When these modern "nike style sneakers" by nike actually first came out they were actually high quality shoes, despite being that annoying nike style sneaker. They were kind of a "crocs" of the 90s.

After nike came out with them, then cheap knock off look alikes came out from all brands. Then nike obviously started using the cheap knockoff material so they all looked the same. Now EVERY SINGLE SHOE IN EXISTENCE FOR SALE are these shitty nike style shoes. WHAT THE F IS GOING ON.

Fuck yes. I hate shopping for shoes. Why would I pay $300 for a ridiculous looking piece of fucking footwear? So many look like goddamn basketball shoes. The other just look like some attempt at space age shoes, which never looks right. The rest look like shit. But that high price tag convinces the average person that it isn't shit, and must in fact be of high quality and desirable. Then, out of the haystack, you might find a decent, reasonable looking pair that doesn't look like you're trying to sell crack cocaine on the moon.

Shit's infuriating. I can't tell if the redpill has made me hate everything, or if this is me getting older. But everything sounds, tastes, and looks like fucking shit. The food is overpriced and soulless, the clothing makes us look retarded. The movies aren't in the slightest believable, and are 95% merely propaganda. The music sounds like shit. Can't walk out of the door without some faggot's car sounding like it has a vibrating ass plug in the tailpipe. What kind of fucking faggot wants to feel bass crawling up their fucking ass as they drive, anyway? Then, I have to mentally decipher the speech of the generation a hair younger than me, speaking in a mixture of pop culture, internet terminology, and ebonics.

I can't even keep myself from getting pissed off when trying to buy shoes.

I still like the high end American made work boots Redwing, or White. Exercise: New Balance makes some good American made walking and running shoes. Casual: Aurora Shoe Co makes a good loafer. Dress: get yourself a pair or two of custom-made shoes/boots Caboots is great at a fair price. And if your a hippy Earth Runner sandals

Right now I'm ordering a lot of rockport shoes online because I like leather shoes and sandals. I spent now two days looking through all the nearby stores and 90% were 100% sneaker stock. I eventually found a rockport shoe and size that fit. I'm having trouble finding a sandal though that doesn't pinch the foot.

Be a nurse and try to find durable and simple shoes that meet comfort needs. Impossible. Everything has a weird sole, heels, or ghastly rainbow puked colors. I now just buy Skechers w/ memory foam soles - or allbirds, which are the most comfortable shoes that I own.. they are washable merino wool and use only natural source rubber and plant materials.

It's hard to buy just a pair of white or black sneakers these days. All the manufacturers target niggers with bright colors and thin as paper shells.

I haven't been in the market for nigger shoes recently, but I find the casual footwear appropriate for my needs.

ALL shoes are nigger shoes anymore. Look at what everyone is wearing! It's ALL GARBAGE NIG SNEAKERS EVERYWHERE. It's because it's the only thing that's for sale anymore!

Not only that most of it looks like cartoonish clown world shit shoes.

Reebok makes a "Work Shoe". I've had a pair for a few months now and once broken in, they are pretty good and seem to be holding up. I'm in IT.

The problem I think you are seeing is design convergence.

fun fact, when Nike started manufacturing in China, the Chinese copied their manufacturing process completely to where the counterfeits were the exact same thing as the official Nikes.

Actually, made in China gives them trademarked access to copy it .. Plus, if their workers already make it they can mirror it elsewhere.

All industries were captured. Everything is stagnate because there is no need for the companies to innovate anymore.

Keen shoes aren't like that and they're pretty good quality. They also have shoes made

There is basically no brand of jeans that exist anymore that are actually cotton and leave room for balls anymore. Lee is the only brand I know and basically they are by order anymore because Sears etc all shut down.
