Not a damn bit. I can still lambaste them in other forums.

Correct. I am the consummate consumer.

Don't get your knickers in a twist because I don't care to participate in the boycott of the month. Hell, I'm on YOUR side when it comes to Nike/Kaep/anthem protests/et al. Like in The Greatest Showman, "you can do what you do, I'm good to do like me."

My dad is an avid runner and has sworn by Asics for decades now.


Everyone's foot is different... Asics are good for running for sure but I really don't like their trainers... I am probably in the minority but I like Nike's for my trainers and I will continue to buy them... I have tried others but have found issues in durability or making my feet feel like shite...

My wife swears by Reeboks for her trainers...

Seriously. I'd have given him credit if he'd said Castro instead of Hitler. At least that would have shown some cogency and creativity.

Alas, straight to hitler. Lazy

It's not Halloween yet. They have to do their annual 'Pumpkin coffee.' I don't know about other regions but people at my SB don't buy it.

Same (I was never as big into running as my Dad, so I never really bought into Asics as much). Brooks actually makes a great running shoe, so I'd go with them. Nike Pegasus was pretty good for me in high school, as well.

Well, she gets some discounts on the Reeboks because of and old endorsement... They also still send her "new" shoes all along to try out and give them feedback before they hit the market...

I don't really care about the brand or the look... When it comes to my feet, if I feel good after a couple hours in the gym, then I like the shoes and if I can't even make it through a complete circuit without my feet feeling like they are going to fall off, then I don't like the shoes...

My feet will always be more important than some stupid boycott, always...

We are living in an era of woke capitalism in which companies pretend to care about social justice to sell products to people who pretend to hate capitalism.
