Comment on My son got Nikes so he doesn't get teased.

I always had Chucks, not because I didn’t wanna get teased mind you I just thought they were cool.

But man, they never really lasted that long. One to one and a half years of daily use, and they doubled in price in the last ~15 years (which maybe isn’t that much but I feel the quality went down a bit).

I remember being 4 or 5 back in the 70s, my mom tried to put me in Chucks, I refused to wear them calling them “clown shoes”. LOL.

I feel vindicated.

  Yeah, ever since Nike bought the lot they’ve been a bit mad with the designs…

I like the style, but yeah. They fall apart faster than wet tissue paper.

  I love my chucks. I have about 10 pair I swap through. But when I was a kid, they didn’t fall apart. They just got dirty and ripped up. Worst case scenario the tops of the side rubber separated a bit or split.
  
  But now, they will completely come apart between the bottoms and the side rubber.

I remember when high tops were in vogue. Granted, I hung out with kids in the “alternative music” scene, and Vans sponsored Warped Tour so much that “Vans Warped Tour” was just a normal term for us.
