Dinosaur Jr. Nikes and where to get them? - Page 2

Norma J · 03.29.2007, 04:47 PM

Nikes are lame and they generally look shit on whoever wears them.

Disclaimer: In my opinion.

Any shoes that act as advertising boards for a brand look pretty shit, but, hey, it seems to be what the kids are wanting.

Just to note, J does not make any money out of these Nikes he just designed them. I think he was just taking the piss and making them look as horrid as possible. I would just laugh if I saw somebody wearing them, I hope that day comes...

I agree. And considering Nike like to plaster themselves all over the shoe without any subtlety, it's quite disgusting.

sonicl · 03.29.2007, 05:07 PM

I'm not making excuses for Nike here, but you have to remember that they were originally a manufacturer of running shoes, and the presence of the manufacturers logo has always been pretty prominent on sports shoes, and on sportswear generally.

I was pretty amazed when I found a pair of Nikes where the logo was black on a black shoe, and therefore reasonably unnoticeable.

whorefrost · 03.29.2007, 05:26 PM

heh, doesn't Thurston have a pair of these? I am not into Nike AT ALL. Even the hipster-ish old school fat gravity style boot style Nikes that the kids are wearing with skin tight jeans, plaid shirts and scruffy haircuts... I hate them most of all I think
All black Cons all the way (black laces, soles, toe caps...)

FFS. Nikes: 83c to the sweatshop worker, 100$ in the shops. Nothing could be worse.

Everyneurotic · 03.29.2007, 06:46 PM

i was referring to the fact that he designed nike shoes; the reason i hate them is because i am sick of them, everyone acting like they are the shit, yes, they were the shit in 1987, they are over, it's just a nostalgia thing and people act like it's the best band right now, i'm sick of them. also, their new album is awful and no one seems to know it, they are over, another dinosaur of the alternanineties.

why does it seem like we're going backwards?

i've never liked or have ever owned nikes, i could care less about that, i'm just sick of this band. i think i won't be listening to you're living all over me in the next 3 years.

Why do you not post on a Dinosaur Jr forum? Too many J Mascis-like slackers on there who don't post random nonsense quickly enough for you?

If only that was enough of a reason for most people not to buy Nike's.
Maybe you could buy some cheap shoes and write Dinosaur Jr on them? SUPER LIMITED EDITON OF 1.
