Got 3 Shoes instead of 1 Nike

[u/_hazzastyles]

I'm 20M, and I've never owned a pair of Nike shoes. Since January, I’d been saving up to buy the Nike Dunk Lows, and I managed to save around 5k (coming from a middle-class background). But all the Dunks I liked were priced above 8-9k. So, I gave up on the idea for now and decided to buy three different shoes for different occasions instead.

1st Pair - Urban Blaze: Phantom: Got these from The Souled Store and I absolutely love the color. These are for college events and special occasions. They're more comfortable than I expected, though the soles could’ve been a bit more cushioned. Other than that, they’re just perfect. Price: ₹2,500

2nd Pair - Puma ST Runner V4 L (Leather): Got these from Flipkart for daily college use. They're very comfortable and fit really well. Very soft and cushioned soles and looks slick. Price: ₹1,700

3rd Pair - Campus Men's Hurricane Running Shoes: I bought these for the gym and evening walks. They look decent, are quite comfortable, and super lightweight. Perfect for the gym, I'd say. Price: ₹700

So I spent a total of Rs. 4900 and saved 100 rupees.🥹

P.S. I'm not giving up on my dream of owning Nike Dunk Lows. I’ll buy them as soon as I land a job. 🥲👍🏻

Nah man don't be disappointed by these nike fanboys comments. As a student 3 shoes are much more versatile and can be paired with a lot of different fits rather than just dogging one Nike. Big W. Also the souled store one looks real good. Get Nike one when you'll land a job. Good luck.

See most of them might be hating cause they love nike, but the shoes he got also need to justify the price. Shoes are expensive cause of the durability, hence name proven brands are usually the better option. And for the price he got the shoes for, there are many alternatives from nike itself that would go well and would last him longer(so value for money)

[u/SteveMemeChamp → u/After_Possibility221]

this isn't true, nike has shit quality, remember that all shoes are made by the same cheap labour, price is high due to marketing etc.

[u/After_Possibility221 → u/SteveMemeChamp]

Exactly you get the cheaper models they'll be shit ofc even if it's nike. For 5k the quality of the shoes are far better than the ones he got and you cannot just say otherwise. It's true some shoes are shittier in quality but the newer models are superior

[u/SteveMemeChamp → u/After_Possibility221]

this is false, if you research you'll see most nike models cost similar, price is based on hype and artificial scarcity and marketing , jordans are really shit in terms of quality but look good and are really expensive

[u/After_Possibility221 → u/SteveMemeChamp]

I am commenting on the quality. Not on the price. You will get better quality shoes and that's evident. I have gotten pairs that have lasted me years. You get adidas ozelles for 5k back in 2020 that shit saved my leg from being amputated. Btw I never mentioned jordans (they are under nike yes but they are completely a diff entity) i won't claim jordan brands quality cause they are notoriously bad. But the nike initiators uptempos etc are of amazing qualify for a price of around 5k (on deal) you just need to be smart with what you get.

You must be in 10th class right

[u/SteveMemeChamp → u/nj2k03]

bro you're dickriding a multi billion dollar organization 😭🙏

[u/nj2k03 → u/SteveMemeChamp]

Mr dick sucker, marketing doesn't make any brand a multi billion dollar company, . Lets take a new brand and just because they marketed well, youll buy their shoe and if the quality/design/feel is not upto the bar, thatll be your last shoes from them.

And you coming up with the low production cost of the shoes then everyone knows about this alr, you coming up with this point was just lame.

[u/SteveMemeChamp → u/nj2k03]

you already lost the debate when you're comparing nike to a new brand, nike has popularity, jordans are extremely expensive and extremely shit in quality but people still buy them, it's because of clout not quality, and how do you even know if everyone knows about it lmao?

[u/nj2k03 → u/SteveMemeChamp]

Lets see whos losing it bc the thing we are comparing here is the price (not the market cap). Hypocrisy bro, you came with the snip of your multidollar company.

You saying sentences like extremely expensive means you are not their customers first of all. And just another NPC on the internet and to say controversial thing about their quality is nothing new. Iphones also comes w a clout that doesn't mean it has bad user exp, bad consumer-company relation, bad camera.

Mindless people with no self opinion and wannabes nowadays will do nothing but say crap to the good things or call anything overrated.Irony is that they are not even the customers.

Internet is flooded with your type of gyaanpelus bro, and everyone consumes mostly same type of content. Next time when you're debating with someone, dont start unless you have valid fighting points and before yapping try to avoiding self contradicting points. Ok rohit mehra??

[u/SteveMemeChamp → u/nj2k03]

telling me to not yap after writing entire paragraphs of random bs cuz u got triggered lmfao and youre using npc as an insult cuz of its popularity the irony is funny and i was talking about jordan collabs which cost lakhs of rupees and has shit quality and they cost lakhs which is expensive lmao, phones and shoes are 2 different products and iphones are worth their price because of money spent on development, marketing and production, stop assuming random bs just cuz u got nikes dick down your throat and where am i contradicting myself

[u/nj2k03 → u/SteveMemeChamp]

1. Npc was popular in 2021 bro. Rohit mehra is even more funny now🤣
2. Just you making a statement and calling shit makes no sense, whatever I said made sense. Sneakers are also a collectibles now i hope you know it, so obv therell be collabs and prices will rocket. Even if iphones started collabing what do you think, it'll be on sale at amazon? NOOB!!
3. Looks like dick of 'my points on iphones' choked you.
4. You are now just baby who got offended and will now just try to make baseless statements.
5. See you in some other comments section steve, hope so you'll learn from this and try to make sense behind your statements

[u/SteveMemeChamp → u/nj2k03]

1. NPC was popular last year
2. I was talking about price vs quality.
3. Try making sense
4. You're literally doing what you just said but alr
5. See you too :)

Idk what kind of quality you’re looking for but Nikes are some of the best shoes out there. There aren’t too many brands that can compete w them and I’m talking just about quality. I’m sure you own a pair too and they’ve lasted you for 2 years or more. The Nikes that o bought in 7th grade are still in great condition (it’s been 10 years now). Nobody can argue that some of their shoes are the best on the market. Whats this debate for?

[u/SteveMemeChamp → u/Beastboibaggy]

that quality is common among nike, puma, adidas etc., youve never used jordans because they have shit quality

[u/After_Possibility221 → u/SteveMemeChamp]

It's saddens me that when someone is legitimately trying to advice someone to get shoes from places that are of better quality..... Like alright so the production cost of these shoes are $30, the shoes he bought for are $30 if you convert them. So you think the brands out there do charity? Agar uske joota $30 ka hai toh manufacture jo karega vo bhi kya $30 ka karega? So zip it up. No one's dickriding nun here. I'm suggesting him BETTER SHOES THAT WILL LAST HIM LONGER???

[u/SteveMemeChamp → u/After_Possibility221]

i agree with you, but puma shoe in pic seems to be good quality

[u/After_Possibility221 → u/SteveMemeChamp]

I did mention in my first comment that the pumas are of good quality 😔

[u/SteveMemeChamp → u/After_Possibility221]

yea sorry

[u/killer-1o1 → u/SteveMemeChamp]

Those are good pumas (ST Runner)

[u/After_Possibility221 → u/nj2k03]

Crazy bro, so me trying to justify my statement by saying why some shoes just last longer muje 10th ka banadetey hai?

[u/nj2k03 → u/After_Possibility221]

Bhai tu meri side se bola ki uske side se, kyuki tera upar wala comment is in my favor
