them too?
