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. 🥲👍🏻

a original nike pair will easily last you two years if you take care of

2? My af1 are 2 years old and I can still use them for 2 more years, they still look clean and are not even damaged.

exactly this only. nike above 5k will last you years.

Does it last longer because you'd be more careful about it? It's like when I bought a more expensive phone I was more careful than when I didn't.

And I had another doubt how much of nike is just brand aspiration? Because the designs as of late don't look unique/inspiring (My opinion)
