yeh nah, thats the economic principle, that adam smith deisgnated, all people buy the best product at the best price for them, thats the point, so if nike sell shoes, they must be the best option for those people, if they sell the MOST shoes, then the must be the best product, its not an opinion at all, its the entire system

and my favourite part is presuming that everyone but yourself is an idiot, i think we have worked it out, and nike is rad, this is a democracy, the people have spoken, you lose
if you don't buy nikes now your just a hypocrite
nuff said
not really buddy...
I don't give a fuck about what shoes are called or how long they have been around, I care about how durable they are and how well they skate. What's it like being more concerned about image than function? It must be awesome to feel so legit. I guess I will never know because I am just a poser that would rather actually skate than argue about what company is better to build up my skate cred.
Jeje, There are a lot of variables when it comes to sales, just because Pizza Hut sells more pizza than “Joe’s Italian Pizza Shop” down the road or whatever it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the better option, they may just have a better marketing strategy and more money to expand their business.. Or a team of guys in a board room thinking, alright..How we can sell this shoe for 200+ dollars that’s worth a mere fraction of the retail price.

but if you have a choise of pizza hut and joeys and you pick pizza hut then it is a better option for you at the time, thats the point
and that my friends is how the 200 dollar shoe-pizza was invented.
yeah but you may only be buying pizza from pizza hut because you saw it on TV.. Doesn’t mean actually mean you will like it more. Similar to shitty pop music in a way.
but thats not an argument against what im saying, when you have a choice, the one you pick will be the better product for you, given its visual merits, advertising just highlights visual merits
hahaha, this is awesome 2 pages without shoes, come on we can string it out a bit further yet.
@Jejen et.al. - You said Nike is the best because they sell the most, not that Nike is the better option because they sell the most or whatever your wack argument is. Its so incomprehensible I can't even follow what you are trying to say hahaha.
Now pizza on the other hand...

They have the money and power to influence you perhaps, you might not even know the opposing option exists because they don’t have funds/skills to market their shit properly, and entice you to invest in their shit. Like fat kids who want maccas because they see other fat kids on TV eating happy meals, when they might not even know that a home cooked burger is 10 times fucking tastier.. but like me, they won’t work that out until much later in life.
deathproof hit the nail on the head with that last comment
there should be no more argument aboutit
jeje looses
its just economics, supply and demand, more demand is more supply...
no demand, no supply, nike has lots of demand, for a reason
yeah true, their company is aimed at an extremely broad range of people.. Basketball players, hip hop enthusiasts, skaters, lads, hot milfs at the gym and now skateboarders.
They will never run out of demand
said skaters twice really soz
and thus my point, if they sell shoes, people want them, so good on em
Doesn’t mean they’re the best, just marketed wisely, and applicable towards a lot of social groups, skating is just ONE of those many groups. Shoe brands who are committed to only skaters have a lot to make up for compared to big all round shoe brands like Nike and so forth. So that’s my last post, bye xoxo
Speaking of nike....prod 4 high
not really a fan
that looks like some horrible shoe from the future.
disgusting
it looks like it would either put your ankle in an uncomfortable position or has an extra inch of sole behind your heel
these on the other hand look very nice.
thanks for bringing the thread back krang.
those grey on grey campus' in the background look sweeet
