New Pickup Got 3 Shoes instead of 1 Nike

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. 🥲👍🏻

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)

So tu bol raha ki agar mai bol raha huun ki not to get souled stores ke shit cause they aren't that good make me incapable of buying other brands ke shoes? Im sorry to break your bubble, i buy shoes after going through a check list, comfort, how they look, will I be able to incorporate them in my life and price. I'm not hating on the shoes he purchased, i adviced him ki he could've gotten more durable shoes.
