Air Force One Shoe - What Is The Problem With Them

What is it the matter with idiots and their shoes. I can swear, there are many people out there willing to spend well over $100 dollars on custom air force One shoes, and for what I ask? Well, maybe so that they can have that stupid swish on the side of their feet? I am telling you, the investment in Air Force 1 shoes just does not make sense at all. I didn’t think that Nike was even cool or hip anymore, after all of the controversy over the sweatshops that it owns, and apparently, there are still some people who are willing to shell out $150 dollars for a pair of Air Force 1 shoes.
For me, I have always hated to have brand names on my clothing. Even when I was playing soccer and would be forced to wear a brand name shoe, I would never buy Air Force 1 or some other super trendy sneaker. Whatever I would get, I would always block out the label on it with some permanent marker. If I was feeling especially creative, I would perhaps paint up the whole shoe with my very own unique design. But would someone wearing a Nike Air Force 1 shoe ever have the creativity and capability to modify his own clothing. You know, it is possible that he would, but I am sure that I certainly highly doubt it.
And with all of the hype around the gym shoes, I have never heard any evidence that one will help you run faster, jump higher, or do anything else any better than any other ordinary shoe. People don’t wear air force Ones just because they are superior shoes. They wear them because they see one of their sports idols wearing it, and everyone has to try to be just like their idol, don’t they? I wish that people would spend that Air Force 1 money to do something helpful, or at least creative in very sense. They could learn a specific skill with that $150 dollars, or buy some art supplies. They could buy a couple pairs of nice black spot sneakers for the price of one pair of Nike Air Force 1 shoes, and be set in the footwear department for a whole year. But do they even consider doing something sensible like this? Judging by the people who I know that wear Nike Air Force 1 shoes, well, it seems very unlikely. But you never know. Maybe they will see the error of their way - someday.
