"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!!!
I just want shoes that don't fall apart if I walk a lot in them. It seems like most of the popular brands have garbage quality, they start falling apart after just a few months of regular use.
Last pair of Etnies I bought was like 7 years ago and managed to hold up to 4 of those 7 years being used as "work shoes" while I was working a receiving dock at a grocery store for 4 of my 8 hours a day.
The soles are starting to wear a bit but the stitching is still solid and the uppers haven't cracked/split/torn. Its going to be a sad day when I finally need to buy a new pair but for the 75$ US that I spent they have been the most amazingly resilient sneakers I've ever worn.
