its a shame nike and adidas are so popular. pretty sure they make all their shit in sweatshops and pay the kiddies there 0.0001p an hour

yes you are very stylish, but think about where your £80 for those shoes is really going.

i don't understand people that collect trainers either. some people have hundreds of pairs of nikes. mad shit. you can't put a shoe on a platter and listen to it, so why bother collecting them? :lol:

Not true, maybe back in the 70's or 80's. Its all above board, theres regulators and even the governments in china etc are on it. Its the fake factorys which are the ones to watch.

But some would say the same to you about vinyl - you cant wear a record, and I already have it on CD... :lol:

Plus, have you seen how much Nike Dunks go for after they get 'rare'? Hundreds to thousands of dollars a pair. I know dudes that will buy three pair of the rare editions - One to wear, one to sell and one to save. Instant gratification, instant profit and instant investment.

I feel you on the popularity of Nike and Adidas, although I dont think (but Im not sure) that Adidas is a sweatshop company, isnt most of their stuff made in Europe? I havent bought Nikes in probably 16 years since I was in high school and started to learn about them.

Other than Adidas I try to buy smaller skate shoes companies or companies like Simple that are more green. I buy Addidas cause they usually hold up really well, my last pair are more than a year old and dont look more than 3 months old and are comfortable as hell, on top of looking dope.

Na, adidas is mainly in Asia aswell.
But to be honest, about 90% of the brands people buy, primark and H&M included is made in the same way as nike and Adidas.

If you wanna get picky. Buying cheap clothes s just as bad, if not worse. Its only fueling the demand for people in Asia to work for less or for factorys still in Europe to be relocated.

Here's a question:

Is it better to be judged by people such as £10 bag for choosing to wear nikes and adidas or by a lady for what shoes you're wearing?

This fred ist funneee.

Badger-san, I can only guess your power of reasoning faltered to bring you to that conclusion. My simply posing a question does not indicate my caring one way or t'other.

prik is actually going to included in the next edition of the oxford english dictionary. forensix, however, is clearly not a word. unless it's a word spelt by a retard
