anyway, my issue is that the 100 is probably because of that logo on the side and has nothing to do with quality.

$100 is too much in your opinion

so have a bake sale to offset costs

lemonade is also an option

since you're so charitable as of late, ncsuwolfy, then perhaps you'll contribute to my costs here.

I have a couple pairs of Lacoste sneakers and they are very nice. I've had them for at least 3 years and they've held up great!!

You can sometimes find them cheaper if you really hunt, but the $100 is well worth it!!!

I paid $100 for shoes. They're specially fitted running shoes after my feet and gait were analyzed. I don't think I'd pay more than $50 for regular shoes, but that's just me.

^ that's your problem. if you would just run barefoot, then you wouldn't have to spend $100 on special running shoes.

wearing running shoes is about as conformist as you can get.

^^ I run... A LOT... and having properly fitted running shoes is to keep my feet from injury, not to look cool.

I will never understand why people wear shoes (or clothes) with the producer's corporate logo on them

are you thinking, "now people will know what brands I wear," or, "Yea! now I belong to the clique that wears these"

plenty of companies don't put their logo anywhere (or at least anywhere noticeable) on their products

are ALL of those companies producing somehow inferior products?

is there something magical about putting your logo where everyone can see it that makes the product better?

why is it that this practice almost exclusively occurs with mid-to-high-end clothing and shoes?

("mid-to-high-end" does not mean high-quality)

does anyone actually believe for a second that this isn't simply about bullshit sophistication?

and making clothing and shoe consumers into walking billboard advertising whores?

I've got a huge closet and two dressers full of clothes

cause they know doing so is dumb, I guess

it's the mid-to-high-end stuff that's the worst about it

they're all, "hey! our stuff is high end! really! our logo is easy for all to see, so they'll know you're cool!"

LOGOS ARE FOR BUSINESS CARDS, LETTERHEADS, AND PACKAGING -- NOT TO TURN PRODUCTS INTO ADS

Stupidest thing I've read today. That may be what your idea of a logo is, but it isn't the world's.



Plz to look at this:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logo

hey 392,
i have a marketing project on product branding that im going to need you to work on.
sounds like you would be great at advertising / marketing esp. when trying to grow a brand name for trust and recognition.

congrats, idiot

the "world", as you assert, doesn't have an idea of what a logo is or how it should be used

individuals do that, and I, as well as millions of others, apparently disagree with you

oh wait, did you mean "every individual in the world" when you said "world"? yeah, that's rational


Quote :
"Plz to look at this:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logo"

stop being so god damn stupid, you fucking troll

I'm expressing a personal opposition to ONE PARTICULAR use of logos (highly visible ones on products, esp. clothes/shoes)

not logos and branding in general

fuck off and learn to read

no where have I said that I oppose logos or branding per se

I guess all those people that oppose billboards on the blue ridge parkway are ANTI-LOGO COMMIES

(get a clue)


if you marketing whores want someone to take on, how about these guys? (of whom I'm unaffiliated)

i'm gonna show how unique and original and non-conformist i am by buying the same non-logo shoes that all the other unique and original non-conformists are going to wear

btw you talk about blatantly biting the shit out of chuck taylors

THESE MIGHT LOOK LIKE CONVERSE ALL STARS, BUT THERES NO STAR! ITS JUST A NON-LOGO CIRCLE! TOTALLY NON-CONFORMIST!

i did...since those shoes look like somebody went into converse's factory, stole a black pair of lowtop chuck taylors, changed the logo to an "anti-logo" and sold them without changing anything else about them

or,

two different shoe producers independently arrived at a similar design for inexpensive yet durable shoes



(again, I'm not affiliated with those guys, so I don't know -- perhaps they wanted to "rip off" chuck taylors)


besides, wouldn't most flip flops then be "rip offs" of the original flip flop?

iow, when products are designed "function before form", it shouldn't be surprising that they look similar across brands
