Once again I'll be at work when you guys finish this thread off. I think you all are conspirators against me.

also god forbid people spend money on quality when they could wear all sweats and goodwill shoes for 15 bucks

This is a silly argument in response to someone talking about $300 basketball sneakers. You aren't paying for "quality" at that point, you're paying for branding. The obvious alternative isn't shoes from Goodwill.

First, that the joys of an opinion. I'm allowed to have one and it doesn't have to match yours. I didn't say you couldn't like them. IN MY OPINION THEY ARE UGLY.

Second, there is a difference between buying quality and spending too much. I never said don't buy quality, nor did I say anything about wearing only sweat pants or going to the goodwill. Please don't put words in my mouth.

that's false. $300 shoes, which I didn't feature, incidentally, are indeed generally manufactured with better materials, higher standards of production, etc.

There's a status associated with various brands that drives up the price but those likely to be 100-130 dollar shoes I posted have pretty decent construction and pattern for that price range.

Conspicuous consumption is another thing altogether and in this case it's inaccurate to claim it

yes, and opinions aren't inherently valid/deserving of acknowledgement respect. The right to have an opinion is.

Nah I'm mocking afino acting as if charging fair value for nicer shoes is some laughable concept
